Got Wholesale Suppliers?

July 2nd, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Hi All;

It is not well known, but thousands of Real manufacturers
will actually drop ship for you. (I’m not talking about the
ones you find on a Google search)

WorldWide Brands is not actually a wholesale supplier. They
offer a service called OneSource. OneSource is a listing of
real wholesale sources, that have all been contacted by
WorldWide Brands and reached an agreement to work with ebay
sellers and small internet businesses.

WorldWide Brands has a staff of people who do nothing by
research wholesale suppliers every day. Each of the
manufacturers has been contacted in person or by telephone
and agreed to drop ship for ebay sellers. Their employees
actually attend wholesale trade shows for all of the major
industries to find the companies that will work with you.

WorldWide Brands charges a fee for this information, but it
is well worth it. They are the only supplier of wholesale
information actually approved by ebay.

Chris Malta, the founder of WorldWide Brands runs his own
radio show and is also the product sourcing editor for ebay
Radio. Check out this F*ree product sourcing video course;

WorldWide Brands charges a one-time fee for lifetime access
to their database. there is a way to get this information
for free but it is frankly a lot of work. Go to
www.thomasnet.com. This is the home of The Thomas Register,
the largest data base of manufacturers in the US and
Canada.

You will see category listings on the home page –just
select one and start entering products you are looking for
into the search box. Hint –you will find most of the
products you are interested in, in the “Other” category. I
have found companies this way. Although it is free
–frankly it is a lot of work, and you don’t really know if
they are trustworthy. The small fee WorldWide Brands charges
to do all of this work for is well worth it, as ALL their
suppliers are pre - screened to help ‘the little guy’ avoid
getting scammed.

WorldWide Brands One Source gets my 5-Star Recommendation.

Have You Built A Niche Store Yet?

May 27th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

With gas prices getting crazy here in the US, I was looking for a way to supplement my ebay earnings, and NOT take an extra 40 hours a week.

I found the solution by building small websites that actually list ebay auctions within; and you gat paid a commission from ebay whenever anyone buys something (anything) from ebay after clicking thru a listing on Your Website.

Commissions are paid thru ebay’s new Partner Network, (EPN). I put together a couple of sites and the cash is starting to come in. It starts as a trickle, and gradually builds as you get more traffic to your site. Last Month (three weeks actually) my commission was a “whopping” $27.06 with a brand new domain that wasn’t even indexed, and had no links. (yet)

I built links gradually for the last Month, and I’m seeing more traffic daily. So far this Month, my commissions are at $38.51 from only 1 site! I have plans to build many more niche sites as it would be very easy to duplicate the process over and over. 10 sites x$38.51 = $385.10/Month;  20 sites x $38.51 = $770.20, and so on…

Here’s one of my sites that I built in about 5 hours. Used Golf Carts . This was the first one, they go up much quicker after the first.

The best thing is that once you set up the sites, you basically set and forget, except for  maybe an hour a week to build some links, or add some content. This software makes it very easy, and there’s some great video tutorials inside the member blog that go thru EVERY aspect with step by step videos.

The software I used to create these sites costs about as much as a fillup (One Time) and you can create Unlimited Websites an any Niche you want.

Check out the software here  and make some extra Gas Cash!

P.S.

Be sure to check out the reviews on the right side, there are many from more ‘long time’ users. The results only get better with the life of the site.

Switched to the eBay Partner Network Yet?

April 14th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

At first, I was a little concerned about ebay switching their Affiliate program (on April 1) from being hosted and tracked by Commission Junction; but now I’m pretty sure I have been getting screwed out of commissions.

I switched my blog, and a couple of websites to the new EPN links over the weekend, and ‘voila’ they’re getting clicks tracked! Wuith CJ, they were showing a fair bit of impressions, but very few clicks, and even fewer commissions. I have read in other blogs and forums that many other people have seen the same thing. Kind of makes you wonder how much commission they have been NOT paying out.

The EPN is very user friendly and they make it very easy to track what sites your clicks, and sales are coming from. This is important to see what sites need help, and also; what ones are really worth focusing more attention on.

For those of you who don’t know, the old CJ links will cease to work at the end of April, and in my opinion, the sooner you switch to the new ebay Partner Network, the better; no tellin’ how much commission cash you’ve been gyped out of also.

Here’s the link to their program:
http://www.ebaypartnernetwork.com
This really gets me wondering how many other programs that CJ isn’t tracking very well; or Paying on.

