Press Release Body: Can you boost profits significantly by adding audio to your
E-Bay auctions? According to a recent article on a net business site the answer is a
definite yes. In fact, one e-book author suggested that adding audio to your
auctions could potentially increase bids by as much as 22% over auctions without
audio.

A recent trend showing up on a lot of websites is the addition of an audio clip. The
clip is a personal message by the author or the website owner encouraging you to
take advantage of what they offer.

The psychology behind this technique is really Marketing 101. It\'s called
personalization. An audio clip added to your Ebay auction allows you to personally
tell the potential bidder about the product. Using your own voice allows you to make
contact with the bidder on a personal level that written words cannot. Because,
that\'s what your E-Bay auction really is...It\'s just a long written classified ad
asking the bidder to make an offer to purchase your item.

Prior to the advent of the telephone the only reliable way to communicate long
distance was by writing letters. It was not unusual back then for lovers to write
each other daily or weekly. The decline of letter writing is a well documented event
that coincides with the advent of the telephone. The power of the human voice to
convey a message triumphs that of the written word.

With audio you can describe the item, tell the bidder why you are selling it or even
communicate with them about your refund policy or provide your contact information.
The possibilities are almost unlimited as a way to establish a rapport with the
bidder.

There are some technical elements to adding audio to your E-Bay auctions. The
simplest way is to upload a .wav or Mp3 file to a website and provide a link to the
file. When the bidder clicks on the link his or her computer will automatically
recognize the file and play it with the audio player on the bidders computer.

There are some drawbacks to this method. If the bidder\'s computer doesn\'t recognize
the file it won\'t play. The overall effect is not as professional as it could be and
it distracts the bidder. If you are a reasonably tech savvy type you can easily deal
with the drawbacks of this approach.

For the rest of us, there are a number of software solutions and websites that will
simplify the task of adding audio to our E-Bay auctions. These different programs
and websites range from charging a onetime fee to monthly fees for the use of the
program. The good news is that many of them will let try them for as little as $1
for a trial basis or let you download a demo version to see how well it will work
for you.
