If you get started with your own online auction website you're really gonna want to map out what you want to do with it before you just kind of jump in headfirst first off you're gonna want to know your market you need to decide if you want to do a local pickup or if you want to ship items a lot of it's gonna depend on how populous your city is or if you're near a populous city but if you're a small town you might just want to ship exclusively and you know focus on small items .
How you're going to get items to sell ?!
you're
going to want to know what types of items you want to sell again it kind of
helps to know your market what is popular in your area what you think you're
going to be able to move pretty quick and easily you need to know how you're
going to get those items it's good to get things at garage sales and in
different places but you're gonna need a lot of inventory to be able to have an
auction every week and you know make it consistent with a good amount of items
that kind of goes into warehouse space .
I would
recommend starting small with everything you know just kind of kind of start
smaller stuff and you can always grow but you don't want to you don't want to
bite off more than you can chew right away as far as your auction size I
usually say 100 items is a good starting point gives people enough items to
look at you know if people get on your website and there's just not very much
at all to look at they probably won't come back but to start more than 100 is
kind of tough to do so that's certainly a pretty good starting point my first
auction I had 100 items and it took me a couple months before I started getting
into like 150 200 items a week when you are building your website you definitely
want to make it your own it needs to fit your personality it needs to be user
friendly .
So you want to take a lot of those things into consideration you know
if when you're building it you want to think about how you as a bidder would
want it to look so that's that's something to keep in mind too you definitely
want to find the web developer they can get very pricey you want to find
somebody that you can trust that won't overcharge you and nickel and dime you I
have always used first fortune marketing it's a close friend of mine he does an
amazing job he's done everything to my website and I will put his website link
in the description of this video if you guys are at all curious about about
calling Matt Matt Matt knows this stuff he does a really good job with that you're
gonna want an advertising strategy for your auction website how are we gonna
get bidders you if you make an auction and you know you do all this work and spend
all this money and you have no betters it's really kind of for nothing so you
want the game plan to get bidders before your first auction which is kind of
tricky it's a little hard to sell something that hasn't even started yet .
