Pick a niche, any niche… let’s say cigars and cigar related accessories. Since according to eBay’s  “Prohibited and Restricted Items – Overview” eBay does not allow the sale of tobacco products through the U.S. version of its site (except possibly for some special circumstances) you can sell cigar related accessories on eBay and reap a harvest of physical addresses. Every time you make a sale on eBay you will be gaining a prequalified lead. These buyers are prequalified because not only are they interested in cigars, they are interested enough to spend money!

Even if you make an average profit of zero dollars per sale from your eBay auctions you should be happy. With every sale you will be gaining something of significant value, something that will pay dividends in the future. As your direct mail list grows you will be building a gold mine for yourself that you can mine for years to come.
