Today has been a break from listing items on eBay. It has been spent clearing out items that have not and will not sell and getting them ready for the charity shop. Then this afternoon I have been writing articles and doing some lenses on squidoo.You can see some of my recent lenses over at :

This brings me to something I want to tell you about today. eBay is where I earn most of my money, but like all business people I am always looking for new ways to earn money and grow my business. This is where squidoo comes in. In a matter of 45 minutes you can write 4 or 5 small articles add some pictures, include some links and press publish and there you have a squidoo lens.

Through these lens you will improve your writing and sales writing and you may earn small amounts of money each month. And if you add new lenses on a weekly basis very soon you will be earning some extra income as well as improving your writing skills.

Hope this gives you some extra ideas to earn some extra money outside of eBay.

Well having planned a weekend of listing guess what my lovely internet provider decided to go down and then be on and off all weekend, and has only just decided to come back on. It is at these times that you realise how much one depends on the internet and the world wide web.

So I decided to write out all the listings in a text file so when I start to list it will just be a copy and paste job. Also weighed all the items and made a template for the postage and shipping costs so this should cut down on time. It also meant I was unable to blog etc. But guess the break was good for me.

Have a good week.

Today has been one of those days, when I did not have a lot planned, but ended up doing a lot and being very productive. Sent out 16 items that I have had on sale on Amazon for ages and lat night one person brought them all :) After that spent some time working on a flyer that I am going to be sending out in my local area to attract Trading Assistiant Clients as well as eBay Education Specialist clients, feeling well pleased with the results so far. I plan to send these flyers to local household, businsses and charities.

Just finishing off some articles before I listen into this weeks webinar from Janelle Elms , if you are series about learning more about eBay and ecommerce then there is no better person to learn from than Janelle, she has a unique gift of teaching that draws out the best in all people.

Have a great evening.

Woke up to a cold but lovely day. The day started well with a few items that had sold on eBay and also Amazon. Also had a phone call from a new Trading Assistant Client and also had a call from someone who needs me to help them with their email. Spent the morning and some of this afternoon taking pictures of items I bought over the weekend.

This morning went to Church, where we had a powerful and wonderful morning. After the service checked my iphone to find that I had sold 2 items on eBay and two on Amazon. So total sales were £197.00. Not bad for a morning while not sitting at my computer, profits will be around £100.00.

The lesson here I would like to talk about is that if you set up your business in a correct manner, it can be run on semi-automatic. What do I mean ? Well if you have your listings up all up and running and add new products on a regular basis, then you will sell items on a regular basis and as long as you have your profits built in correct then, on a regular basis you will sell items and make profits each and every day.

Action Point

Take time each day and list items on a regular basis, and over time you will sell items on a regular basis.
