Promoting Your eBay Shop

Promoting Your Ebay Shop

When you have an eBay shop Im sure you know the importance of diverting lots of traffic or buyers to it.

There is no point having an eBay shop that no one ever visits.

Ok, its great to have an eBay shop because you get the lower listings fees but you know that these lower listing fees come at a price, your shop items dont get as much exposure or promotion as normal ebay listings, hence the low cost.

Thats why you have to work hard to get potential buyers to your ebay store where they can see all your other items.

I have wrote a quick ebook guide (with free resell rights) that can help make your shop more successful and get more people visiting it.

If you can get lots more people visiting your ebay store you will make more sales, you will be able to get lots of sign ups to your ebay shop newsletter if you have a good free giveaway as a reason to sign up, you will be able to get more exposure for your featured items boxes and much more.

An eBay shops needs promotion just like any website does, if you can get the right exposure for your ebay store shop, it will be successful.

listings removed or suspended from ebay

I guess I had to make a post about this, having your listings removed from ebay or worst of the worst... being suspended from ebay.

I have been speaking to several high volume ebay ebook sellers lately, all saying the same, except a select few (hmmmm), that they are having their ebay items removed for breach of copyright or for illegal copies.

Well, what a lot of crap!

Ebay knows we all have resell rights, we check before we sell the ebooks yes?

Ofcourse we do.

We even put text in our listings saying words to the effect of...

I am an authorised reseller

I am the copyright owner

This ebook is in the public domain

I can provide proof of my authority to resell this item

This listing does not breach any downloadable media policy

etc etc ETC ETC ETCccccccccccccccc zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz snore!

Fact : Ebay dont care what you put in your listing

Fact: Ebay will pull your listing

Fact: Guilty until proven innocent

Fact: eBay will apologise, and re-instate your item

What can you do?

Well if you are the copyright owner you can contact vero and fax off your ebook details.

If you are a reseller you can forward a copy of your resell rights license to ebay or vero.

What you cant do:

Relist the item until ebay have told you to do so

Sell under a different ebay user id

Register another ebay account while suspended

My advice if you get a listing removed:

Contact ebay ONCE, dont email them 2,3,4 times, it only slows down the process, email them once and state that you have proof of ownership, or resell, and tell them you can forward them a copy.

My advice if you get suspended:

Again contact eBay ONCE, dont slow down the process, explain why you have been unfairly suspended, back up your case with specific details of why your listings were incorrectly removed, and why you should be reinstated.

I know you will be mad, pissed off even, have a burning pain of anger deep down in your belly!

But NEVER EVER EVER be rude to ebay, you need them more than they need you.

Be polite at all times, if they are talking rubbish, explain why their information is incorrect, dont rant and rave and look like some mad lunatic!

Be cool, calm and collected.

Your listings will be reinstated, your suspension will be lifted, and all will be well in the world of ebay.

Remember these things are sent to try us, and try as they might, they will not stop us selling ebooks on ebay.

So just smile and turn the other cheek to ebay

Regards

Sally of sallys-ebooks (recently suspended and re-instated with FULL APOLOGY from EBAY!)

ps. when all is said and done, an apology from ebay is magnificent, print it, frame it, love it !

Posting on forums, why do it?

Posting on forums why should you do it?

Forums are on online resource where people cant post their:

opinions
seek help
give advice

etc etc

The great thing about forums is your forum signature.

You can have a link to your website, a link to your ebay shop
even a link to your ebay items for sale if you like.

So you can generate a lot of traffic and ideally get lots of sales.

So what type of forum should you join?

Well there are literally millions of forums on the internet, and most subjects are covered too.

There are forums set up for almost any subject you can think of.

Just because you sell ebooks doesn't mean you should limit yourself to only posting on ebook forums, if you have a particular favourite hobby or interest, for example say you love football or soccer, find a forum for that subject and just particpate like any other person would, but make sure you have your website or ebay shop etc etc included in your signature.

This means that everytime your post or comments gets viewed, there is a high possibility that people will be curious and visit your link.

Its a good idea to make your signature appealing, attention grabbing, and that will encourage people to visit your link.

If you are an expert on any type of subject, say, training a dog, sign up at some dog forums, give advice, help people, and again your signature will get lots of views.

Try and find the "hot" topics, the ones that get the most views, the ones that have had the most replies.

If the forum has a freebie section, give something away for free to visitors to your website and add a post in that section about your freebie.

Many times a forum will have an advertise your product or website, make sure you put an interesting post about your product or website.

Doing this will increase traffic to your website or whichever page you use a signature.

If you are a newbie to forums then I recommend that you visit one of these forums, if not both, they are both run by very friendly people, and the forum members are very friendly too and always happy to give you advice if you ask.

Inside eBay Forum

Goofbay Forum

Both these forums are ebay related, so if you have a problem with anything on ebay you are sure to find a solution posted on hereand if you are an ebay expert they will LOVE you!

One thing to remember, forums and their members HATE spammers, so dont just join forums and start posting links here, there, and everywhere to your website.

