7 Ways To Get Subscribers On eBay

2008-09-18T22:12:00.000-04:00

1. Include a signature file on every email you send to buyers explaining your newsletter. If you offer a free report mention it's benefits. If you send invoices through eBay use the notes to buyer section.

2. Insert a note into every package you ship explaining your newsletter.

3. Use your eBay me page. I offer a free report on my me page and then promote my newsletter in the free report.

a. Me page explains basic value of free report then links to outside page with additional report benefits and opt in form or download link.

b. EBay rules say you cannot use sales language or link to a page with items for sale on your me page.

c. Test asking for sign up before giving away report. I give my reports away first because I'm only interested in readers who value my information.

4. Divert auction viewers to your me page. Two ways to do this:

a. Put a mention of the free report in your auction listing with a link to your me page. No sales language - "a free gift just for looking at my auction." This works best at the top of your auction.

b. Add your current listings to your me page and then put a link in your auctions saying "see my other auctions to save on shipping." There is a command you can use when building your me page that will automatically insert your current auctions. The free report ALWAYS goes at the top of the page, the listings go below.

5. Create products to sell on eBay attractive to your prospects.

a. We used to use ebooks and PDF transcripts, but eBay no longer allows the sale of these items. Now we use small printed booklets and CDs. Price these items so you brake even or make a small profit. Videos will also work, but are more expensive so start with a booklet or audio interview.

b. Make sure these auctions also include the diversion tactics and your me page is set up so you get opt ins from people who don't buy.

c. Mention your newsletter within the product and include a separate sheet of colored paper with the benefits of subscribing on it. Keep mentions within audio and video products evergreen.

6. Use eBay classified ads. For $9.97 a month you can run classified ads in the everything else category on eBay. Your ad can have a link to a webpage.

a. These don't work well, but they are cheap so they are worth testing. If you're selling dog training information, they surely won't work. If you're in a biz opp type niche, they might work.

b. Your classified ad has a compelling title, and then lists the major benefits of your newsletter. Then there is a link to your sign up page where you list the major benefits again along with minor benefits and privacy/unsubscribe policies.

c. You can also use classified ads to promote ebooks. In this case you sell the ebook in the ad, then link to a simple payment page. (Directly to paypal?)

d. If you're using somewhat desirable keywords in your title, the Home Page Featured option ($179.95) will get you a good ranking on Google for the phrase. It's only temporary though. Don't test this option until you know your classified ad is working without it.

e. Something to test - put a newsletter article on eBay as a classified ad. At the top and bottom of the article explain it's a sample of your weekly newsletter and provide a link to your opt in page.

7. If you have an affiliate program, provide your affiliates with items they can use to promote you in the course of their eBay sales. They get commissions, you get new readers and sales.

a. Signature files - Many of my affiliates use the quiz teaser. (See below.)

b. Package inserts.

c. Brandable reports for me page - I have a me page generator on my site that allows affiliates to easily give away my eBay Buyers guide. The guides have affiliate links within them, and are hosted on my site. No Web skills are needed.

Summary Here: Combine the above tactics. These are in the order of productivity and ease of set up so you can just work down the list. As you get farther down the list, you'll get more and more subscribers every week.

Make Money Selling Dirty Pieces of Paper on eBay

2008-08-31T01:20:00.003-04:00

Dear Reader

There’s something I want you to know, about an incredible way to make really fabulous profits on eBay, and I bet you won’t ever hear this from anyone else. That’s because if any other eBay seller knows about this goldmine, they’re certainly keeping it to themselves.

I would keep it secret too if it wasn’t for the fact I know the business can never be saturated.

First let me tell you there’s nothing secret about what I’m doing to make a very decent living on eBay, I write about it all the time, I am an eBay PowerSeller and editor of a newsletter about making money on eBay, I’ve always been very open about what I sell and how much money I make.

So when people ask me: ‘What’s the best thing to sell on eBay?’, I always answer ‘preferably something collectible, old and rare, which costs you little or nothing to buy and sells at a respectable mark up, and very often reaches record-breaking finishing prices! That’s the best thing to sell on eBay.’

So many things fit the bill, like stamps and coins, books and cigarette cards, but none I’ve encountered in my forty years of selling collectibles comes even close to vintage postcards for generating a really good income, even for sellers lacking experience and knowledge and without investing huge chunks of cash to get started.

Now I’ve recorded everything I know to paper, or rather to eBook, which will tell you all I know about selling postcards , and making money every time you list these hot little collectibles on eBay.

Finally - Available for the Very First Time - My Proven, Tried and Tested Secret for Guaranteeing Your eBay Account is Filled With Fresh Sales Every Day …..

Postcards are different to most antiques and collectibles, very different, because you really can list postcards on eBay that cost you just a few pennies to buy and fetch double figure finishing prices, sometimes triple figure sums. You can do this any day, every day, at any time, on any eBay country site.

I live in the UK, but I list postcards all over the world on eBay, and it isn’t just in your own country that you can make really big profits selling vintage topographical postcards. In fact the business can usually work better for you overseas, especially where you buy foreign postcards which few people want in your country and promote them to millions of insatiable postcard collectors all over the world, on all eBay country sites. So, although you might find me talking in £s and $s, in BANK HUGE PROFITS SELLING VINTAGE TOPOGRAPHICAL VIEW POSTCARDS ON EBAY, I’ll show you how to market items that cost you pennies in your own country, or overseas if you fancy bringing stock home from your holidays, which can fetch hundreds of pounds or dollars depending on which eBay site you choose to list them.

You Could Paying Pennies Apiece for These Dirty Bit of Paper and Selling Them on eBay for Double or Triple Figures Sums …

Why You Should Get Started Soon Selling Vintage Topographical View Postcards on eBay

They’re among the most collectable items, alongside stamps and coins, and most topographical view postcards actually sell themselves.

Make Money Tearing Up Old Books and Magazines and Selling Them on eBay

2008-08-31T01:15:00.001-04:00

by Avril Harper eBay PowerSeller

For the past few years I've been tearing up old books and magazines and selling them on eBay and generating very good profits. I'll show you how to do exactly the same.

You could be making money from items other people throw into their rubbish bins each day! Items they're glad to get rid of, which serve no obvious purpose once they're more than a few hours old. Just ask and most people will stockpile these items for you, some will even pay you to take them away to make room for more of the same.

We're talking everyday items here, even recent publications available in abundance, alongside other paper items which are old and quite rare yet still just cost pennies at auctions and flea markets or even on eBay itself.

We're talking about newspapers ….. magazines ….. and books ….. the sort of things most people buy to read and bin soon after. 'Rubbish' that could earn you upwards of $200 a time - and doubtless a great deal more - every single day!

Priceless? Today's Newspaper? How Can That Be?

The simple truth is, most people don't realize a newspaper or magazine can be even more valuable once it has been read and crumpled, and finally discarded. Few people understand the wealth of opportunities that lie buried in the pages of average modern day or somewhat older publications.

And just as surely they don't know - or don't believe - that money is waiting to be made from these publications, but only by those who have the inside knowledge essential for turning paper into gold. You can have that inside knowledge today and very soon:

You WILL Soon be Generating Very High Earnings Indeed From These Projects ..... Most of Which Require Just a Handful of Magazines (Sometimes Just One) and a Few Common Household Accessories.

Everything I am doing is completely new, few people are doing anything similar on eBay. You see, it's just a few years since I discovered this easy business myself, and it's something I can't wait to share with you.

This entire concept has made me an eBay PowerSeller, yet I genuinely am just touching the tip of this exciting opportunity. There's much more to this business than even I can tackle and the market is wide open for more people to copy me exactly and generate some extra spending money or even earn a full-time living this way.

It's all so easy, so profitable, so enjoyable, and when you see what's involved you really will be amazed at the prices people all over the world will pay for items anyone can find, take home and dismantle, and …..

…. Best of All …………..

You don't have to learn for yourself how to get started making big money from tearing up easy-to-find books, newspapers and magazines, because my unique blueprint is packed with illustrations, showing you, step-by-step, which are the best publications to look for and how to turn your finds into easy cash.

You will discover, in precise detail, exactly how to operate one or a string of eBay businesses, all selling individual items removed from old books, newspapers and magazines, and how to turn every single page of those publications into a profitable earnings source for you.
These are the things you'll discover:

* How to reach thousands of people looking to buy your items on eBay.

* How to describe your products in a way that sends people rushing to 'Bid Now' or better still bid way above your best expectations and even rush to get their money into your bank account within minutes.

