So why bother with any place but eBay? Because eBay is also place of highest fees and not always best place for your items.

Not all of your products may be best suited for listing on eBay. The ROI is just not attractive for items with a small margin. Then too, eBay limits your ability to attract potential buyers to your web site so that you can up-sell or cross-sell. Their restrictions and myriad rules narrow your opportunities and may even cause you to be unwittingly suspended from that site!

If not eBay, then where? There are many other avenues or venues for auctioning, selling, generating leads, gaining exposure, and converting inventory to cash. Let's talk about other auction venues first.

There are literally hundreds of auction sites, sales sites, and classified ad sites, many of which are free to list on. Some few are even free when you sell. Of course, most of upgrade features are extra and are to be paid for by you.

Let's start with those other auction sites. These are generally allotted into layers or tiers based on number of items listed, number of members and/or traffic density.

There are only a few second tier sites. These are considered second tier since they have size, name recognition and some appreciable traffic - thus better sell through rates.

The first one that should come to mind is Yahoo Auctions. Listings are only 5 cents and there are occasional Free Listing Days (FLD). A small core of loyal members prefer it to eBay, citing lower fees and good sell through rates.

In that time I could literally count on my two hands number of products that REALLY impressed me by getting right to point and delivering as advertised.

Tens of thousands of books, seminars, workshops, newsletters,magazines...

And less than 10 times I could think of where I've been "taught" what I wanted in a purely efficient and content- rich way.

How about you?

How much time have you wasted wading through forest looking for a branch of knowledge in total frustration?

Like anything else, where there's a problem, there's an opportunity.

Understand what value your knowledge provides to your customers, deliver it quickly, and you can rake in profits, make a massive difference in people's lives and set yourself aside from 90% of your competition.

So how do you improve value of your products?

First, make sure you know exactly what your market wants.

90% of low performing products suffer from 2 factors - developer doesn't understand what their customers want or they don't have enough experience in their topic to provide real value.

If you don't know real reason why your customers badly want what you have to offer - FIND OUT NOW!

This is why I often recommend people write their sales letters, web pages, press releases BEFORE developing their products. It's moment of truth, where rubber meets road, so to say.

Second, don't rely on flash or personality alone.

I see allot of people saying that you can develop your own product, newsletter, etc.. with JUST personality.
