Lesson Five: Listings

This is retail, not creativity. Your rule: 👉 Find listings already selling 👉 Model them 👉 Improve slightly Here’s how: Search your product on eBay Turn on Sold Listings Click the top sellers Study: Title format Photos Price Description layout If it sold for them, it can sell for you.

our title should include: ✅ Brand / Product Type ✅ Key Feature or Size ✅ Model / Color (if applicable) Example structure: Moissanite Men’s Watch 925 Silver Luxury Automatic Waterproof Rules: Use ALL available title characters Put important keywords first Don’t stuff nonsense words Copy competitors’ phrasing Your title = SEO + sales.

Photos matter more than anything. Use: Supplier photos (Alibaba / Wholesale sites) Clean white backgrounds Multiple angles Lifestyle image if available Minimum: 5 photos per listing If photos look cheap, buyers assume product is cheap. Use AI to enhance photos Plug in the original photo, then have AI make it more HD/4K and high quality.

You don’t always need to be cheapest. Instead: Price slightly under average sold price OR match top sellers Offer free shipping if possible Early on: 👉 Price to MOVE product, not maximize margin. Cash flow first.

If you’re selling products online, promoted listings are non-negotiable. Organic reach alone is no longer enough. Every marketplace is crowded — thousands of sellers are competing for the same buyers. Promoted listings give your products priority placement so they actually get seen. Think of it like this: 👉 No promotion = invisible product 👉 Promotion = traffic on demand Your goal isn’t to hope someone finds your listing. Your goal is to buy visibility and convert it into sales. What Promoted Listings Actually Do Promoted listings: ✅ Push your product higher in search results ✅ Show your listing in premium placements ✅ Increase impressions immediately ✅ Drive faster data + faster sales ✅ Help new listings gain traction ✅ Improve algorithm trust over time This is especially important when: Launching a new product Testing demand Trying to scale winning items Competing in saturated niches Without promotion, even great products can sit dead. How Much Should You Promote? Start simple: Set promoted rate between 5%–10% If competition is heavy, go 10%–15% Never start at 0% You can always lower later — but you need initial momentum. Your mindset: 👉 First priority: visibility 👉 Second priority: optimization 👉 Third priority: profit scaling Early on, you’re buying data and traction.

Your job is NOT to build perfect listings. Your job: 👉 List 👉 Improve later Speed wins. Your early advantage comes from volume.

This is how you grow: Minimum: 2–3 listings per day Ideal: 5+ listings per day Think like a store owner. More shelves = more sales.
