1. EBAY – PART 1
If you were to take a poll on what was the most popular form of making
money on the Internet, you’d probably get about a 50-50 split between
affiliate marketing and selling on Ebay. From the people I have spoken to,
Ebay seems to give them more of a feeling of really running their own
business. I didn’t really get that feeling because I’d already created my own
products to sell online. But I can understand their feeling of excitement.
They had to jump through a lot of hoops to sell on Ebay, especially if they
were into drop shipping.
Make no mistake about it. Selling on Ebay is a real rush. There power trip of
being totally in control of everything is far beyond the rush you get from
selling an affiliate product where you have no control over the commission
structure, website or anything. With Ebay, you make or break it on every
level.
However, with that kind of rush comes a great deal of responsibility.
There’s nobody to lean on when you’re selling on Ebay. You are your own
boss and everything falls on your shoulders. There’s no Clickbank. to turn to
for refunds. All refunds come out of your pocket and if there are enough
customer complaints, you can be shut down in an instant. So you better
make sure that you run a tight ship.
So, you want to sell on Ebay. Okay, if that’s the case, you better have a solid
game plan. I don’t mean just what products you’re going to sell. I mean
how you’re going to advertise, how you’re going to price, where you’re
going to get the products from and a lot more. Everything will have to be in
place and ready to go before you even place your first Ebay ad. Just one
thing not taken care of and the whole operation falls apart.
If you’re really efficient and a quick worker, you can probably get an Ebay
campaign going, depending on how complex it is, in about a week. Some
take a month or longer to put together. My particular campaign, when I
first started, was simple and took me a week. If I knew what I was doing
back then, it probably wouldn’t have taken me as long, but everybody
starts out somewhere.
One word of caution before you even venture into this territory. You’re
going to have to be very careful about regulations. Ebay has a ton of them
as does PayPal. They’re not going to care about your email to them that
says “I didn’t know.” That’s why Ebay and PayPal have all these terms of
service. They expect people to read them, even though they may take a
year and a day to do so.
Having said that, it is not the purpose of this tutorial to teach you Ebay and
PayPal regulations. That I am leaving in YOUR hands. This tutorial is simply
to help you set up a business for the purpose of selling on Ebay.
In our next chapter, we’ll get to the actual instruction itself.
In this chapter of Ebay, we’re going to get right into what you will need to
know in order to set up and run a simple business on Ebay. Hopefully, after
reading this whole series, you’ll be able to do just that.
Let’s get one thing out of the way. The reason that Ebay works is because
the number of people who are willing to do what is necessary to succeed
on Ebay is relatively small. So if you have what it takes and don’t mind hard
work, this just may be for you.
While this series is not going to make you what they call a powerseller
overnight, it will provide you with the foundation that you will need should
you want to take your Ebay selling to the next level. There are people
making $10,000 a week and more selling on Ebay. There is no reason you
can’t be one of them.
Okay the first thing you have to do is get registered with Ebay if you haven’t
already done that. Simply go to ebay.com to get started. After you register,
go through the members area so you know your way around. Ebay can be a
virtual maze, so make sure you know where everything is.
The next thing we’re going to do is start small. Yeah, I know, you want to go
contact a drop shipper and sell millions of dollars worth of product in a
minute. Do yourself a favor. Look around your house first and see if there is
anything laying around that you can sell. That’s how most people start and
that’s how I want you to start in order to get your feet wet.
After you do that, read this entire series. You’re probably wondering why
I’m having you get items to sell before you even know what to do with
them. I’ll tell you why in plain English.
Many people, after they learn how to do something, feel that it’s
something that they can’t do. It’s just human nature. We’re so afraid of
failing. This way, having already put in all that time to find articles to sell,
you’re going to be more likely to follow through because you don’t want all
that hard work to go to waste. That’s also human nature. Once we start
something, no matter how hard or even futile, we just can’t seem to stop,
even when we realize how impossible what we’re trying to do is. Well, Ebay
isn’t close to being impossible. It’s really very easy.
You’re going to have to take photos of all the things that you are planning
to sell. Photos are big with Ebay sales. No photo basically means no sale, no
matter what it is.
In our next chapter of this series, we’re going to pick up with some things
that you should and shouldn’t do. This will be a checklist of some of my
personal hot topics. Ignore them at your own risk.
