Eyes

Today’s Tool Tuesday is all about eyes they are one of the most important tools we have in your eBay and online business. As an eBay consultant we are often asked what tools do we need to run our eBay business, and we will often give them the normal list Computer, internet etc, but then we say things like eyes. So why are our eyes so important to our online business.

Eyes And Our eBay Business

We can have all the latest gadgets known to man to help us run our eBay business, and we can have all the top brains in world helping is and while this is all good, at times we miss those small items in our lives that God gave us for a reason and one of these items are our eyes. every day we see many hundreds if not thousands of images pass our eyes and our brain takes notes and stores them in our storage system called our brain. But how can we turn that into making money?

Well when we are out and about either at work or out with family and friends take time to look around you and see what products and services there are. If you had the time and I do encourage you to take some time and do this and make notes at the end of the time period you will be shocked at what you will find.

All around us are product ideas for us to look into. The types and styles of clothing we see people wearing, the colours they use, gadgets they use and how they use their gadgets. Books people read, the many thousands of magazines that are printed every week – each one of those magazines contain hundreds of product ideas and sources. I could go on and on with examples, but let me challenge you.

This week go out and use your eyes and see how many product ideas you can find by just taking the time and look around you.

eBay Money Saving Tips – 2

 

Todays money saving for helping you save money on eBay is looking at how and where you list your items on eBay.

Now many of us often list an item we are selling in two categories while at times there maybe an need for this and hands up, I have and do list in two at times. But what I would like you to do is to sit down and think do I need to do this to make sales or am I doing it because everyone else is doing it.

Take time out and do some online research in your niche, are other powersellers in your niche using the one product two categories approach. If they are then you may need it for your niche.

A good way to test is to run two auctions one with two categories and one with just the one and see your results.

Now I am going to say at times you may sell a product where you have just one of them and this product crosses over into two areas then if this happens use the two categories.

Happy eBaying and let me know your thoughts

As an eBay Education Specialist one of the top questions that I am asked is “How can I reduce the fees I am paying” I normally answer them the fees that they pay are already cheap………… You should try owning a brick and mortor store.

So I have decided to do some short articles outlining some quick ways you can save money on your ebay listing fees, and by the time this series has finished I hope you will do, and believe me it will both suprise you and help your business go to the next level.

Now I am going to be honest here, unless you understand where your money is being spent in your eBay business you will never have a large successful and profitable business nor will you be able to make savings. For how can you make savings when you do not know what you are already spending?

eBay bless them have once again been ten steps ahead of us and have things in place to help us. If you go along to your seller account, and select your latest eBay invoice and save it to an excel type program.(Excel or Google Spreadsheets or any of the free ones out there Once it has been saved you will then need to sort it via the 4th column (The fourth Column is the fee type.) by sorting by this column you will see straight away what you are spending and if you are over or even under spending.  For example If you are spending extra on a bold listing you need to ask yourself, do I really need these listings? Or if you are not spending anything or very little on lets say featured listing and your niche needs featured listing you need to sit down and work on it.

As Education Specialists we can help you and give you advice, but only you know your business and what works in your business. And only you know your business stats.

Well thats it for today, look out for some money saving tips.
