Most of the people who earn money from eBay don't actually make
all of that money on eBay. There are all sorts of ways you can
use eBay to give your existing home businesses a helping hand.
The Supply Side
If you have any leftover stock or used items from a home
business you run, then why not sell them on eBay? You can make
this a regular thing, using it to get rid of things that won't
sell for the premium you ask for them, or items that are no
longer in demand where your business is based.
You can really earn a lot of money this way, if you know what
you're doing. You will, of course, already be an expert in the
items you're selling, as you use them in your home business, and
you'll know that the items are of high enough quality to be
sellable. This is a whole new market for your old inventory!
Not only that, but remember your good eBay reputation will make
you a great buyer! If there's ever anything you want to get for
your home business, the chances are you'll be able to get it on
eBay for a discount.
The Sales Side
Here, though, is where the true power of eBay lies. eBay gives
you an 'About Me' page, where you can write anything you like
and link anywhere you like. This means that you can get traffic
to your home business website by linking to your website from
your About Me page and linking to your About Me page from each
auction.
To create an About Me page, just click on 'Community' on the
toolbar, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click 'Create an
About Me page'. You then get the option to either enter your own
HTML or let eBay guide you through the process. All you need to
do is write a little about your home business website, link to
it, and you're done - you'll notice that more people start to
come to your site straight away.
There are thousands of people who swear by this technique to
drive traffic from eBay to their home business website - with a
little persuasive sales copy on your site, they say, you can
sell directly to buyers, cutting out the eBay middleman. What's
more, all the traffic you'll get will be targeted - because the
people who click through were interested in your auction to
begin with.
This can be a really powerful technique, especially if you've
already got a home business site. Even if you haven't, you might
find it worth your time to set up a website that does nothing
but list your eBay inventory with a few dollars off each item,
with a PayPal 'Buy Now' button for each item. Then simply make
the link to your About Me page read 'Visit my home business
website for even more bargains!', and you're done.
Now that you've seen how to drive visitors to your home
business website, do not delay, set up your eBay account and
your home business website to start earning money today.
