Career

Before her online career began, Collier owned and operated her own marketing and advertising firm, The Collier Company, and won numerous awards including “Small Businessperson of the Year” accolades from several organizations.[6] Collier got started on eBay during the site’s early years and became one of the site’s first successful sellers. She is an eBay Top Rated Seller.[7]

The first edition of eBay For Dummies was published in 1999 (the first unofficial book on eBay). She co-authored that edition with Roland Woerner and Stephanie Becker and became sole author of the series on the second edition. In 2001, Collier authored the first book targeting individuals interested in making eBay their full-time profession, Starting an eBay Business For Dummies.

In December 2005, Collier hosted the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Public television program Making Your Fortune Online, a complete guide to starting and operating an online business. The two-hour program, shot in front of a live studio audience in San Francisco, was a full seminar on conceiving a business idea, finding products or services to sell, finding the best sites for your products, and understanding the legal, operational and tax issues related to having a successful online business.[8]
