5 eBay steps a rookie can master to make $1500 in one hour


Since making money is a mix of methods, applications, and efforts, Ill break off a straight forward system I used to identify and make $1500 in an hour on ebay. For the sake of this particular product being a banned topic, I will not tell you what is (not even if you pm me - so just save yourself the time). The method is important in this situation, not the product. Teach a man to fish...


(1) Identify hot (profitable ) keywords - Terapeak - $100 /year subscription
(2) Source the product - tradekey.com
(3) Write the ad - Ebay
(4) Ship your product - Local Post Office / UPS
(5) Collect your paycheck - Paypal

-------------------------------------------------------

(1) Identify hot (profitable ) keywords - Terapeak - $100 / year subscription

Whether you realize it or not, your using some way (if not amazing intuition ) to determine what hot keywords or products are a profitable niche (Google Keyword Tool, etc). Terapeak shows you not only what keywords are being searched for, but which ones are hot, and how much each one pays out if youve got a similar product. IT LITERALLY DOES YOUR WORK FOR YOU. Not only does it tell you what to get, it shows you what keyword combinations maximize your money.

For sake of example Ill just use the term 'widgets'

-Your a noob and need to be spoon fed (most of us are)
-You get Terapeak despite wanting to try out a new tool
-You see using the hot keywords that 10 terms are trending well - balls, bats, mits, widgets, fidgets, rams, mats, muts, whats, and whens.
-Youve used widgets before and this since you know something about the product writing an ad that appeals to your audience isnt that difficult and even though it is, wouldnt seem like work
-You search for widgets
-You get a report on widgets for the highest paying in the past few weeks, the range in which most are selling, exactly what hour people are buying widgets, what colors, what sizes, and what are other attributes are paying well ( approx $150 for sale)
- You open up 'Title Builder' and begin breaking down what pays well
- You type in widgets and are shown several options
- At this point its like a freaking game show, just click the words that payout the best
- You have maxed out the number of keywords ebay allows and you have an average price of $150 for "widgets-purple-people-M-sewn-eater"
-You have your product that you need to source - just rearrange the words
- purple people eater widgets - sewn - size medium
-Now go find a source...

(2) Source the product - tradekey.com

This is all about testing and not overspending. There are alot of shady people on here and the language barrier is tough. The trick here is to remain focused, ask alot of questions, always get sent samples (usually 1 or 2), and always test new products even if its a trusted source (website) your buying from. And heres a tip from my own personal experience, DONT BUY ELECTRONICS. Hardware is usually fine, software is always another story. I know the markets are hot for these products, just deal with it and select another area.

Tradekey essentially is your hookup to small markets across the world. China, the middle east, whatever. Theres alot of sites out there that do the same things - Alibaba, DHGate to name a few, but tradekey usually has what Im in the market for

-Open up tradekey.com
-Search for widgets (dont worry about the specifics, just see how the results turn up - if theres more results that you care to go through add more keywords from your final terapeak search in step 1
-find a few vendors that have your product listed in their description
-signup for a free membership and contact them and ask for an email ( NEVER BUY FROM ONE OF THESE SITES WITHOUT ASKING THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT FIRST)
-look at their website and see if the pictures or descriptions begin to match your product your looking for
-begin contacted them through email (this is usually tough because english is their second language, but getting what you want and not blowing your money is worth it)
-look at the price versus your $150. is this going to make sense to purchase and try and source ? margins differ for different people, but if your talking about half here it makes a ton of sense
- lets say we find these specific widgets for $50 after shipping on x website
-begin asking them to make sure they have EXACTLY what your looking and ie ( sewn, size medium, that matched your description)
TIP - go on ebay and find an auction that matches the product your looking to buy. send the link to your potential supplier and ask them what they are selling is different)
- if everything seems to look good at this point - request samples (its ok to pay for them, just buy in small quantities) (most vendors offer shipping breaks at 5 units, honestly just save your money even if its only 10 bucks. if the products are whack you have 2 bad products and 10 dollars, versus no cash and 5 units you get to trash)
- get the units shipped to you and inspect quality
- if its good to go your ready to write ads (if its bogus, dont give up and try a few more vendors before switching to a different product)
- test the ads in ebay and scale if they sell within a short period of time
- by this time your like man i gotta get more! - take your profits and source more - for this example i sourced 15 more after my first 2 units sold in the first day
- Post office will rip you off when you use their packaging, so go on ebay and searcing for packaging enough to protect your product, as well as tape, and packing slip envelopes that will fit (explained in step 4)

(3) Write the ad - Ebay

-Use your keywords verbatim in your title (be sure and mix up so not to look like other ads) (writing a subtitle with your value add here at this point is a great idea)
- Write the ad based on exactly what the product is. (purple people eater widgets - sewn - size medium) - If you get stuck here, look at other ads and figure out what message they are trying to display and put your own spin on it.
- Take your own photos - I got a couple of mannequins for cheap in my area ($20) that made my photos look professional
- If youve posted in a hot enough sector your will be selling like crazy. My version of these widgets i posted at 8 AM on a tuesday (the optimal time for this particular product for whatever odd reason based on terapeak ). by 8:15 im seeing $100 sales go by. By 9 oclock I was sold out and wondering wtf im going at my day job (this will get you hooked on internet marketing for life).
- I sold out all 15 units I bought at $50 apiece at $150 by 9



15 units X $100 per sale = $1500



NOTE: Your results may vary when you do this process, but use your brain and identify opportunities and you will get paid.

