Do you know.....

Do you know that you can make money from eBay automatically WITHOUT selling anything on eBay marketplace?

I have to warned you here though. I did not make thousands of dollars. Actually I average between $40 - $50 per site per month. Not a significant amount. But I have around 5 sites on different niches and I started only 2 months ago. So I think it is pretty decent amount for a start.

So take sit back. I am now going to tell you how I did it. If you follow the step-by-step instructions, you to can do it. I will presume that you have a current business on the internet or you are selling your niche product on the internet and have a website or a blog running.

If you are new and do not know where to start or how to identify your niche market, you can read it at my A Newbie Niche Experience hub or get my free report on Newbie Niche Course.

For your information the monies were generated from a webpage that looks exactly like an ebay auction page, only think is that it focus only on a specific niche. My niche. I control what is displayed on the webpage by identifying my niche market and selecting my niche keywords.

I learned this technique from Jeff and I am going to use his website as an example.

I love it so much because my eBay niche site is 'live' and is automatically updated. The auction could change, the sold items removed, a new item listed, the prices or bid can go up or down. It is always new. Everything is done hands free. I do not need to do anything to make sure it is updated. All I have to do is to put in one line of code at my website. Ebay itself is creating the results and publishing it for me.

What you need to do now is to learn quickly and easily how to create your niche webpages as shown in the picture to create income stream from eBay without having to go to the marketplace and physically sell stuffs.

Just what is it.....?

The process is actually done by an eBay Affiliate Program run by Commission Junction. The eBay Affiliate Program actually:

  • Pays 50% of the auction fee
  • Pays about $25 on new eBay users that sign up and successfully buy something
  • Has powerful tools you can use to create your Niche market web pages

So, show me.....

With eBay dynamic auction listings that is updated automatically 24/7, you can make eBay work for you and your niche website. All you need to do is to create your niche site once and eBay will automatically update your site with current, targeted and live auctions. As mentioned before you have complete control what will appear on your site by identifying your niche market and informating eBay your niche keyword(s).

It is so easy to impletement that you can place eBay targeted auctions at multiple sites for multiple niches that you are working on.

The main idea is you first have to identify your niche market and check at eBay if it is logical for your to have a page of auction items relevant to your site. Remember that the contents of the auction is determined by you based on the keyword(s) that you enter.

The various types of eBay auction.....

There are various ways you can use the technique mentioned above. Besides having a specific eBay auction website or webpage that focuses on your niche market or your niche keyword(s), you can also use it as:

Autoresponder Auctions

What you do is to add a message in your autoresponder series in your niche market.

Send out an autoresponder message and have a link in your message to your website auction page.

Example:

"Hi (firstname)

It occured to me that ............... I found a great way to search through eBay and find ............ on sale!

I bought mine on eBay and saved........

http:// www.yourauctionsite.com"

Unsubscribe Auction Page

Most of us have a generic unsubscribe page that basically says:

"You have been unsubscribed from <yoursite.com>".

Why not customize your unsubscribed page. Mention to them that they have been unsubscribed and then place your auction listing right below your unsubsribe message.

Blog posts

A another good place to have an eBay auction page.

Don't wait.....

You have learned a new automatic method to generate traffic and income stream from your existing niche business.

You also learned several ways you can utilize the technique either through your website, autoresponder, blogs etc.

It is so simple to start and implement that you can crate mulitple auction sites on multiple niches within minutes. It will cause you nothing but just your time.

How to implement.....

In the next hub, I will give you step-by-step instructions on how to implement your own eBay auction listing on your niche market website.

I need you to sign-up and set-up your account with Commission Junction and sign-up as a publisher.

Commission Junction....

Commission Junction sign-up page...

Commission Junction Sign-up Procedure....

Once you are at Commission Junction homepage, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page until you find :

"Click here to apply for a Commission Junction publisher account."

Go through the sign-up process and you will receive a confirmation by Commission Junction that you have successfully sign-up as a Commission Junction Publisher.

  • The next step you need to do is, through your Commission Junction (CJ), account, apply for an eBay affiliate program.
  • On the top left side of your CJ, click on the "Get Links" button
  • Go to "Search Advertisers" on your top left side and key in

    "ebay". Then click on "Find" button.

  • Tick on your eBay country selection and then scroll to the top and select "Apply Program"
  • A little box will appear that basically tells you that to join eBay advertising program, you need to accept certain advertising conditions. Read through the terms and conditions and if you agree, click on the "Accept" button and then click "Continue"
  • A message will appear congratulating you that your application has been approved and you are now a member of eBay advertisers program

That is all that you need to do. You are now officially an affiliate of Commission Junction and an affiliate of eBay.


Till next time....

Thank you for an honest Hub - you are not promising to make anyone a fortune, you are being upfront about how much you earn. It might be a good idea to update your Hub now that eBay no longer uses Commission Junction, though.

I'm also trying out the eBay affiliate system using phpBay. So far I've only made $40, but i'm happy with that for a new site - we shall see!

Here are my Hubs on the subject:
