Ebay Store vs. Ecommerce Website

You may be trying to decide how to go ahead with your dreams of an online product sales business. Many times a new product seller is torn between creating an eBay store and setting up a web store on your own domain. Because many sellers get their feet wet by offering a few products on eBay, it’s easy to move smoothly into an eBay store, but is it the right choice for your business?

Positioning is Everything
The first thing to remember is that there isn’t anything magical about setting up an eBay store. Some have the idea that an eBay store gets better exposure online than other options. This just isn’t true. An eBay store only gets as much attention as you stir up for it.

eBay users, the people who do find your store, tend to be looking to pay as little as possible for whatever they want. If you’re looking to make a good profit on your products, a traditional web store is usually a better choice. People who find your web store are more likely to be looking for a good product, not just a bargain.

Financially Speaking.
There are costs involved in creating a presence on the web. When you use a Basic eBay Store, you pay the monthly $15.95* plus any insertion and final value fees. With a Watersweb Shop Kit Plus, you get started with one time license fee and a flat rate of $10 per month. You own your shopping cart and never pay any additional insertion or final value fees on your sales.

Let’s Compare Costs For A New Shop Owner.
If you sell 10 products a month for a full year, each valued at about $25 through an eBay store. You would have sold over $3,000 and paid $417 in costs. With Shop Kit Plus, you’re costs would only be $205.00.

Another Comparison.
The difference in fees gets more noticeable as you grow more successful. If you sell 100 products a month for a full year, each valued at about $25 through an eBay store. You would have sold over $30,000 and paid $2,599 in costs. With Shop Kit Plus, you would still only have paid $205.00 in costs. The only time your costs would increase is if you needed additional storage space, server resources or bandwidth. And then your additional costs are still fixed — instead of growing with each additional sale.

It’s Smart Business
It is better to start now with the big picture in mind. Starting a website now means that all of your time spent in promoting your business will have long term value. As you spread the word, you share your domain name and people will remember it.

With some simple search engine optimization tactics you’ll soon start to receive good traffic from the big search engines. At Watersweb Shops, we include several resources to our new store owners for learning how to market your site, optimize for the search engines and target the people who are looking for your product.

You Can Still Use eBay
Once you have your store ready to go, if you want to reach the eBay crowd, list a few items and put a link to your website in your About Me page. This can be a great option for selling your clearance items — that won’t eat up your profits.

A Tiny Change To Multiply Sales

There is a secret to making your website more accessible to anybody who tries to access it while at the same time increasing signups for newsletters, ezines, ecourses, opt-in, sales, or whatever else you’re trying to get in front of more people. When I first learned the technique I thought it was too technical, but it is actually extremely easy.

I’m talking about using the error pages that come up when somebody doesn’t enter the URL correctly, or for some other reason is taken to an error message. Perhaps you’ve already noticed how major sites have personalized error notification pages and wondered, “Wow, how do they do that?” A lot of websites that know how to do this correctly still don’t even know how to make money doing it.

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty how-to segment to make this work wonders. What you need to do is create an “.htaccess” file and upload it to the server where your site is hosted. If you have no idea how to upload a file to your hosting service, most providers have how-to sections on that or you can download SmartFTP for free which has easy to follow video tutorials. Open the notepad on your computer since we’ll be creating a new simple text file that will make miracles happen.

All you need to do in this text file is add a few lines that will tell your server to redirect visitors to the page of your choice instead of the typical error message. Let’s just focus on three of the most common errors so you’ll get the hang of this. On the first line of the text file type “ErrorDocument 403 put-URL-here” and of course change the text that says “put-URL-here” with the complete URL of your choice. Then, instead of visitors getting the typical white text page that says Error403 they’ll see the website you inserted!

This gets pretty exciting, especially if your site gets lots of traffic. Before I implemented this tactic my site got about one thousand error messages in a single month, and I’m sure most of those visitors were lost to me forever. Next line in the text file should say “ErrorDocument 400 put-URL-here” and the line after that should say “ErrorDocument 404 put-URL-here”. Your file should now be properly prepared to redirect visitors to the page of your choice when a server error occurs.

Now we need to make your document functional. In Notepad you can go ahead and save it as htaccess.txt for now. Now log in to your server and upload the file to your site’s root directory (that’s the main one where all the main pages are). Don’t put it into the subdirectories.

Once you’re online with your server’s interface and you’ve uploaded the text file, use the server’s interface to rename the document, and instead of being “htaccess.txt” you should rename it “.htaccess” with no file name extension. Don’t forget to include the period at the beginning of the name of the file or else this won’t work for you. You’re all set!

To test that you’ve gotten the settings right, type your main domain name into your browser then backslash anything you want. For example, yoursite dot com slash blahblahblah and instead of getting the typical Error404 message you should see the URL you put into the .htaccess file you just uploaded. If this didn’t work for you, review the steps. If you still have trouble, contact your server’s support line and they should be able to guide you to making it work.

Many hosting providers have forms on their interface that allow you to do this very simply by filling in the blanks, but the system I’ve outlined here for you today will work universally. Enjoy the bigger profits!
