Have you ever been on eBay and happened upon an auction that was doing incredible well?
Like a Dutch auction with over a hundred bids? In the past eBay had a "torch" for hot items, and if you made 30 bids you get in a "Hot" category and bidding spirals upward.
Here's my approach for getting over 100 bids selling simple info-products. You can adjust it according to what you sell.
I've done this numerous times...
The first day of the auction is critical. You want the majority of your bids on the first day. Make sure you buy the best exposure you can...
Your goal is to get 30 bids as quickly as possible.
The best time to list when attempting this is early Saturday morning around about 7 a.m. EST. You want your best exposure on the first day.
Also, drive bidders to your auctions early.
Normally I would contact my mailing list and tell them I'm having a clearout of my inventory and offer a special like free shipping for bidding.
Remember; just get rock moving down the hill an early as possible. If you get that auction up over 30 bids by Sunday night... that gives you over 8 days of sizzling hot exposure in the "Hot" category...
