How to Make Money on Wizzley with Ebay and Viglink

Adding Ebay as a vendor brings a new level of earnings to Wizzley.  However, I have found that many publishers do not utilize Ebay as a way to make money because they are either not knowledgeable about Ebay at all, or because they have not had good experiences in the past trying to make money from Ebay products.

There are only a small percentage of online publishers who use Ebay effectively as a vendor.  This is unfortunate, because Ebay can be a very lucrative vendor.

Most people get frustrated because they do not understand how Ebay works.  This is especially true if you are not an Ebay buyer or seller.  This was the case for me, and I had to learn to understand how most readers viewed Ebay.

If you are not someone who shops on Ebay, then you need to learn the Ebay shopping culture.  Ebay is pretty unique to online selling, and although there are competitors to Ebay's way of doing business, Ebay is still the king of their market.

To use Ebay effectively on a Wizzley article, you have to understand why people shop on Ebay.  Most people that are Ebay shoppers are either looking for a bargain, cheaper merchandise than they would find in a store, or they are looking for second hand, used, obsolete, or vintage merchandise.

To give an example, my sister lives in California, and bought her kitchen appliances from a vendor on Ebay who was actually in New England.  She was able to get a better price including the shipping from New England to California than she could in her local stores.

The first thing to do is go directly to Ebay.  Search for the item you are looking for.  Letting the module do the searching for you will give you inferior results.  I also recommend this for Amazon.  For this demonstration, I will walk you step by step through an example of how to search on Ebay.

The best way to start a search on Ebay is to look under all categories.  Then narrow down your search using keywords until you get the right items that you are looking for.  When you search under the wider keyword terms, you may get more ideas of keywords and subheadings that will fit into your article or series of articles.  I will use any term that has at least approximately 10 items listed for sale.  Once you have the keywords and search narrowed down, you can go back to Wizzley's module and recreate the search.  I always have Ebay fill in the module so that it will stay full, and I do not have to fix it too often.

If for some reason, you get some items in your list that shouldn’t be there, you can add a -keyword to remove those items.  For instance, I always get Barbie clothes when I search for bridal items, so I put -barbie in my search term a few spaces after my keyword.  You do not have to limit the -keyword in your search term, you can have as many as you need to narrow down the choices to exactly what you want to show up.

With the Viglink affiliate system, you do not have to use the Wizzley module to make money from Ebay on Wizzley.  You can include text links inside your paragraph directly to Ebay, and Viglink will affiliate them.  If you haven't joined Viglink, you can sign up in your Wizzley account settings.

In order for your links to be the most successful, you should link directly to a product or a product search page.  Do not just link to Ebay's front page.  This will not save your reader any time or effort.
