You have your eBooks listed on eBay and you're not making many sales. One of the reasons could be a poor auction title. Your auction title is crucial as this is what gets a potential customer to view the eBook that you are selling. You could be selling the best eBook ever written but if no one clicks on your auction title you won't sell a single copy.
Remember, on eBay you are competing with 1000s of other sellers, many selling the same or similar products so you need to make your auction stand out from the crowd and one of the most effective methods is through an eye catching title.
As most auctions are found through eBay's search facility ask yourself what keywords you would search for if you were looking for your own eBook. Write these keywords down and try to create a catchy title. Let's say we are selling an eBook on how to get perfect abs. What keywords do you think anyone seeking this sort of information would use?
Words like keep fit, lose weight, six pack, sit ups, muscle, body building, diet and healthy are all words we could use.
Which title appeals to you the most?
1. How to get perfect abs, eBook.
2. EBook. Sit up guide, lose weight.
3. The Secret to ROCK HARD ABS, get fit and lose weight.
I am hoping you have chosen number 3. If you did there will probably have been 3 words that attracted you to it. ROCK HARD ABS.
The reason you were drawn to these words is because they were capitalised, it's best to capitalise only a few words in your title, this helps them stand out. Also notice I have used words that should be searched for a lot, ?get fit' and ?lose weight' so anyone searching for those terms will see my title and you can guarantee they will want ROCK HARD ABS.
There are many other words you can use to draw visitors to click on your title such as:-
Amazing, fantastic, rare, best on eBay, mint, make money, resell, resale, superb, complete guide. There are many more. Try browsing eBay and looking at what words the big sellers use.
These words work best capitalised, but don't make the whole title capitalised as this won't draw visitors to your keywords. Also remember that you have 55 characters at your disposal when you create your auction title. Try to use them all.
On average a basic eBay eBook listing without any added selling features should be viewed at least 15 times. If your listing is not generating at least 15 hits the problem is with your title and you should consider changing it.
Hottest Selling Ebay Items
Best place to find products to sell on Ebay.
1. Garage Sales: This is one the most amazing place that you can get your goods from. You can get nearly anything if you look for them. You can usually bulk purchase at very cheap price. Tips: get there early to get good items.
2. Household Items: Research has shown that 75% of household items are used only once or never. You can just turn them into second-hand items and sell them on Ebay. Tips: make sure you polish them up first and take some decent photos to entice your buyers.
3. Ebay: Why? You can study the market and buy in the items that are well below the market price and resell them on Ebay. It can't be simpler than that. Tips: prepare to do some research to real understand the trend before you jump into any deals. Expect to run back and forth between your house and post office. A lot of human cycle time wasted if you want to do that yourself.
4. Drop-Shipper: Arguably the best option to take for professional sellers. My recommendation is only one: worldwidebrands.com. Tips: Don't trust other sources. You will have a good chance to be tricked if you listen to others. If you want to explore this option, it will be better if you approach them using a company name.
5. Ebay Wholesale: Go to Ebay and check out their Wholesale and Bulk Buy section. You can bulk buy items at a low price and sell them on Ebay. Tips: you need sufficient fund to do this and you need a room for storage purpose. You need to finish selling all items before its better version comes onto the market.
6. Local Shops: It is especially the case for Antiques and Collectables. Go to the shop owners who don't know how to sell on Ebay. Offer them your service and you get paid buy selling other people's items. Life can't be easier. Tips: Don't tell them exactly what you want to do. Your job is to find interesting buyers. You are not responsible to explain how you make money. Save you troubles.
