WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE COURSE
Rita Seiler, Beginner Antique Seller
I think your course is awesome! It is well-paced as far as “assignments,” giving ample time to complete. Your powerpoint presentations are very detailed and easy to follow, and I love that I can always go back and watch them again.
As a teacher, you are supportive and always there to help each of us, no matter where we are at in our learning experience! You are always quick to answer questions we may have. And most of all, I love your down to earth personality and your savvy at finding deals on your expeditions, and I look forward to your videos on what you have found.
Thank you for all you do to help us beginners. You are much appreciated in the vintage and antique community!

"I would never have ventured into some of the online venues that Diana taught us without her guidance! Because I am not a really proficient user of technology, I am sure that I would have given up long before successfully setting up my online platforms. It was challenging, but Diana was patient with her advice."
SUZY BURGESS BACINO, Vintage Seller
"I have been selling a bunch on FBMP--you made it so easy! Really having good luck and honing in on what sells for me on this platform. Last weekend I sold 6 out of 7 items in 24 hours.
I just listened to your Etsy video and I LOVE how detailed your explanation was and how thorough you are! I take a lot of notes each time I watch one of your videos. Looking forward to your next instruction. Thanks, Diana for the great info and motivation!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I am not a antique expert. Will your course be over my head?
I created this course for business beginners who have some antique knowledge, but you don't need to be an expert. It's for those who've never sold antiques before, those just starting out, and sellers who want to learn how to sell on a new platform.
I've been selling vintage and antiques for years. Will I get anything out of your course?
If you are currently only selling vintage and antiques on one platform, and would like to add another, then yes, you will learn a lot! In fact, you'll learn everything you need to know to get started on a brand new-to-you platform(s). I highly recommend selling on more than one platform.
What do I need in order to successfully complete this course?
You need a computer and basic computer skills to complete this course, for example, knowing how to migrate photos from your phone or camera to your computer.
You don't need to purchase an expensive camera but you will need a smart phone that takes good quality photographs, along with the knowledge of how to use it. A printer and PayPal account are also highly recommended.
I don't have a lot of money to invest in a business, can I get started with very little cash?
Yes! If you have $10 to $20 per week that you can use to invest in the purchase some vintage and antiques to sell (or already have items on hand), then you are ready to get started! It just may take you longer to grow than someone who has more to invest.
In the course, you'll learn how to create a successful antique business in the most frugal possible way.
