Learn To Sell On Ebay Using Keywords

So often people that want to learn to sell on ebay overlook the importance of using keywords in your items title and description.

How do most people find the items they are looking for on ebay? Simple answer, they use the sites search engine. They simply type in a keyword and a list of items pop up matching that keyword.

To make your item pop up consider what to put in your title carefully and then make sure a keyword you think people may type is present in the title.

For example if someone that was looking to buy a seven seater car but didn't know much about cars so didn't know the names of them they would type something like "7 seater car" in the search engine. Now you may be selling a seven seater car but unless it is in your title it won't show.

Here's another example. Say a mother wants to buy her kid a video games console but she's forgot what it's called then the chances are she will opt for "video console","games machine" or similar and hope the name rings a bell. If all you have in your title is xbox 360 then even if it's what she's looking for your item isn't going to appear.

These are very basic examples but you should now get the picture. If you want to learn to sell on ebay then you need to learn to put keywords in your titles and if you can in the description too.

One final word on the use of keywords is to make sure that you double check your title for spellings as just one wrong letter could cost you a sale ( unless it is a word people often spell incorrectly in which case it can be a blessing ). Hopefully you will use this advice and learn to sell on ebay using keywords.

Make Easy Money On Ebay - The Focused Method

To begin with the sell everything approach ( see here) isn't that bad. It can help you define your researching skills whilst also developing your selling skills and making you a profit. However if you really want to make easy money on ebay then you will eventually gain a great deal from moving on to the focused method.

This method of selling on ebay is where all the top sellers make their money. They focus on one particular type of product and then focus solely on these types of product. Some will even go a step further and specialize in one area of a certain product. A quick example of this is instead of someone selling video games they will sell video games for only one console like the xbox 360.

When doing research for what you should focus on selling to make easy money on ebay you will find that it is smaller items which will be of higher profit and therefore best to promote. Heavy and more costly items costs more to deliver and more effort to sell.

The best products tend to be lighter items such as cd's, dvd's, information, software and the best of all ebooks ( no delivery costs, extremely high profits ), which if you can go on to produce your own is where you will really make a killing. There is a great ebook on this topic that give step by step instructions on how to sell ebooks on ebay, take a look for yourself here.

Anyone can make easy money on ebay but if you really want to make a killing and become a huge success then the focused method is where you can really make this happen for you.

Make Easy Money On Ebay Tip 4 - The Best Items To Sell

Basically with good research you should be able to discover for yourself the best types of product to sell and thus the ones which will help you make easy money on ebay.

However to get you started here are a few things that you should note.
  • Use Dropshipping Wholesalers -Dropshipping wholesalers are wholesalers where you buy your items from but then instaed of delivering them to you they will deliver them directly to your customer, meaning you never deal with the physical stock.
  • Downloadable content - Items like ebooks are great because there are no delivery costs and your customer has instant access. Also if you create your own the profit margins are extremely high.
Dropshipping does have the slight risks of finding dropshippers that are legitimate and reliable. If you use an unreliable dropshipper and they make late deliveries it will reflect on you and your feedback not the dropshippers thus denting you reputation, and without gaining a good reputation you will find it hard to make easy money on ebay.

A very popular source many powersellers use is a wholesale directory site called Salehoo, they do charge a membership fee but in return provide a great list of wholesalers that are risk free. If you'd like to find out more about Salehoo click here.

As I said ebooks are the most profitable item you can sell on ebay but there is plenty of competition so if you are going down this route there is a guide available that will give you an advantage over most which you can checkout here. Once you've learned the best ways of selling ebooks I would thoroughly recommend you start to create your own to really maximise your profits.

These are the best two ways to make easy money on ebay and with a little research added in to help find the best items from these resources it is only a matter of time before you start making huge profits.

Make Easy Money On Ebay Tip 1 - Research, Research, Research!

