Visit our sponsor:
 
http://www.importingforauctions.com
 
-------------------------------------------------------
 
1. Make your reader see that they have already
bought your product in the ad. Tell them what
results they have gotten and how it makes them
feel. They'll already become emotionally attached
before they buy.
 
 
2. Turn the ad into an article. It could be a story,
or how-to article. This will lead them into your ad
without them knowing it's an ad. They'll already be
interested when they get to your sales pitch.
 
 
3. Show your reader that they are
getting a bargain. Tell them the usual price you sell
your product for is $99. Then tell them if they
order today they can buy it for $69.95.
 
 
4. Direct the ad headline to your target audience.
Your readers will feel important and belong to a
select group of people who buy your product. For
example; "Attention! Accountants, Discover A
New Way To Increase Your Client Base!"
 
 
5. Tell the reader how fast they can receive your
product or service in your ad. Their buying decision
may be based on how fast they can receive your
product. They may need it by a certain deadline.
 
 
6. Use bullets to highlight your product or services
benefits. Benefits are the key to selling anything,
make them standout in your ad. You can use dots,
dashes, or circles to highlight them.
 
 
7. Give a money back guarantee that surpasses a
normal one. Instead of the normal timed guarantee,
give them extra back. Tell them they can keep the
free bonus or give them double their money back.
 
 
8. Tell the reader they'll receive surprise bonuses.
This'll raise your reader's curiosity and make them
want to buy so they can find out what the surprise
bonuses are.
 
 
9. Let your reader know this specific package will
not be offered again. You must create urgency so
people buy now. You may always sell the same
product but not with the same bonuses or price.
 
 
10. Give them a couple tips in your ad that will help
them with their problem. This will give your business
credibility and gain your readers trust to buy your
products or services.
 

From our home to your home, we pray and speak blessings, success and prosperity.

Indiatimes Auctions

INDIATIMES AUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The process in which things are brought and sold by bidding is called an auction. A bid is an offered price. The goods are sold to the highest bidder. The history of auction dates back to 500B.C.Economics states that auction determines the value of a commodity which has variable and undetermined price. There are Auctions with reserve or minimum, or absolute, without minimums or with no reserve. Reserve auction states that if the bid does not reach the minimum offered price, then there is no sale, whereas in absolute or no reserve auctions there is a guaranteed sale with only the price left to be determined.

Reduce Your Business Costs

Reduce Your Business Costs

Unless you have an extensive and unending cash flow you need to reduce your business cost. We are attempting to share some ideas with you.

You can use the famous ole barter system. If you have a business you should be bartering goods and services with other businesses. You should try to trade for something before you buy it. Bartering usually requires little or no money.

Nothing works like networking with your business peers and/or your general friends and acquaintances. Try to network your business with other businesses. This could result in trade leads or mailing lists. This will cut down on your marketing and advertising costs. Networking may also lead into the bartering goods and services, as mentioned above.

Buying in a wholesale manner and in a large enough amounts is an excellent method of reducing business expenses. This works at the start up and through out the business venture.

You can save money buying your business supplies in large quantities. You could get a membership at a wholesale warehouse or buy them through a mail order wholesaler. Buy the supplies you are always running out of. You may even go in with other businesses that use some of the same products and then split out what each of you needs.

Free stuff is always good for saving money. While you’re looking thru the internet and other sources just are careful, not to give out personal or business information that is not absolutely needed. You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites on the internet before buying your business supplies. You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds, online business services etc. As in the case of Internet Marketing, there are many items, articles, and e-books that are free. Often they may want your email address. Just because you give it to them once, does not mean you have to stay on their lists.

How many times have you had a friend or family member come over and borrow a tool or piece of yard equipment? Have you ever purchased business equipment you only needed for a small period of time? You could have just borrowed the equipment from someone else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store. If you have no choice, well buy it, use it, and then clean it up as well as you can and put it on a swap shop or newspaper for sale as new used once. You may be able to recoup some, a lot, or all of your initial investment.

Auctions, which are held in your local area and/or online, can render goods, services, etc. at a cheap price. You need to do your homework before bidding. I'm not saying all the time, but before you go pay retail for these items try bidding on them first.

Make a list of business supplies or equipment you know you think you may need in the future. Keep an eye out for stores that have big sales, or going out of business. Purchase the supplies when they go on sale before you need them. Often times in some stores you can put what you want on lay-a-way.

Do you operate business from your home? Does the equipment and supplies you need have to be new? Why not pick them up at auctions, yard sales, etc., buy them used. Unless your in a business setting where the image of new is important, used or refurbished will work as well as new, and for less money.

You can and need to always try negotiating the lowest price for any business equipment or supplies, or service. It doesn't hurt to ask or try, to get a lower figure. Be honest in your approach. I share with the person I am talking to and just let them know. We are small, but growing. Work with us now, and as we grow we will still buy from you. Then keep your word.

Ask some of your business associates, who they get their supplies, etc from. Then drop the referring businesses name to the person your talking to about buying supplies.

