So what’s a PowerSeller? PowerSellers are the people on eBay who’ve made it, recognisable by the little ‘PowerSeller’ badge next to their name. You’ve probably seen these people around – and to succeed on eBay, you want to think the way they do.

How do People Get the Right to Call Themselves PowerSellers?

eBay gets to decide who can be a PowerSeller and who can’t, and they have strict requirements. To get in at the minimum PowerSeller level, you must have a feedback rating of at least 100 (minimum 98% positive) and sell at least $1,000 worth of items every month for three months in a row. There are different levels of PowerSeller membership as you sell items of greater value: $1,000 total is bronze, $3,000 is silver, $10,000 is gold, $25,000 is platinum and $125,000 is titanium.

If PowerSellers ever fail to meet the required amount of sales, or their feedback falls below 98% positive, then they lose their PowerSeller status. In short, the only people who get to be PowerSellers on eBay are the people who have been successful for a good while, and are on track to stay that way.

The Shop and the Marketplace

1. Donate a percentage of your profits to a cause your customers would like. It could be a charity, school, environmental improvements, etc.

2. Take harsh criticism the right way and improve your online business. Don’t get down in the dumps, improve the situation so it doesn’t happen again.

3. Email each visitor a satisfaction questionnaire after they purchase. This will allow you to improve your order system, customer service, site, etc.

4. Try bartering before you buy services, supplies and equipment for your business. You can use the extra money you save on advertising your business.

5. Keep your visitors on your web site longer. The longer they stay, the greater chance they will buy. Just hold a treasure hunt contest on your web site.

6. Give away a follow-up email course on an auto-responder. Include your ad with each lesson. People will buy quicker when they see your ad repeatedly.

7. Split the cost of online advertising and marketing by sharing a web site with a similar, non-competing business. You would both put up half the cost.

8. Make sure you’re always creating new products and services or improving old ones. Most products or services won’t stand the test of time online.

What is drop shipping?
Drop shipping is when the product distributor takes care of all the shipping for you. Rather than ordering stock in bulk, the stock remains with the distributor. Then, when you make a sale, you send an email to the distributor and they pack up the item and send it straight to the customer with your company label on the box.

Drop shipping is a very popular option with sellers because it takes a lot of the grunt work out of selling on eBay. However, there are some major downsides to drop shipping – especially for new sellers.

Here’s a list of the pros and cons of drop shipping so that you can make the right decision for your business.

Drop shipping Pros

1. No storage room required
You don’t have to fill up your living room with stock and packing materials! This is particularly useful if you are selling large items such as kit-sets, furniture, sporting goods, and so on.

2. No shipping costs getting stock delivered from the distributor
Drop shipping means you don’t have to pay a carrier to bring stock from the distributor to your own storage area, which can mean big savings in the long term.

We’re going to do a little visualization for a moment.

So let’s say for a moment that you sell sport equipments, and you want to sell even more of them.

So you decide to advertise your in your local newspaper. Your hope, of course, is that there are people who read the newspaper who also buy sport equipments. Well, that’s a pretty safe bet.

Lots of people read the newspaper, and lots of people buy sport equipments.

But, what are the chances that the people who are reading the newspaper are also looking for sport equipments, or even a specific sport equipment, that you are selling?

Advertising has been around a long time, and no matter where you advertise, or what you are advertising, you always face this same problem.

And that problem is that some of your advertising dollar — the majority of it — is wasted on people who don’t see, don’t pay attention to, and don’t care about your ad.

Now, let me ask you do a little more visualization.

Imagine for a moment that you sell sport equipments, and you want to sell even more of them.

BOOST your website’s link popularity & PageRank with these 7 little known, battle-tested, and easy to use linking tactics — and what’s more… Louis Allport will show you how to get up and running with nearly all of them for FREE!

Good links can be tricky to get. There’s two very common website problems (that you’ve probably experienced) when it comes to the search engines:

One — You won’t even get into the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN, if no one’s linking to you.

And Two — If few sites are linking to you, the search engines give your site very little importance. You won’t be getting visitors if your website is on page 20 of the Google results!
 
Now, the fact is that…

“Off Page Factors” (links in) are becoming more and more important – IF – you want your site to rank well in the search engines.

Whereas …

“On Page Factors” (text on the page) is becoming less and less important to ranking high.
The major search engines are now interested in listing websites high which other sites have “voted for”.

So, how do search engines count votes?

Pssst… Have you HEARD? No Kidnapping Necessary…

You might not hear about it much, but there are people out there… marketers… who are very quietly making seven figure incomes as affiliates.

You’ll never be told the names of most of these affiliates. They don’t do seminars, they don’t write ebooks, and they don’t teach anyone how to do what they do…

…they just quietly go about their business of sucking cash off the Internet with a giant King-Kong sized vacuum.

Now, if you’re like me, you want to know what they know.

You want to suck cash off the Internet like a giant Hoover, too.

So how do we find out what they know?

We’ll CLONE him.

We’ll make an exact copy of his brain, and then we’ll be able to earn six or seven figures with affiliate marketing, too!

Sound nuts?

Not as nuts as you think…

There is a guy named Chris who is making SEVEN figures with affiliate marketing and Adwords right now.

And he’s hired a software team to duplicate the process he uses to make this income.

His software does what he does, automatically.
