How to Get Noticed on eBay

Building an eBay business is one thing, getting your products noticed by hundreds buyers is another.

Ultimately we want to build an eBay business that is low maintenance and high demand, we don’t want to create too much work for ourselves but to create plenty of interest which results in plenty of buyers. This is not that difficult if you know what you are doing. Luckily I know what I’m doing, since 2005 I have built and sold countless eBay businesses. I have defined what it take to go from nothing to profit, then take that new business and dominate it’s chosen niche.

Here are a few of my top tips top get your business noticed:

1. Find yourself an angle  -  Once you have decided what niche you will sell in and what products you want to sell you need to figure out an angle – your USP. (Unique Selling Point) What will make your business stand out from the competition. Is it your exceptional customer service? Is it because all of your items ship the same day if ordered before 3:00pm? With plenty of customer contact letting them know they are in safe hands etc?  Is it that your line of products are a better quality then the rest?
2. Be as visible as possible – If buyers can’t find your auction you wont make many sales. Make sure you are using the correct keywords in your auction titles to ensure you come up in the search results.
3. Build an eBay Store - If you are serious about your online business you need to show this, an eBay store will present a professional image to your customer and also give your products much more visibility, your store will be featured in the eBay store searches and as a store owner you extra get tools to present your other products in each auction listing you make.
4. Write product reviews on eBay –  EBay reviews and guides pages allows the eBay community to share their knowledge of products with each other. You can create some reviews of your stock and maybe some helpful tips about the niche you sell in, each review and guide will have your eBay id and store logo at the end so will give your store more visibility within the eBay community.
5. Don’t forget Social Media - You don’t need me to tell you how big social media is today, so make sure you are taking advantage of this and create a fan page for your eBay business, you can add updates when new stock arrives and post up sales that are happening etc, why not invite your customers to add you in an after sales email?

These are just a few ideas of how to increase your eBay store’s visibility on eBay, each thing may only make a small difference but together they can make all the difference! eBay is a competitive marketplace and you need to make sure you get noticed above the rest, so put these ideas into practise and watch your sales rise.
