Sell Like You Mean It

Sell Like You Mean It

Selling on ebay is easy, however if you really want to be successful, you need to sell like you mean it, that means being professional. Now that you’ve got the basics down. How can you optimize the experience for you, and your customers? 

1. Remeber keywords are just as important on ebay, as it is on your blog or website. When listing your merchandise do not over do it, but make certain that you are very descriptive, give details of the product you are selling along with photos that are crisp and clear. Make sure to be helpful and informative, make it easy for your buyer to choose you. You get the picture right.
2. If you are selling the same item, do not over list that item, you want to create the feeling that it is the one and only blue Jean jacket from 1959. The only exception to this rule, is if you own the exclusive rights to the merchandise, and you are the only business they can get it from. Otherwise you do not want to cheapen your wares, rare is good, except for your steak, I will have mine well done.
3. If you plan on going big time, of course you must register your business, get a business license, maybe even a tax id. Check your state and any federal laws, to make sure you are legit, you probably can operate your business from a jail cell, but you probably do not want to. If your business grows to the point that you need help, be prepared to offer them a 1099 form, again check your state and federal laws so that this info makes dollars and sense.
4. Protect your seller rating, that means do not sell junk, it is okay to sell used items. However selling items that are defective or just plain does not work is one way to get a bad reputation that will not be easily overcome. No No Don’t Do It.
5. I know you want it quick and easy, but I am going to tell you, like I have told you all along, multiple streams of income is the best way to make money on the web. This means, you should link your ebay business to your blogs and your website’s. You have to think about quantification, getting the big bang for your time, doubling and tripling your efforts to break free from the work week grind of nine to five. So in short, though ebay could be a great way to make good money. Your customers will more than likely be looking to see if you also have a presence online, and they will tell other people, about their experience, why not give them and their friends some place to go.
6. Do Not settle for the status qou, get educated, your buyers will be educated, they will know if you are the real deal. By learning all you can about conducting business on ebay, you will protect yourself from the scammers, and you will grow a succesful business that will last for a long and profitable time.

Next we will shift gears, and talk about buying and selling companies online, as an alternate way, to making money on the web. Get your calculators out, it is time to do some number crunching.
