We had a terrible scare with my 4 week old grandson,

Brayden. First, he was mis-diagnosed to have strep

throat and then was given medication that, though

good for babies was not in the right formulation

for NEWBORNS. He stopped breathing, had to have

CPR done on him - all to find out that he could

not swallow the medicine in the form it was given

to him - whew! - needless to say I almost needed

the EMTs myself when I heard about the CPR, etc.

and there are no words to express the relief and

later anger at the doctor who ASSUMED since the

baby's cousins also living in his house DID have

strep throat that Brayden did and then not

informing his Mommy that newborns needed a special

dropper, not the one in the bottle of the prescribed

medicine. All is well now, I am so happy to report.

 

Have uploaded a pic of Grandma and Brayden:

I got quite a bit of interest in my idea to offer

an editing service and checked the prices of those

who do this and was, frankly, shocked- guess I am

far more *cheap* than even I feared, lol- I do not

see how any starting small web page builder or

budding writer could AFFORD these services, judging

by the pricing boundaries I was able to find.

 

My idea is to make a steady income doing something

I love as much as I love doing this ezine- and there

is nothing I love doing more than reading, except,

of course, holding and loving my grand kids. I think

I can fairly and happily under-charge the *norm*

for this service and still HELP those who cannot

afford the bigger professional services and hope

to slowly build a steady, loyal stream of customers

and referrals by doing so. It has never been my

intent to be a six figure earner or an instant

millionaire, all I have ever wanted was to get to

"a dollar over comfortable" and be able to enjoy

life without the worry of reposessions, foreclosures

or things getting shut off for non-payment.

 

I also, once again, have to admit to the world and

my subs ( family #2 ) that I am not "making it" at

this time and the way things are now. Thus, I have

started gathering the paperwork needed for the

bankruptcy lawyer I have retained and feel, though

it saddens me to do so, admitting I can NOT make it

does not make me the failure I was afraid earlier

on I would be. Since my split with the EX and the

death of my Charlie-Dad, the economy, gas prices,

etc. I realize it is time to *throw in the towel*,

so to speak, and get a clean new slate.

 

If anyone has had to do this in the past and has

any tips or advice, please feel free to contact

me at the ezine address or jantd@charter.net

How to sell Products on eBay

 

 

eBay is the world's largest online auction site,

and it is host to many thousands of online retailers

who make either a part or full time living from their

eBay businesses. Getting started with eBay is simple

enough, and eBay has the advantage of having the traffic

already built in. As with any other site, the first step

is to register and open an account. If you are planning

on using eBay seriously, then you will need two accounts

eventually. This is because you never want to buy through

your main selling account. If you have a dispute with the

seller, and have to leave negative feedback, the seller

may well leave retaliatory negative feedback for you.

If you have bought through your selling account, that

is where the negative feedback will end up.

 

When you are starting, it pays to buy a few cheap items

through your selling account, and leave positive feedback

for the people you have bought from. If they reciprocate,

you will at least have some positive feedback when you

come to start selling. From that point on, you should

never again buy through your selling eBay account.

Once you are registered on eBay, and have set up your

PayPal account if you have not done so already, you

can begin listing items immediately. The eBay site

has very comprehensive instructions for every part

of the process.

 

The one piece of hardware you can't really manage

without is a digital camera. Tests have proven

beyond any doubt that listings with a photograph

do far better than ones without. The only possible

exception to this would be if you were selling

information products, where you could take a screen

shot of the info product and use that as a photograph.

 

Assuming you have a digital camera, you will then need

to source stock to sell, and also packing materials.

Packing items well yet still being cheap on shipping

charges is one good way of getting happy customers,

who will hopefully become repeat customers.

Personal Development Affiliate Programs:

  How to Make Money Helping People

 

Making money is one thing, but making money selling

something that actually helps people is another; in

fact it is quite more rewarding. Personal development

affiliate programs can help you do just that.

 

Personal development can best be described as striving

to achieve one’s personal best in life. I’m sure you

want to do better in life; in some aspects, so do most

people. A lot of people don’t have the right tools,

systems, or training to guide them in their quest

for a better lifestyle.

 

This is where you come in. If you truly enjoy helping

people become their best and helping them change their

lives, then a personal development affiliate program

may be what you need to help you help other people

change their mindset while earning a handsome income.

 

Affiliate programs allow you to sell products and receive

a percentage of the profits. So you’re basically spending

your time, money and effort to promote products in exchange

for a commission check. Most of the affiliate programs on

the Internet are geared towards people who have a list

or know how to drive a lot of traffic to a website.

 

If you don’t have an established list to market the products

to or if you don’t know how to market, it will become very

difficult to make a substantial income in affiliate

marketing. However, having  continuity built into the

products themselves helps keeps your commission checks

coming in regularly if you’re able to get the ball rolling.

 

Continuity is when one sale of a product induces other

sales of upgraded products without you doing any extra

effort.

 

When you’re looking for  personal development affiliate

programs, you want to make sure they offer real valuable

products. You want to also see if the affiliate program

offers marketing tips on how to best sell the products.

 

To have a long career selling these types of products, you

may want to try the products themselves and see what effects

they have on you. You can be your best testimonial as you

tell people your story of how the products worked for you.

 

Once you decide upon which personal development affiliate

programs you wish to promote, you may want to start learning

how to set up your marketing funnel in order to make it work

better for you so you can start making a liveable income

for all your efforts spent, while providing products that

enrich people’s lives.
