Make Money with eBay Affiliate Niche Website Builder Software
By Will Thompson | July 21, 2008
So just what exactly is an eBay affiliate program you may be asking? Well, actually it’s fairly simple. If you send anyone to eBay from your website or link, and they sign up or buy anything, you make commissions.
Ebay provides a somewhat brief tutorial and great tools devoted to helping you set up your links and/or RSS feeds to design into your website. If you become a member of the most innovative and successful affiliate program on the Web and drive your traffic to eBay, you will earn 50% to 75% commission on eBay’s revenue from every sale made from that customer and $25 to $35 commissions per each new active member that signs up.
Your profit from these sales should not be misinterpreted as a percentage of the total sale of the item. You will make a percentage of only the profit eBay makes from the sale. For example, let imagine that someone clicks on a link from your website, goes to eBay, signs up as a new member, and makes a bid on something that is $100. They end up winning with that bid, and then eBay will make, let’s guess $10 from that sale. When eBay makes $10, you will make 50% to 75% of that amount as your commission. This percentage is based on how many sales you make a month as an eBay affiliate.
In the end you would make $25 from the sign up, plus a possible $7.50(75%) commission off the sale, for a total of $32.50 (these are ONLY estimated amounts given as example ONLY.) Not too bad considering your are now an eBay business, with no inventory, no shipping, no dropshipping, and no having to deal with customer satisfaction. You are making profits from everyone else’s hard work. It’s so easy it almost seems unfair.
How do you increase your sales/earnings? Simple, this is what eBay suggests: Get more traffic to your website. To accomplish this, paid search traffic might be an option that you consider, however natural search engine traffic resulting from optimization can be a free way to do this.
Things to DO to increase natural traffic: 1. Create unique content! 2. Repeat relevant keywords throughout your pages 3. Refresh content regularly! Robots and users like new content 4. Use title tags - page titles; 6-10 words of relevant keywords found throughout the page 5. Use short named URL and file names to enable search engines to crawl your site 6. Utilize your error pages to redirect users that are “lost” 7. Increase the relevance of your links: use “Go to eBay!” instead of “Click here!” 8. Ask other relevant websites to point to your site 9. Submit your site to the engines: let search engines know about you! 10. Utilize competitive research to learn more about online marketing direct from the competition Don’t Do These Things: 1. Make use of frames: they are often too complex for crawlers to index 2. Use too many search-box navigation or drop down menus:crawlers are incapable of following them 3. Display hidden / invisible text: it is often looked at as “cheating” by search engines user referral Take advantage of eBay’s brand
Making money as an eBay affiliate takes very little effort. Aside from actually having a website, all you need to do is send traffic to eBay from your niche site. This can be done by more advanced marketers by building their own websites and inserting the RSS code from eBay’s fees from their editor kit tool. Or if you are a less experienced internet entrepreneur, or you just want to save time, you can find a program that will do all the hard work for you that is already optimized ready to go with code built in.
Either way, you are very likely to find yourself seeing results in a very short period of time. This is because, if done intelligently and correctly, your website will have solid products with strong, unique content that is constantly updating itself and changing, which the search engines just LOVE. And this means your website will be getting really nice, natural traffic for good niches and keywords.
