LET EBAY BOOST YOU'RE TRAFFIC!!


Hi Folks,

Well it's been over a week since I last logged in but I have just returned from a trip to Tokyo,Japan!!

What a place.......It's so different to anywhere I have travelled to before....the Culture is very strange....lots of head bowing and taking off of shoes when you enter peoples houses. Oh and the Jet lag too, 9hrs ahead of GMT.....It was just like in that film "Lost in Translation", awake all night and finally dropping off to sleep at 8am.

Anyway whilst I lay there trying to sleep my mind was working overtime, thinking about all the things I had planned to do on my return to good old Blighty! I have got a lock-up full of old household goods to sell on ebay, so it would mean lots of listings for me to do. I then began to realise the power of ebay and its huge Marketplace to generate huge amounts of traffic to other on-line ventures, such as your own ecommerce websites.

Such a lot is written these days about Search Engine Optimization and using Google adwords and adsense to generste traffic but very little is written about using ebay!!

For that reason I would like to share with you this week an article written by Joe Clare called:


"How to Make a Serious Income Online without a Website":


Did you know that eBay gets over 1.8 Billion (yes that's Billion with a B) page views per month, and moves over $15 Billion a year in merchandise? It is the 4th most visited site on the Internet, and at the time of this writing has sites in 26 countries worldwide. So do you eBay? I do! And, thousands worldwide are taking advantage of the Goldmine on eBay. Shouldn't you? If the idea of turning your lose change into hundreds of dollars appeals to you, then keep reading.

The great thing about operating an eBay Auction Business is you don't need a website to make money online and it allows you the freedom of working at home. And currently over 150,000 people are doing just that. Working at home, and making a full-time income, online without a website with their eBay Auction Business. Have you ever wondered if you could be a successful eBayer? Have you ever asked yourself... "How do they do it?" or "Where do they find all their "Hot Merchandise?". Well, here's an insight from my book "eBay Marketing Wholesale SourcePak" into how to start your eBay Auction Business from Home on a Shoe String Budget using Dropshippers.

Using Dropshippers is a smart way to get your eBay Auction Business up and running especially in the beginning. By using Dropshippers you will not have to worry about storage of costly inventory, packaging of inventory, or the shipping of inventory. Your Dropshipper will look after all of that for you. And with the ease of using Dropshippers you will have more time to concentrate on improving your sales skills and learning how to bring more customers to your eBay Auctions. The fact is, most Dropshippers charge you nothing to become a member to sell their products. While others may charge just a nominal administration fee. Plus, you can list your item on eBay for approximately .35 cents. So, as you can see your eBay Auction Business will cost you very little to get started. With such a low financial risk the only thing you have to lose is a bit of your time.

At this point you might be wondering how Dropshipping on eBay would work. It's a simple process. First you should browse eBay to find an item(s) you would like to sell. Then become an eBay member. Once you have an item(s) you are interested in selling, locate a Dropshipper for that item(s). Sign up with the Dropshipper. Now, list an auction on eBay for the item(s). Once your auction is over and you have a buyer, email your Dropshipper the required information. Your Dropshipper will then send the item(s) directly to your customer and charge your account the wholesale price for the item(s). The difference between the wholesale price and your retail price is pure profit!

All successful eBayers know that they must sell what the public is wanting to buy at a price the public is willing to pay for it. So research your item thoroughly. Know what your cost will be, and approximately what you can sell the item for before you decide to sell it.

Happy Selling!
Joe Clare
