By now you know that eBay's classified ads are great for
filling your bank account with lovely cash, but as the
competition is heating up, it's time to get serious, so
here are three great tips for more profit-pulling ads:
1. Use bullet points in your description. People love
lists and would much rather read a list than a paragraph.
And the more likely your ad is read, the more sales that
you are probably going to make.
So, instead of writing a paragraph or two about why your
product is the greatest thing since the wheel was invented,
break the benefits into point form and create a list from
them. The shorter and more to the point they are the
better. People like to scan more than they like to read.
2. Make sure you tell the customer what to do next -
whether that is to send an email for more information,
click a link - whatever - just tell them what they need to
do.
And while we are on the topic, a big click here button is
sometimes not enough - you need to tell your potential
customer why they are clicking there. Here are some
examples: click here for more information, click here to
learn the secrets to weight loss, click here to send a man
to the moon ... you get the idea.
If there is no call to action in your ad, many eBay
customers will be left scratching their heads since there
isn't a traditional buy now or bid now button like there is
in regular auctions.
3. Think about what people WANT before you choose a product
to promote. It is no good choosing products just because
they sound cool, people must actually want the product
before they are willing to part with their hard earned
money.
So what sort of things do people want? Well I'll give you
some hints - people want to lose weight, they want to fall
in love, they want to make money. They probably don't care
much for an ebook on how to cook toast if you know what I
mean.
While listing a classified ad is much like listing a
regular eBay auction, because buyers are still getting used
to classified ads it's important to tell them exactly what
they need to do to buy from you. The easier you make the
transaction process, the easier the money will start to
flow your way.
