Make money with the eBay Affiliate Program – Part 1 – Unlearn What You Have Learned

Make money with the eBay Affiliate ProgramMorning!

The sun is shining (okay, blatant lie, it’s cloudy and about to storm), the birdies are mooing (somewhat more true; they’re tweeting up a storm), the cows are tweeting (Cows?  In the city?) and it’s time to cry to the universe:

Oh Universe, why must I leave my chair to brew coffee?  Why can’t coffee spontaneously appear in my cup?

Such are the questions that have confounded mankind since the dawn of rollerblades.

But I digress.  🙂

Let’s talk money! 

No, let’s talk about making money! 

No, let’s talk about making money with the (insert dramatic drumroll here!) eBay affiliate program!

As you’re probably aware if you’ve scanned my sidebar, I live for the eBay affiliate program!  Well, okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration – I really live for my family, my friends, my morning coffee in between which nobody gets if they value their lives.  But the point remains!

The eBay affiliate program allows you to monetize virtually ANY niche imaginable.  For example, my metablogging site Ask Owlbert follows a Macgyver theme.   You tell me now…from where ELSE could I get Macgyver items from which I could generate great commissions?

Hmmm?

I’ve used the eBay Affiliate Program to monetize sites dealing with:

  • Kitchens
  • Construction
  • Power tools
  • Nascar
  • Bacteria textbooks
  • Math software
  • Beads
  • Feathers
  • RVs
  • Volvos

You name it, I’ve probably built it.  Hence this series!

The FIRST thing you have to do to make money with the eBay affiliate program is (and I quote from Yoga)

Unlearn….what you have learned!

It’s not like Adsense where you fling in the code and hope someone clicks.  Heck no! 

The eBay Affiliate Program lets you add targeted niche items to your individual posts as well.  For example, let’s say that instead of making money with the eBay Affiliate Program , this post centered instead upon collecting Albert Payson Terhune books.   I could close it with

ps – and speaking about Albert Payson Terhune, have you read:

What if this post centered instead on how a Venus Fly Trap tried eating one of my TwitterBudgies?

How about:

ps – Other plants that go "chomp!" include:

Or what if I had just finished blogging about a quick reference guide to p90x and strength training?  I could add:

ps – Thinking about buying P90x at a discount?  Lookie here!

See how it works?

The eBay Affiliate Program lets you monetize your post, (no matter what it’s about!)  with targeted items upon which your readers almost certainly will click.

So!  Unlearn what you have learned – don’t be content with just slapping in affiliate code and going along your merry way.  Target your affiliate audience even finer by delivering precisely-focused visual graphics of goodies in which they can indulge via an impulse buy – it should drive your eBay affiliate commission up ever higher and higher.