A forum is an online community, like a group of friends, so treat them with the respect they deserve, plus if you do start spamming forums, you will more than likely receive a few choice words posted about you and get booted out the forum.

Visit the forums I have listed about, browse the topics, see if you can help anyone, or if you have a problem yourself ask for some advice.

Happy posting

Sally

What is clickbank and how can I make money from it?

What is clickbank and how can I make money from it?

Clickbank is a bascially a company where people can list their products that affiliates can sell for them.

So say I was selling an ebook entitled "Get the NO1 Rank of Google" but I didnt want to do all the hard work of selling it myself. I would sign up at clickbank and allow their affiliate to sell it for me.

Now would would an affiliate or you want to sell it for me? Well its a great ebook (remember its only an example not a real ebook!) and if you sell it for me I will give you a 75% commission.

So you get to sell a great ebook and keep 75% of the sale price.

But how do you sell my ebook for me?

You get everything you need, you dont even a sales page for the ebook, you dont need to provide a download link for the ebook, all you have to do is promote your affiliate link.

When people click on your affiliate link, they get taken to the product sales pages, they buy from that page and clickbank directs them to the download page. You get 75% commission from the sale and all you did was promote a simple little link.

So can you see how simple it is to make money even when you dont have a product? Thats why so many people promote clickbank affiliate links, in fact some people have even created whole websites just with clickbank products on them, they do nothing except direct people to their website then collect all the commisions when they sell.

So how do you register at Clickbank simple:

To register as an affiliate ( sell other peoples products)

Sign up to sell other peoples products

To register as a publisher (and get other people to sell your product)

Sign up to get people to sell your product

Ok so now back to how you can make money as an affiliate selling other peoples products.

When you sign up as an affiliate you will choose clickbank nickname so lets say for example we use JohnnyB.

You go back to clickbank and choose marketplace, you will see this option at the top right hand side of the homepage beside my account.

Now you will be presented with various options which Im not going to go into great detail about, the main part that concerns you is the "Search the clickbank market place".

You will see an empty search box beside "keywords" this is where you will put the main word for the item you wish to be an affiliate for.

So say JohnnyB wants to promote golfing related products.

He types in Golf and hits go.

So he will now have a list of all the products on Clickbank that he can be an affiliate for.

Under each product their is two choices:

View Pitch Page

and

Create Hoplink

View Pitch Page will show him the page that people will be redirected to when they use his affiliate link. Always click this and take a look at the product sales page, just to see exactly what you are selling.

Creat Hoplink will pop up a box, it will have Clickbank Nickname and Tracking Id. Now Im not going into tracking id, but basically if you want to track your ads you would use this.

For now all you would do is enter your clickbank nickname in the empty box and click submit.

Now you will have another box pop up with your affiliate link.

http://JohnnyBsally69.shopuyd.hop.clickbank.net for example.

But obviousy it will have your clickbank nickname instead of our imaginary boy JohnnyB.

Try out your link and see what happens, it simply takes you to the sales page for that product, and when someone buys using your link, you get the commission.

I might also add that when you are browsing your search results you will see many percentages displayed below each product, the main one that interests you is the first one:

$/sale: $xx.xx this is the amount you will receive as commission when you sell the product.

The figure after that one is the actual percentage of commission is 75% of product price.

So now you know how to go to clickbank, get your affiliate links for lots of products and sell sell sell.

But once you have your affiliate link what do you do?

Well you can use these links in ebooks that you have written, if you write an ebook about weightloss, search clickbank for weightloss, get lots of affiliate links, and put them at the end of your ebook under a page you call resources.

You can use your clickbank affiliate link as your signature in forums.

You can use it in emails you send.

Or you could be clever and set up a whole website just containing your clickbank affiliate links.

Now most ordinary everyday people dont know what a clickbank affiliate link is let alone looks like so they will just click it.

But online marketers, ebook resellers, etc etc do know that its your affiliate link, and quite frankly, they dont want you to get commission from them, so they will just amend your link and add their own nickname or they will go to clickbank and buy the product direct.

So you need to cloak your affiliate links.

Cloak simply means hide the link, so that people dont know where is going to and cant cheat.

There are two free downloads on my website that will do this for you:

Affiliate Link Redirector Free Download


Affiliate Jump Free Download

both are simply and easy to use.

Or you can simply use Tiny URL here:

http://www.tinyurl.com

Tiny url makes a big long affiliate link url into a TINY URL simple.

So you insert your clickbank affiliate url ie. http://johnnyb.shopuyd.hop.clickbank.net
but it would be your link not imaginary boy johhnys.

And click make tiny url

A box pops up with your new tiny url ie. http://tinyurl.com/y75huc

Both links will take the person that clicks it to the same product sales page, but one shows
its a clickbank link and one doesnt.

Well I hope that has helped you understand a little bit more about how you can make money from clickbank without ever having a product of your own !

