Making Money On eBay Using The Free Sale Model

By Duane Hope

One of our secret weapons to making money on eBay is the FREE SALE model and when used correctly - it creates a “Tsunami” effect that instantly brings in a wave of customers flooding your eBay business with daily consistant sales.

Now when we first tested this business model out, it actually worked almost to good. Let me explain…

When I was first playing around with this “idea”, I decided to test it on one of our smaller “test businesses”. This particular business was averaging about 2 sales per day but when I fliped the switch on it immediately went to 11 sales the next day (and still going strong).

And when this happened it apparently threw up a “red flag” and eBay called us to verify that the sales were legit and to make sure that nobody had hacked into our account.

Watch the video below to see how this model creates a “Tsunami” effect that will help you sell on eBay!

*WARNING*
(The Free Sale Model ONLY works if you have traffic)

 

 

The Free Sale Model works in any market – at any time – anywhere in the world regardless of what you’re selling on eBay (as long as you have traffic :lol: ).

And when mixed in correctly with the right traffic, conversion and customer service skills – it becomes lethal enough that you can easily dominate your market!

Okay – that’s it for this post.

Hi Duane,

I think your info is great and really helpful. I like the idea you have here and would love to learn more about the free and sale promotions, and how to deliver them and all that good stuff.

Also, can this work outside of Ebay? I have 2 ecommerce sites selling childrens products. I am working on getting more traffic to my sites and more importantly I am working on trying to convert the traffic to sales.

Hey Terry,

Thanks for creating the time to post your thoughts and I’m glad you enjoyed the video….

I’m a little confused on what you meant by the $97.00 but if I get enough interest (people posting that they want this) then I will create the training videos over the next several weeks and post them right here on the blog for free.

And listen, when Heather and I first started – we didn’t make a dime for the first 3-5 months because we were very ignorant and uneducated about eBay (also we were taught totally wrong).

But today it’s a different story – so hang in there! I believe in YOU!

First video was very helpful.

Duane, this was pretty good…held my attention. I am interested in knowing more about the Free Sale model to see if it would work for me. Also appreciated the video being just over 7 minutes…..just enough!

Comment by Duane Hope
2009-08-14 02:07:01

Hi Karen,

It’s a blessing to receive your feedback. I appreciate you taking the time out to post.

The FREE / SALE Model will work in any market – at any time – anywhere in the world. It’s just in how you structure, package and deliver it….

And you’re welcome for the 7 minute video. My goal was to keep it under 8 minutes so I guess I had a few seconds to spare :-)

Me again… Interesting idea, not real sure how much help its going to be until you explain the rest of it.

I’m in the catagory of money is tight and times are hard, so no clue how I can afford to give free shipping much less have a sale.

I just need any help that makes me more sales, at any level beyond what I’m doing now. Whether its $100/week or $10,000/week I’ll be happy with it….

Comment by Duane Hope
2009-08-15 01:23:49

Hi Jim,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And I can understand where you’re at ….

Questions…..

Whats your “daily” traffic numbers?

How many “sales” do you make a day, week, month?

Whats’ your “average” sale price per item?

Whats your “average” profit margin?

Is your business “fixed price” or “auction style”?

Is it an eBay store, live auctions or both?

Respond to my private email address with your answers…

Blessings – Duane

Duane,

Go from 2 sales per day to 11 sales per day overnight on a $150 item? Man – I know you’re brilliant but how in the world did you do THAT? I’m dieing to find out! Please don’t make me wait for “. . .the next few weeks.” to find out!

Hi Jim,

Thanks buddy for creating the time to post your thoughts. I appreciate your time and if I get enough people interested to justify the investment of time to create the videos, then it won’t be long….

The FREE / SALE didn’t happen by accident. It started as an “idea” and then it was desire, faith and action that carried it out.

Blessings – Duane

Hi Duane, would love to hear much more about your free sale model. We’ve been doing biz on eBay for 4 years in a niche market. Got to bronze level Powersellers fairly fast but lost it due to illness, etc. Right now, have limited time and resources but we’re still selling and doing only about 6K/year. Would like to get to 25-50K.

By the way, thanks for the ebook and videos. All have provided better and more specific info on how to succeed on eBay than everything else we’ve ever read or seen on the same subject. Your ‘free’ stuff, in our opinion, has provided more value than stuff we’ve paid for.

