Auction Power Guide

Selling information products on the Internet has been one of the biggest boom markets in the last 3 years. You can see that in the number of people selling ebooks, videos, and membership sites and so on, the Internet. Back in 1996 there were under 50 people selling information products online, now in 2005, there are literally millions of sites selling all sorts of information to all sorts of people.

So why are all these people flocking to sell information products online? Because of the promise of quick money from scam artists. Most people who are selling any sort of information online are usually resellers (affiliates or people who brought reprint rights to a product) or they created an ebook themselves. For more details go to www.auction-o-matics.com .What these people don’t understand is that the market is nearly saturated with the same books they are trying to sell. This of course leads to a price war, and then no one makes any money because they are all trying to undercut themselves to be the cheapest in the market. This is not a viable business idea.

So why would you want to get into creating information products and sell them on Ebay?

That’s a good question.

The reason why I’ve been profiting from selling information products is because I make myself different. I don’t go out there selling the same information, I go out there and break new ground with great products at great prices that people actually want to buy, and the best part is I usually spend nothing on advertising.

It still really is possible to make your fortune online with information products; you just have to find 3 things.

1) A hungry market

2) A good product

3) An unrelenting sales machine

All of this will be covered in this guide.

So what exactly are you going to learn in this guide? Here’s a quick run down of what I’m going to teach you, then we will get into business…

Why Sell Information Products On Ebay?

Ebay is the Mecca of online shopping. If you can’t find the product or category you are after on Ebay, it’s probably because it doesn’t exist.

Ebay literally has millions of people with cash in, hand coming into it’s online store everyday looking to buy what ever takes their fancy, and this in my opinion makes Ebay the bee’s knee’s when it comes to advertising online. For more information logon to www.auctions-profits.com .So few people actually think of Ebay as a viable way to make money with their information products. The few who do understand its power are making their fortunes online.

Let me give you a few examples. Connect to the Internet if you have not already and have a look at the following Ebay sellers and make sure to look at their feedback and see what they have sold!

If you make money what are you selling and where do you get it for cheaper than you sell it? Give me some tips please. Thanks for being so sweet!!

Julie,

The real goal behind making money on Ebay is to find/sell those ‘items’ that a large consumer market are always ‘buying’, regardless of the market.

To find the ‘hot items’, for a lack of better words, that are sold month-after-month, check out these two (2) Ebay references:

* http://pulse.ebay.com

Here, you can find a LOT of GOOD information, such as what ‘categories’ on Ebay are hot and/or what the hot selling ‘items’ are as well.

* http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/hotitems.pdf

This second resource is a MONTHLY PDF File, composed and maintained by Ebay, which will tell you what categories/items have been consistent ‘hot items’ from month to month. While the PDF file will change with each passing month, the URL above WILL NOT! So, bookmark it and continue to review it every month.

The next thing to consider is finding ‘drop-shippers’ of some of these products. The benefit to having a ‘drop-shipper’ is that when your auction is over, you send the request to the drop-shipper, they then take over the ‘customer experience’ and will handle everything from shipping the product to the customer, dealing with charge-backs and most everything else you can think of that would be common place in any type of transaction.

Another key to being highly effective/successful with Ebay Auctions is understanding all the different types of ‘auctions’ there are and how each one can help increase your sales.

A great resource that I recently came across which outlines everything there is to know about ebay auctions and making money is found in an ebook I came across not to long ago and you can get a copy if you’re interested in taking your auctions from ‘somewhat profitable’ to ‘hugely profitable’. The link is here:

http://fhurl.com/b663

Remember though, nothing is ‘easy’ when it comes to making money on ebay. If it was, then everyone would be selling on ebay, but since we know that’s not happening, you CAN profit from these techniques!

Hope this helps?

Cheers,

Jack G.

At some point, you bumped into a virtual item auction on ebay, where the seller was exchanging a downloadable product for cash. You probably wondered why the seller was offering the product for such a low price–and you probably also wondered how he was making money.

There are two answers to this question: the first answer is that the seller had no idea what he was doing and, in fact, wasn’t making any money on ebay.

