Whether you are selling ebooks on eBay or on your own website you are probably not getting a lot of money selling single ebooks. You may have to sell them for 99 cents or 1.99 to get any sales. How can you increase that to a respectable number and make a significant profit?

There are a number of ways to raise the average sale per customer. These strategies work whether you are selling on eBay or on your own site.

The first way, is an old retail marketing strategy from the offline world. Use a value priced ebook to draw your buyers attention to other ebooks at substantially higher prices. In eBay this merely requires you to get them to visit your eBay store where you have full margin ebooks listed. If your customer likes the book he purchased, he is likely to purchase more.

If you are selling from your own site, you can still use the same strategy, just in another form. When you make the sale, provide some links on the thank you page for other books that are related to the book purchased. A percentage of your buyers will click that link, go to another sales page and a percentage of those buyers will buy the second eBook.

Another strategy you can use to increase your customers gross sales amount is to bundle books into a set and charge a higher price for the bundle. It doesn’t cost you any more to sell 20 ebooks than it does to sell one and you can sell a set for many times the price of a single ebook.

The package set strategy will work on eBay either in auctions or in your store. This strategy will also work on your own website, either as an initial offer or an upsell.

A third way to increase the monetization of your customer is to use a One Time Offer or OTO. When your buyer buys one ebook, you will end up sending him to a download page. When your customer clicks the link to the download page, instead of being directed to the actual download page, your customer is directed to a One Time Offer page.

This has to be a big offer so it usually consists of dozens of ebooks for an incredibly cheap price. 40 ebooks for $17.00 for example. A percentage of your buyers will buy the OTO offer. This can work on eBay or your own website.

From your website it is easy because you are already directing them to a download page from which you can redirect them to the OTO page. For eBay, you need to direct them to a download page to get the product so that you can redirect them to the OTO page. If your eBay system is set up to automatically email the purchase to the buyer, you will need to change this instead to directing your customer to a download page.

There are many ways to increase the sales value of your customers. If you can successfully turn a one ebook sale into multiple sales you can substantially increase your total sales revenue and your profits.

What exactly is a PowerSeller?
PowerSellers are the eBay members that have made it, you can recognize them by the ‘PowerSeller’ badge next to their name. You’ve probably seen these people across eBay as you go about your usual business - to succeed on eBay, you need to think the way they do.

How do you get Awarded PowerSeller Status? eBay decides who can be a PowerSeller and who can’t, and they have strict rules. To get in at the minimum PowerSeller level, you must have a feedback rating of at least 100 (minimum 98% positive) and sell at least $1,000 worth of items every month for three months in a row.

There are different levels of PowerSeller membership as you sell items of greater value:
$1,000 is bronze
$3,000 is silver
$10,000 is gold
$25,000 is platinum
$125,000 is titanium

If PowerSellers ever fail to meet the required amount of sales, or their feedback falls below 98% positive, then they lose their PowerSeller status. Essentially the only eBay users that get to be PowerSellers on eBay are the users that have been successful for a while and are on track to stay successful.

The Marketplace and the Shop.
This is the most important part of understanding how PowerSellers think. They don’t see what they’re doing as being some random bazaar, or a hobby - instead, they see themselves as a business.

For example, if you run a stall in a marketplace, the chances are that you have a general area of business, but you mostly just sell whatever you can get your hands on that week. If your dodgy buddy got his hands on a job lot of something at a discount, then that’s what you’ll be selling. This might be fun - and when you have a good week, you’ll have a really good week - but it’s no way to run a real business in the long-term.

PowerSellers think far more like shops. They sell the same things again and again, every week - regular stock for regular customers. They do ‘boring’ business things like keep inventories and budgets. They know what they’re going to be selling, how much they buy it for and how much they expect to sell for. Just like a real shop, there can be hard times sometimes, but their income is stable and their business can grow slowly.

The best advice I can give you on thinking like a PowerSeller is this: don’t take long-term risks for short-term gain. Look after your reputation, manage your selling properly, provide good customer service and the rewards will come to you in due course. And you’ll get a little badge next to your name that makes people trust you more!

One option that you may of missed is - What can eBay do for any other businesses you have. Millions of people visit eBay every day - why keep everything separate when you’re starting to tap into that kind of power?

In fact $14 out of every $100 spent online is spent at eBay!

With bids starting as low as one cent, it’s crazy not to check out the Ebay stamps page! To get started buying stamps on Ebay, just register, browse the categories or type keywords into the search engine. (more…)

To get a picture about the chances for your work at home internet business, lets look at the key figures of the biggest company in that business: 2 billion items listed, $ 50 billion annual turnover from 170 million shoppers. Over 2 million daily visitors, who spend in average two hours navigating around the pages and listings. Amazing!

Every single second this site sells with $ 1.000, times 60, times 60, times 24, makes $ 86,4 million per day. Over 70 % of online auction site users earn more than $ 50.000 per year, they have what you need. This makes you even more excited: 95 % of users are individuals or work at home internet business owners!

A good thing is that the online auction sites have, what we strongly need: a huge targeted traffic and an infrastructure in place, so what we need is the strategy how to make money. The online auction site is a marketplace and a work at home internet business newbie can start to sell right away, in less than an hour and he get immediate access to millions of buyers, who are actively looking for items.

