eBay Dropship Sellers: Are You Using Social Media Marketing?
Posted by Amanda Brooke on Sat, May 08, 2010 @ 08:40 AM
If you are like a lot of eBay dropship sellers, it’s hard to make any money these days and using social media marketing to boost your eBay sales is something you should think about doing.
First of all, if you are going to get any advertisement for your eBay listings, it is becoming increasingly obvious that you’ll have to do it yourself as eBay doesn’t seem inclined to pay for such unimportant little trifles like advertising anymore.
With the average small to medium sized eBay seller experiencing the lowest sales ever, one would think that eBay would invest a few dollars of those outrageous fees they are constantly raising in advertising to try and drum up some business for the faltering site.
This seems logical, doesn’t it?

However, it might be a little unrealistic to expect logic from the powers-that-be on FeeBay, as past experience has shown us during the past couple of years.
Anyhow, since you are apparently going to be forced to use DIY advertising in an attempt to increase your eBay sales, what better method than social media marketing?
It isn’t all that easy, but it isn’t rocket science either and most people can get the hang of it fairly quickly. Plus, it’s FREE.
Many eBay sellers have a one or two person operation, so trying to spread yourself too thin by covering multiple social platforms isn’t a realistic goal. Instead, focus on two or three of the giants such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Twitter and Facebook are becoming more and more ecommerce friendly, and you might be surprised at how much new traffic you can get from these social sites!
YouTube is a natural for social media marketing because people all over the world love to watch videos.
You don’t have to hire a professional studio to make a short video for YouTube. Almost any digital camera with video function, or home video camera, or even a cell phone can produce a nice little video for YouTube.
Your video should correlate in some way with your presence and/or products on eBay. Make it catchy, throw in some humor, and who knows? It might go viral!
If you are an eBay dropship seller or other type of eBay seller who is tired of falling sales, try leveraging the power of social media marketing to help grow your profits!