The second answer is that the seller was highly-experienced and was making hundreds of dollars each day, even though his auctions were only showing one-dollar sales.

This sounds totally bizarre, especially if you haven’t sold information before, but it is absolutely true: there is a fortune in selling information–especially on the Internet.

Now, in the case of the ebay seller I mentioned above, she was probably using information products as a “loss leader” to make back-end sales. She might sell 10 copies of an ebook for $1 each and might end up being $2 in the red at the end of the day after paying seller’s fees.

But she knows this–and this is okay because she now has 10 highly-qualified prospects for whatever product she is using her ebook to sell.

If her ebook is about teaching people how to make money selling on the Internet, she might list purchasing a domain name and hosting as one of the steps the buyer must take. To the buyer, this may seem innocent enough; however, when he follows her plan and purchases the hosting and domain name as directed, she will earn a commission on the domain name registration and a recurring commission on the hosting for as long as his Internet business sticks around.

If you want to try this system out, you can search google for “re-brandable” ebooks with “resale rights.” You can also search ebay for similar products. A number of people make money on ebay selling these ebooks.

If the rights permit, you can purchase the product and then sell it as a downloadable product on ebay.

If you want to maximize the effectiveness of this strategy, you should keep prices very low. Your goal should be to use ebay as a medium to disseminate the book for free or for a very low price. Unless you are selling a book that contains no back-end sales mechanisms and no affiliate links, your goal should be to sell a powerful system (contained within the book) to a customer who will use it successfully to make money–and, in turn, earn you a residual income by sticking to a system that earns you money.

I have sold a few personal items on ebay and found it good fun. I’m a student and I need some extra cash, so I was thinking of buying something to regularly resell on ebay. What kind of items will sell with good profit, that are not the same as what everyone else is selling, yet are popular? Is there anything you can never find on ebay that you think there is a lack of?

Toasted Snowballs are always really hard to find…!

In all seriousness though, there is no magic missing item form eBay, but there are plenty of missing magic sellers.

You need to find a niche market – either something that is hard to find, or a unique way to sell an already popular item.

For example, there is a guy in Scotland who has found a loophole in the law that allows him to sell a few square inches of land, but the new owners are then entitled to be called "Laird of the Manor". He makes around £20,000 a month from selling his back garden!

A great example of unique selling was a woman who lost a load of weight who was selling her dresses and clothes, got her husband to model them in the listing pictures! She made the news on a lot of blogs and forums and also made a tidy sum in sales.

The best place to start is to look at your own hobbies and interests and look at what things you buy. Now ask yourself how much do you think they cost to produce, and how much did you pay for it. Do you think you could buy it wholesale and sell it cheaper than your competitors and still make a profit?

It is best to stick to products that you know well and are familiar with – you will have a better sales pitch than if you tried to sell technological products that you may nothave the first idea how they work or what they do.

You say you are a student – what are you studying, and at what level? You could always impart your knowledge on others by creating an eBook to sell. There is some SERIOUS money to be made through Intellectual Property… (trust me on this, do you think I can write answers like this for fun 😉 ?!)

Also have a look at eBay blogs and discussion groups to see what people are talking about, and what people are buying. Ping are doing a range of multi-coloured golfballs that are fetching silly money on eBay, and the Transformers film has launched a resurgence in the old Transformer toys.

When people visit your internet pages and leave without buying anything, you may never get the chance to sell to them again if they don’t come back to your site, for more details:www.autoresponders-unlimited.com information from emailing in a while, then you can send follow-up messages, and dramatically increase your chances of making a sale in the future.

There are plenty of building a list, but in this article I want to main topic on a strategy generally ignored by the majority of marketers, and that’s through Ebay. When you see listings for $0.01, there’s a good chance the seller is using backend sales tactics or trying to encourage you to join their newsletter, on the other hand they would be losing money for every sale, due to Ebay’s fees being higher than the sales price.

