What are you good at and what do you know? Did you know that Information Products are some of the hottest selling items on eBay? Why not share your knowledge and make some money in the process? Today's eBay Best Kept Secret will focus on how to do just that.
There are many ways to compile information and one of the most popular ways is to write an
eBook (electronic book). Most ebooks are written in PDF format and sent digitally through email, or via a download link within a web page. There are many services, such as
Payloadz that will handle everything for you, including storing and distributing your eBooks.
Fetch is also a website that provides seamless delivery of your digital goods.
eBooks are a huge seller on eBay and throughout the internet and a very economical way for you to self-publish. They are easy to distribute and there are hundreds of programs available that will help you create them in PDF format, including Adobe Acrobat and I highly recommend the
FREE tutorial to get you started. Once you create your first eBook, get it listed on eBay and begin to market it in other areas of the internet. One of my all-time favorite websites is
WebSource.com and you could literally spend days perusing all of their pages and FREE tutorials, especially if your the techie or geeky type like me.
If you are a statistical or analytical type, then you may want to compile a report to sell and this information is very useful, so don't sell yourself short. Some examples would be "What are the best-selling items on eBay?" or "What are the ten most searched for items on eBay?" How about "What are the top 100 or HOT 100 keywords used by eBay sellers?" You get the idea.
Pandecta.com also has a fabulous FREE tutorial on "How to create information products to sell on the internet." I highly recommend it if you are serious about selling information. If you have been on eBay for any length of time, then I'm sure you know who Skip McGrath is, as he is known as THE eBay Guru. Check out his article "
What is The PERFECT eBay Product???" Skip also has a foolproof system about how to create and sell your information products on eBay.
I have saved the best for last and if you are not familiar with Lisa Suttora and her website,
WhatDoISell.com, then I recommend you get there as fast as possible! She is the queen when it comes to finding products and inventory to sell on eBay. Lisa also teaches classes every year at eBay Live and sits on their Powerseller Panels to discuss sourcing product to sell on eBay. The $19.95 monthly subscription to
WhatDoISell.com may be the best money you've ever spent and that is no exaggeration. Check it out for yourself!
