Affiliate Marketing – Turn Your Webpage Into an eBay Listing

Did you know that the average marketer can have their own eBay website located right on their very own webpage? It’s a Javascript code that eBay provides that allows you to choose products that you want to promote.

The best part is that you get paid commissions by eBay for every person that signs up as a new eBay customer and / or wins an auction. The commissions on auction listings are for the listings fees only so the more expensive the item that you select to target, the more commissions you stand to make.

I did this over the past holiday season and did quite well promoting the Nintendo Wii system that everybody was after. It was quite amazing logging into my account everyday and watching the commissions (not to mention the Adsense revenue) rolling in. I found myself giggling every time I checked my stats.

Here’s how to set this up on your webpage:

1. Find some products that are selling well on eBay. Check out the eBay Pulse section, eBay Popular Products as well as completed listings.

2. Sign-up as a Commission Junction as they are the official program for eBay. You need to have your website approved by eBay to become an official for them.

3. Go to http://affiliates.ebay.com/tools/editor-kit/ to setup your eBay listings after you’ve received approval by eBay.

4. Follow the instructions on this page. eBay provides a User Guide to help walk you through. You’ll need to make sure you enter your Commission Junction
