Member contributed tips:
-
If you've sold items on other websites, contact your old customers and let them know you're now on Webstore! You can use your Personal Webstore URL (shown above) to bring them in. Old happy customers can often become great New happy sales.
-
If you're currently selling on other websites, use your Personal Webstore URL in your listings on other sites (if allowed) to let potential buyers know of items that you have for sale at Webstore.
-
Cross-Promote your items on other marketplaces and/or "FOR SALE" forums (always check first with the marketplace rules/policies to see if promoting is allowed). Many sellers are bringing buyers to their items on Webstore by posting just a few items a day on other venues with links back to Webstore where buyers may more easily pay and complete the transaction (and possibly purchase even more items from you while at Webstore).
-
Post links to your items on mailing lists and other mail-distributed forums.
-
Include your Personal Webstore URL in your email signature. You never know who's going to be your next customer.
-
Include your URL in your signature of any forums/groups that you frequently post in. Often times these forums/groups are read by many like-minded individuals who all share your interests and may be interested in your items for sale.
-
Blogs are another way to let people know about your items for sale. Whether you maintain your own blog, or are just leaving comments on someone elses blog, be sure to include your Personal Webstore URL whenever appropriate.
-
If you run your own website, include your Personal Webstore URL on any websites you operate (wheverer appropriate).
