Make a Fortune Selling Info Products on eBay!

What is one of the most consistent problems facing eBay sellers today?

In a phrase:
Many of them have no idea what to sell.

If you are one of these people, it's time to take advantage of the proven methods that eBayers like myself and others have been making money off of for years. This article will tell you about INFO products and why they are an easy and efficient way to make a quick profit on eBay. It's true that eBay no longer allows for info products to be delivered electronically. However, you can still make a considerable amount be selling info products on eBay if you package them on CD or DVD!

What's so Great about Selling
Info Products on eBay?

I can give you four undeniable answers to this question:

1. No Need for Inventory.
Information products are intangible and therefore do not need to be stored up in large masses. All you have to do when you make a sale is burn a copy of the eBook or instructional video that you are selling and ship it off! You can even get a third party company to take care of all the production and shipping for you if you'd like for a small fee.

2. Start-Up Costs are Negligible.
It is no exaggeration to say that you can start an info product business on eBay for as little as fifty quid or less. You will create the product yourself and so you won't need to worry about dealing with a wholesaler.

3. You Don't Need to Be a Writer.
Believe me, you DON'T need to be a professional writer to create an eBook. All you need is an idea and you can pay a freelance writer to put it into words. This will cost relatively little in comparison to usual startup costs.

4. Sell it Over and Over Again!
Once you've made your product you can keep selling it again and again. You could even continue making a profit off of a single product for years!

Getting Started.

Sounds good right? But you're probably wondering just what you need to do in order to create a successful info product. The following tips will tell you all you need to know about how to start selling info products on eBay:

Choose a Topic that People Can Relate To.
If you can give people information about something that REALLY interests them, they won't think twice about paying money for it. It just has to be practical and relevant. For example: titles such as An Idiot's Guide to Weight Loss or Turn a Hobby into Cash: Photography for Money are in the in type of format that you want to emulate.

Use Quality, Original Content
Your content must offer something unique; this is what makes it a valuable asset to the customer. If you are having trouble coming up with ideas you should find it fairly easy to hire a freelance writer for a small fee. As long as your content addresses a common problem or issue, you are likely to succeed.

Use Video
It cannot be denied. We live in a video saturated culture. Using video as a medium to convey your message will grab people's attention more quickly.

Use a Flashy Cover Design
Don't mail a bland looking CD-R. Use a 3D cover design to make your product more professional.

Don't Overcharge
Generally speaking, between 4.95 and 14.95 GBP is a fair price for an info product. But whatever you charge, make sure that you deliver on content. The more content you deliver the more likely that the customer will feel that they are getting a good deal.

Listing Description
When you list your product, concentrate on benefits rather than features. This will produce a more immediate effect in the customer's mind.

100% Guarantee
Provide a money back guarantee and you will not be disappointed by the increase in sales. This instills confidence in the customer and makes them feel assured that you are offering them a quality product.

Now that you have been empowered by the INFO in this article, its time to get started with your INFO business. You will realize quickly how easy and profitable selling info products on eBay can be!

Fall 08 and Beyond: Learn How to Survive on eBay after September 25th

Change is inevitable, but failure is not!

eBay is planning on making some significant changes to its format on several levels beginning on September 25th. As eBay sellers there is really nothing we can do to prevent these changes. However, if we stay alert and adapt there's no reason why we can't benefit from the new structure!

Here's a quick rundown of the significant changes:

1.eBay Shop Fees are Going Up.
Fee increases, like taxes, are seldom popular. However in this case, the fee increase comes with added benefits. Namely, if you have a high level eBay shop such as a Featured Shop or and Anchor Shop your insertion fees will now be heavily discounted!

2.Insertion Fees are Going Down.
eBay wouldn't just increase our fees and leave us hanging. In order to compensate for the increased shop fees, insertion fees will now be lower than ever. And the higher the level of your shop plan the lower your insertion fees will be. For Anchor shops, insertion fees will now be only 1p per listing! Basically, this means that the more you sell the more you can save on listing fees.

3.No More Gallery Picture Fee!
This is a small change, but one that you should definitely take advantage of. Now that gallery images are free you really have no excuse not to use them. They never fail to increase your traffic levels and thereby your sales margin as well.

4.The New Search Results Schema.
This may be the single most important change facing eBay sellers in 2008 and beyond. You are unlikely to survive on eBay after September 25th if you don't understand this change. For the longest time search results on eBay have been organized solely by virtue of their ending time, that is, the listings ending soonest have been shown first.

Not any more! Starting on the 25th eBay is going to implement a newer, smarter system that is more results oriented. This means that listings will be sorted in search results mainly by factors of RELEVANCE. The new system is called the “Best Match” algorithm and is based on factors as diverse as listing title, shipping cost, conversion rates (that is, the percentage of people visiting your listing that actually buy your products), and more.

How to Deal with the Changes

The general trend of these changes is a move towards making eBay more friendly for both buyers and sellers who have large volume and professional looking listings. Now that the “Best Match” algorithm is being put into place you will need to have professional looking listings and superior customer service in order to stay competitive. This means that you will need to pay more attention than ever to the way you conduct your self as an eBay seller.

But heres the good news: many sellers are still unaware of the overall impact of these changes and will not be prepared for the implications of the new system. Hence, if you prepare yourself in advance you will have a significant advantage over the competition and will have no problem surviving on eBay after September 25th.
