I Liked Auction Sniping On Ebay So Much, I Started My Own Company!

 

How it started

I'd been an ebay user for years without knowing anything about the art of sniping. I considered myself a fairly seasoned buyer, adept at meandering around eBay, finding bargains and waiting avidly until the last second of auction to try and win them.

I was pretty successful but there were always a confusing number of auction losses, when I know I really should have won an item. I'd put in a good price at the right time but would lose by the smallest of increments. It happened again and again. 

It got very frustrating, but I just shrugged it off and decided that it was just down to luck, and that I'd run out of mine on that occasion. I talked about my success/failure rate in auctions with my brother, who runs his own web design agency - he mentioned that earlier in the month he'd discovered and tried a new way of bidding and winning ebay auctions, it was called 'sniping'

I'd been sniped! I felt a bit peeved, but did some research and found out that not only was it a totally legal method of bidding, it was also an online equivalent of a very normal practice in the auction houses - silent bidding, often made via telephone.

In almost 100% of cases the process beats manual registrations of bids - basically you can't beat a sniper - the person using sniping software to make a bid will always win against the bidder not using it as long as he is bidding the same or a slight increment over their amount, often winning by only a few pence more. So, I certainly couldn't beat the snipers so I might as well join them. I signed up for a free trial with an online sniping company and set out to test it for myself.

The test

I trawled through the pages of the auction pages that had 10 minutes to go on eBay, and found a low cost item. It was a small plastic Darth Vader toy - I put down ?3.00 as my maximum bid as I didn't want to risk the program getting my bid wrong, okay, I'll admit that I was a bit nervous but this wasn't how I was used to doing things!

The bid

I checked all my info I'd inputted a few extra times, and then clicked 'place bid'. The message came up told me that the bid had been placed on my behalf. I stared at the screen.

I didn't need to - there was a whole 10 minutes to go, but as it slowly dawned on me that I didn't actually have to be at the computer to actually make the bid happen anymore, I went to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of coffee and then came back to watch the final moments of auction.

The result

You probably guessed by now (and by the title of this article), that I won - of course. What probably hooked me to sniping is that in the last minute of auction around 4 other people made bids on the same item, my item, and one of the bids was the same price as mine. The thrill was that I had won - without doing anything - or so it felt. I was thrilled. Darth Vader was mine and I'd found a new way to win on eBay! I was no longer an ordinary bidder, I was an Auction Sniper!

Later on (with a bit more courage from my earlier success) I tried the eBay tool on a small portable TV for my bedroom - I won that auction too, and because the item was sniped ie. Not bid through eBay itself (like a silent bidder, or telephone bid in auction houses), no-one saw my interest in the TV (which was a rather nice Sony) and therefore no bidding wars were started and therefore the item went to me at the lowest price possible. Result.

Why did I make my own?

Like a lot of people, I love winning, winning at anything, love, darts, football, snap - anything. I particularly love winning on eBay. This is why I decided to become a real auction sniper aficionado and start my own sniping site. But why would I bother to start my own site, when there were other sniping sites showing us all 'how to win on eBay' left right and centre?

Well, even though the other sites usually worked ok, they were all ugly and hard to navigate through. It was as if they'd been made for people who knew about programming but not much about design and ease of use. Sometimes during my research I found that even would give up halfway through the registration process of other sites - they just didn't make sense sometimes and got me frustrated. I wanted simplicity. I'm a bit lazy and don't want to have to work out something that should be easy to do.

I couldn't even persuade my best mate to try sniping because he couldn't understand how to given the scrappy sites that were on offer. Some useful feedback I took from him was that if no trouble was taken on the design and use of a site - any site, how they could be truly trusted to do a dependable job?

The site!

So, surprise surprise, I made a site! A brand spanking new sniping site - it's up and running, it works very well indeed and looks great.

I'm a believer based on experience, so obviously I'd like to recommend to each reader of this article who uses eBay to try sniping for themselves, turn themselves into an eBay Sniper and see what savings they can make and how much time it frees up.

With internet-based sniping sites such as mine, you don't even have to have your computer switched on for the snipe to go through, so instead of hovering over the mouse button to make your last second bid, a sniping site will do it for you. This is obviously a great time saving strategy, as well as a money saving one. But is it really worth it? Does eBay sniping get real results?

