Have you ever tried to sell on eBay before? If not, you probably don’t know how to start. But the good news is that it’s incredibly simple and easy to sell on eBay without losing a lot of money. People come to this site every day looking to BUY something. If this isn’t a reason to sell on eBay, then I don’t know what is. I can tell you this: easy money awaits you there.
But it’s understandable that some people don’t like the idea of sitting at their computer and listing hundreds or even thousands of auctions every day…or every week. And I admit, that’s something I don’t want to do either. Fortunately, eBay has tools that allow you to resubmit and “autosubmit” your unsold listings. Last time I checked, this was called “Turbo Lister”. Great tool.
Now, if you’re still lost, don’t worry. Think marketing. You need the most qualified eyes for your auctions if you want to make big money. Now granted, eBay gets millions of visitors and customers visiting their site every day. But if you want real success, you’ll need to direct these people to YOUR auctions.
The first thing you can do is sell in a niche. Don’t offer 101 different items. People who visit your listings will likely search for your other items. And if they see you have a bunch of different things for sale, they won’t think you’re the go-to person on eBay for a particular range of products.
For example, if you go to eBay and sell a new SATA hard drive, the right person may find himself and check your other listings, just to see if you have another SATA drive available at a lower price. Don’t you do this too? Doesn’t this sound doable? What makes you think your prospects aren’t doing this too?
If you sell SATA hard drives, also sell PATA drives, solid-state drives, 3 1/2-inch floppy disks, processors, keyboards, computer screens, docks, etc. Get known as the #1 person on eBay selling a particular type of product. And make sure your prices are good enough to make a nice profit…all while giving your prospect a good deal, too.
Another thing to do is drive traffic to your page using resources OUTSIDE of eBay. For example, many people increase their eBay store sales for free through free marketing. Techniques like article marketing, forum marketing, affiliate marketing, YouTube, social marketing, email marketing, backend marketing, etc. they are allowing these people to actually make a living on eBay.
You can do the same too. And if you want to increase your sales, you’ll need to generate traffic using some of the most popular internet marketing techniques. Once you make them, they’re a piece of cake. And yes… these strategies can be done for free. Take the time to learn and master them, and watch your eBay sales slowly increase… month after month.
Good luck selling on eBay and having success there.
