Hey gents,

I have been reading on ebay marketing and am just about ready to take the plunge.

The niche I was going to look into was security cameras.

Plan:

1. Set up Ebay store
2. Populate it with my 3 choices in security cameras
3. Sell.

The question that I have - how do you drive traffic to your store? I know SEO for online ecommerce sites - but how does this work for an ebay store? thanks guys.

V/R,
Chris,

  • Grimbo,

    I hate to say it, but your 3 step plan isn't a plan. You've left out a LOT of steps.

    Some examples of things you've left out:

    "Leverage yourself into selling prices you've researched they'd sell for"
    "Finding the price and format for items"
    "Establishing a leverage for price negotiations"
    "Finding the eBay market worth for items minus deductions to find the profit margin"
    "Develop a brand funnel to convert items quickly"
    "List items utilizing the best practices to rank them higher"

    etc, etc, etc.


    It's a common misconception that you can just say: "Here's a price, now SELL!"

    You want to make sure you're doing it a specific way to be assured you're profitable, and you're negotiating a SPECIFIC profit if needed.

    Something I've been teaching for years.

    Thanks mate, but I was already aware that I needed help - hence why I posted. Is there any specific advice you can give?

    I know a little about this niche. Played with it a few years ago. Mainly IP cameras. Is this the type of camera your planning to sell? Or CCT type?

    There is a lot of competition out there for this product, but I think there are opportunities. Are you selling brand name cameras or lesser known brands? Send me a PM if you like.
