Successfully Sell on eBay by Driving

Traffic to Your Auctions

It isn't difficult to sell on eBay, but to maximize your

earning potential you will need to drive as many visitors

to your auction as you possibly can. The more people

that view your item, the more bids you are likely to receive

and the higher the possibility of a bidding war, driving

your prices sky high. Although it can take time and effort

to get more page views on your auctions, there are

many small steps that you can take to help, that together

will generate a large effect.

- It is important to know what people are currently

searching for. Use eBay Pulse to find the most searched

for terms within your particular category and try to use

these keywords within your title if they are relevant. Don't

restrict your search to eBay though; you should also type

keywords into Google to see what sort of pages and

products are returned, and into other retail websites such

as Amazon. If your title contains the words that people are

actually searching for your page views will increase.

- To successfully sell on eBay you must take a good quality

picture of your item. When people are scanning through

lists of thousands of potential goods it will be a picture

that attracts them. If your pictures look professional,

potential buyers will see you as a professional and will

be more likely to purchase from you rather than your

competitors.

- Advertise your auctions wherever you can. If you have

an eBay store you could link to it from the signature in

your email account, or perhaps from a related website

that you might own. You could also visit forums that are

related to the area in which you are selling to advertise

your store. The more visits to your shop, the more people

will filter through into your actual auctions.

- Place a low starting bid on your auctions. If you start

the bidding at just a few pence you are likely to get the

attention of the bargain hunters. And what's more,

people will always look at auctions that have a high

number of bids to see what all the fuss is about.

- Use a page view counter to keep a track on how many

views your different auctions are getting. It's good to

keep a record of your auctions and their key details such

as final number of page views, the price the item was sold

for, the end time of the auction, the keywords you used

to target your audience and more. In a matter of weeks

you will have built up a priceless database of information

that will help you to know the best times, keywords and

starting bids to use to successfully sell on eBay.

The more views your auctions receive, the higher the price

for your items. Remember to take the time in creating your

auctions to advertise and promote your sales to see a

great return.
