$1.95 For All The Tools You Need To Get Started
It’s true, I got started on eBay, like most marketers did. Shortly after buying my first affiliate marketing guide (TheRichJerk’s Guide To Making Money Online), the only traffic source I knew how to use was eBay because I had already sold quite a few of my own possessions on eBay in the past. So, I started direct linking from my eBay ads to my ClickBank affiliate links…It was great while it lasted, but then eBay made a new rule saying you have to sell physical only products. You could still sell them a physical version of an ebook if you put it on disk using a service like Kunaki though.
Anyhow, to recap what you need to do as stated in the above video, here it is in step by step fashion.
1.) Go to eBay Pulse
2.) Do an advanced search for the products you found on Pulse for completed listings in the last 30 days on eBay.com for that product.
3.) Once you’ve got a winner that’s selling like crazy for a good price, you need to find a place to source the products. Here’s a list of places you can try.
There’s plenty of them out there. Trust me.
Then it’s time to take it to the next level. Do the above research for as many products as you can within one certain vertical. Like electronics, or collectibles, or video games, fishing gear, etc…You name it.
After you’ve got a good list of products you can sell, with a list of suppliers you can use to get the products to sell on eBay, it’s time to open up an eBay store. Use a nice professional template for your listings and your store to look more professional.
Infiltrate eBay, and become the authority! If you sell 1 of each of your products every day you’ll be doing quite well very shortly. That’s it! I know it’s a little old school, but the whole prospect has me excited about going back to eBay in my spare time. I haven’t been marketing on eBay personally in a LONG time. But it’s only because I got more interested in main stream affiliate marketing, ppc, seo, etc…you know, the stuff we all know and love to do and get better at.
eBay has stayed STRONG though. People are still making healthy incomes with it, and the entire business model is contained in this post. That’s seriously all you’ve gotta do. Don’t be fooled by it’s simplicity. Use this system, and you’ll make money.
Remember, you can browse around the internet looking for the best eBay “starter kit” and get some really good deals for dirt cheap to help you get started. I’m sure those product owners who teach this stuff are a lot more educated and experienced on this topic than I am and can really give you the ins and the outs of how to scale your business out big time. In case you missed it above, here’s the link again to one such site I found that has a really good deal for a free starter kit for like $1.95 for shipping. They’ll try to upsell you for sure, but you don’t necessarily have to take them up on it. I haven’t reviewed their other stuff yet, so I’m not necessarily recommending it, but for $1.95, you’ll get some neat stuff to get you started doing this.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed this Old School Money post. I’m enjoying my time off so I thought I’d post something helpful for those of you scratching your heads as to what you should get started with. After all, it is Monday. Get to work!!!!
Talk to you soon

Thanks,

Posted on August 3rd, 2009 at 10:51 pmeBay has been a good market monitor for most marketers. Although, digital goods have been phased out, it opened up a new window. Because of this, your list now include physical addresses as you have to ship the product.
