How To Blow Your Competition Out Of The Water On eBay by Martyn Boaden Want to "blow your competition out of the water" on eBay? Then add video to your eBay listing and About Me Page! It smashes through the problem that the internet is anonymous. A video clip adds a huge amount of power, credibility, interest and personality to the sales message in your eBay listing. It brings it to life. Visitors see and hear your personal message and get what you are about without having to read pages of print. A video clip gets your message over quicker and better than the written word. A simple, straight from the heart message delivered in a warm, sincere, confident way will charm visitors and significantly increase interest in your eBay listing. It re-assures visitors and gives them confidence to do business with you. If they have visited several listings offering similar products for sale on eBay, they are more likely to respond to the one with the video clip of someone speaking in a positive, warm, friendly way, rather than pages of cold text. You still need written text in your eBay listing because your video should be short, sharp and to the point. Also, some people may have a very slow internet connection and won't want to wait for your video to load. They can read the text of your eBay listing just as they would if you didn't have video. If you haven't got a digital camcorder, someone you know probably does that you can borrow. If you've got a Windows Operating System, you've probably got Windows Movie Maker already installed on your computer. You can use this to capture the video from the camcorder, edit it and add effects if you want to - but keep it simple. Don't interfere with your sales message. eBay states that you must have your video hosted on one of the many sites that support safe content. One of these is YouTube. I recommend that you use YouTube as it is the most popular online video site and so more people will see your video. YouTube allows you to add a description about your video next to it. So paste the URL of your eBay listing here to get more exposure and traffic to your listing from outside eBay! Google also loves YouTube so with the right keywords in your description your video could get listed in the first pages of Google as well! Once you've uploaded your video, YouTube give you the code which you just copy and paste into the HTML code of your listing.
