|
To: Anyone selling on eBay or interested in making money on eBay From: Timothy Mina, author, Online Auction Expert's Bible to Selling on eBay So many marketers try to sell the idea that you can make money on eBay by picking up a wholesale guide, buying a few items, listing them on eBay, and waiting for bids. It doesn't work that way. If you give me a few minutes, I'll explain how to make money on eBay the right way. No hype, no exaggerated promises, just the proven, time-tested methods that are used by eBay's most successful sellers. Keep reading to learn (click to go straight to a section):

The Ten Tips You Must Follow The proven strategies for maximizing your profits on eBay can be broken into the following blueprint - ten MUST-do-for-eBay-success tasks: Tip #1: You must be the only person selling what you sell. This very idea sounds crazy when you first hear it, considering there are millions of items on eBay every day. But it’s not difficult to do if you find your own, profitable and enjoyable niche to specialize in. What are your hobbies? What are you passionate about? What skills do you have? You can make extra money selling pretty much anything. But if you want to make a living on eBay, you must find your niche. Don’t worry...I'll help you and show you how DO-able it really is. Specializing in a profitable niche will enable you to easily add personal value to your products, hunt for bargains, effectively sell your items and provide world-class service...ALL must-do tasks. Tip #2: You must add significant personal value to your items. Adding value makes your products unique and it increases your profit margin. You can add personal value in several ways including:
The book shows you exactly how to add value and helps you pull dozens of profitable ideas right out of your head. Tip #3: You must hunt for bargains. Unless you're creating your own informational product or homemade item, you have to buy products to resell. Remember when I said I was going to tell you the #1 reason why most people don't make money on eBay? Drum roll please...
Most people don't
make money on eBay because If you're trying to find bargains in the wrong places, you're paying too much. No matter how well you do everything else, you won't make money unless you know how and where to shop for bargains. You can’t just rely on wholesale guides or drop-shipping sources to find products for you to sell, because those sources are often unreliable and their prices are usually higher than eBay market values. Most bargains are found offline rather than online. The more you have to dig to find a source, the more profitable it generally is. The book reviews the best sources for finding bargains, shows you how to build your own profitable source list and teaches you how to shop for bargains at approximately 40 separate locations (garage sales, flea markets, government auctions, even your local dump, etc., etc.) Once you learn how and where to shop for bargains, you'll be amazed how easy it is to find good deals. Offers that you used to pass up will pop in front of you left and right. And that's how you do it on eBay. You make money when you buy, NOT when you sell. I'll show you how and where to buy in order to do what most others don't...make a substantial profit. Tip #4: You must have web marketing skills to SELL your items. You don’t need a marketing degree to sell on eBay but you do need to learn critical marketing skills to help you write great sales copy. Most eBay sellers don’t take the time to analyze their target audience (who they’re trying to sell to). But if you do, your sales will increase because your readers will feel that your ad copy is written just for them. If you have your own niche, you will have a much easier time of understanding your customer’s mindset and needs and it will be much easier to write great ads specifically driven toward your target audience. The book's powerful and informative section on copywriting teaches you to write to sell like a pro in no time. Tip #5: You must take great photos of your items. Pictures can boost your sales, big time. Including photos with your listings isn't an option, it's a must. But poor pictures can actually hurt your sales. You need to know how to take pictures that sell and how to get those pictures onto your eBay listings. The book's complete, step-by-step picture tutorial will help you take great photos. Tip #6: You must provide world-class customer service. Your reputation and your level of repeat business are two factors that may ultimately determine if you succeed or fail on eBay. If you offer adequate service, your reputation won’t be ruined and you will still get business. But only if you provide