* Why the best item to buy to resell is something nobody wants and would never contemplate buying. But wait, there is an incredibly good reason for you to buy that item and with just a few minutes' effort I'll show you how to turn it into something people will fall over themselves to buy! This is the stuff bidding wars and eBay record breaking prices are made of!

* What to offer your customers that costs you less than one penny a time to provide, yet turns even the most ordinary item into a must-have product that by far the most sceptical of eBayers just can't wait to bid for and own.

* Discover a very simple, easy thing to do, that few others are doing already, which can quadruple your profits, and even if many more people are selling similar products to yours (very unlikely) yours will still be the ones people rush to bid for and buy.

* How to start a bidding war for your eBay listings! You'll see how, for a little extra 'work' you can increase your prices significantly and still have people fighting between themselves to buy whatever you are selling. This is so easy, yet most people on eBay just don't know this secret I reveal in my report, even though it costs nothing and takes just a few minutes to do.

* How to make really silly money. I'll show you books that contain thousands of items that can be sold separately, each of which can bring bids of $4, $10, $40 or more a time. I've done it, many times, and I include irrefutable proof in my book. I'll even show you which books and magazines to look for and how to get them at the lowest possible price, even free of charge! You'll quickly discover that the choice of publications you can choose from is so immense that what you sell is nothing at all like what I am selling and could in fact be worth much more than my items. The upshot is that won't ever encroach on my market and I won't ever be a threat to you!

* What every cat lover in the world wants from you ….. and every dog lover, too. And the more you have of these everyday items, the more those people are happy to pay.

* How to turn a handful of ads. for goods you can no longer buy into a powerful profit-generating machine. You'll see how just a handful of magazines will generate the bulk of your profits when you learn secrets that normally take years to learn. You can profit from this knowledge in days.

* The freebie that's worth a fortune to you. You'll learn where to find hundreds of these items every week and have eager regular bidders for every one.

One Final Thing

Remember, no special experience is called for on your part, and my book is written in straightforward, easy to follow instructions. There are pictures and illustrations to help you more easily understand what's involved, as well as step-by-step instructions about what publications to choose, what to do with them, how to price and promote them, even how to fulfil your orders in expectation of bigger profits later.

You can start this business any time you like, it won't date, it won't go out of fashion. The business, and my eBook, work equally well in the USA as in the UK, or in Japan, or Ireland, Italy or Canada, in fact anywhere at all!

But I would recommend anyone currently contemplating this 'ground-floor' opportunity to ….. do it now ….. simply because if you don't establish a strong foothold in one or more areas soon, someone else may beat you to it.

Make Money on eBay Motors without Selling a Thing! - Steve Lindhorst

INSIDER SECRETS FROM AN eBay MOTORS INSTRUCTOR

"Let me show you how you can earn $5000 a month - starting today."

The most common eBay question is:
"What should I sell on eBay?"

Answer: "Nothing"

FACT: Most Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles sold on eBay Motors are sold by dealers.

Guess what? They hate creating eBay listings.

THEY WILL PAY YOU TO DO IT

Did you know that General Motors just announced their intention to have the inventory of their 3900 US dealerships listed on eBay Motors? That's over a quarter million vehicles.

Let me ask you:

Could you list 3 cars a day?
Are you an eBay seller?
Are you happy with your eBay sales?
Do you enjoy dealing with unreasonable buyers?
Are you sick of getting low scores on your Detailed Seller Ratings? Even though you work really hard to get things packed and shipped promptly?

Consider this…
"You could make well over a thousand dollars this week, using eBay Motors, and stop dealing with headaches from buyers."

Best Selling eBook Ever? - Jim Cockrum

2008-06-04T23:21:00.004-04:00

I don't know if this book (and all 5 previous releases) is the all time best selling eBook or not, but it's been selling like crazy since 2004 on the top eBook website, Clickbank.com, and it's been at the top of the charts for much of that time making several appearances at #1.

After much editing, creative input and long hours of hard work Jim Cockrum is about to release the latest and greatest version (version 6).

The website is being re-worked and finalized now - it really needed an update!

This is a final warning though that within a few days the NEW book with a NEW higher price will be out. Right now you can get the old version for it's current price and we'll give you the latest upgrade for free when it's released within days.