Whats the best auction to use selling on eBay

What type of listing is best for selling on eBay

Here is a quick guide to the different types of listings you may use to sell your items on eBay.

Auction
Buy it Now
Auction with Buy it Now
Reserved Price
Best offer
Shop store item

Auction

When you list an item for sale on eBay using the auction format, you are basically selling off your item to the highest bidder. Imagine you are at Auctioneers, the Auctioneer will continue accepting bids from people until one of two things, only one bidder is left and they will win the auction, or if time runs out. This doesn’t usually happen at a normal auction but time runs out on an eBay Auction. Buyers will bid on your item for sale, and when the auction listing ends, the ebay bidder with the highest bid amount wins your item. If you have a popular item for sale, and you have 3 or 4 bidders you can reach very high amounts as buyers don’t want to lose to another buyer, which pushes the price up and your profit up to. If you list as an online auction your item will receive full exposure on eBay search results.

Buy it now

If you list your item for sale on eBay using a Buy it Now or BIN, then you specify the amount you want to sell your item for, say 99p, a buyer comes along, likes your item, does a buy it now and your item is sold. You set the buy it now price for anything you want, but remember setting it too high will end up with your item not selling and you having to re-list later for a lower price. Selling using a buy it now format gets full exposure on eBay search results.

Auction with Buy it Now

This has to be my favourite way of listing an item, for two reasons, I will explain my reasons after the explanation of Auction with a Buy it now option. When you list an eBay item for sale you can combine auction and buy it now, which means you list your item as an auction but it can also be bought instantly. So you can list your item with an auction starting price of 1p and have the option of a buy it now for £9.99. Buyers can then bid, and wait to see if they win they item, or they can buy it now and not miss out on your item.

Ok now back to the two reasons I love ABIN (Auction Buy It Now) first reason is that when people search on items on eBay, they sort the items by price, usually lowest first, because everyone wants something cheap, that’s why they are on eBay after all, so your item will show up in the low price sorted search, lots of exposure.

Second reason, buyers don’t like to wait, if they want an item they want it NOW so they BUY IT NOW, ebayers are fed up of being pipped at the post, you know when a bid goes in at the dying seconds of an auction and beats their bid. So my experience is that people just BIN rather than wait the 7 or 10 days for the auction to end. Auction with buy it now also gets full exposure on eBay search result returns.

Reserved Price

When you sell an item on eBay you can out a reserved price on it. This means that unless your item receives a bid of a certain amount it won’t sell. You set the reserved price, it’s the lowest price that you are willing to sell your item for, so if you are selling a mobile phone on eBay, and you don’t want it to sell for any less than £200, you set the reserved price at £200, bidding will start on your item, but until a bid of £200 is received the auction will state that “the reserved price has not been met”.

If your auction had received a bid of £150, even though that bidder is the winner, they don’t win your item because the reserve price was not met. If the item received a bid of £200 then that person would win the item.

If your item received lots of bid, above £200 say the highest bid was £245, then you still get the £245. Your reserved price is the lowest limit your item will sell but does not limit your auction to that amount.

Listing with an auction with a reserved price will get maximum exposure on ebay search returns.

Best Offer option

The best offer option allows possible ebay buyers to suggest an offer to you for you’re for sale item. You list your item for sale, say £2.99, along comes a buyer and thinks yeah I want that item but I’m not willing to pay £2.99, I only want to pay £1.99, they can send you an offer through the eBay system and offer you the £1.99 for your item. You then have the choice of accepting their offer, and the item will be sold for that amount, or you can reject the offer, and the item will continue running in the auction for sale.

A buyer can only submit one offer to you. When selling your item and offering a best offer option, try and list it a little bit higher, so you will receive good offers on your item.

Shop Store Item

When you sell an item on eBay if you have an eBay shop or store you can list your items in there for longer and lower prices. So you can list your item for 30 days for much less eBay fees. Now this may sound great but there is a twist. EBay changed the rules, and now shop store items are only returned in eBay search results when there are few items similar to what you are selling.

So say I had an ebook, popular one, like eBay Powerseller Challenge, there is thousands of this particular ebook on ebay, so my shop store listing would not show up in the search results. If however I was selling an ebook that not many other sellers were selling, like Catch a Cheating Spouse, then my listing would be shown in the eBay search results.

So to re-cap if you item is very popular, it won’t show up in search results, if it’s rare and original it will. Remember to try and always have a unique title, dont use the same titles everyone else does or your shop item will get lost under all the others.

Don’t let this put you off listing in your shop or store because it can heavily reduce your ebay listing fees. Just use other auctions to divert people to your shop store items.

Always make sure you add a part in all your listings saying why not visit my shop for more great items.

EBay are always changing their auction formats, listing lengths, item exposures etc etc, so make sure you check what the current practices are rather than taking the information in this post as the law.

If you are a beginner to eBay and find it confusing, why not get this fantastic eBay beginner guide, and In no time at all you will be an eBay expert.

Note to resellers: This ebay guide comes with master resell rights, ecover, and ebay listing page too!
