1) ?Article directories? can be great sources of traffic. Well they can be a great source of free content too. Have a search through the article directories for articles on the topics you are looking to publish and then republish them. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you include the author's resource box so that they receive the credit for writing the article.

2) When starting your blog you should definitely be consider ?writing your own content?. Why? Because it is free and it also provides your blog with a dose of your own personality. You do not have to write every single post yourself because this can take a lot of time. However, there is no reason you cannot write an occasional article or product review for your blog.

3) Since your blog is an addition for your eBay business it makes sense to emphasize ?eBay listings? on your blog. Do not fill it with all your eBay listings or your readers will quickly start to see your blog as one big advert. However, the occasional post about one of your eBay listings that you feel requires additional attention is fine

4) PLR(Private Label Right ) articles are sold to a limited group of customers (let's say 50). These 50 customers then have exclusive rights to use these articles for web content, email content, part of an e-book or whatever else they wish. PLR articles can be a great way to get content for your blog quickly. Although they usually cost a little money, they have an advantage over articles from the directories because of their restricted distribution. Instead of publishing a directory article that has potentially been used by thousands of people, you can publish a comparatively unique PLR article. Plus, you can make changes to the PLR article, giving it a unique spin for your blog. For more details you can also go to www.blog-link-generator.com

5) If you are not happy with other people having the same PLR articles as you and you do not have the time to write your own unique articles, ?outsourced articles? is an option. Simply, find a good writer and then agree a fee per article. They will then write unique, relevant articles which you can post on your blog. The drawback with outsourced articles is that they will cost more than PLR articles.

6) As an eBay e-book seller you should have access to lots of e-books with resell rights and giveaway rights. Why not give some away on your blog? Your readers will really appreciate getting free e-books that they can then go on to resell in their eBay stores.

7) Interactive websites are becoming increasingly popular and ?You Tube? is no exception. On You Tube you can find videos on nearly every topic including selling e-books on eBay. All the videos on You Tube contain code to embed the video, so all you have to do is copy and paste this code into a blog post and voila - you have video on your blog.
