STEP 1 TO MAKING MONEY WITH EBAYS AFFILIATE PROGRAM
The first thing you need to do is open up a text file or grab yourself a piece of paper to write on. I tend to go for the paper over a text file simply because it is easier to jot down ideas and thoughts versus typing them into a text editor. Now that you have a way to save your thoughts and ideas I need to to start writing down a few "products" or "niches" that YOU personally enjoy RIGHT NOW.
-----------------------------------
An example:
bicycles
skateboarding
making money online
fishing boats
---------------------------------
Now what you are going to do is write down a MINIMUM of 20 products, items, services or niches in the least amount of time possible. You are not trying to dwell on this step because some might procrastinate and NEVER get to step 2 simply because they are worried ABOUT their choices and if they sell.
You need to write down things that YOU are interested in, might know something about, or a hobby that can peak and KEEP your interests for a MINIMUM of 3 months and as long as a year plus.
After you have your list of AT LEAST 20 things you can move onto STEP 2 which you can see below. If you haven't gotten a list of AT LEAST 20 items then STOP and finish step 1 before continuing. Skipping methods and instructions NOW will only prove to help you FAIL later on down the road So why not learn from my mistakes over the years and follow this plan to the T so speak.
Step 2 To Making Money With The Ebay Affiliate Program
Now that you have your list together you are going to want to arrange them in order of "top picks" and put your most favorite product, niche or idea at the head of the class in that Number 1 spot. Don't take too much time with this step because just like step 1, you need to push to keep moving along through these steps before you get bored, lose interest or focus. It really doesn't surprise me how many people I have seen NOT make money simply because of their follow through. I am writing these tips, tricks and ideas in a fashion that will either REMOVE those lazies from my site or MOTIVATE them to keep moving forward and stay focused on the end goal which is MAKING MONEY WITH EBAY.
Step 3 To Generating Income With Ebay's EPN Affiliate Program
By now you should not only have 20+ income generating ideas BUT have them arranged in order from FAVORITE to LEAST favorite sitting in front of you. Now comes the fun part that I like to call "competitive research". Some might consider this part something different BUT I am writing the step by step system here that WORKS so stay focused and remember that FOLLOW THROUGH pays the bills while others sit and argue or terminology and the BEST way to do this or that.
What you are going to want to do is go to eBay.com and if you are not already a member of eBay whether as a buyer or seller make sure and SIGN UP (you can use this link to the left to sign up and it will open in a new page so you will not lose this spot). If you are already a member of ebay than skip the above part and continue with this step below.
Login To Your Ebay Account - You need to be logged in because you will be required to do so to search "completed items". After you are logged in you will want to go to the ebay search bar and enter your #1 pick from the list you created and press SEARCH. After the results populate the screen scroll down and on the left side you will see "Show Only" under the preferences section. Click the COMPLETED LISTINGS box which will then only return items that have ENDED with their ending price, if they were left unsold and how many bids were made.
----------------------------------------------
Here Is An Example:
Let's assume that my top pick was "john deere tractor"...
I would login to my eBay account and then search for: john deere tractor
Then I would scroll down to the preferences section and click the "completed listings" box and allow the page to refresh
-------------------------------------
Now with the above example which you can test out by going to ebay and following my example it will then show ONLY auctions that have ended whether with a winner or not. Items with RED on the price ended without a winner and those with GREEN on the price ended WITH a winner.
What you will be able to do with this information is to gauge the amount of items within your "item list" that are hot sellers, have slow to no sales, not even listed ON eBay and even better HIGH END items that sell non stop.
Go ahead and run the same searches with the entire list that you made of the 20+ items, products, services and so forth and write any notes down about specific items within your niche that seem to sell more, others that seem to sell less and POSSIBLY even better ideas that you found within your search results to add to your current list alltogether.
Step 4 - Start Making Money With EPN Using Bans PhpBay Pro Wordbay Or Ebay Api
In step 3 you learned how to perform competitive market research using your list of items and ebays search results. In this step you will learn how to EXECUTE and GENERATE income using YOUR niche ideas. I have listed a couple different options depending on if you are looking for a 100% free method or if you (like me) are willing to spend a little to gain alot (using software coded to help INCREASE ebay affiliate income AND be hands free all in one).
