There’s been a few major changes happening at Google and there are ways you can benefit from it.
Even though we are all about eBay here at Bidding Buzz, we still look for things that can contribute to enhancing success on eBay.
The new changes in Google mean that if you have a Google+ page, (Both personally and as a business) people can actually find those pages in new search results in Google. This can be a potential game changer for everyone.
If you can utilise the power of Google+ pages and get found in Google you could tap into a free source of ongoing traffic.
I know it sounds geeky but I think there are exciting times ahead for all online sellers!
No one ever wants to hear bad news and sadly for the thousands of people employed in Australian retail that’s exactly what they are going to hear in 2012.
The retail sector has had one of the worst Christmas lead ups in years and in fact many Australians are just as wary now about their jobs as they were during the worst of the GFC. CoreData actually predicts that over 100,000 jobs are going to be lost next year in Retail & Tourism.
So what’s the good news?
The good news is that if you’re part of the growing number of people learning how to sell online, especially eBay, then you’re in for a fast growth opportunity. It’s a transitional time right now with how people shop online and the early adopters are already profiting and you could be too.
Don’t be one of the people who looks back in 20 years and says…”Geez I wish I’d got started online 20 years ago when it was really just starting to take off.”
The future belongs to you…seize it now and be in charge of your own financial destiny!
There’s a new trend of online retail spending after the traditional US Thanksgiving holiday called Cyber Monday. This is where people take advantage of discounts similar to what we see for Boxing Day specials in Australia.
This year amazingly over $1.25 Billion was spent in one day online. This is a combination of individual websites and the usual contributor eBay. This year we can also see the trend of mobile phone spending skyrocketing. In fact 10% of all those sales were made by people using mobile devices like phones and iPads.
What’s even more astonishing is that prior to the Cyber Monday online sales, there was the usual Black Friday spending in traditional stores, the kicker is that the online spending beat traditional spending by 29%.
This is truly a changing of the way people are now choosing to spend their money and once again it makes great inspiration to be selling online.
What are you going to sell today online?
eBay are always looking for new ways to generate income and this time they are helping you as a seller too. As of October, if you have a Fixed Price listing and you offer to ship to the UK or to the world, your listing will automatically appear in the Uk eBay search results.
How cool is that?
What this means is that you can now immediately access another 17 million people…yep nearly the whole population of Australia…simply by ticking the box to ship worldwide. The great news is that the flow on affects could be enormous. Imagine you now have the possibility have getting extra potential shoppers looking at your listings for no extra cost.
The pitfall to look out for would be to make sure you are on top of your correct shipping options and cost’s and also making sure you are aware of the time differences when selling into another market. Remember, it’s all about communicating with your customers and making sure they understand distance and timing. Another thing to be aware of is potential customs duties at their end. Ideally you want to make sure you avoid the customer having to pay import duties on your items as they could be unaware of this and that it could cost them extra money if not sent correctly.
There you have it…even more ways to make money on the worlds largest sales platform!
