Looking to get more exposure...HELP

Jan 27, 2009 8:40 AM
I have been doing ebay for just about two years and love it! Times are slow...but just about the same from when I started. I am desperately trying to get as much exposure as possible and add more product. I married in September so I took a long break away from ebay and I hope to increase my listings by double and of course in sales. I currently list through Auctiva, blog each item with key words, go to ebay & revise each listing by adding links of 'other items', 'favorites', and 'newsletters'. Doing it in auctiva puts it in the middle of my listing instead of the end, hence the revisions ~ lotsa work that way. Maybe I shouldn't care about middle or end ~ does it matter in a marketing strategy? Anyway, I've set up email mailers but funny...I have NO ONE to send them too! How can I get subscribers? How can I get more exposure? I have sales flyers and no one to fly them to! I just want to know how to get customers as repeat buyers and attract new customers. I do send a shipped notice with links attached. Any ideas for me please? Feel free to browse through my site and give me any advice on anything, I'm willing to learn more! Thanks soooooo much and God Bless!!! Judith

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this so if I make mistakes please correct me but with kindness.

I to have just started out and was reading some of the feedback to see if other sellers are having the same problems I'm having.

I agree with the seller about all the fee's and it looks like you are getting no where.

My question is: Michael you seem to take the time to help. I was wondering if you would look over my store and give me advice on how to make it better. I will take advice from anyone who will take the time to help me.

I try to list my items as if I was buying them. I have made some mistakes and I am trying to fix them.

I would definitely add Twitter to your marketing arsenal. It's free, easy to set up and you can automate it.

Any reason why subtitles are not good? Does anyone have a quick link to find the hot items list? I always have to dig and never remember where I found it! (early stage alzheimer's I always say!) I am doing the same as all u here-trying to do a better job and make more money since I am in a pinch and my husband just lost his second job. Thanks for any suggestions. Stephanie

So far I saw your listings, about me page and store page, no comment on it, as I feel that was terrific!

1) Listing simple and easy, let the dial up internet user feel comfortable.
2) Store Design and About Me page is creative and don't have of words. Same, I like simple and easy.

What I would suggested to get more exposure is study some SEO and create a blog/website in writing a story of your product (oh yes, every product have a story!), and then link it to your ebay.

More exposure?

Just wear less clothing.

Wow Michael is on top of things! He really gave out a lot of advice. I do my listings with Buy it now/Make an Offer an I have done better this way so far...but I don't have a store so I don't know how much better they are doing.

Good luck to everyone!

Maybe you should try different product lines, or work with dropshipping companies so you can sell first without stocking or shipping yourself. Find a few people who have lots of friends and ask them to spread the word about your items.
