How to Get People to Buy Your Stuff

We had up to 300 customers per day, just a fraction of our eBay exposure.

“How do I get people to buy my stuff???” I hear you ask. Actually, that’s almost the whole of the conversation these days, because marketing isn’t like it used to be, and to begin with, that’s the wrong question.

It isn’t “How do I get people to buy my stuff?”, it’s “How do I get people to just L@@K at my stuff???”, and that’s the hardest question to answer, especially when you’re talking about online sales and marketing.

Let’s say that you’ve just invented the greatest tag line ever invented. Let’s say the tag line is “Cut Your Food Budget by 90%!!!”, which is the ultimate Breakfast-Table Subject. Continue reading

Can You Sell This???

You’re about to enter into the greatest online marketing game on the internet!

It’s the new internet game show, “Can You Sell This???” The game tonight is to meet the marketing challenge on this page — that means to try to sell everything on the page at full retail. Ready to begin?

The way it works is you grab a screenshot of the items you want to sell, and use those screenshots to sell the item, maybe on your web page or social media outlet — don’t forget to mark it up double, to get your full retail.

This is a way that you can use a multi-million dollar inventory without putting a single penny out of pocket, and you can start your own online gift shop this way, without having to spend anything to get started, and you’ll have hundreds of items on the virtual shelves!

Here’s a two-inch square “Empty Classified Document Folder” button you ought to be able to sell at $5.99 retail, and for a while, everybody will know what your button means. After that, it’ll be a collectible. If you get into a jam and you need some extra cash, you might sell the button to the highest bidder.

You Need to Know This

These paper plates can be mounted in deep frames to look like ceramics.

If you’re a stock clerk or on floor sales or you’re a buyer or an assistant buyer, it’s important — vital, actually — that you should be more or less constantly aware of ALL the currently stored and shelved merchandise, and I mean the ENTIRE line of merchandise.

Of course, in this age of automation and e-gadgets, nobody does that anymore. You simply enter the code or name or description of the thing, and you get a spread-sheet with all the particulars delivered right to your micro-screen on your Precious — I refer to your ever-clutched cellphone — what else could I mean?

Huge Warehouse, Big Sale Today!

For Sale, at incredibly fair prices, an entire warehouse of over 2,000 amazing work-related items, totally unique to this planet, and found nowhere else but in my shops on zazzle.

I’ve had a few things shipped to me, to inspect the quality and assure myself that they are sending out good products. Rest assured, they are.

Permit me to tell you the story once again:

Five years ago, I loaded my zazzle shop with about 2,000 products, and assumed that everyone could see them as well as I could.

I was wrong. Continue reading

Yet Another Talk???

I’m painting again, now that there’s a market.

You don’t want to end up with a couple dozen storage units full of unsold art, so I taper off my production when sales are down. These days, I can’t work fast enough to satisfy the marketplace, which is maybe a good thing.

But, yeah, this is going to be yet another talk about eBay and that sort of thing — you know, marketing, entrepreneurship and general media mayhem, and we have to do it soon, before the Second American Civil War breaks out. Even before we start back on subject, I want to mention that THIS is the time to acquire Pre-War coins, and I have plenty for sale.

That having been said, let’s get on with the thing.

First of all, I want to make sure you have an eBay account. I’m not discounting other selling sites, but I’m restricting my selling characteristics to the eBay mode for the moment. We will discuss other means of presenting merchandise to the public.

Forgive me, I meant, of course, “merch”, not “merchandise”. The reason for the shortened word is always the same — spelling is a major obstacle to most people, even college graduates. Continue reading

Can We Talk???

I’ve been waiting for you all this time…where have you been???

If I could grab you by the lapel and show you what I discovered, I would, so consider it done, take it as written that you have been thus accosted, and smile. You’re in luck.

What I found out is that I can tweak the eBay sales system to make it serve the Boddhisattva Vow and at the same time make you a good living, or at least a side-hustle income, like what I bring in.

The thing is, there IS a secret, and nobody knows it — yet. Soon enough, it’ll be all over the place, because nothing succeeds like success. Continue reading

CRYPTO USB NFT EJ Gold “Rome 3 Extreme” – edition of 100 – Lot of 10 for $390.00

Find out how to sell stuff online, without actually owning things. How? You have but to inquire of me in one of our morning meetings how YOU can help the community by offering things for sale without having to buy them or store them or ship them. You can sell, we drop-ship deliver for you. But what about digital downloads?

Here’s what I thought would be a good pitch for a digital download, but I strongly suggest against eBay as a venue — they are NOT friendly to game developers, and every single download costs YOU $9.95 in advance whether the item sells or not, and it’s only one at a time, no multiple listings. Forget it, there are plenty of other venues for selling videogames, and eBay generally is a big stone wall against which your voice trembles and collapses into a ball of dust.

Oh, it’s not that they’re not friendly — they are, in a cold-blooded corporate sort of fashion, quite friendly, and they’ll read you the rules and regulations over and over again, but they can’t offer advice or explain what the hell it all means. It’s not their fault; it’s just that their rules and regulations were made to keep the little guy down, and fill the pockets of the greedy bastards who control and run eBay, that’s all.

We ARE the little guy, and they never let us forget it.

So I’ll show you the wording I came up with for a classified digital download listing on eBay, even though I clicked off and will have nothing to do with it, and I’ll tell you why. The fact is, when you pay ten bucks for the ad, that’s the same as the cost of a flash drive, and it’s ME that has to pay the extra ten bucks to list it.

I clearly can’t list a thing for $20.00 bucks when I can offer the same digital download on Payloads for much less, and I don’t have to pay in advance, like I do with eBay, and I don’t pay for what I don’t sell, which is also different from the eBay deal.

So here’s the wording for a digital download:

It Worked!!!

I’m thinking of completing this and listing it on eBay. What do you think?

So I tried using the same techniques on eBay that I’ve been using on youtube, and by golly, it worked!

Same exact things do exactly the same on each venue. I can bump up the “view” rate and increase the number of bids, using the same skills and getting the same outcomes. Continue reading

NFT Magic Charms

Coming Soon: UTILITY NFTs!

Utility? Yes, my NFTs have utility. They carry Blessings and Power Prayers and release them in your cellphone through the MetaMask Wallet, making your cellphone a source of potent spiritual energy.

What it does, in fact, is initiate a tiny Vortex inside your cellphone, which creates a funnel-effect, connecting a High Remedy with your MetaMask Wallet, which in turn does a synaptic jump direct to you.

You will notice the slight “blast-effect” in your heart, feeling slightly or greatly uplifted in the process. Continue reading

The List

If you want to promote a book, use the sales page as your target, or “landing” page. These people are NOT verified by me as good, effective or reliable, but I will test them and report back to you on results.

The first on the list, although not necessarily better than the others, is “pronomics”, which promises an interview on iHeart radio — you can listen for yourself to see if if meets your expectations, but the real test is, “did you sell any books???”.

The result of any sales campaign should be checkable by reviewing the increase in sales during the campaign. Continue reading