Can you make easy money on ebay selling anything? Yes. Will you make a lot of easy money selling anything? No.If you want to make a great income using ebay then it pays to do some research first.

There is no point in buying something to sell unless you know the following
  • Is There A Market For The Item
  • How Good Will It Sell
  • Can I Buy At A Low Price
  • Can I Sell At A High Price
  • Will I Make A Profit
The points above aren't rocket science, in fact they are all very simple, but because many fail to do such research on the products they wish to sell they usually fail to make a profit. If you do your research before deciding a product to sell you will already have an advantage over 75% of people selling products on ebay.

All the above is fairly simple stuff to research as well so there is no reason you can't do it. Use Ebay Seller Central and Ebay Pulse to see which products are currently hot selling items then look into what prices they are selling for, if you can obtain that item for a fraction of the price then your on to a winner.

It is so simple to do a little research and it can make all the difference in terms of how much money you can make. Yet because people fail to do it they also fail to make easy money on ebay so do not underestimate the power of research.

Why People Fail To Make Easy Money On Ebay

If it's so easy to make easy money on ebay why then do so many seem to fail? I think the real question is do they fail or do they give up?

The fact of the matter is that most people that attempt to run their own online business fail because they follow this pattern.
  1. Try
  2. Meet a problem or turbulence
  3. Give up
Trust me I've met plenty of people on forums all over the internet that have done exactly this. Yet if they'd just put in a little effort to try and solve the problem, learn from it and move on they would probably by now be running a successful home business.

This isn't just some get rich quick scheme, it is a real life genuine opportunity to make a living from the comfort of your own home. Yes there are many that use ebay as more of an hobby but if you put in the time, effort and dare I say a little passion then it can be a fully fledged home business.

Anyone that puts their mind to it can make easy money on ebay and they will be safe in the knowledge that as long as the internet still exist ( which is forever !) then so will the opportunity. There will always be people looking to buy things and there will always be those who cash in on peoples wants and needs by selling, so you may as well be one of them.

If your looking for a get rich quick opportunity then the truth is you may as well chase pots of gold at the end of a rainbow but if you want to start your own business which you can run from the comfort of your own home and which, if you put in the effort and are willing to learn, can make you a hell of a lot of money then this is the best opportunity you will find. You really can make easy money on ebay but only if you have the drive, positive mind frame and determination to make it happen.

You Can Make Easy Money On Ebay - But Is It For You?

No doubt you've heard that you can make easy money on ebay but is the opportunity right for everyone? Here are a few of the benefits that may help you decide.

  • Work from the comfort of your own home - No more slogging your guts out for an ungrateful company, no more annoying work colleagues, no more fighting your way through traffic going back and forth between home and your place of work.
  • Work what hours you want - If you want to stay in bed until 12 pm then you can, if you want to go to bed at 8pm then you can, if you want to work through the night and go to bed at 7am you can. As long as you get the work done it doesn't matter when you do it.
  • Low startup cost and overheads - You can get started on virtually any budget and still succeed.
To be honest the list could be far greater but these are the main points and the ones that everyone can see the benefits from.

It may seem hard to start with but if your willing to learn then anyone really can be a success and make easy money on ebay

Why Do People Fail

People don't fail, they give up and there is a huge difference between the two. If you meet a setback but learn from it and carry on you will succeed but many don't do this, they simply meet a stumbling block and then call it a day. If you have the will to make this work then it will.

Any new career is hardest when you first begin, until you've learned the trade if you like, and starting a home business using ebay is no different. That said there are resources out there that will make this process easier and will help you to avoid a lot of the mistakes that can be made.

One great way to get started I found recently was to sell ebooks on ebay. I found a great little guide that fully explained how you can make some great income using a simple system and which actually went into great detail which would be easy for anyone to follow. Check it out for yourself here.

There are a lot of people out there that make easy money on ebay and there is no reason that you cannot achieve the same goals as long as you are willing to battle on when you meet any problems and learn from the experience.
