To sell products in auctions web sites could be a highly profitable business! 

 

  Here you have some ideas of products that you could offer in auctions systems: 

 

- Any kind of books (printed or digital) 

- Own software 

- Collectable articles (stamps, money note, coins, etc.) - Art and handiworks (paintings,      sculptures, art works) 

- Electronic products or hardware  

- Textile production (own) 

- Unpublished or exclusive articles 

- Regional products     

- Crafts 

etc. 

 

Most of the auctions sites,offers you an exclusive page so you can show the details (even pictures) of all your products,”basic” prices, the date  

of the auction and your contact information. 

 

This doesn’t means that you don’t need your website… 

Sincerely, a website it´s useful for many reasons: 

Since you have more space,It allows you to describe your products with more details.  

After you begin to sell your products in an auctions site, you can “redirect” the people to your website to offer them other articles.  

You can use other commercialization methods (different  

to those offered at the auctions site).  

 

Advantages:

 

The clients will buy from you directly. And if the product is of their pleasure, you can “guarantee” that client and sell him others related things.  

There are not limits in the amount of sales that you can do.  

The majority of the serious auctions sites,promote instantly, and by differents ways, your offer.  

Disadvantages: 

 

Most of the auctions sites charges a small percentage of the sales.  

Pre-sale service: you should dedicate some time in assist  the consults and frequent questions that interested people leave in the auctions site.

  

Scheduling step to step:  

 

1 - Acquire or create your own product 

 

2 - Visit and investigate the different options of sales of those auctions 

sites of the web.    

These are the most popular: 

http://www.ebay.com   

 

3 - If you still don’t  have it,develop your own web site! 

4 - Publish the sales chart with details, extra pictures, etc.At this point,I want to emphasize that of the sales chart depends 90% of the decision that the potential client will takes.  

 

This “chart” it´s, probably, the most important part of your business and you need to acquire some knowledge to elaborate it efficiently. 

 

 

5 - Marketing: promote,promote and promote! 

Put into practice proved marketing and publicity strategies that might assure you to guide a big amount of traffic to the page of your auction.
