Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Trade Me Top Seller?
So you’ve been buying and selling on Trade Me for a while and now you want to turn your Trade Me dealings into a profitable business?
As you’ll quickly find out, that’s not as easy as it looks. Sure, it’s simple to set yourself up as a seller and join the many thousands who sell on Trade Me — but if you want to make some serious money doing business on Trade Me, you have to do your homework first. And who better to advise you than Michael Carney, author of Trade Me Success Secrets, who has been analysing and advising about Trade Me since 2005?
Michael has just released his new online training course, the Trade Me Advanced Selling Secrets Programme. In this seven-week course we cover:
INTRODUCTION
In which we discuss the secrets of selling successfully on Trade Me, identify the various elements we’ll be covering during the course and examine the skills you’ll need to have (or hire in) as your selling operation expands. At the end of this section we’ll be setting a self-assessment questionnaire to determine if you have what it takes to be a top Trade Me seller.
LESSON ONE: TURNING PROSPECTS INTO BUYERS
We talk about prospective buyers, discuss what makes them buy (or not), review how and why they’ve changed in the last few years and explore their motivations (and how you can trigger the urge to buy). We also look at what times of the day and times of the week consumers are most likely to visit Trade Me, what times of year they’re most likely to be looking for Trade Me deals — and how you can keep watch on their current interests.
LESSON TWO: WHAT ACTUALLY SELLS ON TRADE ME
In this lesson we show you how you can find out what people are actually searching for — on Trade Me and elsewhere on the web — and where to go to find out what’s hot now (and what will be hot next). Are you actually selling the right products on Trade Me? Here’s where you find out.
LESSON THREE: WHAT PROSPECTIVE BUYERS WANT TO KNOW
The underlying principle behind Trade Me is nothing short of miraculous: asking people to send money to sellers they don’t know, for a product they haven’t seen. In this lesson we explore the steps you must take to build your reputation and credibility online — and how to protect that reputation at all costs.
LESSON FOUR: GETTING NOTICED
You won’t sell anything if you don’t attract visitors to your listings — but how do you get noticed amongst more than two million other listings? Sometimes, it’s easy to see why an auction goes viral and picks up hundreds of thousands of pageviews. When Tana Umaga picked up that handbag and demonstrated Management By Hitting Out, the cybersphere went wild. But what happened to turn that Scary Washing Machine into a phenomenon? We identify some of the strategies that make auctions sizzle. And we look at the increasing importance of other online tools to get the word out.
LESSON FIVE: MAKING MORE MONEY FROM EVERY SALE
Great — you made a sale! Your auction closed successfully. But how do you grow the money you earn from every sale? We take you through smart strategies to ensure that you’ve maximised the amount of money you can earn — all the while adding value to the customer. Easy? No — but then, if it was, everyone would do it!
LESSON SIX: SURVIVING TRADE ME SUCCESS
So now you’re selling successfully on Trade Me — but you’re also drowning in paperwork, struggling to get goods out the door and in danger of being overwhelmed by your own success. We look at currently available tools and best practices and talk you through what you need to do to cope.
LESSON SEVEN: COMPETING AGAINST GIANTS
Once of the most common questions we receive from Top Sellers: “how do I compete effectively against the category killers? They have the buying power and I’m just a small business.” Well, as David found when he went up against Goliath, there are definitely ways to compete and win. We explore those strategies and start you thinking about what it takes.
CONCLUSION
Time to turn all that learning into a planned sales programme. We give you the tools (or tell you where to find them)
