If you really want to earn more money with your at home business than you need to strongly consider adding a P.I.G. Obviously, I am not referring to the questionably adorable pot bellied pig that many fine people have adopted for a pet. The concept of adding a Passive Income Generator to your business should be a top priority if you want to earn long term income.

What exactly is a Passive Income Generator?

As the names suggests, a P.I.G. is a product, system or service that will pay you and your company long after it has been implemented. In fact, the ideal P.I.G. is one where you do the work once and it pays you over and over and over with little to no maintenance on your part.

An example of a P.I.G. could be a book, an audio CD, a patent, the licence to use your idea, a service that you contract out, and much more. Let’s take a book as an example. You diligently research, compile, write, edit and proofread your book. Depending on who you are this may take you anywhere from 14 days to 14 years. Once the work has been done, a publisher will usually help with the marketing and promotion of the book. Once all that has happened, you the author are left with a passive income generator that will keep selling books while you sit in the sun enjoying a margarita.

Making money with a P.I.G. has become so much more important with the acceptance of internet commerce. Today, there are some amazingly quick, simple and inexpensive ways of creating a P.I.G. As an example, take a pay per click advertising campaign. This type of a business revolves around driving traffic from the search engines at a small cost to a sales site. Once at the site, automated software can take the browser by the hand and market and market the product until a sale is made. If the product is virtual like software or an e-book, no human ever needs to get involved in the transaction (other than the buyer).

Another example of an online P.I.G is an affiliate program. Pretend you sell a digital product like an ebook or audio book. Now imagine you get to work testing all kinds of sales literature until you create a very effective selling system on your website. All you need to do now to really expand your business is drive plenty of traffic through this system. By creating an affiliate program and attracting hungry affiliates, you stand to make a greater income while working less and less. The affiliates bring in the customers, your automatic sales website does all the work and once again you get to take off to a warm sunny destination.

So no matter what business you are in, think about how you can earn more money by adding a P.I.G. What parts of your business can you automate for complete hands free operation? Could you create an entire business where you create nothing but P.I.Gs? How much more money, free time and luxury would that add to your business and lifestyle?

And let’s not forget the biggest advantage of selling on eBay. Most people have money in hand, just waiting to find the exact moment.

So if eBays so great, why do you want traffic on your auctions?

There are also several reasons why you would be better to sell to your own website, and even eBay. First and most important, think of all fees and charges list the last value, you could save if everything you sold on eBay you can sell on your own website . Personally, I will save me thousands of dollars a year only if the transfer payment.

Second, you will protect yourself against eBay’s policy changes. Imagine that you are selling thousands of books every week, and then suddenly changed the policy of eBay to prevent any record book.

Overnight your business would simply disappear and your income will disappear. With a list of fees – the sudden hike could destroy the tax business and your profits overnight.

In any business, especially on the Internet that you need to protect themselves from actions that are beyond your control. Thus, traffic from bidding on your own website that you gradually begin to create alternative sources of income. The following methods can be used on eBay. Some are on the verge of eBay policy and you should check any violations before using them. Mention that a large proportion of the use of suppliers on a daily basis.

1) Image Hosting

All auction sales patterns develop best to maintain a list of professionals. And, of course, the sellers always use images, graphics, or show the exact status of their offer.

eBay itself allows you to upload images to their servers, other commercial & free services are available. But in fact you want to save any images on your own server. Not only search engines from following links from your entries on your site (helping in improved visibility in search engines), but many browsers will show the address where the downloaded images from bar status – for example, “Loading images from visitmyshop.com http://www. or “Waiting For http://www.visitmyshop.com. This is a great way for your visitors to get familiar with your site.

2) feedback

Many sellers include the detailed feedback of their website that they use. Seriously it is against eBay policy but many Powersellers use comments like “Thank you for your custom http://www.Visitmyshop.com” as standard. This is probably one of the widely violated policies on eBay. I have never known anyone to get a warning for this policy, but use it carefully, as you can the first time.

3) e-mail

eBay allows your list to include an e-mail-link, in addition to “Ask seller a question”, they have. Use the opportunity to show the mailbox associated with your domain, such sales@visitmyshop.com. Conditions only, you must show your e-mail also shown to be registered with your e-mail account with eBay. Prior to that list, make sure they match.

4) About Me page

eBay actually allows you to create a link to your website from your About Me page, while the actual pages, not direct sales. Therefore, as information about the company or a page you’re referring to, but one where visitors can easily navigate to your store goods for sale. Apart from driving traffic to your About Me page, including a link to each database, for example, “Click here to learn about me.” The average basic shop on eBay will get over 1,500 views in a month. If you can drive only a small part of them on my page and then on your site you can you will see no difference in the sale of eBay.

5) User ID

Although eBay does not allow the user ID for your website, you should be as nearly identical to the name of your website as possible. You can not attach. COM, COM-COM, or * to the end user of your ID – this is close to eBay’s policy. However, nothing will stop your ID while VisitMyShop. The idea for tourists to feel comfortable with your eBay transaction on eBay.

I hope these tips will help you in traffic to your auction site and your eBays reduces the grip on your business. Remember that ignorance is no reason to accept eBay if you violate their policies. While you first get a warning about the breach of the rules of the crimes that can lead to account suspension. Having said that, eBay mostly rely on officials from other users to protect their policies so long as any messages you must be clear
