Product Review

The Scanner Monkey Way is both a personal narrative describing the formation and philosophy of the Scanner Monkey tribe of online sellers and an outline of the resources available to its members – from the Facebook group to the ScannerMonkey.com website. The underlying theme is how sharing information and working WITH rather than AGAINST other online sellers will help you increase your sales on Amazon or eBay and grow your business. Scanner Monkey founder, Jay Bayne, and his co-leader, Cordelia Blake walk you through the history of the Scanner Monkey group and discuss how living by the “Scanner Monkey Way” code of conduct can benefit all online sellers in a group. You will learn how utilizing crowd sourcing to locate profitable deals (or BOLOs) can not only help you make more money, but also have more fun than a barrel of monkeys! This will be illustrated with several examples from some of the Scanner Monkey members on how sharing with their "co-opetition" has benefited their businesses. Lastly, resources like the BOLOG database of deals and the private BOLO Exchange will be explained as ways to enhance your product sourcing.
