How do you gain eBay views?

[iTopz]

I'm not after some quick fix, nor a golden secret, more so I am after general rules which the layman may not know.

For instance, my last product was an ebook for £5, which was fairly decent. It sold 2 copies, but only received 50 views in the month it was up, which I think is pretty poor.

Anyone got any general tips to up your views, or 'valuable views' at least? Thanks.

Good deacription/keywords, a decent picture and a proper description. Beyond that, it's the paid for services like highlight & bold or featured listings, whatever they're called these days.

Maybe look into affiliates to sell on you behalf. Would you rather sell two a month for £5 each or 100 a month for £5 each but give the affiliates half of it?

Have you got an item number and I'll take a look and give you some pointers

Sorry, what do you mean by affiliates? As in selling my product to webstores etc? Because I doubt my product is that 'official' or in demand. Thanks anyway, I may work on keywords etc.

affiliates is having sumone sell your products in your behalf.

Keywords and social networking websites is what I use.

Hi iTopz
as discussed above keywords tend to be the most important things and a paid solution like Terapeak (its Ebay specific) is really worth using if you are planning to do this for the long term.

Cheers

Keywords, good listing title, gallery picture - ALL important BUT if you're going for a highly competitive keyword, you really should get TRS (Top Rated Seller) status as that's the most important element in Best Match algorithm, straight after selling history.

Standard conversion rate there me old mucker.

1%.

Just as a side thought, £5 for an ebook could be expensive....what is the niche?

Terapeak for keywords and professional looking templates.