tremendous, world-class customer service will your reputation grow, word of mouth start to spread and your repeat customer base explode. World-class customer service is more than answering e-mails and completing sales quickly. It is a philosophy that must be deeply infused in your business for you to stand out from the crowd. You must be memorable for your sales to really grow. Providing world class customer service is the lifeblood of your business and as such it is stressed throughout the entire book. Tip #7: You must know how to do all of the post-sale tasks. Contacting customers, collecting payment, packing items, shipping items, keeping records, etc. This is all the obvious stuff…and it’s what most eBay sellers learn but for some reason they stop there. But it is important and the book contains the most complete "after the auction" guide available. It shows you how to do everything you need to do the right way. Tip #8: You must not rely only on eBay to advertise your items. The primary benefit of eBay is that it automatically drives targeted traffic to your auctions. But does that mean you should just sit back and let its search engines do their work? No! If you really want to maximize your profits, you must aggressively advertise your auctions on and off eBay (this does not mean send spam e-mail or unwanted advertisements to anyone. If you ever do anything like that, your reputation and YOU are toast). Just because eBay brings in traffic doesn’t mean you can’t do so much more to increase that traffic. Advertise your items for sale in your actual listings, at your eBay About Me page, at websites, websites, e-zines and discussion groups related to your theme, in specialty and trade magazines related to your theme, offline if you find targeted sources, etc., etc. I'll show you exactly how and where to effectively advertise your products for free and at a low cost. Tip #9: You must enjoy what you're doing. You're ten times as likely to stick to something if you really enjoy it. The good news is you can follow your passion on eBay. Pursue hobbies or subjects that you love and enjoy. So you'll be dealing with something you enjoy and you'll interact with others who share your interests. This literally turns work into play.
This is where making money on eBay gets fun. So fun that when you're away from your computer, you'll actually be counting the minutes until you get back so you can play some more.
The possibilities are endless. Your own profitable niche must revolve around selling products or services related to something you love. Tip #10: And The #1, Can’t Miss, Most Critical Strategy Of All…
Diversify Your Business Beyond eBay to
If you want to make a living on eBay, you must, must, MUST diversify and develop streams of automated income in addition to the income you generate from your eBay auctions.

And that’s how you can make a living on eBay. I'll show you exactly how to diversify beyond eBay to put your business on autopilot and make the earn-while-you-eat-and-sleep type of income.

The Online Auction Expert's BIBLE to Selling on eBay is light years ahead of those other books. It provides detailed and specific information, strategies and secrets that you will use to make the most money possible, whether you're a beginner or you're already a power seller.
The Online Auction Expert's Bible to Selling on eBay shows you exactly how to master eBay at every turn. More and more people are benefiting from the value of its ideas and strategies.
Why Listen to Me? Hi, my name is Timothy Mina. I've been selling on eBay since 1998 and I've tried nearly everything possible. I've made a lot of money at times but I've also wasted time and money at times. I learned the ropes all by myself and it took a couple years of trial and error before I really started to get it right. This is the place where you might expect me to say, "I've been successfully selling on eBay for years, so if you do what I say, you'll make a lot of money." But this isn't about me. It's about you and your business. Doing it exactly the way I did might not work for you. I would be foolish to assume it would and any book I wrote that only explained my experiences wouldn't be worth its salt. We're not the same person and we're not selling the exact same thing to the exact same people. Don't get me wrong. I am going to share my experiences with you. But I'm going to go far beyond that. I'm going to teach you the proven, time-tested, profitable way to sell on eBay and I'm going to show you how to pick and choose the methods that will work for you to make you the most money possible. If you'll take the time to test my ideas and see that they work for you, I'll take all of the risk out of your hands.
