With so many buyers on eBay everyday (it’s approaching the billions worldwide); you probably think that it’s a gold mine for anyone wanting to sell something. Awesome huh, just put up your auction and wait for the cash to roll in.
Hang on a second Sunshine; it isn’t quite as easy as putting up an auction and hoping for the best. I only wish it were that simple. That’s why you see some people, selling the exact same thing, but earn more money than others. So how do they do it?
Well it all comes down to traffic. Traffic to your eBay auction really is the key to making money on eBay – I mean it makes sense doesn’t it – the more eyeballs on your listing the more chance you have of getting a few people bidding on it, and then if they get into a bidding war and the price starts rising – ahhh good times – then you can start counting your coins.
So this article will give you a few tips on how to get more traffic to your eBay auction.
Let’s start with something that will only take you a few seconds to set up – your email signature. How many emails do you send in a day – 10, 20, 100? What if only 10% of people that saw your email signature viewed your ad – that’s an extra 1, 2 or 10 people per day that you could have potentially bidding on your item. Just a quick line like “Regards, Joe Smith, Check out my eBay auction – [link]” is quite fine for an email signature and enough to get a few people curious as to what you are selling.
Too simple? Ok, let’s look at something else you can do. Do you have more than one listing? Then you are cross-listing them I hope – aren’t you? That’s where on every listing you have, you can have a link to every other thing you are selling on eBay. eBay allows you to link to any other page inside it’s site so take advantage of it.
It’ll get people looking at everything you have for sale, and they just might find that perfect thing they were after and bid.
