35-minute podcast explains exactly how to use StumbleUpon, Facebook, and Digg to network and grow your eBay business. Keep in mind that the idea behind interacting on these sites is NOT to push your eBay products, put up a bunch of repetitive ads, or sell your "stuff." That won’t work, and it isn’t the point anyway.
You’re going to use these sites to make connections, talk to people, see what they are doing, ask questions, find out what they know about, and expose yourself to more people. These people may do eBay, they may not. You’re going to want to join groups on these sites – such as eBay groups, business groups, ecommerce groups, internet groups, work at home groups, and local groups in your area, what ever your interests may be.
You want to step outside your comfort zone and expose yourself to new things. Imagine these social sites like they are a huge trade show. Everyone there has something to offer. We already know that or they wouldn't be there in the first place. But the more people you talk to, the more opportunities you have to learn, make connections, and meet people who can tell other people about you. These sites are not the place to push your products on people – it will not work!
Also, I've written a new mini-eBook about items to buy at garage sales to resell for profit. Feel free to share this link with others in your groups and forums who may be starting out on eBay and aren't sure about what to look for at garage sales.
The next podcast will address the pros and cons of drop shipping. That seems to be a hot topic.
Happy selling-
Suzanne Wells
