Let me tell you my story…

After having tried many other ways of making money online
and failed, I was left with no other option but to try the
“ebay selling” thing.

Until then I always thought it was too complicated and like
many other people trying to make money online, I was not
really interested in the fact that most of the stuff sold
on ebay is physical stuff.

I was thinking to myself, if I am going to start making
money on ebay, I am going to have a place to store all this
stuff and then make sure it is shipped out on time.

Ah, too much work, I thought to myself!

But then, I discovered “drop shipping” and you should have
been there to see the BIG SMILE that I had on my face.

Now I could really further look into, making money on ebay
all I had to do was find a product that people were buying
then search my list of drop shippers to find who had that
available. When I find a drop shipper, I then simply list
the item for auction on ebay and when the auction ends, i
collect the money from the buyer, pay my drop shipper and
have them ship out the item as soon as possible.

Now that’s what I am talking about, but it gets better…

After I discovered drop shipping I then also discovered
contrary to my beliefs, I could also sell my preferred
digital products eg. ebooks, software etc. An even BIGGER
smile appeared on my face.

What do you know? This making money on ebay, was not as hard
as I thought after all.

In some ways it is much easier than the traditional direct
selling & advertising making money on the internet is famous
for.

Why? Here’s three quick reasons…

1) On ebay you don’t have to worry about traffic, traffic
flows to the site in millions everyday.

2) All you have to do is find a product people want to buy
and bada bing bada boom you are making money on ebay.

3) Almost everyone who is coming to ebay, is looking to buy
something, just give them what they want and they will buy.

So there, you have it, if you are looking into making money
on ebay, go ahead and try it. I highly recommend it
especially if you have not made any money online yet. It will
give you the confidence you need to pursue other projects.

Your secret to success is…

Research, spend as much time as possible to find items that
people are “hungry” to buy. The more you find, the more
money you will make, it’s as simple as that.

For those of you who are not familiar with niche marketing, here’s an easy way to think about it: Women age 18-34 are a market. However, it’s a difficult market to crack because it’s huge and its members are very diverse. And it would be very, very expensive to advertise to it.

So, what a smart marketer would do is look for a market niche, or slice of this market, that’s smaller and easier to define.

For example, one possible slice would be woman age 18-34 who spend a lot of time with their hands in water. You could then define your market niche as “women age 18-34 with dry, chapped hands.” This gives you a smaller, market that would be easier to target, and your advertising message practically writes itself.

So, how do you find a profitable market niche on eBay?

You need first to pick a market, for example, “dog lovers.” However, like women age 18-34, that’s a pretty big and diverse market. So, the next step is to define a potential niche within that market. For example, one niche might be dog lovers with small dogs (10 lbs. or less). Another could be dog lovers who own a specific breed such as Beagles. You could narrow things down even further by defining your niche as dog lovers who own Beagles and want to protect them in cold weather.

Here’s another example. Start with the market male golfers. Next, narrow it down to, say, left-handed male golfers. Finally, to get even “nichier,” how about left-handed male golfers who are having trouble putting?

Next, comes the profitability part

How do you determine whether your market niche would be profitable? The answer is simple. You test, test, test.

Find products that you think should appeal to your market niche, put them up on eBay and see what happens. eBay is a great research tool because it costs so little to list items. You can list different items to see which attract the most attention. Or you can list the same items but with different sales messages (descriptions) to see which message does best. You can even test pricing by listing the same items at different “buy it now prices” or by starting the auctions at different levels.

It may take time and effort but, yes, you, too, can become a successful niche marketer on eBay.
