In This Week's Issue
Thought for the Day
Welcome from the Publisher Welcome to another issue
of Auction Riches News! Last week I told you about a new package I was using on the back end of my subscription form that is offered One Time to my web site subscribers. It's been doing very well for me and I'd like to give you the opportunity one more time to get your hands on the same package. It's only fair since you are already subscribed. You can see it at http://www.auctionriches.com/otoffer Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy this week's issue!
Regards, Featured Article 6 Tips To More eBay Profits 1. Create an "About Me" page and link to it from your auctions. Personalize your About Me page and tell your visitor a little about you. Include a photo of yourself if possible, this helps the bidder feel you're "real". Link to your other auctions from this page as well, and if you have a website, you can link to it too. You can also put affiliate links on your About Me page to point your visitors to other products, ezines, sites, that you feel they may be interested in. This way if they follow the link and make a purchase, you earn a commission. For example, you could put something like: "Get Auction Riches News delivered weekly" and link to that text using your AuctionRiches.com affiliate ID. 2. Offer a shipping discount if bidders purchase more than one item from you. This will encourage them to check out your other auctions and increase your chances of selling more to them. Include an easy to find link in your auction description that leads to your other auctions. You may have something for sale they didn't know they wanted! 3. Invite your auction visitor to join your mailing list. You can send out occasional emails pertaining to your new auction listings, industry news concerning any items you specialize in, use affiliate links to information on products or websites that they may be interested in, etc. Include a subscription box or link on your About Me page and also mention it in any emails you may send to them. An email list is VERY valuable so use every opportunity to build it, but only put people on your mailing list if they choose to be put there. Spamming is not only against eBay rules... it's just plain rude. 4. Email your customer after you've shipped the item and let them know it has shipped and how. Let them know if they have any problems or don't receive the item, to please contact you. This would be a good time to let them know that their positive feedback is appreciated and will be reciprocated. They will appreciate your attentiveness. 5. Always make sure you include a slip of paper with the items you ship. It should contain a short "Thank You" for their purchase, your eBay name, eBay Store name, website address, contact information, etc. You may even want to include an advertisement or discount coupon for something else you sell. You'd be surprised how this can not only increase your feedback rate, but your customer return rate as well. You can print these out on your home printer or better yet, do what I do and have business cards created with all the pertinent info. They are more likely to hold on to a business card than a piece of paper. I get my business cards online Free at Vistaprint.com 6. Once you leave feedback, you can send your customer an email letting them know that you left them positive feedback. Thanking them once again for their business and inviting them to visit your auctions, your website and/or subscribe to your mailing list. By using these opportunities to personalize the transaction, you'll make it more pleasurable and memorable for the customer, and chances are, they will visit your auctions and buy from you again!Auction News Bits

Laugh a Little
A woman brought a very limp
duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she lay her pet on the
table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to
the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his
head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, your Duck Cuddles has
passed away.
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," he replied. "How can you be so sure," she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet rolled his eyes, turned around, and left the room, and returned a few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table, and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it out, and returned a few moments later with a cat! The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly, and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!!" The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150.00." |
