Finding your niche market online through the ones that have yet to be discovered to turn your website into the place to go for that niche market.

OSI Rock Stars is an educational gold mine for online entrepreneurs who "Choose Success" as RockStar Founder Janelle Elms would say. Through OSI Rock Stars, we have the opportunity to participate in podcasts and webinars covering a broad range of topics that all online sellers would learn from: accounting, taxes, product procurement, search engine optimization, even Squidoo! We can learn more about how to diversify our businesses, as well as how to make the most out of the components we already have in place using the great information available at OSI Rock Stars. Janelle puts out a daily newsletter filled with kudos for the success that we have built, sharing questions she has received and gathering input from the newsletter subscribers to help answer the question. The OSI Rock Stars brings together a broad range of people, whose group knowledge is available to all to learn from.

Janelle has gathered a group of several experts on various topics to hold webinars and conference calls to share information with the OSI Rock Stars community. I have become sort of a Squidoo Guru among the Rock Stars, and have enjoyed not only being interviewed as an eBay Powerseller, but teaching an Advanced Squidooing class as well as a class on Alternative Selling Venues. I'll be having my second Squidooing class in February to provide additional education on ways to use Squidoo for your business.

I joined OSI Rock Stars to help me learn new ways to market my eBay Store, Katiyana's Collectibles, where I sell handmade doll clothes and handmade bear clothes which are made to order for my buyers. These make excellent gifts and have almost 50 different designs fitting several holidays and seasonal themes.

This is a resource that will help you deal with the ever-changing eBay selling environment!
