Added over 200 more books to my eBay store.

Books sell second only to the movies and were

a smart addition. Have some brand new, nearly new

and some older good condition first editions

along with the other hundreds of items:

Well, I am now a Power Seller on eBay.

 

http://tinyurl.com/Jan-eBay

 

This does not mean I make money, just am CONSISTENT

in my sales averages and keeping good feedback grade.

 

Between the listing fees, the selling fees and then the

paypal fees to GET the money, I do not as yet do more

than clear some stuff out and make a little more room

in my home office where I store the books and movies

that are the biggest sellers for me. I have a storage

room full of the memorabilia and Barbies, etc. as well.

 

My poor home office is like a maze, lol. Books on

shelves and a desk share space with movies on both a

movie rack and in 7 large boxes ( that hold 60 vids

each ). As some of the more commonly sold movies come

off of their 30 day listing I have either added them

to one of the ten pack sets and relisted them that way

or put them in boxes to sell at my pending yard sale

I am planning to have on May 29 and 30. I can get more

for the movies that way as people will not have to

consider shipping charges when making an investment

but as much work as that has been, RE-listing those

that do not sell back on eBay will be even more so!

Advertising Your Blog In Your Email Signature

 

 

If you have a blog that you are particularly proud of,

and that you want to share with other people, there

are a lot of free ways that you can get your blog

noticed.

 

One of those ways is something that you do everyday,

and that you may not even consider as a way to share

your blog. Put the link to your blog in your email

signature.

 

Chances are that you send out emails more times that

you can count during the day, Each time you send out

an email, you can advertise your blog by putting the

address of your blog in your email's signature.

 

It's always a good idea to write something catchy,

for example, "See what I am up to now", or "Read the

latest chapter of my life here", etc., depending on

what type of blog you have.

 

The thing to remember about putting an adveritsement

in your signature for your blog is to make it short

but eyecatching.

 

You want people to be interested enough to want to

click on it yet you don't want to scare them off.

 

Just like it is with any adveritsement, you want to

give them just enough to be interested and take a

closer look at what it is that you are advertising.

 

Think about what it is that your blog is about. What

is really going to interest people about it and make

them want to visit? That is what you should include

in your signature, and that is what is going to get

people to go to your blog.
