Could Kunaki be the Solution to the eBay Digital Ban?

Well, the blogs and forums are buzzing with the unexpected news that after March 31, eBay will no longer allow the sale of digital products. And let me tell you, from what I've been reading, most folks are madder than a wet hen! I won't personally go into the injustice that this move is doing to hundreds of small businesses, you can read about it yourself be checking out the comments here.

While reading over eBay's new policies again and trying to think of some alternative that those who are affected by it can implement, I remembered a service that I had heard about several months ago but never really paid it much attention because it didn't fit in with JanRon's business model at that time.

One of the 'loopholes' if I may call it that, to eBay's new policy is that if the digital product you sell can be shipped to the customer in the form of a CD or DVD, you can continue business as usual. The problem that most digital product sellers face with this is, how to get their product on a CD or DVD, have it packaged, set up a method of taking orders and then shipping the product to the customer.

Enter... Kunaki. All of those problems that I just listed above, Kunaki will
handle them all for you - and get this, at a cost of ONLY $1.75 per unit!

Since it's been several years ago that I last sold anything on eBay and I've not used Kunaki myself, I'm not quite sure how or if you can integrate the two together. But at a price of only $1.75 per item you can order copies to have on hand and ship them yourself.

Of course, you'll probably need to raise the price of your products to cover the cost of shipping, but think about this, a physical product has a higher perceived value than a product that's downloaded immediately, so your customers will expect the price to be a little higher and most won't mind paying it.

The only negative that I've heard anyone say about Kunaki is that you have to place each order manually and that you only get paid once a month as opposed to Clickbank's twice per month payment schedule. But, as is usually the case in online business, where there's a need for something better, there's a clever programmer waiting in the wings to create a piece of software to fill that need.

Such is the case with the CD + DVD Automator. What this simple little php script does, is automate your entire payment and order process with Kunaki
and sends your customer's payment to YOUR Paypal account - immediately. A sweet deal if you do decide to use Kunaki's service. Click here to see a video that shows the script in action.

Ok, hopefully Kunaki and the CD + DVD Automator will be a solution for saving your digital products business from eBay's constantly blowing winds - but - what if you don't already have your own digital products?

No problem. Now you can start your own audiobook publishing business and all the product creation, including websites and graphics, is done for you. And here's the best part - in the 6 months that JanRon Publishing has been using these products, all of them have been in non-marketing niches. That is, unless you want to include Basic Blogging - How To Get Started as a "marketing" product.

And did I mention that you can get a FREE audio business package right now?
