Grow Your eBay Business – Use Your About Me Page to Generate Leads

Article writing is a technique used by bloggers to generate traffic to their blogs. eBay sellers can also this technique for increasing traffic to their stores. There are many sites where you can submit articles for publication on the internet such as eZine Articles, Articles Base, and Go Articles. You are not paid to submit articles, much like you are not paid to write your own blog, but there are several advantages to article writing.

First, these are quality links on quality sites. Article writing is much different than throwing up a bunch of your links on groups and forums. Take a look at my bio page on eZine Articles. I’ve only been submitting articles for about a year, and started as a way to direct traffic to my eBooks on eBay (when eBooks were still allowed). You can see that my articles have had over 15,000 page views in about 13 months. Not a bad return for submitting about 3 articles a month during that time.

Second, if you have a speciality niche, you can find potential customers looking for your product. Customers seeking what you sell may find your articles online when using search engines to find your product. For example, if you sell BMW collectibles, you can submit articles about BMWs. Some of your readers will end up in your eBay store for a look.

Third, article writing is free advertising. Just write some decent content that is related to what you sell online, and include your link at the end of the article.

Fourth, the purpose of these article sites is to serve as a source of content for eZines, newsletters, blogs, and websites. Article writing is viral marketing at its best – you want your articles to be picked up by other people and posted in as many places as possible on the internet. So, write your articles, put them out there, and let them take on a life of their own.
