Let\u2019s look at each option in more detail below.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;sub-heading&#8221;]<strong>How To Get The Most From Manual Uploading<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5809&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1566368783991{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manual uploading involves you or your sales team logging in to Machines4U and uploading the content straight into our system. It\u2019s a simple system that works if you have the time and don\u2019t have too many machines to list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/mag\/post-ad-machines4u\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a step-by-step guide on how to post an ad, click here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uploading manually is one thing, but getting the most from this system is another. So, to get the most from a manual upload, you\u2019ll want to dedicate this task to the person who has the best knowledge about the machine. The best results come from sales people managing listings themselves, because they have the expertise to put in all of the details, photos and videos that will appeal to buyers.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;sub-heading&#8221;]<strong>Who Can Benefit From Using A CSV System<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5810&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1566368876823{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our CSV system is for those who want to upload multiple listings at once from one easy spreadsheet. It\u2019s ideal if you already have a spreadsheet of all of your machinery, as you can simply import it in one bulk upload.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, there is still a manual aspect to CSV uploading because you will need to manually import the spreadsheet into MyMachines4U. It\u2019s a great option if you want to list or update your machinery all at once. For example, if you\u2019ve slashed your machinery prices for an end of financial year sale, you can update your listing prices using this method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/mag\/post-multiple-ads-machines4u\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For more information about uploading multiple listings via CSV, click here<\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;sub-heading&#8221;]<strong>What Is A Third-Party Aggregator?\u00a0<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A third-party aggregator is a system you can use to upload your content automatically. This works by using a third-party site to load your content, which is then connected to Machines4U via XML or CSV, and pushes your content to the Machines4U platform without any manual work required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third-party aggregators allow users to upload and remove hundreds of listings with little effort! So, if you currently use a third-party listing or content aggregator, get in touch with your account manager to see if we support it.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;sub-heading&#8221;]<strong>The Best System For Near Real-Time Stock Syncing On Machines4U\u00a0<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re serious about your online advertising and have hundreds of listings to get up and take off Machines4U regularly, such as an auction house, an API connection is the best content management tool for you. This option gets a little technical, so it\u2019s great for companies who have the resources or development team available to write some html code on their end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An API system is used to connect the Machines4U platform to your data. So that means when an ad is placed or removed on your side, it would automatically appear or disappear from Machines4U. The API is the best option for near real-time stock syncing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re unsure which of these methods suits your business, reach out and have a chat with your account manager, who will be able to guide you in the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While getting your content online is vital, the next step is even more important: and that\u2019s checking your leads. So make sure you log in a few times a month to see which listings are working, which you should update and which could be improved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the next module, you\u2019ll learn a bit more about how Machines4U started and evolved to where it is today!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-6&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;text-left&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/mymachines4u\/academy\/extras\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Previous Module<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/mymachines4u\/academy\/who-we-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Next Module<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Machines4U Academy 13-Part Series To Help You Get The Most Out Of Machines4U &nbsp; [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;m4u-acad-title&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text el_id=&#8221;round-orange-label&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1566368514975{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Module 12[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;sub-heading&#8221;]How To Manage Hundreds Of Listings With Ease[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you\u2019re a serious machinery seller who has large amounts of capital equipment to list on Machines4U, then this module is for you. \u00a0 In &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/academy-bulk-content-management\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Academy &#8211; Bulk Content Management&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5807","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5807"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6573,"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5807\/revisions\/6573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/lpm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