The best way of gathering a lot of sales, and therefore potential subscribers is to obtain some ebooks which offer resale rights, and listing them on Ebay. There are many websites where you can pick them up, routinely for free. If not, there are membership sites, where for a one time fee you can aquire hundreds of ebooks all with resellers rights, or you could of course buy one of these ebooks offering resellers rights on Ebay, oftentimes at a very low price, then resell it yourself.

Unfortunately,not much money is made just from selling many of these ebooks on Ebay alone, because the sellers have forced the prices down to very low levels. Rather, you can help very nicely financially from persuading the purchaser of your ebook to subscribe to your newsletter or ezine.

It’s estimated that every subscriber in your list is worth $1 per month, so if you had 1000 subscribers, you could expect, on average, to earn $1000 per month. This figure assuredly varies a lot depending on your sales copy, Go:www.email-auto-format.com. of your mailings, but it’s so it’s easy to see why owning a list is potentially very profitable.

The idea is to offer on your main site varied quality free bonuses to each new subscriber that opts in to accept your newsletter. Then when a buyer buys an ebook from you, and you send them the email with the download link included, you can always upsell your newsletter by mentioning the further free bonuses they could receive as well as the ebook they’ve just purchased, and including the link to your main site where the opt in create is found.

I’ve had great success doing this because the majority of everybody, myself included, love freebies, and the purchaser will be more than happy to receive extra no-cost ebooks, as well as their original purchase, just for filling out a simple setup.

The only thing to bear in mind is that the sale price of your ebook should cover any Ebay fees, although you can always from offering it for $0.01 just to hopefully guarantee a sale. You will lose money on every sale, but it all depends on how much each subscriber is worth to you. If you have a top-quality newsletter or ezine with hardly any unsubscribe requests, then it may be worth doing because you are likely to fashion any minimal losses back generally over in the future.

Can you get rich selling ebooks? Yes ofcourse, you can earn a very nice income selling them online.

Ebooks are electronic versions of printed material that can contain text, sound and images. The profit potential from selling them is high because the start up and operating expenses are very low.

You can even make more money if you write some of your own ebooks. Your writing skills do not have to be stellar. There are online sources that will take your research and craft an ebook for you. Some of these companies even take care of marketing, payments and shipping.

Buying Ebooks for Sale

You can purchase them from authors online. eBay is another source for buying ebooks with resell rights. Your customers can also sell these books, thus providing an incentive for them to do business with you.

Make sure the ebooks you buy or write yourself are full of useful information and resources. Some of them are nothing more than ads and sales pitches for the writers products. These ads will turn off customers and decrease repeat business.

Do your research to determine what types of information people are seeking. Getting rich selling informative products onlne will depend on the topics covered, customer base and marketing campaign.

Make sure to do an online search for the title before buying them for resale. If lots of web sites are selling the book, its probably a popular title and will be a good seller. It also helps to sell ebooks that cater to a specific market niche. Search online forums and other group sites to locate potential target markets for niche titles. Contact these groups with a short email inviting them to visit your site. Offer an incentive such as 20% off first purchase to increase site traffic.

Ebooks about current trends or hot topics will generate more income. Your income will really get a boost if you can spot the next big topic and write or purchase to sell before the competition saturates the market.

Marketing Extras

You can use a common template for your ebooks web site or sell them on an existing site you already have. However, to stand out from the competition, create your own web site to sell these products. Always add new titles to your stock to keep old customers coming back and to attract new ones. Use email to notify customers of new titles and special sales. Offer discounts on slow moving titles.

Affiliate programs are another way to get rich selling ebooks. The affiliate pays you a commission for the quantities you sell. To make money from ebooks you write, start your own affiliate program.

There are plenty of online and print books that will help you learn how to get in on the sales bandwagon. Do yourself a favour and search online. You will definitely find a good one.

bay is widely considered the digital flea-market of the Internet. But for many savvy infopreneurs, Ebay is a goldmine. And to them, selling ebooks on eBay is wildly profitable.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying they are banking big checks from selling ebooks on eBay at $1 for a bundle of 100 of them! No. These smart infopreneurs are looking on eBay in the right sense – as a huge gathering place of eager, ready to buy customers.

