RANT – What the eBay Affiliate Program is Missing Part 1 – Celebrity Endorsements!

by Barbara

eBay affiliate program rant #1As you probably can tell from this site, I utterly adore the eBay affiliate program – it’s helped me generate a 6 figure income in years past!

But still, even as worshipful as I might be, I can still admit when things could, how shall I say, be improved.  Thus begins my series about what the eBay Affiliate program is missing – hope you enjoy it!

Quite frankly, I’m certain you’ll agree with me that

eBay == Weird Al

to most consumers is, well, kinda sorta frustrating to the max. 

eBay is missing Top Celebrity Credibility!!

True!  He did immortalize it like so:

but couldn’t the eBay affiliate program use….a different form of celebrity sparkle? 

Perhaps, oh, Cap’t Picard could endorse it like so:

Make it So,eBay

or perhaps Bon Jovi could sing

Woah, hoah, we’re halfway there, woah, hoh, I’m livin’ on a bear! (that I won on eBay!)….

So what do YOU think?  Which celebrity should get the word out and endorse eBay?

I think that if the world knew how truly steller the eBay affiliate program was, there would be far less bloggers who are frustrated trying to make money online….

Enjoy,

Barbara

Very good article. I’d like to see Harrison Ford endorse eBay. I think he could sell a lot of whips. :)

Harrison Ford is old news – the new kid, Shia LaBeouf would be perfect to tell people they should sell on eBay. After all, eBay was highlighted on Transformers.

I LOVED Transformers! Especially the part, Don’t walk on the grass! When you’re a parent, you can walk on your OWN grass!

How much do I love your site? You know, I am an eBay affiliate, not to mention an eBay PowerSeller, and I rarely use their affiliate program.

Shhh… I also rarely mention my own store on my site.

I am clearly missing something here. Which is a colossal shame because I also write an eBay column on sparkplugging.com

So double shhhh… don’t tell Wendy Piersall, by sparkplugging boss.

Hey Megan,

Thanks for your comment! It seems like not many people know about how great the eBay affiliate program is, that’s why I’m starting this humor series. Stay tuned – I think you’ll find it most amusing!

Best wishes,

Barbara

Hi Barbara,
I’m sure many of us are leaving money on the table when it comes to eBay.  You have certainly opened my eyes to make the most of it.

Great idea after your p.s. how you include ebay items.  I haven’t seen this as part of eBay Editor Kit or do you enter each item seperately?  Thank you & look forward to feedback.
