By Katina Brady


Online trading is the in thing nowadays. Given the high internet access and the low cost of putting up products for sale, online trading outdoes the traditional brick and motor stores. Since it may be quite expensive to set up your e-commerce website, selling stuff through online trading stuff sites is always a great idea. It is cheap to set up your store and start selling stuff from the word go. Since there a hundred or even thousands of products that are listed on these sites, you need to have a strategy in order to sell first.

The seller needs to determine what site to sell his or her stuff. There are tens of site one can choose from. Choosing popular sites is more likely to give better outcomes. One may consider using free sites or paying a small fee on paid sites. Furthermore, one should find out if the site ranks well on the search engine results, the number of sellers on the site and if it is easy to navigate through its pages before selecting one platform. One could also feature products across several platforms.

Start by using the key words that buyers could use when looking for such products. This makes it easier to get traffic to your online store through natural search results from search engines. Where the site provides keyword marketing tools, ensure you optimize your page for better visibility.

It is desirable to include some free service or offering in the products. Such could be free delivery, quantity or trade discount or shipping for overseas clients Buyers find such offers attractive as they seem to give them more value and are a better bargain. However, the added costs from such offerings should be included on the final price not to dent the profits. The seller should however refrain from setting the price too high. The price should be competitive given the price range of similar products on same site.

Take quality snaps of your product. Customers will decide to buy based on what they see on your store. Thus, ensure that the images of the product are clear paying attention to its details. If one angle of the product does not show all the details, take snaps from different angles. A white background is desirable or you could just remove the background entirely.

Write a caption that sells. Show how the product is great for the clients. However, keep it short and concise. You may use bullet points to highlight the important features of your products. You should also have a good title written in standard font. Furthermore, the features of a product one is selling should give benefits to your clients. They should show the clients stands to gain on buying your products.

Where the site allows, try making a video of the products you are selling. The video, should be short, funny and informative. Videos increase engagement with the site visitors and are likely to convert a site visitors to customers easier than pictures and captions.

There are several payment platforms on these sites ranging from escrow to mobile and online payment options. The seller should pick options that are popular with his target population. Since most clients would review their experience with a seller and the product, quality service is paramount. Disputes should also be resolved promptly with necessarily involving a third party.
