Selling on eBay seems simple enough. You post a few items for sale, wait for the bids to start rolling in, collect the cash, and mail out the items you sold. Rinse, and repeat. Sounds easy enough, doesn't it? Unfortunately, things get a bit more complicated when you start eBaying in real life. Writing good listings that make buyers want to pull the trigger on your items is not easy. Pricing your stuff to sell can seem a bit like rolling the dice. And then there's the waiting. Waiting for bidders to come along. If you want to be successful, you need a plan going into every listing.

This audiobook isn't going to tell you what to sell on eBay. The things that sell best change from day to day. You've probably heard the saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." In this case I'm going to teach you how to find the water or, more appropriately, how to consistently pick items that are going to sell well online. This way you are not dependent upon a list of items someone else says sold well for them.

Authors are divided on the need for social media, its uses, and its outcomes. Some writers will tell you they couldn't have gotten where they are without it; others will say, "Why bother?" or, "Hey, I tried it, and it didn't make any diff. My sales stayed the same."

My goal is to give you the information you need to implement social media in your eBay business should you choose to do so. My primary focus is going to be on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest because they are the three powerhouses behind social media today. Facebook and Twitter get more of the space because they are the social media sites everybody goes to. Pinterest gets a bigger mention because it is the one sellers say actually works best.

Crowdfunding is one of the newer financing options available. At its most basic level, crowdfunding is asking a group of like-minded persons to back you. In essence, you tell them "I have this cool idea for a new way to sell manga on eBay, but I need a little cash to get it started". In return for their support (money), you reward backers with different incentives.

People love to buy from an expert. They want to know the person on the other end of the transaction knows what he's doing and can answer whatever questions they may have. They want to know they can trust you. In essence, they want to know you're a subject matter expert in your product line.

Do you want to know the secret to selling more books? It's a no brainer. Make them available through more channels. Too many authors look at Kindle as the final destination for their books. They're so caught up in optimizing their book for Amazon, running KDP Free Days, Countdown Deals, and cycling prices that they forget - millions of people have never bought a Kindle book, let alone any kind of eBook.

Indie Author's Toolbox was written for new and experienced authors alike. It's a guide to optimizing your book for Kindle, but - it doesn't stop there. Too many authors look at Kindle as the final destination for their books. It's true - Amazon is the big kid on the block. The best estimates are they have 65% of the eBook market in the United States. But if I understand math, that still leaves 35% of American readers who enjoy their eBooks served up in a different flavor. Can you afford to pass those readers by?