(4) Ship your product - Local Post Office / UPS

- I live in the US and get cheaper shipping (though it takes longer) through the post office versus UPS or FedEx
NOTE : Buying small products makes cheaper shipping, and thus increases your product margins (aka $$$)
- If your using Paypal, which most smart ebay users do - paypal will automatically print shipping labels - meaning dont stand in any lines when you cant print postage from your computer - usually works for post office and UPS
- at this point you need to attach the postage printout from your computer to your package in a way that it will survive the life of the journey and still be readable (buy packing slips off ebay prior to this that match the print out size and the size of the package)
- you can even schedule the post office or ups to come to your door to pickup - dont even have to drive to the post office...
NOTE : I personally always offer free shipping and buy it now. Take out all the hidden fees and let the customer think they are getting a great deal (just increase you price to make up the difference)
- Rinse wash repeat...and get paid

(5) Collect your paycheck - Paypal
- watch your profiles roll in and your margins increase the more you ship

Misc notes...
- Buying branded products definitely have increased margins, but will probably get your account flagged if your violating copyright laws - Use you moral compass here and youll be fine - if not im sure youll find a way anyhow
- If you want a great book to find all kinds of products especially if you have a tax id # and a real business - "What to Sell on Ebay and Where to Get It By" by Chris Malta and Lisa Suttora
- DONT PM FOR A COPY OF TERAPEAK I DONT HAVE ONE. Go pay for it, its worth it
- DO PM me for any questions I could help you with other, than the actual product I got paid off of. Like I said before its a banned topic thus the widgets metaphor
- If this replicates another method, great, that means it works, I haven't copied anything from anything other than my experience
- I have 0% affiliation to any website or anyone else listed in this. This is only to get you paid the best way I know how

How I made $300 in a matter of 6 hours


Very simple stuff guys, Perfect for people just starting out online
Don't get too caught up in the in's & out's of this method...
and DON'T try to re-invent the wheel... this works... and it's really easy!!

I made a thread on this a while ago.... don't know if it was BHW or somewhere else... but I can't find it... SO, here it is:

eBay is there for people to make money, not just CS.... and it's really simple, you just have to follow the rules... and don't fuck up..

Step1:
Go to www.beltal.com or www.dhgate.com , and register some new accounts with each site... these are both wholesale websites, and you get everything shipped directly from China... replica's.... clone's... fake's.... and even real shit too....

Step2:
Search around on the sites, find stuff that's hot... like iPhones, computers, clothes, tiffany jewelry, electronics, sunglasses (designer)..etc

Step3:
Once you find something that you wanna sell, check to see what it's going for on eBay... if you can make $10/$20 per sale, you're good!!

(example
iPhone clone on eBay: $160,
iPhone clone on DHGate: $120

Step4:
Check the seller's reputation (on DHGate & Beltal)... make sure that they're not scamming people, or sending the wrong items... otherwise you're gonna be fucked!!... gotta make sure you're dealing with someone legit

Step5:
After you've done your (fore-research)... we're gonna see what kinda deals you can get if you order items in bulk on DHGate/Beltal

(example
1 iPhone Clone= $120,
5 iPhone Clones= $105 each

Step6:
Make sure you get a discount on shipping from china, if you buy in bulk...
Even better yet, see if the item's have FREE SHIPPING.... that's what I did..

Step7:
List the item's that you can get in bulk (dropshipped from china) on eBay... Make sure you list like 10 iPhone clones... but in the listing, use something like this:

(example
Touch Screen GSM Quad-Band Cell Phone
-put a picture of the iPhone clone (I use the CECT i9, it looks the same)
-in description... DON'T SAY THAT IT'S A CLONE/FAKE/REPLICA... make sure you word it as (Cect i9, quad-band, gsm cell phone, touch screen, email, internet, wifi, gps, etc...whatever...etc...)
-let your pictures do the talking.... USE BIG PIC'S... MAKE THEM STAND OUT, MAKE PEOPLE SKIP RIGHT OVER THE DESCRIPTION AND BUY BASED ON THE PICS!!!....

Step8:
Once you have 10 listings up, make sure you either use a reserve price, or a buy it now...., make sure you say it may take up to 10 days for shipping...

