Did you know that there are hundreds of people making a living online selling nothing on Ebay? That’s right, they are selling nothing physical. They deal in digital products like ebooks (digital books), software and even membership sites. In this article, we’ll look at the secrets of how to create an ‘information empire’ from scratch on Ebay.
In recent years, Ebay added a new option to their list of item categories, that of ‘Information Products’. This typically meant products like ebooks. Some Ebay sellers make a living online selling information packaged in ebooks.
There are two ways to create an information empire on Ebay. You can use it to build a valuable subscriber list which you can market to over and over again, or you can make direct profits from information products in the style of a “normal” business.
The first business model is rather unorthodox, but many Ebay sellers are using it with great success. If you’ve been on Ebay for a while, you might have seen these ebooks priced at what seem like ridiculous amounts of $0.01.
At first, you might be thinking, “Wow these Ebay sellers must be out of their minds!” But what these Ebay sellers are doing is building a list of buyers who have shown they have a credit card or Paypal account and are comfortable making payments (no matter how small they are) on the Internet.
These Ebay sellers direct their buyers to a download page which asks them to subscribe to their newsletter before continuing. They can then market to their buyers using follow-up emails for relevant offers.
The other way of making profits from information products is the rather more traditional route. You create an original ebook, create a funky ecover and sell it on Ebay for $10-$30. If there’s a market for your product, you have hit a winner!
