Ask Mister Ebay

There are even ways to make your entire eBay business HANDS FREE. I literally mean you NEVER log in to eBay.

This makes “multiple streams” of income possible. I love setting up new streams of income while the other streams just keep flowing in.

Why is it important to understand the different approaches to eBay?

It’s important because there are many misconceptions and bad assumptions out there. Many of these misconceptions are even reinforced by eBay itself! You can get sucked into a full-time eBay JOB if you aren’t careful.

For example, I’ve met far too many “powersellers” that are selling many items on eBay every month, but they are working far too hard at it. You’ll see these same eBay sellers bragged about by eBay as “success stories”, but these sellers aren’t making the kind of money they should be making.

These “successful sellers” lack many of the simplest marketing tactics. If they are waiting on eBay to teach them these simple skills they will be waiting a long time! The fact is eBay has no incentive to ever teach them the true marketing power of eBay.

Most eBay sellers lack…
 o a back end sales funnel to sell higher profit items (on or OFF
    eBay)
 o a customer list for repeat marketing (on or OFF eBay)
 o information products that provide a source of leads and high profit
    margins. Countless possibilities here.
 o an effective “about me” page to further market themselves to the
    massive traffic swarm on eBay
 o a big picture perspective of how much control eBay has over their
    financial future and what they can do to get control BACK.

One of the major goals of this newsletter is to change the way online entrepreneurs like you see the Internet and eBay. I want you to see the online world as a constant source of new income streams that can be automated and abandoned.

Treat your customers right and gain long term loyalty…on autopilot!

You can partner with powersellers on eBay to “back end” sell eBooks and other easily delivered products (products you write/create or products created by others).

Take advantage of the huge customer base and massive traffic exposure of the powerseller and split the profits you help them uncover. My estimate is that 95% of all powersellers on eBay have NO IDEA how to do this.

These partnerships can be tricky to establish and must be built on trust. You have to be sure not to violate eBay policy in the establishment of these partnerships (be careful how you approach other sellers to avoid being accused of spam).

…but when done right this is a VERY simple and powerful concept.

EXAMPLE: Many eBay sellers running a large number of auctions could be adding 50 or more new leads to their email list every day…but they have no idea how to do it or why they even should.

Let’s step through one example:
 o Powersellers get a lot of traffic to their auctions
 o Most powersellers do NO “back-end” marketing
 o A simple aweber.com name and email capture form on their about
   me page would yield great results
 o There are many ebooks to be found that would make GREAT up-
   sells and back-end sales for the eBay customers that join the
   mailing list
 o You could easily sell a product found on clickbank.com and share
   the profits with your eBay powerseller partner

Another possibility:

You MAY NOT send an email to your eBay customers with the sole intent of inviting them to join your mailing list.

You CAN invite your customers to join your mailing list using your “About Me” page.

You CAN invite customers to join your mailing list as part of any email follow up message you send them (don’t make the invitation the main point of the email).

The vast majority of eBay powersellers would be delighted to be able to take back some of the control of their business from eBay. As a reader of this newsletter you hold the keys to helping them do that.

As a reminder these kinds of ideas are what we are all about at MySilentTeam.com and it’s the kind of thing that my book (Silent Sales Machine) is full of.

Stay creative!

If so there is a fantastic source of eBay inventory that I want to tell you about…

…but it’s so good that I’m a bit hesitant to share my strategy with EVERYONE on this mailing list. Anyone in ANY U.S. city can use this resource, but if you live near any of the above mentioned cities you have a bit of an advantage on getting some great inventory to sell on eBay!

Take a test drive!

What does *full access mean?

The only benefit you DON’T get with a $5 trial membership is access to the bonus pool where I’ve crammed over $1 thousand worth of items that you simply won’t find free anywhere else. Only full members get access to that.

With the $5 trial membership there isn’t an automatic renewal, it’s $5.00 period.
