Marketing on eBay Through Cross Promoting Your Items Effectively

One of the great things about eBay is that there are a lot of powerful ways to market your items and pages through cross promotion.

Cross promotion is the art of getting people who are just ‘surfing’ through listings to stay on your pages for longer. This can take a number of forms, but in particular it means adding links to your other items on each and every item listing that you put up.

One of the best ways that I’ve found for doing this to great effect is to sacrifice one or more of your best listings at any one time.

eBay gives sellers the option of featuring their listings in various ways. There are two options in particular that work in a very powerful way to do this.

The first is to feature your item in the search listings. This costs less than $20, but it puts your listing right at the top of the search listings for the keywords that are being searched. This can give your listing a lot more exposure because normally listings only rise to the top of the search pages when they are nearly complete (as the default search display option is listed in order of least time remaining on an auction).

The second and most powerful way of getting your listing noticed by hundreds of members is to feature your listing on the eBay home page! This costs a little extra, but for under $40 your listing is going to get maximum exposure.

Selling an item that is HOT at any time on eBay and featuring your item in the search rankings or on the home page attracts a lot of interest and many of the people who view your item will go on to visit your store or your other listings or your About Me page and this can attract a lot of attention to the items that you are listing at minimum cost. In particular drawing attention to the items listed in your eBay Store gives you the leverage of being able to list store items for next to nothing and then driving traffic there from your featured pages.

Also, another little known fact about featured pages is that they rank very highly in Google! And this remains the case even after your listing ends!!

What this means is that even after your featured listing is over and your item has sold you will still be getting a lot of search engine traffic to your still active listings.

I recommend buying a few items from eBay itself that have attracted over 1000 visitors and reselling them. Even if you don’t make a profit on these items you are investing money very wisely into your eBay business for a long time to come…

How to Sell eBooks on eBay

I recently started a fantastic course about how to sell ebooks on eBay written by Ray Johnson.

I dabbled in trying to sell ebooks on eBay a few years ago and had some success. I had about 10 ebooks listed and was able to sell about 2-3 ebooks each week. It wasn’t a great success, but that is all about to change.

Ray Johnson is the undisputed king of being able to sell ebooks on eBay. Seeing his success has really motivated me and in the next month when I complete the training and have learnt how to sell ebooks on eBay then I am going to jump right into it feet first.

Learning how to sell ebooks on eBay is actually quite easy, but the recent changes that eBay have made to their rules on selling digitally downloadable products (you can’t do it anymore) has confused me. I am hesitant to start doing it because I don’t want to be spending hours burning CDs with my ebooks on them and arranging postage. What really appealed to me before about selling ebooks on eBay was the way that the whole process could be automated. Apparently this is still possible and this is what I have been really eager to find out about how to sell ebooks on eBay in the wake of the changes.

I haven’t finished my ‘how to sell ebooks on eBay’ Jedi training yet, but I am starting to see a whole other level to the process that I was previously unable to see.

For starters I am realising that being able to sell ebooks on eBay is not just about the sales that are made on eBay itself, but rather, the power of being able to sell ebooks on eBay is in the back end follow up.

Here’s the strategy (in a nutshell).

When you sell ebooks on eBay now, you have to ship a physical product (usually a CD). But this doesn’t stop you from emailing the buyer and offering to allow them to digitally download the product while the CD is on it’s way. Most people will want that and so you make it available to them AFTER they sign up for your newsletter on something related to the ebooks you are selling. If they don’t opt-in there is no harm done because they will soon get their CD and get their ebook anyway. So you’ll get positive feedback presumably. If they do opt-in then you are able to follow up with other offers and you can offer affiliate products or upsell them on the download page. Brilliant.

There is a lot of potential here for a long term relationship with this one customer, much more than any other customer that you are likely to generate on eBay.

Just think what this means. If you sell 100 ebooks a month then you will get about that many new subscribers to your list. You will usually cover your fees on eBay so there’s no cost then to getting their traffic. Plus they are highly targeted customers, having already proven that they are willing to spend money on your niche. If they stay on your list for 12 months and you send them an email every day with information, training and an affiliate offer and they buy anything during that time, then you have just made yourself a passive income stream!

I can’t recommend highly enough this strategy and I look forward to writing more about how it is working for me when I get it up and running. I am very confident of success!!