Here's what a South Korean team at Seoul National University found. They produced a master equation for how bidding proceeds (it's nk(t+1) -- nk(t) = w(k-1)(t)*n(k-1)(t) -- wk(t)*nk(t) + sigma(k,1)*u(t), and then tested it against a massive number of auction records, some 264,073 items sold in one day on eBay and another 287,018 items sold in one year by eBay's Korean partner. **

Our analysis explicitly shows that the winning strategy is to bid at the last moment as the first attempt rather than incremental bidding from the start." The study appears in the Physical Review E journal.

Article: On eBay, it pays to snipe

Dated: 6/25/2006

So, it really does work. Not that many people have discovered auction sniping, so the opportunity to gain a bidding advantage has never been better.

A an ebay sniper you can also bid for multiple items, search for the best price of multiple items - the list of features we're creating with a view to adding to the site is growing week by week, and more and more people are signing up and using the service we offer. It's turned into a full time business as users recommend friends to us and word spreads.

It goes without saying that I'd encourage everyone to use my site to snipe on eBay, but the bigger message of this article is that if you do buy anything at all on eBay, and want to have the best chances of winning - you've really got to consider last minute bidding seriously and start winning more and more auctions!

Good luck, thanks for reading and happy bidding!

Four Tips On How To Build Your Internet Marketing Email List

 

For an internet marketer, the role of list building is very crucial. It is through this technique that actual sales occur. People don't usually buy from the internet right on. They have to be goaded, talked to, and motivated to buy. They don't buy on the spur of the moment. Most internet shoppers do shop around and around until they get tired of looking at the things they want. Worse, they can't even decide at once.

This is where email marketing steps in. With email marketing, you can easily remind people who are once interested with your product that they should buy it soon. More importantly, they should buy it from you. Studies had shown that internet shoppers actually buy a product only after the 12th email. This only go to show that you need to keep in touch to your prospect buyer for at least twelve times to at least be assured that he would even consider buying the product.

So if you want to be a successful internet marketer, you have to use a targeted email marketing list. Not any other marketing list would do. You need a targeted list that is full of names and email addresses of people who are willing to buy your products and not the type people you aren't sure even existed. That's exactly what the marketing list you can buy from outside sources works. It is filled with email address of abandoned mailboxes, people who are not remotely qualified for your products, and worse, inexistent people. 

In order to build a good internet marketing list, you can do the following suggestions:

1. Create a blog where you can acquire many subscribers. 

Blogs are very popular these days because it can generate lots of subscribers through RSS feeds. Any person who come across your blog who is interested in what you are writing about could easily subscribe to your feeds so that they get updated with whatever you have going in your blog. The subscriber list you generate out of your blog posting can very well serve as internet marketing email leads for you. They work because these people are genuinely interested in your products and are the most likely candidates for your monthly sales quota. 

2. Generate a powerful list through opt-in.

Opt-in the process wherein a willing subscriber to a website or any other place for that matter is offered a subscription option for some other related materials. You can partner up with a website that offers things for downloads that require registration before they can be obtained. The people who need to sign up so they can get the software they want would be offered alternate subscription options. And whenever they tick on the option that directly pertains to your product, then that only means that they are interested in the area you are focusing on. Again, these are active people with active email addresses. So you are more likely to sell your product to them rather than with people who are remotely interested in your products.

3. Build a community.

Online communities are very helpful in promoting your website and building your email marketing list. You are definitely going to earn so much from these people you associate yourself with. If they were interested in your products, they would gladly give their email address to you. This is because as a bona fide member of the community, you are more likely to be trusted than any other people they barely know over the internet. Online communities consist of forums, social networking sites, and other places where in there are a number of people free milling around. 

4. Through your friend's referrals.

Your email list is best built through the concept of viral marketing. And it pertains to the referrals of your friends to their friend's friends. The concept is much similar to the spread of a virus, thus the name. You can start building your list with your buddies in your yahoo messenger, AIM, or MSN. Of course, they need to accept the invitation first. And if ever they don't like to subscribe to your feeds or to your daily posts about your product, you can directly request them to send the email to friends who may be interested.

Selecting A Shopping Cart System For Your Website That Makes You Money!

