The Newbie's Guide to Profiting Online: Part 4
What to Sell Online
Selling Physical Products
Entering the world of online sales can be as simple as starting with physical products. A great way to begin is by decluttering your home and selling items you no longer need on auction sites like eBay.
Almost anything can fetch a good price on eBay. However, ensure you have an actual product to sell. Selling "nothing" as a joke might seem clever, but it can break the rules and get you banned from the platform.
When listing physical products, it's crucial to provide accurate descriptions. If an item has any defects, be transparent about them. Honest listings build trust and won't hurt your chances of making a sale. Also, be sure to account for shipping costs when setting your price. eBay allows you to add these expenses, but keep them reasonable to avoid deterring buyers. Overinflated shipping charges can not only scare potential customers away but also leave you with the unsold item and listing fees.
You can also transform digital products into physical ones by burning them onto a CD. eBay encourages selling information products this way, although detailed steps are beyond the scope of this guide. However, resources like "How to Sell Information Products on eBay" and "eBay Dropship Profits" can provide further insights.
Identifying Your Audience
Knowing your target audience is as important as deciding what to sell. Consider the item you're offering: What is it? Who would want it? Understanding your potential customer base helps you tailor your marketing strategies for a better response. Being knowledgeable about your product is essential when addressing customer inquiries.
High-traffic platforms like eBay already host numerous interested buyers. Optimize your listings with relevant keywords. For example, if you're selling a Dracula DVD, use a title like "Classic Dracula Horror DVD" to attract those searching for those specific terms. Honesty in your listings is key.
Another effective way to reach potential customers is through mailing lists or newsletters. These can be easy to set up and manage. If you choose to notify past customers about new products, ensure they consent to receive these communications. Without permission, it’s considered spam. Approach customers positively to ask if they'd like updates, and many will say yes if they're satisfied with your service.
Building a mailing list can also be achieved through website sign-ups, pop-ups, joint ventures, or offering free products for subscriptions. Resources like "Mailing List Profits" and "List Building Launch Pad" can guide you in this endeavor.
Remember, previous customers often become repeat buyers. That’s your goal!
Driving Traffic to Your Online Store
Attracting visitors to your online store, even if it's a free site, is crucial. Utilize banner advertisements or ad boxes from companies like Google to showcase your products. While this might not generate instant profits, it can lead to a steady income stream over time.
As we approach the final stages of setting up your online business, focus on these strategies to kickstart your sales journey effectively.
