Selling Comic Books on eBay - Avoiding Big Mistake #4

There are 6 big mistakes most comic book sellers make selling their comics on eBay. Here is...

BIG MISTAKE #4 - NOT USING GREAT PHOTOS ON YOUR eBAY LISTING

Since you are selling your comics through an online auction and your potential buyers cannot actually pickup and hold the item in front of them, you will need to use the best possible photos that you can of your item.

Your photos are the only *real* association your potential buyers have with what you are trying to sell. So your photos are CRITICAL. Use multiple photos and angles. Many people make a BIG MISTAKE by only including one photo of their comics. The more photos you can show people, the better.

You should take multiple angles of the comics that you're selling -- a front view, a top view, a side view, and maybe even a close-up as well as a "wide" shot.

On comics that are rare and pricey, you will want to show pictures of the spine, front cover, back cover and at least the front inside page. This will let buyers know if there is spine wear, tears, water damage, tape or other imperfections in your comic. This is especially important if you're selling: Golden age, Silver Age or some rare hard-to-find comics.

So make sure you use the best possible photos of your item since that is what many buyers will use to make a decision on whether they will bid on your item or not. The better your pictures, the better your chances of getting the best price for your comics.

Ebook Basics - Writing A Best Seller

Writing an ebook is a great way to make money online. Although there are millions of people who make money this way, there are millions of others who commit significant time and effort developing a great product, but fail to generate any sales at all. This can be very discouraging.

Although there is no guarantee that any product you create will sell, there is one way to give your product the best chance possible. You need to research your topic BEFORE writing a single word. Do a search to determine what kind of demand exists for products in that particular area. I can almost guarantee you that your ebook on 'How to Raise Penguins' will not make you rich. That's because very few people are interested in raising penguins. On the other hand, your ebook on 'How to Cure the Common Cold' may make you very very wealthy in a matter of hours!

As you can see, certain subjects sell better than others. If your product is on a hot subject that is in demand, you will generate sales. If it is in a genre that does poorly, you will find it difficult to make money.

As a general rule of thumb, fiction ebooks do not usually sell very well unless your name is Stephen King. If you are interested in creating a work of fiction, you might be better off by considering one of the more traditional publishing methods.

On the other hand, certain types of non-fiction are great sellers. 'How to' ebooks with mass market appeal sell very well. Mass market appeal means that people all over the world are interested in that subject. Some of the best selling topics instruct you how to; build something, solve a common problem, cure something, or start a business.

Collectors and hobbyists are also big ebook buyers. If you are knowledgeable in this area and have an interesting angle, you may have a best seller on your hands. Collectors and hobbyists are very active buyers if you can find the right topic.
