Which ebooks should you list on ebay

Which ebooks should you list on eBay?

Well, really I would say any ebook you have, always give it a shot, you never know how popular it may be.

I always list an ebook on ebay at least twice, and the first time I list a new ebook I do an online ebay auction at 1p start, this lets me see how many bidders it gets ie. how popular it is, and the average price it will sell for.

Once I know the average price I then move it to my ebay shop and list it at a fixed price.

To find out which ebooks are popular remember to use the ebay shop traffic reports.

When you list any new ebook you can quickly see how much traffic it is generating, if its getting very little views then dont ditch it, change the title, your title could be making sure no one sees the ebook.

Each time you get an ebook with a high amount of views, make sure you always relist it, this will maximise the traffic coming to your store who will potentially view your other items or sign up to your newsletter.

If you keep relisting the ebooks with a high amount of views and ditching the low viewed ebooks very soon you will see a massive increase in traffic to all your auctions and an increase in your sales and profits.

Its also a good idea to do an advanced search on ebay (see my other post on searching) and just type ebook, and select completed listings only, then look through the titles and see which ones are consistently selling, get a copy of this ebook yourself and add it your own ebay listings and this will ensure you have the most popular ebooks on ebay and the ones generating the highest traffic.

Also look at eBay Pulse, you will see it on the ebay home page, this will give a listing of all the most hot / popular items on ebay at this time, if you have an ebook on this subject get it listed, if you dont, get out there and find one, better still write your own!

Now remember when you have an ebook that isnt as popular as your other ebooks, dont just ditch it and leave it gathering dust on your pc, give it to your subscribers for free, you may not want it, but I can assure you that someone will want it and will appreciate the freebie.

A final tip, when selling ebooks dont just use the title of the ebook or the ebook cover that comes with it, change it, make it your own, give it a new title make it stand out from the 1000s of others selling it on ebay, better still give it a new ebook cover if you can, this can make the world of a difference and transform your common looking ebook into a unique looking ebook.