You can always be on the lookout for new suppliers for your business supplies and equipment. Look for suppliers with lower prices and better quality.

Well we have attempted to share some pointers to help you start and/or run you business with a greater amount of profit. Keeping business costs down helps make a profit.

10 Tips to Reduce Importing Business Costs

10 Tips to Reduce Importing Business Costs

More information in the form of a straters ebook to importing and selling online may be found at http://www.importingforauctions.com

We have used many if not all of the business expense reduction tips found here, for setting up our Importing Business, that allows us to sell on eBay and other auction sites. Some work quickly, some work a little slower. However, by and large they do all work.

1. Borrow/Rent
Have you ever purchased business equipment you only needed for a small period of time? You could have just borrowed the equipment from someone else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store. I know a business owner, who did buy a piece of machinery, new. After using it he resold it as used and recouped all of his investment.

2. Search
You can always be searching for new suppliers for your business supplies and equipment. Look for suppliers with lower prices and better quality. Don't just be satisfied with a few. Ask some of your business associates, who they get their supplies, etc from. Then drop the referring businesses name to the person your talking to about buying supplies.

3. Negotiate
You should always try negotiating a lower price for any business equipment or supplies. It doesn't hurt to try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a car lot. Use the honest approach. I share with the person I am talking to and just let them know. We are small, but growing. Work with us now, and as we grow we will still buy from you. Then keep your word

4. Barter
If you have a business you should be considering the exchange of goods, bartering goods, and services with other businesses. You should try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals usually require little or no money.

5. Online/Offline Auctions
You can find lower prices on business supplies and equipment at online and offline auctions. I'm not saying all the time, but before you go pay retail for these items try bidding on them first. As with any online purchase, do your homework.

6. Free Stuff
You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites on the internet before buying your business supplies. You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds, online business services etc. As in the case of Internet Marketing, there are many items, articles, and e-books that are free. Often they may want your email address. Just because you give it to them once, does not mean you have to stay on their lists.

7. Used Stuff
If your business equipment and supplies don't need to be new, buy them used. You can find used items at yard and garage sales, used stores, used stuff for sale message boards and newsgroups etc. Unless your in a business setting where the image of new is important, used or refurbished will work as well as new, and for less money.

8. Plan Ahead
Make a list of business supplies or equipment you'll need in the future. Keep an eye out for stores that have big sales. Purchase the supplies when they go on sale before you need them. Often times in some stores you can put what you want on lay-a-way. You may be able to keep it on layaway until you need it and can pay for it.

9. Wholesale/Bulk
You can save money buying your business supplies in bulk quantities. You could get a membership at a wholesale warehouse or buy them through a mail order wholesaler. You may even go in with other businesses that use some of the same products and then split out what each of you needs.

10. Networking
Try networking your business with other businesses. There could trade leads or mailing lists. This will cut down on your marketing and advertising costs.

A Plan to Import and then Sell Online

A Plan to Import and Then Sell online
In this series of paragraphs we shall attempt to spur your interest in starting to develop an import plan. It is not as hard as some may tell you it is. Anyone can do it. All you need to do is try and do not stop trying. Plan on how to plan your plan and then sell on eBay.
An important component of an import plan is market research. Identifying and evaluating the target market will enable you to: Understand the industry structure, Predict product demand, Identify competition, Determine product modifications needed. Research your industry sector in the import market, finding out the opportunities and growth areas, as well identifying any barriers. At this stage, it is also a good idea to create a basic customer profile for your product.
Importing game plan and/or strategy is the next step is to develop an import strategy, defining how you will enter the foreign market and find trade leads. Decide whether you will be importing indirectly through intermediaries - which will require finding overseas representation - or doing it yourself. The latter option means you'll have to consider how to promote the products abroad and what type of after-sales support you will be able to provide.
It is important to consider product pricing and quotes, methods of payment, shipping terms and costs in order to accurately calculate your expenses and budget for them accordingly. Next, ensure that you understand and comply with the rules and regulations of international trade. Being aware of such rules will help you convert them from barriers into benefits.
Financing considerations are how you will finance your import plans, including calculations on your expenses such as salaries, travel, advertising, distribution, production, etc. State whether the daily operations will be funded from an outside source or internally. Include a projected sales forecast in your export plan - this will help you to measure success.
Implementation and planning are the last step is to identify milestones or time frames for key tasks. This will help you to evaluate your progress and communicate expectations your staff. Your import plan should include dates for major tasks and identify parties responsible for the tasks. Ensure that employees and partners are able conduct their specific duties, employ people with relevant import qualifications and/or provide training to existing staff. The key personnel involved in the importing process should also have involvement in building and agreeing the import plan, as they will help execute it. At the outset your import plan will probably be quite simple and brief since some areas may require further research. However, the import plan should become more detailed and complete as you and your team become more experienced.
As we have attempted to share with you how you can start to plan your import plan and the sell on eBay, and any mother auction. We hope you will plan to plan, and then work your plan.

