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:

I must admit, I made the cardinal sin of neglecting my blog, my friends, my subscribers, hell, the whole of my Internet business and it’s taught me a huge lesson……..

I have an offline cleaning business which literally just took off. Why?

I started focusing all of my efforts trying to make it a success and in turn started to give my clients the service they deserve and now expect. The problem is, I completely neglected my online business in doing so which was a huge mistake. I even got my eBay store closed down through bad customer service.

What’s The Lesson Learned?

Whether you’ve got an online or offline business, treat it as a business and in turn provide great customer service and value to your client.

This Is What I should Have Done!

1. First all explain to my readers and subscribers what was going on in my offline world. If you be yourself people will understand.

2. Diarise to do a blog post every Sunday or every month (time management). They wouldn’t need to be long blog posts just a little something informative.

3. Keep in touch and keep commenting on blogs that you like to read and share a common interest with.

4. Treat each reader or subscriber like a human being and not just a number or email on a subscriber list.

I’m happy to say that I have a team in place offline now and can now concentrate on providing real value to my subscribers again.

So, if I’ve got any advice to give, when times get hectic offline (the real world) or you’re going through a real rough patch. Try to stay in touch with your readers/subscribers by posting a blog post (if you have blog) about what’s going on. You don’t need to tell them the nitty gritty, just a simple breakdown and they’ll appreciate you for it.

Most importantly BE YOURSELF (sorry to shout . We’re fast becoming used to all the hype, product launch after product launch, and dodgy review after dodgy review. Be yourself and your readers will respect you for it.

Changes I’m Planning On Making!

1. Checking my email twice a day with reference to The 4-Hour work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich. How many times do you check your email, only to find that you’re still making it nice and neat and replying for well over an hour.

2. Treating Internet marketing LIKE A BUSINESS. This means I plan to diariase, set up targets and work on 1 or 2 projects at a time MAX!

3. Use the Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat approach. The best book I ever purchased. So many of us analyse the hell out of things. Most entrepreneurs/successful business people get idea and make it happen.

4. Start helping more people and giving real value.

Anyone else made these types of mistakes?

DesDrec.