Please keep the good info coming and it would be appreciated if you could provide more ‘advanced’ info ( like on driving traffic, finding good suppliers, the ‘free/sale’ model, etc. ) as well as the basics.

You’re appreciated and my wife and I are looking forward to the release of your product!

Hi Ron,

I’m humbled….

Your kind words and gratitude of appreciation for the free course on the “7 Deadliest eBay Sins” and videos has blessed me with a huge smile :-)

And you’re very welcome too!

I will be teaching advanced and super advanced stratigies soon but for now I have to get a feel for where everybody is at…..

And I’m purposely holding off of the release of the “Auction Market Blueprint” and other courses for several more weeks until I’m sure that people are ready for this level of success.

Thanks for being so open in sharing your thoughts…

Blessings – Duane

Hi Duane,
Nice video, thank you. Just one point, when you talk about “structuring” your product, do you mean the way the product is sold through the sales blurb, or are you talking about branding the product? Your videos are excellent, I really enjoy them. If you’re going to create a video series, then go for it. I’m currently changing my own ebay business around by introducing more branding. You’re right about trying to compete on price on ebay. It’s a recipe for disaster.
The reasons you can’t compete on price are because there’s big volume sellers buying cheap and selling cheap, there’s companies using ebay to dump stock on and there’s just people who don’t know what they’re doing and are selling at a loss.
I never compete on price. Branding and structuring are the way to beat price. I’d love to see more videos from you. They’re very informative.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the compliments and for sharing your thoughts. You are very correct…in that you never beat your competition by playing the undercut price game. It’s a recipe for disaster.

You always beat them by bringing more “value” to the market….

I appreciate your time Paul!

Duane,

I find you information stimulating, and would love to know more about your free/sale model.

I have been selling on e-bay for a little over a year, and struggle to make a profit after all the fees. My goal is to net 3,000/month.

Thank you for taking the time to share your information, it is enlightening.

Many Blessings
Victoria

Congratulations on your one year anniversary selling on eBay! I want you to know that $3000.00 a month is a great goal and very easily achievable with the right plan.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts….

Hi Duane,

I like your info.

Sally Milo introduced me she does design work for my stores.

The “seven sins ebook” was a good read and made me really look at the way my listings are presented. My listings are by far the the best looking of all my compeditors, but they play the under cut game which has a huge effect on my sales. I need to structure my listings better and add several tweeks to get more people to trust my store and reputation over the under cut gang.

I would like to know more about the free sales method and more.

Regards
Darrell

Hi Darrell,

Welcome aboard and thank you for the compliment on the “7 Deadliest eBay Sins Course!

Sally does great design work and has a good understanding of marketing.

Make sure you also watch the 3 videos on “Six-Figure Foundation”. This is very important and sets the stage for the other videos. You can see them here:

http://www.undergroundauctionlab.com/six-figure-foundation-to-making-money-on-ebay/

I will have the other videos posted soon.

Thanks for taking the time to post!

Hi Clara,

Thank you for the wonderful compliment and for watching the videos. I really appreciate your time and thoughts …. :-)

Over the next several weeks I’ll be posting the rest of these videos to the FREE SALE Model that will help you make money on eBay regardless of what you sell on eBay.

I loved your 7 Deadliest eBay Sins ebook, which I recently read.

I have sold off and on ebay for about two years. It was how I made money for Christmas and birthdays. I was working part-time doing sales, but the management was replaced for the worse. I was looking for away to reap the same income without having to be away from my family all the time. My husband suggested ebay. We’ve had great success for starting small and I’ve earned more than my previous monthly income and hoping to expand that.

Starting small, we have about $700 in profit in our first month. By February, we hope to open a store, but for now we do 80% Auctions, 20% Fixed Price.

Your ebook fell into my life at the exact moment I needed it to- when those around me were prompting me to commit many of the 7 sins. Thank you for validating what I already knew and teaching me some things I didn’t. It is wonderful of you to share your wisdom with us!

I was pleased to see the link to this video in my inbox today, immediately following it! Glad I did. I would love an in depth guide to structuring, packaging and delivering in the free sale model.

I’d also love to know how to drive more traffic to my auction listings. (If you haven’t shared already, I need to read previous posts!) Thanks again for your efforts!!

