Want better search results for the ebay items you’re selling?

Many think that to successfully sell on ebay all a seller has to do is list.

False. Well partially false, certainly an item can’t sell if it’s not listed.

And I should say that if you are selling a highly desirable item at rock bottom prices yes the item I think would sell.

However if you are like thousands of ebay sellers and you are listing your items you are facing a lot of competition.

One of the ways to stand out is to write an ebay guide related to the products you are selling.

So if you offer women’s shoes you could write a guide on how to know what shoe size your are!

If you sell winter coats, a guide on what’s the warmest coat might be a good fit.

The guide once published is not only available to ebay sellers it’s fed to other search engines so it can be picked up by Google,Yahoo,Bing etc..

To write a successful guide be sure to put your item in the guide’s title and pick the correct ebay categories to tag your guide.

If I’m selling Party Shoes I want Party Shoes in the title of my guide and I’d want to tag women’s shoes.

The tag function is at the bottom of the writing an ebay guide template.

Once published your items that are related to your ebay guide will appear at the bottom of your guide helping to increase customer traffic to your offerings.

You can write an effective guide in under 30 minutes and your items will reap the results of increased search results on the internet which can mean  more SALES for you!

Customers are people that matter.

I was in a favorite local restaurant with my husband this past week. I watched the owner move about greeting people.
He stopped by numerous tables checking on how they liked their food and making pleasant conversation.
He did not sell anything.
He smile, he chatted and brought water to one table rather than calling a bus boy.
He was actively engaged and caring with each individual. It was genuine.
This small restaurant in the brutally competitive marketplace that New York City is has been in business for over 35 years.
Want to guess why?
Yes they have a good location, food and service but I’ve seen dozens of similar restaurants come and go over the years.
This restaurant succeeds where have many have failed because of one very important word – care. This restaurant’s  center is care for it’s customers. It starts with the owner.
Care does matters. Care shows in how you list your products, ship and all communications with your shoppers.

Want repeat customers? Care.

Showing care is as simple as a glass of water in a restaurant.
