Auction Autopilot Blog

New eBay sellers often neglect to put enough effort into creating exciting and informative eBay listings.  They think all they need to do is throw up any old auction and visitors will not only come, but bid.  This is just not the case.  The look and feel of your eBay auctions has nearly as much to do with the amount of bids you get, as the item itself.

Even though most eBay sellers begin as eBay buyers, many forget what it is that attracts them to one auction more than another.  Just think about the last item you bought something on eBay.  Were you able to choose between several of the same item?  If so, think about what it was that persuaded you to bid on a particular auction.  Here are some of the most important elements that influence most eBay bidders.

• Title - This should be a mini description of the item up for auction.  It should include as much pertinent information as possible.
• Description - Make sure you provide as much detail as you can.  The more information you can provide, the better your auction will perform… brand name, model, size, color, condition, year, etc.  Make sure your visitors have all the information they need to make an immediate decision.
• Photos - The more photos you can provide the better your auction will perform.  eBay bidders want details and nothing a story better than pictures.  Even a darker, off center, somewhat out of focus photo is better than no photo at all.
• Guarantee - Can you provide some sort of guarantee to the winning bidder?  If so, do it.  You will definitely get more people bidding, which will likely result in a significantly higher price.  And, as long as you have been completely truthful in your description, the likelihood that someone will return the item is very low.
• HTML - This will allow you to perform basic text formatting, like bolding titles, separating paragraphs and inserting blank lines.  Even if you only use a little bit of HTML, it can make a big difference in the look and feel of your auctions.  There are a number of basic HTML tutorials online, which you can find by doing a search.

The bottom line is that the appearance of your eBay auctions and the text you include can have a big impact on the amount of money you will make.  Remember, your eBay auctions will often be competing against several other online auctions, selling nearly the exact same item.  Spending a little extra time to make sure you include all of the elements above, will pay big dividends.

Auction Profit Streams is an ebook, written by John Thornhill, a bonafide eBay Power Seller.  John is one of the biggest ebook sellers on eBay, with over 10,000 positive feedback comments.

In Auction Profit Streams, John reveals the simple system he has been using to create multiple income streams, using the viral power of eBay.  John has been consistently making thousands each month by creating simple information products and selling them on eBay.

Why, you might ask, does John sell information products on eBay, rather more traditional items like antiques, collectibles, cars or other hard goods?  Why has John come to the conclusion that one of the very best ways to make money on eBay is to sell information products?  Simply, they sell like crazy, all day long, every day!  Perhaps the most valuable commodity on the internet is information!  Now, you can profit from this insatiable desire for information.

Auction Profit Streams is not about making huge amounts of money on eBay, from each sale.  Instead, John advocates a system that will allow you to generate small profits on auto pilot (I like that), which combined, will make you a river of money for years to come.  Some of the important topics covered in John’s eBook include:

• Building a list of subscribers
• The importance of multiple streams of income
• Your most valuable asset and how to maintain it
• The Pros and Cons of Resale Rights
• The best subjects for ebooks
• How to create your very own ebook
• Selling your Ebook Successfully
• How to make money without your own Product
• Profiting from Private Label Content
• Becoming an Expert in your field

One of the things I like most about John’s eBay money making system is that it only takes a few hours a day, working from the comfort of your own home.  I know that sounds a bit cliche.  But seriously, how would you like to quite scouring the classified ads and organizing your week around the latest estate sales.  Or, how about spending your weekends doing something more fun than treking from yard sale to yard sale, sifting through other people’s “junk,” trying to find hidden gems that will generate a decent profit on eBay.  Well, if that is as appealing to you as it is to me, you will not want to wait to get your hands on John’s ebook.

And, I want to assure you that John’s system is not some “pie in the sky” theory.  It is proven and time tested.  As I already mentioned, John has been using this same system to consistenly make hundreds daily and thousand weekly (see proof here).

One of the best ways to master any business is to find a mentor and do what he does.  Why reinvent the wheel when you don’t have to?  If an acknowledged expert can show you the way to success on eBay and save you all the frustration and expense of trying to figure it out on your own, you would be crazy not to take his advice.  It’s simply called working smarter, not harder.

If you have been looking for a simple system that will allow you to easily develop multiple income streams that consistently generate profits, then look no further.  John will show you how to create a product in a matter of hours that will make you money for years to come… doing absolutely nothing else. His method is truly a “set it and forget it” system.

And, John doesn’t leave you hanging out there all by yourself.  If you ever need any help along the way, you can simply email him anytime and as often as you need.  He provides this unprecedented free email support for life.  Now, that is the mark of someone who truly cares about your success.  Who else do you know that provides that kind of support?  I can tell you it is pretty rare.
