What Does Your eBay Day Consist Of?

August 18, 2008 By

This article was written by Guest Blogger Jennifer Cangelosi from Boutique Bargains.

EBay is a fantastic way to make extra income. We’ve determined that from the beginning. For someone just starting out, eBay is way easier than opening up shop through your own website and praying the traffic will find you in the virtual world.

I recently received a question from a fellow eBay mom….

Moving inI have been wondering this for a while. I need to turn eBay into a full time job and I was wondering how do you get a lot of stuff listed in one day?

If you do eBay full time, what does your day consist of? How do you list? I have experimented with a lot of ways to get things listed and I just can’t get more then 20 listed a day and that is work all day long on it.

How can I get in my head that this is my job and I need to work it like a real job?

If you are buried under inventory, overwhelmed with photo editing, and can’t wrap your brain around what to list next – know that you are not alone.

Take baby steps! [Read more...]

Weight Loss Update: Eleven Pounds Down

August 16, 2008 By

I had my second Weight Watchers weigh in this past Thursday evening and I lost another 4.4 pounds for a total of 11.4 pounds lost in two weeks. Woohoo!

Don’t hate me. These results are not typical as the weeks go by. I know from long dieting experience that I lose a lot of weight in the first month or so and then things settle down to a more common weight loss pattern. That’s when I usually start to lose steam and fall off the wagon.

I am hoping that going to Weight Watcher’s meetings and being accountable to the weekly weigh ins will help me to get past the 30 day block I generally run into.

With the Flex Plan you can eat what you want so long as you count the point value according to the WW point calculator and you stop when you reach your daily points value. Then you get 35 weekly points to spend how you like. You can pepper it in through the week or use it for a big splurge.

I used my flex points to have a Super Bird turkey sandwich at Denny’s (12 points) along with a chicken finger (4 points), two cheese sticks (4 points) and four onion rings (4 points) plus some yummy honey mustard dip (3 points). All that fatty food and I still had a few flex points left over for some garlic mashed potatoes on another day.

It’s hard to believe I could ‘cheat’ with such a high calorie meal and still lose four pounds this week. That is what I like best about WW. So long as you plan ahead and not go hog wild, you can enjoy some of your old favorites.

Why You Should Create A Special Report…Now!

August 11, 2008 By

By Guest Blogger Elizabeth Ashe of Internet Marketing Strategy Diva and Make Money Online Diva.

Creating a special report, or a more in-depth written summary about any particular topic, is a great way to increase your income and help to establish yourself as an expert in your field.

Special reports are written information that is longer than an article but not quite as long as an e-book. Special reports are typically about ten pages long and contain in-depth information on one specific topic related to your business and of interest to your target market.

Annette + Powerbook + Teh InterwebzIf the topic is something that is important to your target market, then a special report can be a great way to add an additional stream of income to your current business. By making recommendations in your report and adding affiliate links, your readers will likely click on the links, giving you an affiliate commission.

After all, your existing clients will already value what you have to say on a wide-range of topics. For those people who are not as familiar with you and your business, a special report can be a fairly inexpensive way to introduce yourself, invite them to your website, or encourage them to register for your mailing list.

Update: Kelly Loses Big Time!

August 8, 2008 By

This is my first promised update, following up on this post about me joining Weight Watchers.

My first week went really well.  After the first two days where I was feeling sad and a bit resentful about what I had to give up – I got into the flow of things and started to feel satisfied with my menu.

For those who may not know anything about Weight Watchers, I am doing the Flex Plan.  They have assigned point values to every food based on fiber and fat content and total calories.  You get a certain number of daily points based on your gender, age, activity level and weight.

You choose your daily meals based on what you can fit into your daily points.  Then, you get 35 weekly ‘Flex’ points that you can spend on extras however you wish.  Maybe you choose to use full fat mayo on your sub for an extra four points here and there.  Or, you can go to McDonalds for a Filet o Fish, four piece nuggets and hot fudge sundae like I did. (For 21 points)

It’s not just about points.  You’re supposed to get in a certain number of fruits/veggies, a certain amount of milk and good healthy oils, etc.  The good news is that most veggies are free, meaning they cost you no points at all.  (Like a big bowl of green beans which I love!)

Ok – enough of that.  I’m ready to tell you my results!

I lost seven pounds!  Wowsers!  I was blown away.  I knew I’d stuck to the plan so I expected to see a loss – but seven pounds totally blessed my socks off.  I had this big grin on my face as I showed my little book to my sis.  And she had a big grin too cuz she lost five pounds herself :)

Now this week I’m supposed to ‘get moving’ which is a polite way of saying ‘off your butt McCausey and get some darned exercise!’.  We have permission to start slow and aim for ten minutes chunks of low intensity exercise at a time.

I figure one walk to the PO each day is good for ten minute chunk.  Now I have to think of someway to get in another one.  It’s obviously time to pull the rebounder back out of the storage closet and start up Tishia’s Boogie Breaks again ;)

I’ll keep posting on my progress.  I really appreciate all of the support and encouragement from my Twitter peeps and those who have commented here on the blog, by the way.  Thank you very much.

$20,000 Opportunity for Your Family

August 4, 2008 By

ABC’s hit reality show, “Wife Swap” is currently casting for its fifth season and we are looking for great families, specifically families that consider themselves strict or lenient, but we are not exclusive in casting families for just that to participate in the show.

Families must consist of two parents and at least one child between 6 and 18. Families who appear on the show receive $20,000 after completion of taping.

If you are unfamiliar with the show, the premise of Wife Swap is to take two different families and have the moms switch places to experience how another family lives. This is meant to be a positive experience for people to not only learn but teach other ways of life. If you would like more information about the show, go to ABC.com and you will find “Wife Swap” under the primetime listings.

“If you are interested, please contact my work ASAP 646 747 7947 or please email your phone number to rebecca.chaikin@castingrdf.com and I will call you directly. I would love to talk to you.”

Be sure to tell her that Kelly McCausey sent you.
