Six-Figure Foundation To Making Money On eBay

By Duane Hope

Okay, so before you can begin making money on eBay using the FREE SALE business model – we need to cover the foundation and “establish the offer” first.

If we don’t then when it comes time to structure, package and deliver your offer it won’t make sense and you’ll miss the boat and not know how to make money on eBay with what I’m teaching you.

( And that’s the whole reason of me investing the time to create these videos for you is so that you can go right out and make money on eBay with what your learning).

Listen closely…..

Regardless if you decide to use the FREE SALE business model or not to make money on eBay, what I’m sharing with you today is our “six-figure foundation” that we use to build all of our eBay businesses from. And currently – all of our businesses create six-figures annually and have been for the past 5 years.

Now I didn’t share that with you to be boastful or to brag. I shared that simply because I want you to understand that this stuff works regardless of what you sell on eBay. It’s not any of that hype, fluff or funny stuff. It will make you thousands upon hundreds of thousands of dollars….

I have students who have gladly invested 3K-5K just to learn the “six-figure foundation” that I’m teaching you today. So take it seriously and more importantly – when your done watching the videos go out and apply what you’ve learned in your eBay business……

(Side Note: There’s no way to teach this amount of meat in a 2-3 minute video. So I’ve broken it up into bit sized chunks so you can digest it easier. Make sure you watch all 3 videos.)

Man, you’ve done it again! The whole VALUE concept is something I am interested in & you’ve shown me how to apply this to my upcoming new eBay venture. Of course, I want more & more from you so I can reach my dreams!

Great stuff Duane! I got it! And all this time I thought that the only reason folks went to eBay was to find the cheapest price. I was wrong! There are buyers who shop eBay for the best deal – which is usually not the cheapest price. The best deal includes their confidence in the seller to keep his promises, deliver a quality product, protect them if something goes wrong, be someone they can rely on, and have a buying experience that leaves them feeling good. When I go out to buy a burger I don’t shop for the cheapest price. I shop for the best eating experience. If it doesn’t taste good or if the waitress is surely I’m outta there! Now, how about that FREE/SALE post? I can’t hold my breath much longer.

Hi Jim, You are absolutely correct! eBay is a "marketplace" of 88 million buyers strong each month. Most people aren’t looking for the "cheapest price". They are looking for the best "value" (overall experience).

I can charge and make 80% to 110% more than my nearest competitors by upping the anti of "Value" that my customers receive. I’ll cover more of this in future videos..

Thanks for your comment and taking the time to post! Blessings – Duane

I think I am starting to get it…do you want to eat a .99 burger at a cheap burger joint were the service is slow, the packaging is slopped together, it taste bland cause nothing more was added..or do you want to buy a better burger and pay a couple bucks more, for better service, where they put care into making it, serve it with a smile and add extra toppings to it?

Carls Jr or McDonnals?..I pick Carls Jr, better tasting burgers and better eating experience.

Hi Julie,

You got it! Now you’re on the right track….

Regardless of what you sell on eBay, once you “get it” – the money will always come with the right customers…

Glad you enjoyed the videos :-) ! And thanks for taking the time to post.

Duane, Enjoyed the videos. Those are ideas that can be applied to any business, which I have several. I am new at this and am just getting started. Have you done a video about the words used on the auction page for selling your item. Everyone that I have listened to has been vague on the key words needed. What I would like to see is several wrong keywords and the best ones to build an outstanding page. Thanks Jim

Comment by Duane Hope
2009-08-27 18:19:43

Hey Jim,

I really appreciate you taking the time out to post your comment. And I’m glad that you found “value” in the videos and enjoyed them.

As far as keywords on your auction page, there is NO benefit to doing this. eBay’s “smart search engine” doesn’t even look at keywords on an auction page.

Your traffic will start with your “title box” and this is the “gate” that opens you up to the enormous floods of traffic on ebay.

I’ll be posting on how we dominate the traffic on eBay in all of our businesses in the weeks coming.

Thanks again!

Blessings – Duane

Thanks and take care!

You put into words, what was difficult for me to explain to those who thought ebay was all about “cheapest price”.

