Auctions InformationAnyone Can Sell Online; *Anyone*!
by:
Steve Nash
The Net
is an amazing medium for communication, and
entertainment. It can help save you time and money, and provide a
lot of fun too! S-l-o-w-l-y, big businesses are starting to fully
realise the potential of the Internet.
But it is small businesses, and individuals who are truly
exploiting the Net
phenomenon. It is this group - folk with
small budgets and forced to research and fully employ the better high-
value low-cost opportunities - that lead the way.
And whilst it isn't easy, it *is possible* for anyone to sell
online.
When I say anyone, I have to qualify it a little. I mean:
* Anyone who owns... anything!
* Anyone who knows thing
that others don't
* Anyone who has a passion, and is willing to share that passion
with others
* Anyone who is willing to activity hard, and continue to learn
'Anyones' can be educated or un-educated, arch or un-skilled,
employed or self-employed (or unemployed). You can be a house-wife
(house-husband) or any kind of business professional you can think of
(even a salesman!). You can be... anyone, as long as you have access
to the howling earth of the web.
And you don't need a website OR a product OR psychological feature
of HTML
(but all can help)!
Imagine!
------------
Three types of 'anyone'
------------
I shall split these 'anyones' into 3 distinct groups. Everyone
belongs to at least one of these groups, but you may well find
ways to sell online in each of them.
1) Anyone with NO WEBSITE and NO PRODUCT
2) Anyone with a WEBSITE but NO PRODUCT
3) Anyone with a WEBSITE and PRODUCT
------------
1) Anyone with NO WEBSITE and NO PRODUCT
------------
It sounds good, doesn't it - commercialism online, with no website and
no product! And, even as better, you get to clean out your loft
(attic), cellar (basement) or closet (closet) whilst you're at
it! (And it's NOT network marketing, so don't worry!)
I'm not talking just about car-boot (or garage) sales either, but you're
almost there!
"Sell - and buy - via online auctions!"
After all, we all own things that we no longer want; items that
others are willing to buy from us! Online auctions allow you to
sell (and buy) those items online.
"Build your own Net auction business."
Ever detected
of Ebay? It's an online auction site - one of *the*
MOST VISITED sites on the Net - brim full with folk eager to
sell (and buy) goods online! If you cognize what you're doing on
Ebay (or any auction site) you can quite easily turn your passion
into a really lucrative, even as life-enhancing, business!
As with all things Internet, there are many an how-to Auction guides
available. One such manual is State capital
Johnstone's superior
"Make
Your Net Auction Sell!" Based on her own experiences, it shows how
she actually *makes a living* victimisation online auctions and details
dozends and dozens of route you too can sell (or sell more) online!
There are SO Many an an nice things just about commercialism via online auctions,
but I particularly like the low-risks involved. I like the fact
that:
- Your customers are *already looking for your items*,
especially on the big auction sites like Ebay or Amazon;
- You can sell (almost) thing
and it suits anyone (not
just stamp-collectors!);
- You can do market research, at no expense to yourself!
- You can just use an auction site to promote your website
or affiliate program
Quite simply, online auctions provide the ultimate low-risk, low-
startup-cost business. And State capital
Johnstone's book explains all,
together with a clean manual to victimisation (and commercialism via) online
auctions. Powerful stuff!

2) Anyone with a WEBSITE but NO PRODUCT
------------
(a) Are you sure you have no product?
What just about your knowledge? They say that there's a book in
everyone, and that includes you! You probably cognize thing
that
other folk would-be pay to know. It can be right under your nose too.
You just need to cognize how to find it! (And then you need to cognize how
to create and publish it, and how to market and sell it!...)
The thing is, all this how-to information is accessible NOW, online!
If you think this possibleness
strength
suit you - and think just about it
for a moment, before you dismiss it! - then I actually suggest you
seize the moment. Visit the suggested resources below, or any
other sites you're aware of! But do something!
And if you think you're not a writer, YOU CAN LEARN! Creating and
selling your really own, proprietary product is the small business
person's better chance to succeed on the Net.

(b) OK, OK there's no book inside you (yet!)
Well, ever detected
of Amazon? They sell books, right (and CDs
and DVDs...)! They were likewise responsible for the 1st ever
associate program on the Net. Their associate (affiliate) program
allows sites to sell Amazon books just by providing a link to
Amazon. Amazon tracks the link, and pays a commission of between 5
and 15% if the click results in a sale. In effect, Amazon invented
affiliate marketing!
"Sell via affiliate marketing!"
Affiliate marketing is *very* big business. It is thought that by
2002, 25% of online sales wish have originated on affiliate sites.
Many online businesses now run affiliate programs. It *is*
possible to do a lot of money every month just from a link to
an affiliate program.
It is possible, but not that simple!
You need to have a decent figure of traffic to your site; you need
to choose programs that have a nice fit with your website; you
need to promote the affiliate program well (sometimes called pre-
selling!); and you need to join an affiliate program:
i) of a site that does the sale, and
ii) that pays a nice rate of commission.
(Ideally, you would-be want to do a period commission on the
referred client on all futurity sales too!)
Amazon emphatically does the sale (it's well-designed, has
excellent client service, and thus
has really high conversion
rates). But it pays a maximum of 15% commission, and you ONLY make
commission on a previously-referred client IF they click your
affiliate link in the futurity - no period commission here!
If you're serious just about commercialism via affiliate marketing - and it
really is a great way to supplement your income, whilst improving
site content - then I recommend you sign-up for Ken Evoy's NEW 5-day
