E-Bay Selling

A lot of people want to know that magical time to list their item for sale on eBay. That precise moment when their item will sell for the best possible price. What they don't wan to hear are those dreaded two words: it depends. My eBay selling experiences have always put me squarely in the camp of "Sunday night is the best time to list on eBay". For me, anyway, it seems my items have always sold best with a 7-day auction that I began (and ended) at 7PM to 7:30PM PST on Sunday. The second best day and time for me has always been Monday at 7PM to 7:30PM PST. The worst day for me has been a Tuesday, any time. I never tried Fridays because I always perceived Fridays as being a bad time for an auction to end.The truth, of course, is that it depends on quite a number of factors, and what you're selling is a major component to what day and time is the best. For example, if you're selling office and business products, Tuesday through Thursday during the day might be the best times. Why? Because that's when people from businesses might be bidding for office supplies and equipment. And, I would have a tendency to exclude Monday and Fridays because some people might be taking a three-day weekend. If you're selling items that school-age kids might want to bid on, then the hours immediately after the school day would be good. If you're selling items that appeal to young adults, it's good to take a look at the television schedule. Maybe ending an auction during an episode of "Lost" isn't the best time. Nor would a Friday night be a good time.Why is the beginning and ending time so important? It seems the bidding for items is most active when an item is just listed and several hours before the end of the auction. Of course, you'll always get bidders between those times, but it does seem that the intensity of the bidding builds up in the last hour or two. Therefore, you'd want to have your auctions end when your target audience is at home and available to follow the last-minute bidding. (Which is why Sunday night has gained a reputation for being a good time to begin and end an auction -- most people are home on Sunday nights.) Of course, if you have items that are in high demand you don't have to worry too much about not having enough bidders. Any time would be a good time to list your items. But, for the most part, you do want to make sure you have the most bidders as possible. Be sure you check for any special television programming that would take your bidders attention away from your auction. And, if you have an auction limited to a geographic area, make you don't end an auction during a special event, like a concert in that area. If your item is not particularly in high demand, make sure your item's not going to end when an auction for a similar item is going to end. You want all potential bidders focused on your item, not split between yours and theirs. As with all online selling, research is the key to a profitable outcome.Shari Hearn is a writer and owner of eBay Selling Ideas

Crucial Things You Must Know Before Starting an Online Business

07th March 2008
Author: Benjamin Anderson
Thinking about working online from home? Here are the answers to some of your burning questions…Q. How do I get started marketing online? I have no idea which company to join and I don’t want to get scammed!A. Getting started is easy! But, it is important to do some research before joining an online company so you can make an informed decision. Not sure what to look for in a company? Here are some key things to look for to ensure that you are joining a reputable company and avoid getting scammed. • Make sure you are getting at least 75% commission up front when you make a sale. You are the one doing the work, so you should be getting paid the money.• Avoid companies where you have to have thousands of people signed up under you before you make any real money. You should be able to break even with no more than 3 sales. • Look for a company that gives you the support you need to succeed. You should be offered training classes several times per week on products, sales and marketing techniques, etc.• Know who you are doing business with! You should be able to speak directly with the owners prior to and after joining the business. They should be easily accessible via phone or webinar. • Stay away from companies that are in the start-up or pre-launch stage. They may never actually get off the ground.EDC Diamond is the Internet’s top rated and fastest growing company. Why? Because they have the very best training and provide you with the knowledge and tools to become an expert internet marketer. You get unlimited access to software and education materials worth thousands of dollars and have the ability to work directly with the EDC Diamond’s owners and top marketers. EDC Diamond pays you 100% commission and will actually close your sales for you! EDC Diamond earned its reputation by providing its members with top of the line education and creating millionaires in the process!Q. I don’t know much about the internet or marketing. Can I still be successful?A. Absolutely! Again, training is key. Make sure you join a company that gives you all the resources you need and is committed to helping you succeed. Watch out for the companies that take your money and then hang you out to dry. You shouldn’t have to figure out everything on your own. Instead, lean toward one that has an active administrative support staff or help desk that can be reach via phone, email, webinar, or chat. EDC Diamond got its #1 reputation by turning internet “newbies” into internet marketing geniuses. Some of the company’s top earners are former waiters, mortgage lenders, and college dropouts. EDC Diamond offers multiple webinar training sessions every day on any topic you can imagine—basic internet knowledge, driving traffic to your site, Craigslist secrets, closing the sale, Google Adwords, list building, business ethics, just to name a few. They have a support department open 5 days a week where you can speak directly with a real person who will walk you through any technical problem you may have. Also, every EDC Diamond member has a personal mentor who will help them along the way. And, the owners and top earners frequently host special webinars to share their marketing secrets and best practices. They WANT you to succeed!Q. Does it require an investment?A. Yes, most online business opportunities require an initial investment. If it claims to be “free”, there is either a catch, or you’re not really getting much of an opportunity to begin with. Let me stress the phase, “You get what you pay for!” Think of it this way…when you join an online company, you are in essence starting your own internet marketing business. Most brick-and-mortar businesses cost thousands of dollars to start up, and can take months, if not years, to turn a profit. Fortunately, you can get your online business up and running at a fraction of the cost, and can generally see a positive return on your investment within a few weeks, if not sooner. The internet’s fastest growing company, EDC Diamond, has 3 levels of membership, so anyone can afford to join. The best part is that you can recoup your costs after only 2 sales! Q. Realistically, how much money can I make marketing online? How long will it take?A. The possibilities are endless! There is no limit on the amount of money you can make marketing online. It certainly helps be involved with a reputable company with a generous commission schedule. Just as in any business, you reap what you sow. The exciting part is that you can make much more money in much less time than you can working a conventional job. Often, you are able to replace your primary income with online marketing proceeds within a few short months. Many members of EDC Diamond make a 5 figure monthly income working only a few hours a day. EDC Diamond’s top earners are making a 6 figure monthly income, and many of them have been members for no more than a year. So if you’re wondering if EDC Diamond can make you rich, the answer is YES! Whether you want to supplement or replace your current income, EDC Diamond can be your answer to financial freedom. Just think, your dreams of getting out of debt, traveling, spending more time with family, or living a life of luxury can be achieved more quickly that you ever imagined!