Hi Carrie,

Congratulations on your eBay business :-) ! And I applaud you for making it happen. What a great first month!

Keep trusting your intuitive senses and don’t follow the crowd regardless of what influences around you might be saying. The crowd doesn’t know how to sell on eBay yet alone make money selling on eBay.

And Thank YOU for sharing your thoughts about the 7 Deadliest eBay Sins course. It’s humbling to know that it has made a difference.

Here is a list of videos you can watch right now that will help you make money on eBay:

Establish Your Offer

Structure Your Offer

Package Your Offer

Deliver Your Offer (coming soon)

I’ll have plenty of training coming soon on “how to dominate the traffic on eBay”. So stay tune….

Duane

I have bought, but never sold anything on ebay and have been a member since 2003. Now that I am nearing retirement age, I have been looking at ebay guru’s that tout more or less the same “how to” information I can find on ebay’s website.

I always saw a problem of how do I compete with sellers that drop their prices so low there is no real profit and I can’t remain competitive? This problem seems to be prevasive on ebay. Your solution is of great interest to me.

Can’t wait for the next video.

Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for stopping by and viewing the videos. I appreciate you taking the time to post your thoughts too. It let’s me know that I am connecting with you and what you need help with.

You’re right, most of everything that you’ll see out there about “how to make money on eBay” is usually old rehashed-lame stuff that really doesn’t teach someone the real foundation to building a highly successful eBay business.

And you’re also right about how people sell on eBay. Most people undercut the price thinking this adds VALUE and it’s the only way to succeed. Unfortunately, this is totally wrong and will attract all the wrong customers (more on this in future posts)……

The next videos are now done and you can view them here:

Establish Your Offer

Structure Your Offer

Package Your Offer

Deliver Your Offer (coming soon)

Blessings – Duane Hope

Hi Duane,

Thanks for the info. I too would be interested in the videos on the “FREE/SALE” model. I have been on eBay for quite some time, but just using it as a “garage sale”. I’m interested in developing a business where I can make some “real” money, and make my time and effort worthwhile.

So, any help is appreciated!

Thank you for your time!

Comment by Duane Hope
2009-12-01 23:31:05

Hi Tina,

You’re Welcome!

And Thank You for stopping by and taking the time to share your comment. I really appreciate it!

Your time is precious and there is no way to put a “price” value on it. So make sure that the market that you enter into will create you real wealth. I have plenty more video training coming that will help you make money on eBay with a real eBay business….

The best part about the FREE SALE model is that it will show you how to set up your “offer” (the item that you’re selling on eBay) correctly the first time around – regardless of what you decide to sell on eBay.

Have a great week!

Blessings – Duane Hope

Hey Duane,

It’s exciting to see these videos and notice that you’re taking the time to respond to everyone. I’m very interested in learning more, so if your posting I’m watching. Thanks again Duane.

God Bless

Hi Matthew,

I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. And thank you for complimenting me on responding to everyone’s comments.

It’s all about providing superior value and making sure that each person truly knows that they are indeed important.

And yes, I haven’t been posting the last several weeks due to a new product that I’ll be releasing in the next coming weeks.

I’ve been so excited about getting it done and in the hands of other eBay sellers simply because this product is our exact Secret Auction Formula that we’ve used to build and launch all of our eBay businesses into the six-figure zone.

And other than our $10,000.00 coaching students, we have never shared this secret formula before with anyone (never).

Anyway, I’ll be posting other videos here shortly so keep your eyes peeled for my emails….

Have a great day :-) !

Blessings – Duane Hope

Here are links to the next videos of the FREE SALE model….

Establish Your Offer

Structure Your Offer

Package Your Offer

Deliver Your Offer (coming soon)

Remember – regardless of what you sell on eBay, the FREE SALE model will teach you how you can charge more, sell more and make more money on eBay than your competition who sells the exact same items…..

Best Wishes!

I am wondering why you are doing all these for free, but I am very glad that you do.

I’ve been selling on eBay for 7 years and silently watched as my competitors grow really big and leave me behind to compete with the new sellers who really lower down their prices.

I have been consistently a bronze power seller (used to be silver) but my business doesn’t seem to grow. I would like to find out which areas I can improve on before I am swallowed by the new sellers.

Please continue with your quality free stuff, I have already spent a ton on a lot of stuff with very little progress!

I will always look forward to new videos from you!

God bless you!