I learned alot about creating value when I was in network marketing, so what I did when I started ebay (and still use ebay) was this:

1. when I started, I TOLD people I was new to selling & despite the mythe that you HAVE to be a powerseller to command more money for the experinece, I was making atleast %50 to %80 more than the average sell price for ANY particular item.

2. Provide EXCEPTIONAL customer service

3. Answer any and ALL questions in detail, not the standerd one sentence answer.

4. When I started, I learned to offer 30 day money back gaurnatees right off the back.

5. I offer to pay for the shipping BACK to me if item is not as I describe in my auctions. I don’t make my buyers pay!

6. I’ve branded myself as, JoeDaEbayKing – which positions me as an expert in doing business on ebay (no one gave me this title, I decided to become the expert).

7. I promise super fast shipping and that I ship next day ALWAYS (and I actually do).

8. I send my buyers with their purchase thank you notes and telling them how awesome they are for being a great ebayer.

9. I state in my auctions that I ALWAYS leave feedback first (regardless if they leave any back – making their feedback page standout with a nice custom made feedback reply)

10. Did I mention I brand myself and all the pictures I take with my ebay name on it?

It’s a little extra work to give them what Duane calls an “experinece”, and after watching this video, apparently I was already doing it right.

I tell alot of people who ask me how I’m able to make money selling on ebay when they keep raising there fees, and my response is always the same…”I make to much money to care” & “I’m not afraid of paying $15-$20 for a $100-$200 profit”.

And how do I make that kind of money?

By giving people the ultimate buying experinece. I don’t pidgeonhole myself in to a commodity ebay seller. I’m a professional, and I’m not afraid to let buyers know and show it.

The research is important for me to get a ball park figure of what I can charge for the “item” being purchased, but I always charge more for the “Experience” of doing business with me.

Great videos man!

Hi Joe,

Congratulations on your success! And you’re absolutely correct in everything you mentioned above.

It’s not by accident or coincident that you are successful. It happened on purpose….and that purpose is simply because YOU understand “experience” and “value” to the “T” and you bring it to the marketplace.

Thanks for creating the time out of your life to post your thoughts. I would encourage everyone who reads what you wrote to read it several times.

Blessings – Duane

Just wanted to say I read over your manual and wow!

Now that I sit back and think back to all the times when I was thinking, what can I do different to make ebay work for me. I was doing 5 of the 7 sins. Honestly I’ve changed the way I’m thinking and my sales have increased at a nice rate.

Thanks for everything. I’m glad to see someone took their time to actually give perfect information that wasn’t BS. Lets give it up for Duane

Thanks Brother, Mike

Hi Mike,

I really appreciate you creating the time to read the “7 Deadliest eBay Sins” manual and for posting your thoughts about it.

The important thing here is that you now know “what’s” killing your business and from the sounds of it – you’ve already made some changes and seen sales increase at a nice rate (way to go!!).

And you’re right – once you change your “thinking”, everything else just magically changes too…

Keep it up Mike!!

Blessings – Duane

Hi Karen,

It’s humbling to hear that the videos are priceless and that the information has been able to help you.

As long as there is enough interest – I will be creating and posting more videos about structuring, packaging and delivering your offer that will absolutely help you make money on eBay regardless of what you sell on eBay.

I may not be able to post as ofetn as I would like too right now simply because the creation and soon-to-be-released Auction Market Blueprint Course is taking a lot of my time right now but I will post them by next week.

Thanks for creating the time to post your thoughts Karen. It’s a blessing!

Blessings – Duane

Hi Duane,
I understand everything you say in the video and I absolutley agree with the value concept. Now I need to know when you sell items on ebay and you sell at say 100% more than your nearest competitor do you list your items as buy now for this price or public auction and the market drives your price because of your overall offer.

regards

Hi Milan,

Thanks for taking your time to watch the videos and post your thoughts. I appreciate you very much…. :-)

As to your question (it was a good one too!), all of of our eBay auctions in all of our eBay businesses are “fixed priced”.

We do not use “auction style” auctions for many reasons but mainly because we tested and found that in today’s times most people want it now. They don’t want to bid and then wait to see if they won. They don’t have time for that.

I hope this helps…

Blessings – Duane Hope
