Making Money On Ebay Is Easy When You Know How

INCOME ON EBAY IMMEDIATELY! CLICK FOR DETAILS!

How many times have you seen that ad lately? Chances are that this ad or one similar to it has made it's way to your inbox several times, maybe more.

You probably hit that delete button the minute you saw the word "IMMEDIATELY" didn't you?

Well, the next time you receive one of those ads, think twice! You CAN make money almost immediately using Ebay and I will give you some tips on exactly how to do that.

Pick an item or product to sell
Ask yourself these questions as you choose what to sell to the public.
•    What are people looking for?
•    How much are they willing to pay for it?
•    Will the item require special shipping?
•    Basically, is there a market for this thing?

Answer those questions, meet the challenges presented, and you are on your way to making money with ebay, baby!

Now that you have an idea in mind, it's time to…

Do some homework
Go to Ebay and do a few searches related to a specific product line. See what people are offering and IF the product you are selling is already being sold a lot. The idea is to get something new and exciting out there so people just cannot live without it and THEN be the only seller offering it to them!

CHA-CHING!!

A little homework goes a long way for you here. You can learn what search terms are being entered, what categories things are listed in and how much the market price is currently. With this information, you can stay competitive.

Now you have a product AND a little education, it's time to…

Write an AWESOME description
This is a vital part of the Ebay listing and is the first thing that potential buyers see. Use descriptive words, adjectives and word groupings that catch the eye. Words like "no charge" and "free" have power! If you know some basic HTML, use font sizes and colors to accentuate the WOW! factors.

Build the product up to "God" status but don’t lie! Just accent the positive and present the best mental picture possible.

Add a photo to the listing. Why? Because it's FREE and people like to see what they are bidding on. A picture can sell a million items, folks!

And now it's time to…

Put together an AMAZING package deal
People love free things and the word (FREE) will draw buyers to your listing like bees to honey. As an example, I used to offer my buyers a free t shirt with every item bought and they absolutely ate it up. All you need to do is add the phrase **FREE BONUS** to your description. Curiosity will prevail and if you offer it, they will come.

Another way to draw buyers in to your listing is to put the shipping into the price of the item. In your description, you can tout "Free freight" as a selling point. Repeat that in the listing text body. This sounds simplistic, but it works!

Remember that these buyers never meet you or see you in person, so all they know about you is what they see on their computer screen.

Make a great first impression!

Ebay money is very simple, just go for it...

Hi James,
You provide some great resources. I believe a lot of people get stuck in the product choosing phase! I have been teaching people how ot make money on ebay for a while now and it always seems that people get stuck here. SO the first thing they do is search "ebay products" or something like that and they are overwhelmed with everyone trying to sell them dropshipping courses and what not.. when the fact is there are TONS of free places you can get your inventory done. One key place is craigslist! The best place to get stuff for nothing that is worth something to someone else.

Anyway, sorry for rambling! Check out my website, i teach people how to make money on ebay business model! www.FastEbayEarner.com

There are TONS of free resources, not to mention I show you exactly how I make money. With eBay
