I just received an email from a subscriber who asked…
“What suggestions do you have regarding writing copy fast? ”
She is referring to the auction descriptions and how much time it takes to write them.?
Here’s my reply to her:
Yes, writing descriptions for multiple listings can be time consuming.? One thing you can do is take more pictures and let them do the talking.? Then just add a few sentences about the condition and point out anything unusual or noteworthy (features, included accessories, etc.)? ? Just make sure your pictures are not too large.? I have some lessons on www.30dayauctionchallenge.com that show you how to take pictures.
The most important things about your listing are (in this order):
Product Itself (is it a product that people want?)
The Title (you have 55 characters to both describe the item and include keywords that people will search for)
Gallery Picture
Pictures in the auction
Description
See how far down the description is on the list?? Get the other 4 things right and you can scrimp on the description.?
Try using an assembly line technique:
1)? ? ? ? ? ? Take all the pictures for all the items at the same time.
2)? ? ? ? ? ? Crop and prepare the pictures and upload them to your picture hosting service.
3)? ? ? ? ? ? Use a template to prepare the auctions.
4)? ? ? ? ? ? List the auctions on ebay using Turbo Lister.
I have lessons that cover most of this at www.30dayauctionchallenge.com
