To be successful with QCP you need to change your perceptions a bit.  I can’t stress this enough – it is NO LONGER about just sending traffic to Ebay.  The more drilled-down and targeted your site is, the higher earnings you can expect.  In the past, I used to be concerned with putting up niche sites that only targeted very high ticket items so I would earn more per sale.  I do have a few sites that focus on small-ticket items that sell for $20 and less. And I honestly was thinking of scrapping them.  With this new QCP model, I see that they are now earning much more – it doesn’t make a difference anymore that the items are inexpensive.  The selling price of an item is only now one piece of how Ebay determines your earnings.

As I posted previously, I am absolutely thrilled by the new QCP model on Ebay.  Based on the preliminary sample QCP reports, I should see a 200-300% increase in my earnings when QCP kicks in for me in October. So, how so I have such high increases in earnings while others are complaining of dramatic decreases?  Well, I’ll share with you what has worked for me…

Building tiny, targeted, niche sites.  And I won’t even say “filled with quality content” – because, honestly, only a handful of my niche sites truly have good quality content on them at this point.  I’m in the process of re-vamping several of them and adding that good quality content because I don’t like being the owner of wimpy sites.

Starting out with a bare bones niche site is one way to test the waters and truly see if you can get those all important visitors who will click through to Ebay.  Still, you should have some decent content on your site when you launch it – but don’t spend hours upon hours on it until you know it’s a good niche.  And now, with the new QCP, you need to send very high quality, targeted visitors to Ebay if you want to be successful.  That is why the owners of tiny niche sites will reap the most benefits from Quality Click Pricing on Ebay.  Once you have found a niche that has potential, then go back and beef up the site some more – add more content, publish articles, use social bookmarking sites and create videos.

This can open up a whole new world of niche sites to create.   Doing a total 180 degree change on how you approach making money with the Ebay Partner Network will truly benefit you under the new QCP model.

Stay tuned for future posts about finding good tiny niches…