eBay is an ideal home-based business opportunity...if you're prepared to do it right. For every success story on eBay, there are several failure stories. That's because people don't know how to do it. To make money on eBay, you must be motivated to work and willing to learn how to do the work. The good news is, it is simple work and you can master it, even if you have no business experience. When I started selling on eBay, I tried to do it all on my own. As a result, I made my share of costly mistakes that I could have easily avoided if I had the benefit of other successful sellers' experiences. Then, I purchased several eBay books or manuals. All they did is teach me the basics that I had already learned or at best they provided a few helpful tips that made me get an extra sale in the short run. None of those books really went into depth to make up for my inexperience. I couldn't find any proven winning strategies. I had to figure it all out myself. After a while, I started to have a lot of success on eBay, but can only imagine how much easier it would have been if I had some help along the way. That's exactly what this book will give you. If you want to learn more about my history on eBay, click here to read my bio. But like I said before, this isn't about me. My book goes far beyond my own experiences and what has worked for ME. I spent hundreds of sleepless hours interacting with other successful sellers and researching proven strategies that eBay's most profitable and successful sellers have used in the past and will continue to use in the future. I put it all together to create the most helpful book ever written about eBay. A 365-page, all-in-one, total resource to show you how to join the 1% of sellers who make more than pocket change on eBay. I'll show you how to find success on eBay and I'll provide you with the right knowledge passed on from other experienced and successful sellers. All you need to do is bring your own motivated and willingness to work for your success. If you're willing to do that, and you follow my advice, you'll literally be forced to succeed. Give me a few more minutes to explain how I can help you.
The Truth Behind All the Hype You can make money on eBay if you are motivated and willing to work. And you can even make a living if you take control of your business rather than run it the way eBay wants you to. I'll explain what I mean by that in a minute. You've seen the infomercials, the junk e-mails, the headlines about sellers "making $5,000 per week on eBay easily in 3-5 hours!" eBay is as good as any home business opportunity out there, but nothing is that good. Selling on eBay is not a get-rich-quick scheme. The hype about eBay that has been flooding the net over the past few years is filled with exaggerations and flat-out lies. Selling on eBay is simple, meaning anyone who is willing to learn the ropes can do it and it doesn't require anything like a business degree. But it is not easy, meaning it takes real, actual work and dedication. If you are willing to commit yourself to a great home business opportunity, eBay might be the best thanks to its numerous benefits to individual entrepreneurs. Selling on eBay is a great opportunity to make extra money, whether you want to work a little bit for a little extra income or you want to work a lot for a lot of income. But the vast majority of eBay sellers don't make a worthwhile profit. In fact, a great deal of people make no money or even lose money selling on eBay. Why? Well, there is one primary reason why most sellers aren't successful, and I'll tell you what it is shortly. But the fatal mistake most people make is that they're simply not prepared for the workload that comes with selling on eBay nor are they willing to learn the right way to do it. If you're looking for a home business opportunity and you're willing to make a serious effort to achieve your goals (I'm not even talking full-time work. You can make money in your spare time. You just have to be motivated to really work for it). Then and only then can the information I have to offer be of any help to you. So, are you ready? "The only book that

You might be brand new to eBay or you might have some experience as a seller. You might have bought a few "eBay guides" and have been slightly disappointed with what you read. We've all been there. Don't worry, this book is light-years ahead of those recycled "eBay guides". In fact, some of those so-called "eBay marketing secrets" manuals are actually four-year-old rip-offs of a booklet I wrote myself. Nothing written about eBay that long ago is remotely useful today. Whether you haven't sold a single item on eBay or you have years of experience, this book will show you how to make eBay work for YOU to make the most money possible. The Online Auction Expert's BIBLE to Selling on eBay is far more than just a beginner's how-to-use eBay guide. The strategies you'll learn in this book will increase your profits and guide you to e-success if you're ready and willing to learn. If you are a beginner, don't worry - the first section covers all of the basics, including how to register, how to navigate eBay, how to browse, bid and sell, etc., and I will make it easy for you to keep up if you're new to eBay. So although the Online Auction Expert's BIBLE to Selling on eBay is an expert's guide to winning the eBay game, it is for people of all experience levels. It will help you manage your time better and boost your profits even if you're an experienced power seller, and it will help you every step of the way if you're a beginner.
