We are officially one week into the new month, and hopefully you have started adding to your eBay sales that ‘reverted’ to zero on May 1st! I’ve been thinking a whole lot recently regarding selling on eBay, my warehouse crammed full of stuff and the hamster wheel that goes round and round and round…It’s like chasing a money carrot. You find it, you sell it, it’s gone… and then you start the whole process again and again and again. → Read More
Well, the burning question of the day seems to be: “Where is the Pieces Scrabble Kit?” Unfortunately, I think a BETTER question at the moment is: “Where’s Deb?” The short answer is … I was going along just fine, and then … I fell in a hole! Since I’ve ALWAYS been honest and upfront about my life and me in general, I’m going to ‘come clean’ AGAIN…. → Read More
Have you ever started a project that was going to be fast, simple and cheap… Only for it to grow its own legs, suddenly get up and start running (after you!)??? → Read More
Today I’m going to teach you how to get sucked into the bowels of “pack-rat-itis”, or more correctly “How to become a true hoarder”! You all KNOW that I usually practice what I preach, but alas, in this story I did NOT and sadly, it doesn’t have a happy ending. It is my HOPE that after reading this you will not make the same mistake Christmas morning when you gleefully rip into all the wonderful goodies that Santa left for you… → Read More
What’s got me all charged up? Career Day! If you are not privy to what Career Day is all about, it is a day when Mommies & Daddies go into the school and make a short 15 minute presentation about what they do to earn an income. → Read More
I spend a LOT of time trolling the eBay “Help” pages that list, in THEIR language the EXACT policies and guidelines for those sticky little details that seem to get everyone worked up and crying foul. As long as you follow eBay’s polices WORD FOR WORD, it is very, very easy to come out ahead of your competition AND you can take eBay’s “restrictions” & actually USE THEM to your advantage! → Read More
A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to my eBay class about photos and the importance of having PROFESSIONAL & CLEAR, DETAILED photos. In a typical eBay (or other online platform) listing, it is your photos that SELL your item. → Read More
I asked for your help to not only support two great causes (YOU & Hope Village) by purchasing Jim Cockrum’s new book, but also to help ME. I made it my goal to get on Jim’s “Big Dog” List. Stuart WAS on the list, but I however was NOT. This made me a bit peeved and I decided to go out on a limb and try to raise MY profile in Jim Cockrum’s eyes… did it work? → Read More
I’m enrolled in Tiff Dow’s 30 Day Branding Challenge and part of the challenge is to figure out how my audience, YOU perceive me. I would be grateful if you could respond to this post … in the comments below for all to see! This exercise will help me understand what you like, what you don’t like, what I should change… and what I should keep the same. → Read More
Jim Cockrum, an Internet Marketing GURU and a marketing genius all-round, has published a real, honest-to-goodness book. Not the electronic kind, but one with a publisher (Wiley) and pages and a dust jacket and all the stuff that constitutes a proper book! The book officially hit the shelves at major book retailers as well as launching on Amazon in the print and Kindle versions TODAY – September 27. → Read More
What do these terms mean & WHY should you care? With the growing “Green” movement, the current state of the economy and for the overall good of our planet, people are moving more and more towards using natural items and what many people consider “trash” as crafting components; “repurposed rubbage” is becoming the new vogue way to create. → Read More
I have a seven-year old daughter. She likes little things, stuff, knickknacks, found items… she likes to sort, she likes to use things for purposes other than what they were originally designed for.. she is a pack rat AND a walking disaster! I am looking to clean out the playroom… and I would LOVE to SELL some of this stuff! As I am picking up and “sorting” the loose items that are STREWN everywhere I realize that there is NOT ONE THING I have managed to find in my recovery efforts that I could sell on eBay… or could I → Read More
