So you’ve decided to sell your Harry Potter books online; what’s the next step? Well, there are plenty of sites to sell goods from, but because you’re dealing with books, you may want to check out Half.com or Amazon.com first. These sites specialize in books and small media entertainment, therefore the kinds of viewers visiting the site are already the kinds of potential customers you want viewing your advertisement.
Once you’ve registered with the site, get a feel for how other products are listed. What kinds of keywords are being used? What kinds of products are in demand right now? When you better understand how other users are currently selling their products, you will be better equipped to make your first post.
Pricing is the next step, and a difficult one at that. Entire courses in graduate business school programs are devoted to pricing models! Back to the Harry Potter books; if you price them too low, you will get a buyer but may be losing potential revenue from your sale. On the other hand, if you price the books too high, no one will want to buy the books at all! It is recommended to do some pricing research first to determine what an appropriate price would be for a given item. How are other users pricing books that are in similar condition? Once you understand how to make a post and how to price your good, then it’s time to finalize the advertisement by posting it online. Luckily, with all the traffic on popular sites like Half.com and Amazon, you won’t have to wait too long for a potential seller.
