Selling Smart, Not Greedy
Selling products or services is where the real money is on the internet. Now I have given you places to find quality products and services in previous post. These previous post had to do with marketing someone else’s product as an affiliate. Now I want to get into marketing and selling products in general. On the main page of our website there is a section on wholesale dropshippers. This is where you sell a product and have a wholesaler ship the product directly to the customer. This type of money making system has been going on for years, but with eBay it really exploded.
EBay is the industry standard for goods. If your looking to buy a TV at a store, then you go to eBay to see what the average price for the same TV is there. Most sites have to compete with eBay’s low prices and if they don’t stay competitive then they are out of business.
What this does is give you a huge market place to sell goods. The problem is being able to have products that will actually sell and make you money. Many people spend their weeks going to flee markets and garage sales finding those products. The wholesale dropshipper is your resource for goods. This gives you the ability to sell quality items without warehousing them. These products can be put on any website or you can create a website of your own selling these products. Imagine having a website that sells TV’s without ever having to warehouse one TV.
Before we go further let me clue you in on some things. Prices will make or break you. You can not be greedy. You have to stay competitive because I promise that people will check your price against your competitor. Even if you are wholesaling TV’s on your own website, people will check other places before buying from you. If you can’t compete with other people’s prices then try to investigate where they are getting their product from. If you can’t find this out, then move onto another niche, because you won’t make any money unless you are competitive.
Another idea I am going to show you are digital products. We have added a new section to this site called the FREE ZONE. These are free digital products that can help you out and an example of what digital products are. 99% of these products came from this source HERE.
This idea is not new either, but most people don’t know where to get digital products to sell. The link above has hundreds of digital products that you can market on eBay or your own site. Some come with a pre-made site and sales letter that you can upload. If they come with this then you have a website and a product.
Now a lot of you are holding your breath thinking that eBay banned the sell of digital items back in March08. You are right, but you have to think outside the box. No you can no longer put a eBook, domains, websites, software, and so, on a regular eBay auction. EBay wants you to put these products on their classifieds section, which will cost you almost $10 the last time I looked. There is no way to make money doing it this way. What you can do is sell the eBooks as regular books. Meaning you print the eBook out and ship it. Or for eBooks and software you can auction the hardcopy book, or software cd you burned for shipment, but include your website where the customer has the option to download it instantly. By using this method, you will probably make even more sales from customers going to your website, per auction and pay less to eBay. The site with the digital products I gave you above, also has many products that are audio or video, where you just copy them to dvd, or cd and ship them after a sale. Make sure you watch your shipping. This can eat you alive. Offer shipping only in the country you live, and tell others that live outside your country to go to your website for instant download. If you don’t have a website, you really need to set one up. I haven’t done this, but I am pretty sure you can set all this up through a Squidoo page. Read my article about Squidoo on this blog for more information about this wonderful free site.
If you are going to sell digital products on eBay, then don’t be greedy also. No one is going to buy an eBook “converted to paper back by you” about golf for $30. If you are going to make money at this, volume is the way to go. If you try to sell an eBook about golf for $30, you might get 1 sale running this eBook in 25 auctions. If you sell the eBook for $3, then you will probably make 5 sales for 5 auctions. Think about the math with just this one eBook. Example: You make 5 auctions for this eBook for one day all at different times. Let’s say you only sell 4 of the 5 and you set the price at $3. That is $12 a day and around $360 a month for one eBook on eBay. Think if you had 5 eBooks and running 5 auctions a day on each book. That is around $1800 a month, minus of course the eBay fees. Like I said though, if you offer them an option to download instant from a website or Squidoo page you set up, your sales could be even higher. You could run 5 auctions a day per book, on 5 eBooks “converted” with option of instant download and end up making 15 sales an auction! Now your eyes are starting to open. Now like I said the site above has hundreds of eBooks in all different niches, not to mention software and graphic products. There is a ton of digital products and the owner updates this site with new stuff all the time. They are all gained legally, the site owner goes around and buys these products. Most of the big hyped up sales letters you read on the internet are people selling these products. Yes I am probably in trouble for letting this secret out, but my goal is for you to make money!
So let us recap. You now have a source on the main page for a wholesale dropshipper. This gives you access to a ton of products to sell on eBay or a website with markup, to make money. You now have access to a big digital products site. This gives you huge access to tons of eBooks, software, and graphic products, website templates, and more that you can sell on eBay or a website. You know how to get around the eBay ban on digital products and how this can make you even more sales. You understand that to make money you must not be greedy and that volume is the key. You understand you must research your competitors, buy looking around at eBay, Amazon, or other websites. You understand the math of selling an eBook for $3 instead of $30 and with the volume of sales, you can make big money working at home.
