A Quick Note…
Are you looking for a step-by-step program to help you get started with a blog to create new revenue for your eBay business? Discounted Charter Memberships are almost gone over at http://www.StartHereProgram.com/blogging
Look at what Deena had to say about the Start Here Blogging program for eBayers:
“Hi, Jenni,
Thank you!
I just wanted to tell you what an AWESOME job you’re doing with the Blog lesson system.
I’m about to start Lesson 9, and I just can’t believe all the information, step-by-step instructions, knowledge, and advice you are providing.
I would have had to read a zillion books and web sites to learn about it, and still never be able to narrow it down and get it done. Just poking around other web sites leads to mass confusion and eventual inaction.
I’m looking forward to the next lessons…
Thanks again for a great program – I know you put a tremendous amount of work into it, and I hope it brings you wealth and fame!”

Back To The Basics:
Getting Visitors To Your About Me Page
Last week we talked about how you could be using your About Me page to grow your eBay business. [You can read that article here if you missed it:
http://jennihunt.com/blog/auction-strategists-back-to-the-basics-with-your-about-me-page/ ]
Today I wanted to dig a little deeper and suggest ways to actually get your auction visitors to your eBay About Me page.
Every listing you have on eBay already has a link for your visitors to see your other About Me page… and you will get some traffic this way; however, to really take it up a notch, you have to take matters into your own hands. 😉
EBay is very picky about what they allow in your listings… especially when it comes to linking to another webpage. But, they do allow you to link within eBay to your About Me page… it is up to you to take advantage of this.
At the top of every listing you have on eBay you should have a link to your About Me page. This is in addition to the link eBay already puts on your page next to your ID.
Before I show any pictures… have a description… or talk about anything specific to the item I’m selling, I have a link to my About Me page.
But, it doesn’t just say –
“Click To Learn More About Me”…
or
“Visit My About Me Page”…
The text that links to your About Me page MUST entice your visitors to click.
Sure, some will click because they want to know more about me as a seller — but, you will have a much higher click rate if you entice them with something for THEM.
Here is what I say on most of my listings…
“Find Out How I Find Hot Children’s Items To Resell on Ebay… Click Here!”
I give my visitors a reason to click… and then I tell them to click.
Brainstorm a bit about what incentive you could give your visitors. What might they be interested in?
Here are some ideas to get those wheels turning…
– Learn How To Beat Any Video Game…
– Find Out How To Remove Any Stain Out Of Your Kids’ Clothing…
– How To Make Your Own…
– click Here To Start Your Own…
Your visitors will click on that link and get to your About Me page… where you will tell them how they can obtain the information they are now looking for. In exchange you get their email address and then have the start of a relationship with your potential customer!
We’ll cover the process of setting this up and delivering your information (even in your sleep) in the coming weeks.
For now – nail down the incentive you want to use to get your auction visitors to click over to your About Me page.
