Put your "to sell" book on ClickBank
The initial cost to open a Vendor ClickBank account is $49.95. Note Cheap 76ers Jerseys , this account is only if you want to SELL something through ClickBank. If you are just selling the products of others? your account is free.
Once you set up your ClickBank account, you are not listed in the Marketplace until one of your product is sold, so you may want to go ahead and purchase one yourself, so you can get listed. You receive all your money back minus the ClickBank fee with your next commission check.
This is optional and probably best for later on. As explained earlier, ClickBank handles the transaction of selling digital goods (software Al Horford 76ers Jersey , eBooks, etc). People who are interested in becoming affiliates visit ClickBank to look for products they want to promote and sell. So if your product is listed on ClickBank, people will want to sell your item for a commission. ClickBank charges a $49.95 fee to put your item on their site. Your item will then be place in their "Market Place", available for people to browse and purchase OR they will become your affiliate and sell your item for you.
Advertise the heck out of everything (Lots of free, but good ways to do this)
Notice near the top of my description Ben Simmons 76ers Jersey , I have two Bonuses listed. One is offering some free information that some people try to sell on eBay, which I feel is a scam. The auction visitor can click on the email address and send a blank email and I have an auto-responder set up so that an email is automatically sent to them with the free information plus a link to my website offering "More Free Resources".
The 2nd bonus is for the visitor to be able to download my previous eBook for free. Some day, this eBook will be offered for free as well. My eBooks are always filled with links to my website.
eBay "About Me" Page: Here is my current "About Me" page on eBay http:members.ebayaboutmemisssecretary
I have information about my websites here. However, I also have a link that states "In a hurry? Click here and you will be emailed information". That way, I can hopefully capture people who clicked over to my "About Me" page Josh Richardson 76ers Jersey , saw the amount of information and didn't feel like reading it right then. When they click the link, they just fill in their email address and I have an auto-responder set up to email them different things over the next 2 months.
eBay Leading Auctions Leading auctions, to me, are a way to auction items and it's nice if they sell, however you are after the bigger picture of enticing them to your website. You most likely will have the same items for sale on your website anyway. Use eBay for an inexpensive advertising tool. As I said before Allen Iverson 76ers Jersey , with 500+ visitors to my auction listing, I feel it is money well spent. And if my item sells, all the better. So I never feel I've lost anything with my auctions. Also, with a leading auction, I don't worry about making a profit on the item and therefore can sell it for less.
Auto Responders Ahhh Joel Embiid 76ers Jersey , the magic of auto-responders. There are many programs around that offer auto-responders for a fee, of course. DO NOT PAY for an auto-responder. Do it yourself and it is free!! I use Microsoft Outlook for my email program. In the program, I can set up 'Rules', so that if I receive email with certain criteria that I set up, it will automatically respond with an email that I also set up. Outlook is certainly not the only program that does this Tobias Harris 76ers Jersey , but if you have the MS Office suite on your computer, you have Outlook and I suggest you use it. Or download the Eudora eMail Program for free I have listed in the "Software" section. Check the companion website for instructions on setting up auto-responders.
Message Boards Join and contribute, use your signature to promote
Most message boards will not allow you to advertise or 'spam', which is a good thing. There are ways around this. Just put some information in your signature link and post away. Don't just post anything. Answer questions, get into the conversation.
Free For All pages I absolutely do not recommend these. When you submit your site to a Free For All link site Al Horford Big Tall Jersey , or worse a service that will submit your site to thousands of FFA link sites, it only serves the purpose of giving thousands of companies your email address. Then the major spam starts. When your site is submitted to these FFA's, you are agreeing that you will receive email from them, so you are bombed with literally thousands and thousands or emails. If the temptation is too great and you must do it, please by all means Ben Simmons Big Tall Jersey , get a free email address somewhere and use that when you submit. On the flip side, you may want to set up a Free For All Link page on YOUR website, then you will have the advantage of receiving emails from the people who add links to the page.
Other auction sitesFree to list sites There are many auction websites where it is free to list items. Take advantage of that for free advertising.
