I want to talk to you about this brilliant system that I use to
sell my products and use affiliate links through eBay. It has given
me a reputation for trying income streams that others wouldn't even
think of.
In the Internet Marketing field we ALL take the mick out of
marketers that sell information products on eBay. I know I used to
regularly be the victim of those jokes. We have always believed the
same that eBay makes your product look cheap and tacky and
completely looses its value. After all how many cheap e-books are
sold on eBay for less than three dollars?
There are far too many to go into great detail about - you could
probably do a search on eBay and find way over 1,000 different ones.
Before I carry on I used to be one of them until the autumn of 2005
when I realised that the eBay fees were simply too much of an
annoying outgoing.
I used to find niches on eBay that everyone else was oblivious to
and I was one of the first to sell products for a penny on eBay but
it was all about Internet Marketing.
When I sold an E-Book for a penny I could VERY easily sell over
1,000 a week and it was my starting point for building up my
mailing list. When I sent out the customers order via email
download I would offer them some extra products for free in
exchange for opting in. In general one in five would join up (20%)
and many are still part of my subscribers today.
The penny auction was also rather popular with sellers too! When
you join eBay as a seller it doesn't look good that you have zero
feedback so sellers would buy about 10 different products from the
low auctions and use the feedback from those sales to get them a
good reputation.
One of my other gems was selling the Cabbage Soup Diet and at £6.99
a go I was laughing even though now it is over done at the usual
£1.99. I'm just using this as an example there are many, many more
niches to be had on eBay its just a case of secretly looking for
them just like I have.
Let's get on to the best bit!
eBay are attempting to cut down on the large quantity of
information products sold on eBay and recently banned automatic
download products with the sellers. The sneaky way that the sellers
have got around this is by selling the downloadable media on CD or
DVD instead. But we all know the amount of content that we can
place on a CD these days talk about damaging the environment.
After all why sell a copy of a Police Auction guide on a CD on its
own?
What would the environmental Secretary have to say about it?
Well there are an awful amount of eBayers selling just that right
now on eBay. What if you could go to them and offer them a solution.
I have personally been contacting sellers for weeks now offering
them the opportunity to cash in on it. Say you have your own viral
e-book or report that you can offer for free in exchange for
fantastic exposure back to you. You see every time a customer buys
via eBay they will also receive your new product on the same CD as
a bonus. Everyone loves a bonus and after viewing your product will
then go and visit your website.
Now that is a result!
I don't have a sellers account anymore as I don't need one all I do
is buy things from eBay for personal use. I also have a fantastic
about me page with links to my websites and affiliate links. I
regularly contact ten different eBayers a week and offer my
products for free in exchange to feature on their CD.
The best bit is they always say YES!
They are always thankful and can't believe they are getting up to
date content to their customers for free after all many are selling
E-Books that are more than four years old!
In affect this is completely free advertising or selling of your
products without having to list anything or pay any sellers fees -
what more could you want?
This loophole though isn't going to be available forever sellers
are soon going to get wise and start selling space on their discs
and who could blame them - if I was selling on eBay I would.
So any eBay sellers reading this - why don't you sell space on your
discs via Internet Marketing Forums or your About Me Page after all
it is FREE advertising and you have nothing to lose.
What if you sold 10 spaces a week on the grounds that it would be
included in 50 CDs at £30 a go that would earn you an extra £300
per week for doing practically nothing!
Also think about the wonderful feedback you will receive for your
customers praising you for their "bonus e-books" it will be amazing!
Think about the difference it could make either as the seller or
the E-Book owner!
