Starting an auction website based on a niche is still a profitable online business, however, great number of auction websites can be found. In this short article I would like to give you some suggestions on how to build a profitable auction site just like eBay.
The first thing you should concentrate on is what type of niche you have to choose for your site. In my point of view starting a website with hundreds of categories as well as niches is not the best idea since you cannot compete with the large sites such as eBay. You should find a specific market which is not over used and the competition is not so hard. I know it is not easy, but by doing a detailed niche research, I?m sure you can find untapped niches.
There are many advantages if you build your auction website around a specific niche. Firstly, sooner or later your website will have content which is extremely targeted. This is not only good for the website visitors as they can find really useful content ? so they will return -, but from the SEO point as search engines will look at your website as an authority one in that specific niche.
You can easily do niche research by using some type of niche research software.
Another important thing is to use a professional auction script. It is a fact that hundreds of auction scripts can be found all over the internet. But be careful with them. Some of them are out of date and you should choose one that can be modified easily in the future. Why? Internet is a thing that always changes and you have to follow these trends, on top of that you will have to be able to change your website to be compatible with the latest search engine updates. Most of the auction scripts after installation cannot be changed so sooner or later your website will be out of date.
Personally, I suggest to use WordPress auction themes or plugins. Since the system is WP you can add plugins to expand the style, SEO, functions etc., so you can always keep your auction website up to date.
To sum up, two things are needed for a profitable auction website, a niche that is not over promoted yet and the competition is low, and a script that serves your website in long term.
