I must admit that this past holiday season was a true milestone for me personally. I never set foot within a major shopping mall or Super Walmart this last Holiday season. I purchased every single gift either online through Amazon.com, Buy.com or eBay. While that may not be a surprise for those of you tech and Internet savvy readers but I would wager that the major retailers in America are cringing at the reality of those words. America is now shopping On-Line more extensively and if you are paying millions of dollars per month for retail space in crowded malls, your not liking this version of reality.

As eBay sellers we are strongly positioned to take advantage of this new and exciting (for us) reality. eBay itself is trying very hard to morph into a destination which makes the mall type of shopper comfortable enough to forgo the entire crowded mall shopping experience.... Amazon.com has already seemingly made that transition.

eBay is strongly looking at what Amazon.com does to provide buyers with an online purchasing experience that makes them comfortable and brings them back time after time. If eBay is at least somewhat successful in modifying the eBay shopping experience, in a good way, to compete with Amazon.com... we all will be more successful eBay sellers.

Last weekend I attended a seminar put on by the Internet Marketing Center.  The seminar is geared towards selling a information product/course originally developed by Corey Rudl and now run by Derek Gehl.  The sales pitch was a bit long and overdone but the information gained while sitting in the audience was well worth the endless pitch. 

Most of what I learned was in the areas of SEO and keyword targeting for long sales letter websites. But there was a good explanation included about why businesses should look at involving themselves in eBay as a traffic generation technique.  Of course the "real" information is included in the course material (for sale at the unbelievable one time price of...)

The gist of what they say is correct even though I would not consider most of the Derek Gehl eBay course information up to date or even advanced (Most of what they teach is basic techniques which can be found on the eBay help pages).  They are on point with the concept that eBay is not a good avenue towards developing a primary source of income for anyone, not even a business...

What eBay is... is... a revenue stream and an advertising venue with incredible SEO advantages for any business! 

What Derek Gehl says about eBay should be read and understood by every business owner in America... Continue reading “What eBay is… is… a revenue stream and an advertising venue with incredible SEO advantages for any business! Derek Gehl and the Internet Marketing Center Agree” »
