How to sell your items on Blogger

You have options on how to sell directly from your Blogger account. This option is absolutely Free. NO listing and NO final value fees. The only fee you will see; is from Google Checkout once payment has been processed. The fee is less than what PayPal and other payment options charge you.

 

First Step

Create a Blogger Account – Free and easy

Once you have opened your account; go ahead and design it and input content, intro and spend some time creating the About Me page.

 

Second Step

Get a Google Checkout account opened

You will need

-FEIN Number or Two Forms of ID

-Website address (if you have it)

-Checking Account (for deposits)

then presto! You will have a Google Checkout account to accept Credit Card payments!!

 

Third Step

Create a post with your listing. See Example below

Go back to your Google account and obtain a Checkout Button

 

Fourth Step

Preview your posting

Publish

 

Five Step

Drive traffic to your site

List in Craigslist, Backpage, OLX, Kijiji and Oodle all these sites offer Free Classifieds and have millions of users visiting everyday.

 

Final Step

Repeat…Repeat and Repeat

 

Do not get frustrated or discourage. It takes time to get a feeling of the marketplace and to develop your own method.  This would be a great time to visit other listings and to work on email templates, flyers and Newsletters.

Build your email database, you will get a few Spammers but mostly will be actual leads. Keep it simple and always invite your Buyers to ask questions and provide them with methods to communicate with you instantly.

The internet is all about INSTANT gratification. Open IM accounts or keep your email open.

With patience and determination YOU will SUCCEED!
