I've been thinking a lot about how I could sell more of my items outside of ebay. I could start up a store, but that takes just as much time and work as listing the items on eBay and there are still fees to be paid. I could set up an area on the main site (which I had been planning to do) but loading the photos onto the server and all just takes a lot of time and effort. Then it came to me!
Why not set up a blog and use that as my selling platform. It's easy to load photos into the blogs now, there are no fees for doing so and no final price fees - 100% free and easy to do and manage.
The way I plan to use it is whenever I get new items in, I'll load up the photos as a preview. In the preview, I'll give the cup or other item a unique number and a "buy it now" price. Then if someone wants the cup, I can sell it quickly with no fees involved. If nobody wants it for the buy it now price, then I will list it on auction whenever I can.
Of course, I'll also place adsense ads so there is a chance to add a bit of money there too (what a concept...getting paid to list items for sale instead of the other way around!)
I think this will work perfect for previews of items I will be listing. I don't think it will be difficult to get people to go and see...I will just use a list of past winners and let them know I will be previewing my items from now on. I'm hoping this will help the turnover of the cups (since I'm not wrapping them) to generate a bigger income in less time.
You can take a look at the new preview blog at sakecups.blogspot.com - very basic set up and only a bunch of test posts at the moment, but I will work on it a bit tomorrow and hopefully have a few preview items up.
