Make Money on eBay - Identify your Target Buyer
To make
money on eBay requires a great deal of upfront investigation
and research. It
requires that a
seller know
the marketplace
well. There needs
to be a solid
market niche with ready, willing and able buyers. But that is only half of
the story. Success also requires that sellers know about
their target buyers.
To make money
on eBay requires that success sellers know their
target buyers. What items do they
want and need? When do they
prefer to shop? What information are they seeking about items before they
will buy? Are there any special requirements
such as special features that they
expect to be
included with
the items they purchase?
Targeted buyers need
to be eagerly waiting
for the items that you
sell. They need to have the means to make the purchase when they find the
right items. But how is a seller who wants to make money on eBay going to identify anything about the
target buyer for their product?
Often the
basics can be obtained as a part of market niche and
product research. Many product manufacturers list suggested users in their product descriptions, in their product catalogs or on their websites.
General online product searches
will also often include this information.
The eBay site
abounds with buyer information as
well. If you know the niche and the product you will also have a good feel for the target buyer
from prior experience. Finally, as a seller actually begins to make money on eBay by selling the product, buyer demographics will become clear.
Do you
want to make money on eBay? Then know your product niche and your target buyers well.
