What Happened When I Allowed The Mad Hatter To Take Over My Online Marketing…

Written by Jim Green


Returns had been steady since I created www.howtoproducts-xl.com back in December 2004. Steady, but not spectacular, so I decided to conduct a survey.

What I did was to mail those visitors who had taken up my freebie offer but hadn’t made a purchase. They were presented with three optional price bands for each of ten products and asked to tickrepparttar one that best reflected value for money for each individual creation.

The market spoke up and it was clear that I was in danger of over-pricing.

Let's dorepparttar 108678 math:

If you list an item for sale usingrepparttar 108679 auction format,repparttar 108680 cost is anywhere from $.35 on up to several dollars PER AUCTION. What's worse is thatrepparttar 108681 auctions are only good for 3, 5, 7, or 10 days.

BETTER WAY: Sellrepparttar 108682 item in your eBay store. The listing price is just 2 or 3 cents per item...and get this...They're good for a FULL 30 days! For example, I recently sold a $500 item that I listed in my eBay store. The listing cost me a whopping 3 cents! The same item, if I'd sold it usingrepparttar 108683 auction format, would have cost me several dollars!

Using eBay's Auction format to list 500 items at a minimum of $.35 each = $175.00 (and these are only good for 7 days each so you'd have to list them 4 times each per month) $175 x 4 = $700.00

Listrepparttar 108684 same 500 items in your eBay store @ just $.03 each = $15 +repparttar 108685 $9.99 monthly store fee = $24.99 and they are listed for a full 30 days each!
