You’ve signed up, created a seller account and sold all your old junk and everything in the house that is not screwed down.
It’s now time to take your Ebay business to the next level…you need to source a steady stream of stuff to sell.
You may have bought all the Ebay courses and books which tell you the same things “Your listings need great titles”, “Build positive feedback” “Your listings need great photographs” etc etc . Unfortunately the one thing these books do not tell you is what to sell and more importantly where to source it…or if they do it’s a list of wholesales who may or not still be in business
If you decide the wholesale route seems the best way to go, a quick check on Ebay will show hundreds of items for sale which were obviously purchased wholesale by the sellers.
This is where it gets difficult.
Digging a little deeper and doing a little research, you will find Ebay Powersellers selling the items you are interested in cheaper than you can buy them wholesale…sometimes a lot cheaper!
But there is one product that is always in high demand on Ebay that you can source for pennies and sometimes even for free.
That product is information!
Information products in high demand on Ebay include Ebooks, software, web templates and private label rights items.
Here you have a product you buy just once; write an Ebay listing and put it up on auction and then it continues to sell week after week, month after month, year after year. You never have to restock the product, never have to worry about your wholesaler going out of business or letting you down.
Information is one of the most popular and profitable items both on and off Ebay
The information product the remainder of this article discusses is Ebooks.
An Ebook is an electronic version of a book or document, which can either be downloaded immediately as an Exe or PDF file, or sent physically on CD ROM.
Many people incorrectly think that Ebooks are “cheap and nasty” because many different people are offering similar books with similar titles and content at very low prices.
Whilst this may be the case in some instances, there are dozens if not hundreds of good quality Ebooks with valuable content available with resell rights, meaning they can be resold.
If you want to learn how to play the guitar, learn a new language, or how to fly fish, loose weight, lower cholesterol, stop smoking, create a wonderful meal, start your own Ebay business, there is an Ebook for you.
These books are not just a couple of pages of recycled content – some of these books contain around 200 pages of good helpful information.
Although you can simply resell these books using the same title and contents, by spending a little time repackaging them and adding something unique to the package, it is possible to achieve greater sales at higher prices than those lazy sellers who simply re-list the books using the sales materials, websites etc provided with the book.
Done properly, selling Ebooks on Ebay can be one of the quickest and cost effective methods of obtaining Powerseller Status.
Ebay recently introduced a rule banning the sale of digital products including Ebooks for digital download, meaning all Ebooks must now be delivered as a physical product, usually on CD ROM.
For the professional Ebook seller this can only be considered good news as we can use the CD ROM to simply promote our other Ebooks, products and affiliate links.
With everybody worried about job security and their dwindling pensions, this is truly a business for everyone
