There is always room for improvement. I want to share some of the secrets that I have discovered to make my eBay eBook auctions better. By making them better, I am making more money! I hope they can do the same for you.

Work Hard On Your Auction Description

After all, you only have to make this one time.  You can sell THOUSANDS of eBooks with one auction listing so put some work into it. Create yourself a standard auction template to work from. This way all of your items will look neat and professional. Don't just put up the sales page that came with an eBook you purchased! Edit that sales page and insert it into your own auction template.  Create your own sales pitch after reading the eBook and you will sell more copies than your competition.

Focus On Your Title

The title is the first thing an eBay buyer will see. If this doesn't get them to click on your listing its over! Chances are, there are many similar eBooks to yours or even multiple copies of the eBook you are selling. Your title must grab attention to your listing or it will not get looked at! Find good search keywords for the eBook's subject and work them into a 55 character sales pitch.

Be Unique

I have noticed that when I completely re write a sales page for an eBook I sell more. When I inject my personality into the auction description and tell people what I like about the items I sell more. You have to stand out and above the crowd...being unique is a great way and its free!

Give Away GOOD Extras

Everyone loves a deal and everyone loves something for free. Does it really hurt you to give away a couple eBooks with every purchase? No, of course it doesn't! Pick some of your highest converting eBooks and place then on your auction listing as free bonus gifts. If a buyer is on the fence about your listing, a free gift will often push them to the buy it now button. I have also found that giving away bonus items at my download pages has been quite effective.
