My friends Heidi Marshall and Jenn Cangelosi of Boutique Bargains and I were talking recently about changes happening over at eBay.
You used to be able to put any links you want into your about me page. You could link to your website, share affiliate links, etc. Now that option has been removed. eBay wants you to stick to eBay, plain and simple.
Many eBay sellers are feeling pretty disappointed about this. They liked being able to share other resources and links that could lead to additional income.
So what should be your response to the situation?
I think it’s time – if you’re not already doing so – to be blogging as a way to promote and support your eBay business.
A blog gives you a home on the web to say all the things you can’t say in a listing or on your about me page. It’s a virtual traffic magnet that you can use to pull people over to your eBay listings or store. And, it’s a vehicle for promoting affiliate programs that hold the key to adding extra income to your pocketbook without having to list, package or ship anything.
Sounds awesome doesn’t?
Jenn, Heidi and I decided to hold a free seminar that will teach eBay moms how adding a blog to their eBay business can help them gain traffic and create new streams of income. It will be entirely web based – all you need is a set of speakers to listen in and a microphone if you want to ask questions.