Now you may already think, what kind of products would sell well in the auction sites? It is amazing that people sell items from cars to motorbikes, from collectibles to small personal items, like knives and everything between the sky and earth!

Find below a simple step by step plan, how to start:
1.First: Pick A Product To Sell!
The experts recommend to start slowly. Sell something from your home, an item which you know and can describe well enough and which you do not need any more. Just one item. This will give you a picture about the selling process.

2. Study At The Learning Centers Of The Auction Site.
Some of these marketplaces have a really professional and easy to follow learning sections, with a lot of articles and other useful material about the business. You can get tips about the products, which are hot sellers right now, how to price them and how to promote your offer to make a decent profit for your work at home internet business.

A working strategy is to find a group of products, which sell over a long period of time, slowly but steadily. This can be slower way to riches, but at least you can control your business much better and keep it in your own hands.

Okay, when you have sold the test products, you can buy products for sale. Hopefully the test sale has showed you some indication about the market potential and the target group. The product know how is one of the key questions in the long run, because people make some questions.

You see, it is wise to sell what you like and know. That way you can get your own style and be ahead of the competition. Nobody can copy your feelings, your personal touch. If some of your competitors will sell the same product, it will be your personal touch, which will differentiate you from the other offers and build a brand for your business.

Like generally in the Net, the brand is what sells. You must obtain credibility or trust among the target audience and that does not happen overnight. But after you are seen as an expert on your field of online auction site marketing, you can easily transfer that expertise into new products, because you are the category expert, not a product specialist. That is very important for the profits of your work at home internet business.

With the weakening of the American Dollar, sales of Morgan Silver Dollar coins have spiked on ebay. The Morgan, with Lady Liberty’s profile on the face and an eagle on the back, are antique coins that have always had their own following, but it looks as though they now have a growing foreign interest. As their own currency’s buying power against the dollar grows, buying silver coins seems to be an attractive investment that affords more than one benefit, taking into account the strong price of silver currently.

Ebay is a popular place for coin dealers and buyers, always has been. With this recent silver coin interest, the demand for Morgans, and silver coins in particular is strong. The following is an excerpt from an informative article courtesy of Associated Press:

NEW YORK (AP) — Unlike those crinkled bucks in your wallet, the Morgan silver dollars for sale on Mike Lavanga’s Web site have surged in value since they stopped being minted in the early 20th century.

The antique American coins, with Lady Liberty’s profile on the face and an eagle on the back, are increasingly looking like good buys to foreigners, whose cash is strengthening against the dollar.

Lavanga, of Lawrenceville, N.J., said sales to buyers outside the United States have increased this year by 65 percent from 2006 and have doubled as a percentage of total sales on his Web site, http://www.mikescoins.com. Lavanga’s wife Karen Vincent, an attorney by trade who sells shoes and purses on eBay Inc., has also attracted more bids from places like England, France and Italy.

The economy has slowed and the dollar is weakening — not usually a winning combination for small U.S. retailers. But many of those who sell their goods online are finding that buyers from other countries are gradually making up a larger portion of sales. Exchange rates may not be a deciding factor when one buys boots, bangles or home-run baseballs, but they are certainly working to foreigners’ advantage these days. Read the rest of the story here.

So if you have some Morgan dollars, or have the means to acquire them, this might be a great selling opportunity for you now. Also don’t forget the opportunities to find bargains on ebay for these hot items!

When reading through my rss feeds, I discovered a great strory that reported how Ebay acquired a new site and added it to it’s growing stable. At first glance, I thought of skype and all the up and down press they’ve been getting on account of that acquisition. But when reading the article, I discovered that was up to some good.

The site that’s now part of ebay is Microplace.com . With the “an ebay company” logo distinctly displayed in the top right corner, the Microplace.com homepage is an impressive site design, and their mission is a noble one to say the least.

Microplace.com is site where individual investors can, for as little as $100, invest their money into micro business ventures in emerging market economies. Anyone who has followed mutual funds, specifically those that target emerging markets, know that this form of investing can bring significant reward, as well as the obvious risk associated with it.

When checking out the site further, I discovered several opportunities in places such as Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe as well. The money you invest gets directed to real, small business owners and seems to be intended for specific uses to help them along. This is a notion that I like and hopefully it does help these people out. The rate of return is fixed on most of the investments, and though it’s nothing to stand up and cheer about, it beats what my bank is paying on cd’s unfortunately.

I think I may invest some money here soon as I see it as something worthwhile.

I started this bog, and domain from raw nothing. I knew what I wanted to make it into and which direction it should follow. From the beginning it’s always been about providing quality products and information to whomever may be reading, and/or subscribing to it’s rhetoric. I do that, and do it everyday. The work has been fun and also slightly financially rewarding as I see some profit from this venture.

I have some other blogs that I “acquired” recently that came with built in pagerank. I bought them for this reason and hoped to turn them into something to be proud of. I’ve been planning productive content and user involvement type sites. But they got smacked down a bit from Google . Both down one pagerank notch. I was disappointed when first realizing this, and cursed the big G. Then, when racing to see what happened to 7db, I was pleased to see a pagerank of 1, instead of it’s long standing “zero”.

I’ve been working on this blog and membership site for a little while and have been obsessed with gaining pagerank for it. Now that I have at least some, I’m motivated to drive on and keep it up. As for the others, I feel my efforts will bring them back to recent results.