Step9:
Once you start getting some sales, make the people pay via PayPal instantly... (make it the only option)... Once you have enough in your paypal from the sales on ebay.... BUY THE BULK LOT OF iPHONE CLONE's from Beltal/DHGate, and have each one dropshipped to the buyer's addresses.... and you never have to touch anything!!..

Rinse and Repeat..... Just make sure you aren't saying it's a clone/fake/copy/replica.... LIST IT AS WHAT IT IS... let your pics do the talking!!!...

Here's some things that I personally used when I did this... and I made bank!!
- Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses/ belts/ light blue cologne(they're fucking amazing replica's)
here's a link
Code:
http://www.beltal.com/i/1436/4453938/wholesale-6-PICTURES-100-new-style-DG-D-G-men-s-women-s-Belt-Buckles-belts-strap-with-tags-box-90-120-cm.html

Make money on ebay - get $$$$ so easy


This method work if you know how to sell on ebay and how to buy item on amazon with blackhat method.
Let me explain more about this method

1 - You need an ebay account to list items to sell on ebay. Ofcouse, because this method is make money on ebay, so the first thing that you need an ebay account. If your account limited to sell items, so you need ghost accounts. The more ebay seller accounts you have, the more profits you will get.

2. You need some ghost amazon buyer accounts.
why do you need amazon buyer accounts? Because you will use those accounts to buy stuffs on amazon then ship to the buyer address. I will explain more later about this.
What's do you need for amazon buyer accounts? The buyer accounts should be more than 1 month old, and have credit card / debit card linked to that account. You can use virtual credit card link to your amazon accounts. If you have credit/debit card link to the amazon accounts, so you can get Prime Shipping, it is 2 days shipping for free. So if you buy item on amazon, you can choose shipping within 2 days for free, You will save a lot of shipping fees

3. You need to spend few times to research items to sell on ebay
there are many service on interenet provide products information about HOT items to sell on ebay , please spend few times (about 2 - 3 hours only) to find the best product you want to sell.

What's the product to sell?
- The price of the product on ebay need higher more than on amazon
- The product should have few sellers sell it (about unless 50 sellers sell the product)
- the product can sell about 3 - 5 items daily
- the product list to ship through amazon

Let me give you an example about this step (how to choose best product to sell on ebay)

Please check the product have ISBN-10: 0345529057, the name of product called "Game of Thrones Boxed Set by George R.R. Martin"
Please search that ISBN on ebay and amazon , then you can see the different price on ebay and amazon
On ebay, the best price is $20.00
On amazon, the price is $19.77 only
Then please look at this item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280676603136

wow, what do you see ? I see "History:973 sold"

It mean that 973 sold, and as you can see , over 10 items sold daily

It is one example, there are many many items like that.

4. You should find amazon gift codes with cheap price
This step is important, the cheap codes you can get, the more profit you will get.
Where do you can find cheap amazon gift codes?
You can find on craigslist, there are many many amazon gift codes with cheap price. I found two sellers, one of them provide me 60% of code, and the other one provide me 65% of code. Ofcouse, with that price, the codes are carded. it mean that the codes come from blackhat method. So that why in the first of this posting, I told that you need to know how to buy item on amazon with blackhat method.


5. Let me calculate about profit

Come back with the example I told before
With the item called "Game of Thrones Boxed Set by George R.R. Martin"
The price is $19.97 on amazon and $20 on ebay
You will list that item on ebay with the price $19.97 only (same price with amazon)
Then if buyer buy the item, you got $19.97 in your paypal
The ebay fee is $1.70 (about 8.5% fee)
the ebay fee is $0.58 (about 2.9% fee)
And the amazon code fee is $12 (about 60%)

--> total you need to pay for all fees : $1.7 + $0.58 + $12 = $14.28

--> you got $19.97 - $14.28 = $5.69

So you just inverst $12 for amazon code and you got $5.69 profit. It mean that you got 47.4% profit

Is it bad or good profit ?

The profit you got depend the product you sell. I now have some very very good products and I can get about 55% - 60% profits
How about if the product have price $119 or $150 ? You can get more $


6. So now, do you understand how we can make money on ebay?
As the title, it is so easy to get $$$
- You find product to sell
- you list product on ebay
- you use amazon gift codes to order the same product on amazon and ship to buyer's address
---> you got money

7. Before of the end of this posting, I will let you know some tips

- Don't creat new amazon account for each order
- Don't use proxy, just use the real IP
- Don't use same browser for each amazon or ebay account
- don't try to search or list product more than $300
- With some items, amazon limited to sell for each person. It mean that one person can buy one item only. With those item, I sungees you can do the same way with target.com. I mean that you still can list item on ebay, but you don't buy item on amazon, you buy item on target.com with cheap target gift codes and ship item to the buyer's address.
