Business Link eBay Workshop Reeds Hotel Barton Upon Humber

Excellent turnout for the Business Link eBay Workshop Reeds Hotel Barton Upon Humber and what a fantastic venue too it was stunning.

We had a very good set of questions firing from all angles and I hope I managed to answer them for you satisfactorily.

A quick reminder on the keywords ensure that you use strong keywords that reflect the products you sell and not fancy sentences in the shops description section.

Strong simple keywords will attract buyers silly words such as we sell bargain galore or wonderful items do not bring in traffic who will type these types of words when searching for products? NO ONE

Keep keywords for your eBay business simple and get into the habit of thinking like a customer what words will a client use to fing your products?

Once again thanks for the turnout

John

Thank you for a fantastic turnout at the Business Link Advanced eBay Workshop which was a joint Venture with the Federation Of Small Business thank you all for the excellent feedback about the workshop.

I noticed from the delegate list that there were many types of businesses ranging from clothing to art, furniture and even one or two from the service industry whatever your product or service you can certainly use eBay to promote and get your message across a very large audience indeed.

But remember its up to you to make it happen I would suggest start smallish gather pace and grow always dipping in and out of the business center which hosts a range of excellent eBay business information to help aid your eBay business.

For your first few sales I would suggest that you list your items using eBay’s sell your item form which you can access from the sell tab at the top of the page, once your business grows you may want to consider using Turbo Lister which you can list off-line as well as in bulk you can learn more about Turbo Lister Here.

Selling manager is a great way to keep track of your business with tools such as what’s been paid what’s not what needs to be posted message centre and many other handy features that make your eBay business a breeze to keep an eye on, download the free version and use that first before graduating to the paid one more about selling manager here

Dont forget I am here to help and support you for 12 weeks please  try to ask your question about eBay here on my blog if you can just use the comments section, or if you prefer you can email me.

Once again I thank you for your attention and good luck with your eBay business.

Business Link Yorkshire Advanced eBay Trading Workshop Thirsk Racecourse

Thank you all for an excellent turnout and thanks for making the workshop a success.

Hopefully you have all received your presentations if not please let me know and I’ll Get one of to you.

Selling on eBay can be very lucrative for you all but you must apply yourself nothing happens until you make it happen.

A few of you have been writing to me asking for advice on to attain stock and more importantly where from?

This of course is the 64 million dollar question you will find in your area wholesale suppliers Auction houses car boot Sales flee markets and many other avenues on your doorstep Even retailers are constantly looking to shift inventory to make way for new stock or generate cash flow why not call in on local retailers drop in a business card make yourself know.

Avoid buying goods from China until you have gained some buying experience you could make a costly mistake.

Why not take a look at the wholesale category on eBay and only trade in things you know something about this way you increase your chances of success these should be enough to get you going.

In the meantime stay safe trade safe and good luck.

Business Link Yorkshire Advanced eBay workshop Inovation Centre Europarc Grimsby

Hi all thanks for a fantastic turnout at the inovation Centre Europarc Grimsby.

Apart from 3 negative feedbacks about the event all the others where positive and I thank you all for your fantastic comments regarding the workshop and how beneficial it was to you thanks.

My understanding was that the 3 people who were there were not actually sat in the course to learn how to sell effectively on eBay but rather to watch what I was doing they apparently thought that the presentation was erratic.

What I did not expect was the amount of delegates turning up without any prior knowledge of eBay selling which numbered around 75% of the workshop against 25% who attended the basic selling workshop and made the presentation very difficult to coordinate as trying to strike a fine balance for existing sellers and new sellers alike is a very hard thing to do at an advanced workshop.

Personally I thought it went brilliant sure I had to flick from page going back and forth the reason for this is that I am not a selfish person I do my best to keep everyone happy at different levels in these workshops and I have to say I am glad I took this action to flick in and out and once again I am proved right because had I taken the systematic approach I would have endured a majority of negative feedback a pat on the back then for me for keeping you all happy (expect the 3 ).

I take it that you all read the notes on Business Links information booklet regarding this workshop and that you were of the understanding that it was for eBay shops learning rather than basic learning.

I must say apart from the 3 watchers all of you who are looking to start an eBay business thought the workshop was excellent and for this I am grateful because as you are the ones who are so important this is all that matters to me thanks again for the excellent awesome feedback.

Dont forget if you need an electronic copy of the handouts email me and let me know and in the meantime if you have any questions please ask.

Here are some articles you may find interesting