7 Secrets to Selling Cars at Online Auctions

7 Secrets to Selling Cars at Auction
I cannot share all of the things you need to know to sell cars at online auctions; however, here are a few tips for those people who are shopping for a vehicle online:

Ask the seller if you can stop by and see the vehicle in person. Someone who doesn't actually have the vehicle in his or her possession will almost certainly refuse. Even if you have no intention of paying a visit, just asking to see it could be useful.

Watch out for auctions that feature stock photos or photos from brochures. Anyone with a real car to sell should be able to take a picture of it.

Beware of any seller who will only accept a wire transfer for payment.

Beware of a seller who says the vehicle is in another country but offers to pay the shipping to the United States. This is a common ruse used by scammers in other countries.

Watch out for a vehicle that is offered for sale at a price that seems too inexpensive for the model. A $25,000 car offered for $10,000 should set off bells in your head.

If on eBay, check the seller's transaction history to see if they have a record of actually selling vehicles. Scammers sometimes hack into eBay user accounts and sell using the name of another, established user. If the seller is selling a Harley but has a history of only buying compact discs, watch out.

While buying a vehicle through online auction sites is a good way to purchase one, buyers should exercise the same cautions as when they buy anything else on the Internet. If you are buying an expensive item and you are not familiar with the seller, be careful.

The Internet has provided the public with a useful and convenient tool that makes it easier to do all manner of things than it used to be. One of these things, oddly enough, is the sale of motor vehicles. It seems strange that cars would sell well on the Web, as one would think that buyers would want to "kick the tires" before making a purchase. The success of eBay Motors, Auto Trader and other online sites devoted to the sale of motor vehicles would suggest otherwise, as business at those sites is thriving. Consumers who wish to purchase a vehicle online should be aware of a popular scam perpetrated by crooks who wish to steal your money – the wire transfer scam. The seller offers a vehicle for sale that he or she doesn't really have; they often just post a stock photo or one they found somewhere. The sellers often indicate that they are located in Europe, and they insist on a wire transfer, such as Western Union, for payment. Once the buyer sends the money, the seller vanishes, never to be heard from again. This scam has been going on for some time, and most of the online auto auction sites encourage their customers never to pay for a vehicle using a wire transfer, even if the seller promises to use escrow to ensure the safety of the transaction.

Selling On Ebay and Other Places

Selling Imports on eBay
OK, here it is. The premise of the article is this, you need to understand importing 101, if you plan to import and sell on eBay or any other auction site, or engage in international trade that requires importing something from other countries to The USA and/or your country. We import and sell on ebay, trade shows, flea markets, etc. Importing is so easy that anyone can do it. Importing goes as far back as the concept of trading because you have to get goods and materials that you do not have, from where they are, to where you are. You may need to import a particular item even if it is available in the country, when you can get it from another country at less money. One must understand some common sense aspects related importing.
Things/questions you may need to consider: What do I want to import? How much money do I have to spend? What can I sell it for? What is the total cost required to buy and sell the item? Who has this item? Who do I need to contact, or bring on board to make this work? Consult professional legal experts prior to and while you are talking with prospective suppliers. The very first person and/or company you should contact is a certified and approved United States customs brokerage firm. Do a goggle search, if you do not know of one. Share with them that you are new to this. Let them know all you know at this point. Then, ask them what you need to do. They will share with you virtually all you need to know. Cost to get this advice Zero Dollars You do not necessarily need to sign a contract, with your supplier. Find out how and when monies from you to them are due. Do not worry about the exchange rate the supplier already knows how many US Dollars they need to sell you their items, and they know exactly how many U.S. Dollars it will take to ship them to you. Speaking of shipping. DA Boat, DA Boat, Use DA Boat.
Some of these high dollar self proclaimed importing experts tell you to get familiar with all those import regulations, tariffs, duties etc. Hog Wash, The customs broker that you have been talking too. Guess what Bubba? They already know the laws, regulations, etc that you will be involved with. That's why you get a customs broker. OH, Did I share with you that you do not pay the customs broker, until your goods get to them, or whatever place you having them sent too. There again, they will let you know how much and when to pay.
Some self proclaimed experts tell ya to take care that you are complying with all the rules and regulations, that you need to plan for transportation, storage, insurance and documentation, and then show this to a legal expert, pay them for their advice. Get all these documents and terms of the contract examined by the legal experts. Hog Wash, Or, you can let the customs broker take care of most if not all of these factors, for you. Cost for the broker to do this Zero Dollars. Some importers buy and deal with the manufacturer or supplier of the goods. Some like to outsource these details to someone else that will handle all the issues related to the importing and purchase from him. However, dealing with the manufacturer or supplier is the best method, as it requires that you should be personally in touch with the overseas supplier of the material. Oh did I share with you that this generates the most profit.
The above stated information is a very very brief, not nearly complete synopsis of importing. However, it does cover importing 101, an overview. Maybe, just maybe there is enough information and/or the lack there of to peak your interest and start digging for more information. One thing we share in comclusion is this, anyone can do this, all you need is the determined what too.
