The answer is a very definite Yes.

Can I earn an income with online marketing? Again

the answer is yes.

What kind of income, small, moderate, or large?

Answer, It's your choice.

First of all, it's degree of committment you

are willing to make. A business is a business,

is a business, is a business.Online,Offline.

I've been in online marketing for two years now

and I have to tell you my first 18 months were

the pits. You see I had no prior knowledge of

marketing of any kind, Then I knew of no one in

marketing to turn to for help. Being persistent

was my life ring, and how I made it work for me.

I found out that correct information, coupled

with a little financial support will knock off

about a year on learning curve. Oh! by the

way, if you are not ready to invest some time,

and a little money forget about online marketing,

and go back to your "9 to 5" cubicle.

Forget about all hype of not having to do

anything but kickback and watch money

roll-in.There are a lot of programs out there

that promises just that, well if you believe

I would also appreciate you dropping me a line at webmaster@ebsdiscounts.com to let me know when and where it will be printed.

Thanks,

How To Attract Bidders - The Group Method

“I need to get more people to view my auctions!”

Next to getting a bidder to bid, this is probably most frustrating issue for sellers.

What a lot of sellers don’t realize is timing is everything. I have heard from sellers that when they have an auction that didn’t get any bids and they re-list same auction at same price just a week later they get lots of bidders, some even make more profit than they expected. So what’s deal?

The ‘deal’ is that you never know when people likely to bid on your auction are going to be looking at your auction.

So, here we are back at beginning, how do we attract bidders? Well, one method that I have used to create traffic to both my website and my auctions is to participate in or create your own discussion group.

What are discussion groups you ask? Well, as description for Yahoo Groups puts it, discussion groups “offer a convenient way to connect with others who share same interests and ideas.”

There are three key ways to use groups to increase your auction traffic. The first two are 1) Join groups that let you post links to your auctions, or 2) Start your own group and invite others to post links to their auctions while you do same.

The two methods above are a quick and easy way to get started on driving traffic to your auctions, however, third and best way to utilize groups is to create a specialized group based around a theme, for example, collectors of die cast cars. This way people that are interested in your theme will be more interested in joining that kind of a group rather than a group that just lists various auction links. You can then set rules so that members may post related auctions.

This last method focuses you audience and gets your auctions what is reffered to as ‘targeted traffic’, which is best kind of traffic.

How do you get started? Glad you asked, shows you’re paying attention.
