7 days till I’m back KILLING it on eBay
Written by June Beezy on April 14, 2008 – 12:16 am -
Hey y’all!
Just checked that it’s 7 more days than I can sell on eBay again. I recently got suspended because my shipments were falling behind and naturally a lot of people requested refunds. I will still ship to all of them and I don’t care if they pay me. I believe I lost about 11 X 12.97 dollars.
Even a couple negative feedback on ebay can screw your business up but you live and learn. Plus I have over 800 feedbacks so its all good.
Lesson is to ALWAYS provide tracking numbers. I’m going to be using Canada Post with tracking now. No problemo!
Now . . .
I’m going to drop the price of the product on my website, and get back to building my list through ebay.
Not because I want to match the exact price I was selling it on eBay (People go to ebay for bargains that is why I originally sold my ‘Home Booze Kit’ for just $12.97), but because my sales dropped a lot even AFTER my autoresponders. People were visiting but weren’t taking action - because the price was too high for them - and some minor lack or credibility and other factors which I’m still working on to increase conversion.
Plus in these 30 days, I’ve been generating some decent traffic (1500 visitors a month) and more importantly, got my shipping and pretty much lots of things figured out on the website too (Free information, testimonials, FAQs etc).
This also gave me time to really improve my sales letter - I’m currently getting 5-8 leads a day. I expect to double that or more when eBay gets started.
Unique product + eBay + Website = Really good money!
Let’s do some math . . .
Originally, I was making about 2-3 sales a day just off ebay.
With my website and eBay working together, if I can generate a minimum 10 sales a day (Looking better than 10 actually once my feedback rating goes up), that is:
12.97 X 10 = $129.7 a day!
or $3891 a month!
Would you consider that a full-time business? Well . . . I would be happy once that number goes over 10gz a month but that would be a nice start
Let the slaughter BEGIN!
I’ll keep you posted
- can’t wait!
