Ebay sellers, sell more using Twitter!
Twitter has seemingly grown overnight, and has become an enormous opportunity for sellers of all kinds to network instantly with people around the world. How? Through displaying your deep knowledge of your own niche. Twitter limits what you can say in just 140 characters or less, but you can include links to other resouces on your niche, your Squidoo lenses, Ebay guides, tweet new auctions, tweet auctions ending soon, and talk it up with like-minded buyers and sellers.
You were looking for customers before, well here they are. Let’s say that you sell new speakers on Ebay. If I were on Twitter and I was into music, I might be interested in something that you have to say about the newest speakers, what to look for, and what to avoid. Coming straight out the gate bombarding the public with your own links isn’t going to work, but providing legitimate information and tips on a better listening experience might get people interested.
Twitter also works perfectly with your blog. If you already blog about your products, then you can gain some followers and traffic by automatically posting your Tweets, or you can manually add new posts.
Is there competition in your field on Twitter? Don’t work against them, work with them. By using the “RT” (retweet) tag, you’ll be tweeting their information to your followers. It’s sharing of information, and it shows that you want to provide them with the best information out there that can help them, not just take their money and run.
There’s also Tweebay, where you can bid and buy through Twitter. Notify people that are following you of new items, and potentially reach new customers via the Twitter search option.
