Yahoo Auctions is now Free!

by Ratliff J

Here is some great news if you are currently earning a living or making some extra cash through auctions or were considering it. Yahoo Auctions has announced that they will stop charging fees for US based auctions. This is designed for the consumer auctions primarily but has very important implications for internet marketers as well. “Yahoo! Auctions has changed its pricing to create a model that is free for all consumers listing items on our Auctions platform. We have eliminated all fees associated with Auctions listings, including listing fees and final value fees. Many users have been asking for this type of structure, and we are happy to provide it as a way to strengthen our partnership with the seller community and clearly demonstrate our commitment to our sellers' success. The new pricing model will go into effect Monday, June 6, 2005“ Visit http://auctions.yahoo.com/phtml/auc/us/promo/announcements.html for the full story. What does this mean for you? Simple. If you ever wanted to make money online and stopped because auction sites charge to even list an item (plus then the fee a the end of the auction), then this is a great timeto try out this business model and make some extra money. We all have items laying around the house (and to tell you the truth, fleamarkets and garage sales can be an absolute treasure trove too) that could be worth a lot of money to someone else and you thought it was just junk.

How To Make MORE Money After Your Auction Is Over!

by Karol Gajda

***************************************************************** How To Make MORE Money After Your Auction Is Over! ***************************************************************** Here's the scenario: You just sold a widget for $15.78. It cost you $8. Not too bad a profit, huh? But wouldn't you like to at least try to make a little bit more? If your auction business is running on very tight margins, then even getting an extra 10 cents per auction could do wonders for you, am I right? One of the ways to add a bit of cha-ching to your auction business (the other ways will be written about in the future) is the following: In my end of auction e-mail I include an affiliate link to a Web site, or to one of my own Web sites. What do I mean? Well, let's say it was me who just sold the $15.78 widget. After the auction is over I send the winning bidder an e-mail congratulating him or her on their win and explaining to them how to proceed with payment. But right in the middle of the e-mail I include a little money maker that looks like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for products to sell on eBay?! Look no further than the Drop Ship Source Directory. Find thousands upon thousands of awesome products...and you don't have to pay for them until you make a sale! Click here for more information: http://www.freeauctionprofits.com/cgi-bin racker.cgi?dsnews ----------------------------------------------------------------- See how easy that was?

You make over $17 per sale! And you also get paid for sales your affiliates make. My recommendation is to pick 1 affiliate program and stick with it for a few months. If it's not working out for you, choose another. If that one's not working, choose another, and so on. *Free Auction Profits has a great 50% affiliate program at http://www.freeauctionprofits.com/affiliates.html hint, hint :) Where do you find these affiliate programs to join? My favorite are: eBooks from Clickbank.com: http://www.freeauctionprofits.com/cgi-bin racker.cgi?cbanknews Drop Ship Source Directory: http://www.freeauctionprofits.com/cgi-bin racker.cgi?dsnews Commission Junction: http://www.cj.com These are all free to join, and there's tons of money to be made with them. I'll share more of my favorite affiliate programs in the future. For now, this should be enough for you to experiment with. One last recommendation I have on affiliate programs: I don't promote anything I haven't purchased and benefited from myself. You might want to do the same so you know you're promoting a quality product.
