An ECA may come into TripleClicks with hundreds of products already to be sole. But he should dole them out for approval slowly, but steadily. This will keep him on the "New at TC List" and his products in front of us at all times. When someone submits a large group of items that takes up many pages, they may not all be looked at by everyone, especially if they are all nearly the same. Recent examples are photos, coins, stamps, bed spreads, eBooks, etc. All of these have merit, but he may lose some potential sales because the potential buyers are just overwhelmed at the number of choices.
A new ECA should not delay offering items for sale because he doesn't know how to list the cost of shipping, or putting photos in his ad. People on the Forum are very willing to help.
Photos should not be blurry, cluttered, or too small. Descriptions should be complete but easy to read. Do not over-price items because you think that everyone is willing to pay the price.
Do not put so many items on that you can't service the sales. And don't get discouraged if no one buys for a few months.
Also don't forget that you need to advertise your own store. Others may advertise your items, but it's mostly up to the ECA. Make good TConnections, and a2a friends. You can not advertise in the Friends part of the Stream page, but in the ECA part. Also, friend requests often cause new friends to check your profile and ECA store. And don't forget to write some ECA NEWS FEEDS.
Do study what is already offered at TC. Don't worry if you have the same item, you won't live in the same area. Give the buyers a choice in shipping and prices.
Do keep your eye out for good deals that you can pass on to your customers. Try to partner with someone who will sell items to you at a discount when you have an order for it. That keeps your inventory down.
Try to enroll affiliates in your area so that you will have a group that will buy from you, and invite others to become ECAs so there will be more TC items in your area.
Remember to offer quality and service to your customers so they will come back to you.