 

For any serious online business, a shopping cart system is not only a great way to facilitate the purchasing process, but it?s absolutely necessary. However, before choosing the right system, you first need to determine if you even need a shopping cart system at all. If you are selling only a couple of products and do a relatively low volume of sales, a free ecommerce from  may suffice just fine. Alternatively there are also options available from  and . Though, if you do more than a few hundred dollars of sales a month or have multiple products, a good shopping cart system can actually make you more money - and do it seamlessly and automatically.

Choosing the right shopping cart system for your online business is absolutely critical, and it?s not something that you want to even consider skimping on. You might notice that I call it a ?shopping cart system? and not just a ?shopping cart.? The reason is simple: a good shopping cart system usually has a truckload of other features integrated right into it, such as autoresponders, affiliate management and ad trackers just to name a few. 

There are a couple of ways to go about getting a shopping cart:

1. You can buy the software license outright and install it on your server.

2. You can use free software found on the web, or software that comes included with your web hosting.

3. Or, you can sign up for a third party service.

For simplicity sake, we?re going to concentrate on option 3, signing up for a third party service. Purchasing and installing software on your server is expensive and technical and not a viable option for most people, and free anything on the Internet is generally a bad idea, especially when it?s the size of your bank account on the line.

If you are unsure of what the key features of a good shopping cart application are, here are some tips which are likely to come in handy when comparing various shopping cart options:

The number one thing you should look for, and which any decent cart should have, is the ease of use. If the shopping cart system is difficult for your sites visitors to use and make purchases, they will abandon you at the checkout and you?ll loose a ton of sales. One of the best ways to evaluate a shopping cart for its ease of use is to use it yourself and try it first hand. The simpler, more foolproof and user friendly it is, the better.

Not only does a good shopping cart complete the sales process for you, but it also has the ability to upsell customers, distribute electronic products, calculate shipping and taxes, send info to credit card processing companies, and even send order info to a fulfillment house among many other things.

If you can, try before you buy ? most carts come with a free or heavily discounted trial. What other features/benefits does it offer? Does it have an integrated sequential autoresponder built in? Are you able to track ads and sales data? Does it have an upsell and cross-sell module available to make you more money? Some of the better carts even have built in affiliate management which allows you to run and track your own affiliate program seamlessly. I shouldn?t need to tell you how important all of these features are to have, and how much extra money they can make you. 

Another important aspect is the level of flexibility the cart offers. This is not only for your customers, but for you as well. Does it allow them to calculate several different shipping options, and will it calculate taxes appropriately based on their location and purchase. Does it have built in instant digital delivery available? Also, while shopping a user might want to change various parameters at any stage, such as quantity of products, shipping information and any other instructions relating to their shopping process. Make sure they can do it easily.

Easy connectivity to payment options is something else that you should strongly consider, since different online users may prefer different methods of payments, which you?ll want to make sure your cart can accommodate. One the Internet, credit card is king, so make sure Visa, MasterCard and American Express are the minimum you have available. And if you currently have a merchant account, you will also want to check and make sure they cart you choose is compatible with your payment gateway.

All reporting functions offered should be relevant and elaborate. As an online retailer you need all the information that you can get about your users including their preferences and pattern of usage. Good shopping cart software should provide you with a good set of reports which provide valuable data which can be mined for business purposes. Reports tend to provide you with a road map on how you should proceed in making the shopping experience smoother for your user. 

Above all the shopping cart system you select should be helpful from the point of view of the customer, and it should also help you towards planning and managing certain aspects of your e-business and automating them as much as possible. In addition, a system that will help analyze your website?s effectiveness, your sales records etc. with most of the other components mentioned above would be an ideal shopping cart system for your business. 

Many of the points discussed above will not only affect your site technically, but they will also influence the revenue generation potential of your ecommerce business. That?s why I can?t emphasize how extremely important it is to choose the right system.

The shopping cart system that I use, and strongly recommend, along with most of the top Internet Marketers, is  (). This system also features a full featured integrated autoresponder with email broadcast capability, complete affiliate management, ad trackers, custom forms, upsell modules, and the ability to calculate shipping and taxes in every way possible, and a free 30 day trial. 

If you want to install the software directly on your own web server, something like VP-ASP () can do the trick. It comes with an affiliate module, tax and shipping calculation, digital delivery and tons of custom formatting options available. And since you?re purchasing a software license, there are no monthly fees.
