In my “How to Blog”, “How to Create and Publish Your First
Kindle Book” and “Web Traffic Builder” classes I explain how one needs to
always think about how one action can build upon and help another action; especially
in creating and increasing Internet exposure. For instance in the Kindle class
(Check out this short YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfC-5qcP6I4)
I explain how each element can create a synergy with one another. Here I’m
sharing how you can add eBay to you blogging, publishing Kindle Books, and your
web sites efforts to create a “marketing wholeness” with your Internet exposure.
Using eBay to drive traffic to your website is not new, and can
be done in numerous ways. I will share one of my favorites. I own many sites and am involved in diverse money making opportunities on the web. So, each time someone purchases from my eBay site (or similar source) I simply ask them to go to my web page where they will see information about all of my other offers. When they do, I get “traffic”. Plus, even sometimes I will get more sales and sign ups. Crazy you say? Too simple? Not so, I say. Follow my easy steps I share here and you’ll see that it works.
HINT: Before I share with you what I do to get people beating a path to my website, here is something
you should also consider: ALWAYS INCLUDE SOMETHING of EXTRA OF VALUE inside the
package you are sending. It’s a great surprise for your buyer and should lead to more positive feedback which leads to more sales, more money, and more of more!
Don’t you like something extra in life? Imagine ordering something, waiting in anticipation for it to arrive, opening it; expecting just your order, and you also get a nice little surprise
item! I insert something like a pen or the Post It note pad; something that really doesn’t add any more significant weight to increase the shipping costs. For instance, I buy cheap imprinted items at: www.myimprintrep.com/123order with my website address on them. (Giving away pens with your web address imprinted on them is one way to drive traffic too).
Of course, adding this “something extra” is optional but I think it helps the recipient to be more open to my question: “Would you please visit my “thank you” page?
That’s it; I have a “Thank You” page on my site and I insert a nice "Thank You" page with each order that tells the buyer to visit the page!!! That’s the secret; nothing special, but it works!
Inserted along with the item that I’m shipping to my buyer, I simply insert a nice color printed page that thanks them, lists some other items that I have on my web page where they can visit and download something or get free! They usually visit and I get more out of selling an item on eBay, sometimes much more. Not rocket science I know, but it is good marketing. Here’s a link to my "Thank You" page so you can visit it and see what it looks like: http://www.terscott.com/thanksfororder.
I even let my customer know that I want them to visit my “Thank You”
page, immediately after they make their purchase when I'm letting them know that I will be sending their order soon and that they should be sure to visit my "thanks page":
CONGRATULATIONS! You
won the eBay bid for the item. I will ship promptly after I see that you’ve
paid. Thanks again for your order and after you receive your order, be sure to
see my “thanks page” at my site to redeem your “thank you” gift!
Make it a great day!
TS..................................
OK, let me repeat: I insert a colored page that I print right from my printer that basically states: “thank you” for your recent purchase. I then list other items on the page with links to the corresponding sites that offer the products and services. You would be surprised how this makes a great impression
Would you INVEST A BUCK to find out how I get tons of traffic to my site with this one eBay tip?
If you want to see exactly what my imprinted sheet that I
insert with each order looks like so you can learn and adapt it to what you do,
I’ll email it to you for just a buck: www.terscott.com/offers.
Learn from what I do on this sheet and create your own similar insertion sheet for
your own use. A dollar is a cheap investment in making more money with future
eBay and similar uses.
That’s it for now. If you haven’t registered in the “Follow
by Email” option on the right side of this page, I must ask: why not? You’ll
never miss an article and it comes right in your email box; cool! When you do
so today, and let me know in the comments area below that you did, you can have
the THANK YOU insertion page at no cost!!!
