sharing information that most marketers wouldn’t
even dare tell anyone and the few who do,
charge an arm and a leg for it!
Jim Cockrum’s eBay ‘stunt’ auction has ended with a final value of $36600! That’s right $36600 for a non physical, all profit item with a starting price of $1! Genius is the only word I can think of to describe this marketing feat!
The auction, the most watched auction on ebay during the ten day listing period, received over 8,000 visitor’s to the auction page and 75 bids! Unfortunately the winning bidder didn’t fulfill their obligations so the auction went to the second highest bidder.
This just proves to me that Jim’s reputation as an eBay expert and internet marketer is second to none and I’m sure that the winning bidder will multiply his investment ten fold.

I’ve just received an email from eBay Entrepreneur Jim Cockrum, containing a link to his latest blog post entitled ‘My next ebay “stunt”’. Jim’s latest ‘stunt’ is an eBay auction offering the lucky auction winner a chance to work with him, one on one, creating an ebook together. The winner will be recognized as the author of the ebook but Jim will pick the topic and do the “work”!
Marketing Masterclass is the latest product release from John Thornhill (Planetsms).
Have you ever wondered how all the big names in Internet Marketing get lots and lots of web site traffic to their web pages and products? I’ll tell you this, the traffic does not appear as if by ‘magic’ at their websites, they have to be ‘guided’ there.
Of course you can but ignoring the world’s largest marketplace would be a mistake if you want to put your products in front of millions of visitors every day, visitors looking for information of all types. The advantages of selling information products on eBay are attractive to both sellers and buyers for different reasons. Sellers have the luxury of targeted traffic, pinpointed at and looking for, their products. Buyers have an endless list of targeted products to choose from, based on their keyword searches. It’s a win win situation!
The first hurdle you face, if you are going to sell your products on eBay, is selecting which category you will be selling under, or which niche to target. The eBay home page has a long category list to focus both buyers and sellers to make it easier for everyone to find what they are looking for.
As an eBay seller, you have to select the keywords buyers are most likely to use when searching for the products you are trying to sell and then list your products in the correct category. If you didn’t write the information product you are listing for sale, for instance, if the product creator has given you resell rights, don’t make the mistake of just picking a category and listing it there without reading it first.
There are good reasons for this. First of all, you need to be able to answer questions if your potential buyers ask you for any clarification. Secondly, buyers looking for your products will not find them if they are in the wrong category. Also, buyers expecting a Cd-Rom information product, on a specific subject, will be asking for their money back if your products are not listed in the correct category. You need to read or use and get to know what you are selling and you will stay out of trouble with your customers and eBay.
You may like to consider broadening your presence on eBay by opening a store in addition to your auction and buy it now listings. If you have an eBay store, you can take advantage of good discounts on all your auctions and run them longer than the normal 10 days. After your auctions are over, or someone uses the “Buy Now” button to purchase, you can attempt to increase your upsells by sending them to a your eBay store to check out your other products.
Sales pages on eBay have to be as well-designed and professional looking as any other webpage online. You should include colorful, clear pictures of your products to make them stand out from the crowd of listings for products similar to yours. Your sales description copy has to be well-written and feature the benefits your customers will receive when they buy the product.
A strong call to action that makes your customers bid or buy right now should be included. Make sure the bonuses you are giving your buyers are related to your products, this will add value to the items that you want them to buy.
You can add interest and appeal to your auction by paying a premium price and getting included on eBay’s featured listing option. Listing upgrades will allow the use of graphics and icons to draw the browser’s eye to your products and increase the clicks on your page. The premium price you pay for these upgrades puts your auction in a prominent place on the search results page.
A few months ago, eBay changed its policy and no longer allowed the selling of products that could be downloaded, ebooks, reports, software, articles, videos, etc. This put a large dent in the immediate income most information sellers were enjoying.
What changed on eBay was the delivery process for the information product sale. Marketers could still sell their virtual products, but delivery had to be accomplished via offline services, like mail services. Marketers then started using Cd-Rom’s to send their products to their customers.
Marketing to your customer doesn’t end with the sale and delivery of your products. What you want is a loyal, returning customer who buys other products from you on a regular basis. Use thank you emails and consider sending them an occasional free report or PLR product once in a while just for being a customer.
If you are like many people trying to “make it” online, you have probably invested a lot of time and a hell of a lot of money trying to sell digital products.
You’ve tried, eBooks, software and other digitally downloadable items.
The problem is that, unless you’ve built up a mailing list, a big reputation or you’ve been willing to spend a lot of money advertising, you’ve probably found the competition fierce.
With the new eBay shop subscriptions coming up on 24th/25th September, I have decided to increase my inventory to around fifty Cd-Rom information products. At the moment, I have only ten products that I list every day but I plan to increase this because I will be signing up for the featured shop and the cost for each listing will only be five pence! So the more products I list, the more exposure my shop will get and I will, ultimately, gain more sales.
I have spent most of the day looking through the resale rights products that are gathering ‘digital dust’ on my hard drive. I’ve found eight information products, so far, that I will be listing in my new featured shop and approximately seven or eight reports that I can add as bonuses to complement the products that I list and hopefully tempt a few buyers!
I am only about half way through the information products on my hard drive as I’m looking for things that are fresh and unique to ebay, products that no one else is selling, that’s why it’s taking me so long!
Anyway I have to get back to it, I’ll let you know how I get on!
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!
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!
