I’ve stumbled accross a great little low cost report called The $5 Traffic Trick. No, it doesn’t cost you $5 each time you implement the strategy, it costs just $5 for the instructions of how to put a great strategy, that works very very well with  Hubpages, into action! This strategy is very useful to those that struggle to get new visitors and readers to their websites and their blogs! Without visitors (traffic), you will find it difficult to maintain an ‘online presence’ and therefore your site building efforts will be a waste of your time.
This is how it works:

Step One: Create a Hubpage

Step Two: Do the Traffic Trick.

Step Three: Start Getting Traffic Instantly!

The $5 Traffic Trick…

- Does not require any software
- No money needed to use this trick
- It’s not illegal or shady
- Can be implemented in less than 2 minutes for your existing or new hubs.

This report is about a simple trick that you can very easily implement on your Hubpages that has the potential of generating lots of traffic to your Hubpages and ultimately, your Websites, in minutes.

$5 Traffic Trick

Having looked at the discussion boards on eBay and read the plethora of objections and complaints concerning the recent changes at eBay Uk  , I thought I’d better check my calculations to make sure my future eBay plans are viable!

At the moment, I plan on listing 15 items per day @ 15p per listing x 30 days and I have a basic shop at subscription cost of £6.00 per month. That comes to a total of £73.50 per month.

Under the new pricing, listing without a shop: 15 items per day @ 40p per listing over 30 days comes to a staggering £180.00 !

With a Basic Shop : 15 items per day @ 20p per listing x 30 days plus the new basic shop price of £14.99 per month subscription adds up to £104.99! This is a massive price increase and I can fully understand the knee jerk reaction of some of the shopkeepers / sellers that are posting on the eBay discussion boards!

However, if I choose to go for the featured shop it looks a lot better : 15 items per day @ 5p per listing x 30 days plus the featured shop subscription of £49.99 adds up to a total of £72.49!

So basically my costs for listing and having an eBay shop will roughly remain the same but I will have the advantages of featured shop including telephone support and my shop listings showing up in the main ebay searches and as of 24th September Gallery Fees will remain free!

The only drawback for me from the changes is that they have taken away the option for your listings to be visible in the U.S and Canada. The way round this is to list an Auction with Buy It Now where the option for International Visibility will still be available.

All in all, I’m quite pleased with the changes and my plans for eBay look viable, although I can understand that other sellers are upset over them. But I’m sure, once the ‘red mist’ has disappeared, the majority of them will see that the changes are not all bad!

eBay Uk  have announced a few big changes that will come into effect on September 23rd. They are ending the Shop Inventory Format so the only fixed price listing format available for sellers will be Buy It Now.
You are still able to have a shop in one of three categories, Basic, Featured or Anchor. There are significant monthly price increases for each category of shop-Basic £14.99- Featured £49.99- Anchor £349.99- but the incentives are massive reductions in listing fees for each category ranging from 20p per listing (10p in the Media category)for the Basic shop, 5p per listing for the Featured shop and 1p per listing in the Anchor shop! Also, the best part of the new changes for me is that any listings that you have in your shop will have full visibility in the main search results!
I must admit, I was a little bit sceptical about the changes at first but having thought about the incentives and made a few quick calculations, the new shop subscriptions will suit me down to the ground!
