How eBay Blogs Can Help You to Advertise Your Auctions

Ebay Blogs is one of the newest features eBay has to offer. This is great news for sellers on eBay. You can easily create your own blog to advertise all of your auctions. Ebay Blogs has constant traffic from other eBay members. You can create a post and within seconds you will see comments from other eBayers. More attention to your auctions equals more bids.

If you list auctions on a regular basis, you must start an eBay blog. Last week, I beefed up my blog. Then I made a few comments on other eBay Blogs after listing a bunch of auctions. The results were remarkable. Every auction I listed sold, and my sales were higher than normal. There is no tracking system in place to verify these bids came from the eBay blogs. But I believe blogging does help eBay sales. The blogs are also bringing in additional customers via search engine traffic.

The postings you may find in eBay blogs are varied. You may write some humorous article that has nothing to do with eBay at all. This seems to get a lot of attention and comments on my blog. Many people write about the products they are selling. The other day I read a post from a seller that was explaining his wife just left him. He said the only thing that might cheer him up would be bids on his auctions. It is OK to be a little crazy on your eBay blog.

To start a blog, go to the eBay community section. Then click on eBay blogs and start your own blog. In the customize section you can choose what type of blog template you want. To add an avatar, click on view my world and edit image. You have option of changing template or avatar at any time. The add content feature in the view my world section is a useful tool in creating your eBay blog. This allows you to show all your eBay listings, biography, guestbook and eBay neighborhoods. An eBay neighborhood is a subject of interest that you share with other eBay bloggers. This might be anything from people that love coffee to animal lovers. You can also embed YouTube, Google video and eBay To Go on your blog.

If you want to make more money on eBay, I would definitely recommend creating a blog. Just be careful, eBay blogs can be addicting. It is easy to spend an evening reading and responding to the constant posting on the blogs.