Anyway; just thought I would give you a heads up

Take Care;

Building Your eBay Powerseller Reputation

April 4th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

The absolute most critical element to the ebay selling experience is building your ebay powerseller reputation.  The basic component of the reputation system on ebay is user feedback.  For every ebay transaction, including auctions and “Buy it now” transactions, both parties involved in the deal will have an opportunity to assign a positive, neutral, or negative score to their transaction, as well as provide textual comments.  Here’s how ebay describes the feedback system on their website:

“Every ebay user has a feedback score based on ratings from other members. Feedback lets you reward ebay users and inform the community about your experiences with others. Typically, members give a positive rating if they are happy with a transaction and a negative when basic obligations have not been met. Keep in mind that what you say about other members becomes a permanent part of their ebay reputation.”

 In order to be successful in any capacity on ebay, whether you are buying or selling, it will be necessary to develop a positive powerseller reputation within the ebay community by embodying sound business practices and good customer relations.  Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

Keep clear and open channels of communication with your customers.  Make sure you answer questions from potential bidders in a timely manner and be particularly mindful to field any inquiries from auction winners.  Being quick to respond to perceived problems can mean the difference between a positive and a negative feedback which can and will be a direct influence on potential buyers out there.

Participate in as many transactions as possible.  Besides your feedback ratio, potential buyers will also give some scrutiny to the sheer volume of business you do.  If given the choice of doing business with two individual sellers, and one of those sellers has a tried and true reputation with thousands of transactions, the buyer is most likely going to go with the seller that has the most experience.  That seller should be you.
Be open and honest.  Being the most communicative powerseller on ebay is no good if you are being misleading or dishonest with your customers.  It is imperative that you take every step possible to ensure that you’re being as honest as you can be with your clientele.  If you are selling an item that may have perceivable flaws, it is a good idea to make sure that that is clear in the item summary.  Be sure to be up front regarding your shipping costs and any other fees that may be incurred above and beyond the winning bid on the item. Never participate in questionable, sneaky practices such as profiting from shipping costs by padding the final shipping and handling price.  While trickery like that may make you a little extra in the short term, you will end up paying for it in negative feedback and/or bad word-of-mouth from dissatisfied customers.

How You Can Use Completed Auctions to Your Advantage

March 17th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

When it comes to improving your chances of making a sale on ebay, your first impulse may to be change the way that your ebay items are listed for sale.  For instance, it is often suggested that you upload detailed pictures of your items, provide detailed descriptions and such. While you will want to try doing so, you will also want to focus on the items that you are trying to sell.  Your problem, with making a profit on ebay, might be the items that you have listed.  If you have a poor quality item, you may not be able to sell it, but you would still be responsible for paying your ebay fees.  In this case, you will not only be unable to make a profit, but you may also end up losing money.

When it comes to knowing which items you can profit from selling on ebay, there are many sellers who think that it is impossible to do.  While it may seem impossible, it isn’t. 

Before actually trying to list a particular item for sale online, like an old music CD, you can check to see if that item has been sold on ebay before.  If that particular item was sold before, you can also figure out exactly how much money it sold for!  This will give you a good idea as to whether or not it would be worth it for you to spend the time creating your auction listings and paying ebay’s fees.  Although the decision as to whether or not you still want to post your item for sale is yours to make, it may give you inside information; inside information that you will want to take into consideration when making your decision. 

 

To perform a search of completed auctions, you will want to perform an advanced search. The link to the advanced search form can be found by ebay’s traditional search box.  The only thing that you will to do differently is check the box labeled “Completed Listings Only.”  Your results will include auctions that meet your searching criteria, but they will be auctions that have already been completed.  If an item sold, its price will be outlined in green print. If an item did not sell, the asking price will be outlined, but in red print.  As previously stated, performing an ebay completed search gives you the ability to tell whether or not you have a good seller on your hands. 

In fact, you can not only use a completed listing search to determine if an item you already have is worth money, but you can also use this ebay tool to help you make money. 

If you are like many ebay sellers, there is a good chance that you are always on the lookout for great deals, bargains, or antiques.  Familiarizing yourself with popular ebay items, ones that can be considered “hot sellers,” is a great way to make yourself a profit on ebay.  Should you have the ability to do so, you may want to have a partner at home looking up ebay completed listings, while you are out shopping for items to sell at yard sales, flea markets, or thrift stores.

Performing an ebay completed listing search will only take a few minutes of your time.  Despite only taking a few minutes of your time, ebay completed searches can help you make money as an ebay seller, not lose it.
