<p>Thanks for the kind words about the report I sent you yesterday. You&#8217;re Welcome!<br />
As I have learned different internet marketing strategies over the years, I always come back to how they can relate to eBay sellers. List Building is no different.</p>
<p>In fact, some of you are asking the same question&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;As an eBay seller, WHY should I pay attention to something like building a mailing list?</strong></em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Your mailing list is a very powerful tool that helps build relationship with not just your customers&#8230; but those that just visit your listings and never bid!</p>
<p>Your goal quickly shifts from just selling a product&#8230; to getting eBay visitors to join your mailing list. Why?</p>
<p>So you have an opportunity to build relationship with them. People are much more likely to buy from someone they trust.</p>
<p>When your goal, then, is to get them to join your mailing list&#8230; and you learn the skill of selling to that list &#8211; suddenly whether or not your listings sell on eBay isn&#8217;t so important anymore. You are more concerned with harnessing the traffic from your auctions.</p>
<p>Look at it this way&#8230;<br />
Let&#8217;s say you have an item listed on eBay and you are thinking you&#8217;ll get $40 profit once it sells.</p>
<p><strong>Scenario #1:</strong><br />
In the first scenario, you don&#8217;t have a mailing list or a blog. You are solely listing items on eBay for your business.<br />
You are happy to have made an easy 40 bucks&#8230; and hope the buyer considers your items for future purchases.</p>
<p><strong>Scenario #2:</strong><br />
In this scenario, you have a mailing list&#8230; and you have a system in place to drive those visiting your auctions to a webpage that gives them an incentive to join your list.</p>{"id":195,"date":"2010-04-01T00:26:34","date_gmt":"2010-04-01T08:26:34","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/?p=195"},"modified":"2010-04-01T00:26:34","modified_gmt":"2010-04-01T08:26:34","slug":"an-excellent-question-you-should-be-asking-about-your-ebay-business","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/an-excellent-question-you-should-be-asking-about-your-ebay-business\/","title":{"rendered":"An Excellent Question You Should Be Asking About Your eBay Business"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks for the kind words about the report I sent you yesterday.
