eBay classified ads are something of a revelation. So many people just don’t get it. This form of marketing is so powerful I think eBay should charge more for it.

Here’s how the smart marketers use eBay classified ads.

1. The first thing you do is research a hungry market. The way to find out where a hungry market is is to take a look at eBay pulse. This will tell you what’s selling by rank. No need to reinvent the wheel here, simply sell what’s already selling and you can’t go wrong.

2. Once you’ve found an item that already selling, find out if there are range of affiliate products to promote in this category. I’m guessing there probably is since it’s a sellers marketplace. Don’t know what an affiliate product is. This is a high priced product that someone else has either written or designed and they’re willing to share the profits with you. Sometimes the share can be as much as 75% on some products.

3. Purchase that product and write your own version of that product but don’t give away ALL of the details. This is going to be a little taster for your client. Don’t worry, it’ll only need to be around 10 – 15 pages in length.

4. Get an ebook cover designed. This is easy, simply type into Google “ebook cover designed” and you’ll find lots of people willing to do this for a small fee.

5. Make sure you have affiliate links dotted throughout the eBook or even at the end. This will lead to back-end sales of our affiliate product. Here’s the process broken down:

Customer sees your classified ad for free information on a hungry market. They click on the link which could be an email address, telephone number or my favourite and opt-in form (where people ask for information by inserting their name and email address).

They sign up and receive your the ebook you’ve just written on the killer “I’ve got to get my credit card out” topic and receive their free ebook via email. Now your content still needs to be of sufficient quality, just don’t reveal all. What you’re hoping for is the client will like what you’ve published and want even more information. That’s where the affiliate links within the ebook come into play.

They click on one of those links for more information, purchase our back-end product. Everybody’s happy. They’ve received the information they wanted in the first place and you’ve made a commission from selling an affiliate product off the the back of your initial free ebook. Not a bad strategy eh?

An eBook has been written that explains this tactic and countless other tactics people haven’t even heard of:

As some of you have already found out, the Internet marketing niche is among the most competitive and lucrative niches on the Internet to date. It’s crazy, there’s actually an Internet Marketing product that launches just about every working week and since the demand is so high for these types of products there’s one simple method to make some fast income. From the title you’ve probably guessed what it is, “Writing Internet Marketing Product Reviews” for these products and promoting them as an affiliate marketer.

If you’re new to all this, you’re probably wondering just how you get started. Well, make a cup of tea or coffee, strap yourself in cause I’m gonna lay out 4 simple steps to get started.

First things first you need to visit a JV forum like JV Notify Pro, and let me just add a little caution before you run off and do this. To be honest this should have been the first thing you do but hey ho not to worry. Actually take part in some of the discussions and DON’T sign up for everything going. You need to become a trusted member of these types of communities before they’ll allow you to become a joint venture partner. In other words, add true value to other people’s posts and don’t make it spammy.

The second step is research.

Yeah I know, you’re rolling your eyes at this point and literally breaking down the door to get the hell out of here. But if you’re looking to make some money on the net you’re gonna have to partake in some WORK (that dirty little word). Trust me, all of things you’ve read about making easy money on the web and that you can press that secret button and watch dollars roll in. Forget it.

Once you’ve done a little research and by this I mean actually purchase the product (unless you’re given one, which generally happens when you’ve got a decent list) try the theories out and actually use it over a period of time. If there’s something you’re actually unclear about or if you need extra info, simply fire off an email to the product owner. You can also ask her if she’s got any other material you’re able to use to help promote the product.

Now you’ve got some kind of familiarity with the product make an extensive list of the benefits the buyer will get from the product. Now these will need to be specific good and bad points a buyer will get from using the product or using the information the product provides. This is essential. You’re probably scratching your head and wondering why you’d be mentioning bad points.

To give an honest review of a product you need to be exactly that, honest. People within the internet marketing community are gonna smell BS a mile away, so make sure it’s written from the heart and objective. If you’ve got the ability, put the strengths and weakness of the product in table form and get hold of some gif graphics, ticks and marks out of 5 type of thing. If you’ve got something visual this is definately gonna help.

The third step is to create a review outline.

By review outline I mean the structure of the entire review. This is the single most important thing for you to do. Get this right and there’s some dollars to be had. Important elements of your review are the review title, headline or first paragraph and the conclusion. The title’s meant to grab the reader by the throat and get their attention (similar to the preview of an action movie), they show you all the best bits, leave you with your mouth open in anticpation of what the film’s gonna be like..

The headline or first paragraph is a brief summary of the entire review and usually contains the what, why, and how of the product. It’s generally in the first paragraph that your reader decides to continue reading or not. Finally, the last paragraph is where you show your own conclusion, opinion of the product. Keep this real and non spammy.

The forth step is to actually write your review.

Now you’ve got everything in place this should be easy. You know the product back to front, you’ve got some extra info from the product creator, simply produce a title that grabs the attention. In real terms this should set the tone for the rest of the review and determines your readers’ expectations. The body of your review is where you need to provide specific details, i.e the pros and cons.

I almost forget and this is essential. Try to write a strong close. If there’s a free trial or a no brainer call to action then it doesn’t need to be so strong. If it doesn’t, then I reccomend making the close as strong as possible.

The conclusion would be your closing thoughts about the product and whether you recommend it or not. Believe it or not, the trick is to get the reader to try the product whether you think it’s a good or bad product. I reckon this is where a lot of people go wrong. You still need the reader to use call of action regardless. It is so important that your reader hits that link and goes to the sales page of the product. This is where they will ultimately make there decesion. Your work is done.

If you master the art of the honest review, your readers will take note and listen whether they agree with you or not. This is powerful!