You could get into their midst, scream yourself hoarse about your ebooks, and make a few sales. Or you could go about the process of segmenting and selling your ebooks to the perfect targets – and make a lot more sales at far less effort or expense.

To get it right, you need to understand the process.

#1 – Having your product funnel

Are you planning to get rich by selling your ebook on ebay for $19 – and doing it over and over, many times? Forget that. It’s hard work.

Instead, create your own product funnel. This means having a series of products or services – ebooks, reports, courses, homestudy programs, seminars, coaching and mentoring sessions and more – on the theme of your expertise.

#2 – Segment your audience

Then, write an ebook and offer it for sale on eBay – at a mouth-watering low price that’s hard to resist.

This is the wide mouth of the funnel, designed to attract as many interested prospects who are good candidates for buying your other products and service. The main purpose of your ebook here is to find those people on eBay who are interested in your niche or theme.

#3 – Educate your buyers about the value you offer

Once you’ve got a list of customers from selling ebooks on eBay, communicate with them regularly. Give them valuable information, coaching, education and resources to improve their life. While you do this, educate them about the value you offer.

For instance, don’t just give away a collection of links to helpful websites. First, mention how you spent 14 hours surfing the Web, checking out hundreds of other websites, looking for only the very best resources that offered the highest value without wasting a user’s time. You should visit us at www.eazy-ebook-money.com. Then share how you sifted through the list, and compiled the best of the lot into this special report, which you are sharing with only valued clients, because you care about them!

#4 – Sell your eBay list your higher value items

Once you have established a trusting relationship with the list you build from selling ebooks on eBay, you can now offer them more value at a higher price point and still have a fair number of them take you up on it.

This sequential approach has helped you turn a $1 buyer on eBay into a life-long client who willingly spends increasingly higher amounts with you because you offer more value.

Selling ebooks on eBay is not a route to instant profits. But if you know what you’re doing and have a structured approach to business building, it can be very lucrative. eBay being a dynamic marketplace, things change very rapidly. To stay on top of things, you must constantly study and educate yourself on the nuances of being a better infopreneur. This way, you can make eBay your goldmine too.

Discover the simple techniques to build a list using only the power of eBay.
Just two or three years ago, eBay was an absolute goldmine when it came to selling eBooks. It wasn’t hard to find a few eBooks and resell them for $10, $20 or even up to $50. But now everything has changed.

It’s virtually impossible now to find an eBook on the internet and resell it on eBay for the prices stated above. Sure, for more help visit to: www.37-list-building-secrets.com. you can sell them for $1, maybe $2 but with eBay’s ever increasing rising of sellers’ fees, there’s little profit to be made doing that.

Competition on eBay is fierce and it shows no sign of letting up. Selling higher priced eBooks is no longer an option (unless you write them yourself) and eBay should now be used as a ‘stepping stone’ for other online business ventures.
While the eBay market place may be more competitive than ever, there are also more buyers than ever before. The only problem is, these buyers are looking for cheap and free eBooks and that’s what you need to provide. For more detail go to: www.build-own-list.com. Once they’ve bought these niche eBooks for $1 or $2, you hit them with the following steps so that you can squeeze more money from them initially and also turn them into a customer for life who constantly pumps cash into your bank account.

“Use eBay to generate paying customers to your other online businesses”

The above statement is probably the most important you’ll read in regards to eBay selling. The money is no longer on eBay when it comes to eBooks but instead you should:

Build a list – No matter what internet marketer you ask, I guarantee you that they would say “the money’s in the list”. It is often said that every subscriber on your list is worth approximately $1 per month; however in some niches could be worth hundreds of dollars per year if you build your list in the right way and treat them right.

If you have a list you can also generate affiliate revenue by broadcasting an email to your list promoting a similar product. You can also generate ad sense revenue by posting an article on your website and sending all of your subscribers to the article. You can also promote higher priced resale rights products and even better, you could write your own eBooks and be guaranteed sales because you can always market to your list.
Do all of the above and you could turn a $1 eBay eBook sale into a $200 per year or more paying customer? The money really is in the list and eBay is the best place to start building.
