Well, it’s about that time again. Time to talk about eBay! eBay is hot right now, and it may be even hotter in the future. Many people from all walks of life and of different intelligences make a living selling on eBay. And guess what? You can too. Not only do I believe in you, I want to give you some tips that can help you succeed.

There are some essential things that you will want to do if you want to succeed on eBay. There’s a little selling you have to do. On a site like Amazon, you can simply list your item and then wait until someone orders. And that’s why so many people LOVE to sell on Amazon. They get a lot of traffic from buyers every day and the “selling process” is very easy. Well, eBay can be easy too.

I have seen $150 cell phones sold immediately on eBay with just a 5 sentence paragraph. Can you imagine putting a website online, and then putting a product on it, and writing 5 sentences about it and selling it quickly? Most likely, this is an unlikely possibility for you.

Let’s look at some quick tips on how you can be successful on eBay. These techniques are proven to work, and they work whether you’re selling on eBay or also selling products on your own website. If you want to improve your eBay sales, you should pay attention to these strategies. Here is the first:

1) Depending on what you sell, also sell on “Half.com”.

Do you remember Amazon? Well, “Half.com” is an eBay subsite that works the same way Amazon does. And items are selling FAST here. But they don’t have as many categories as Amazon. On this subsite, you can sell CDs, DVDs, books, textbooks, audiobooks, and more.

It’s an easy way to earn more money in your spare time and all you have to do is ship the items when they sell. Plus…it’s a great way to increase your comment score SUPER fast. Your feedback score on “Half.com” is carried over and correlated to your main eBay account. Such a great credibility builder here on this site. Here’s another tip:

2) Do more direct advertising to your past customers

This is known as “background marketing.” This is basically the process of selling more of your products to the customers you already have. This is where most of your money online will come from. Even if you advertise 100% free online, 80% of your total business revenue will come from your backend customers.

Imagine what you can do with them. You can sell them more products in your eBay inventory. You can sell them a package for $500. You can sell them on a $2000 seminar. You can sell them on a $20/mo continuation program. And etc. Here you can earn a lot of money. It’s up to you to go and get it.

Selling on eBay can be very easy if you know what to do. Get some experience, learn how to sell, and don’t forget the basics of direct response and Internet marketing, so you can attract more visitors to your auctions. Good luck!
