3 Steps to Begin Making Money on eBay™ Fast - When You Don't Know Where to Start
By: Pauline Kiselbach
Do not sit in front of your computer any more, wasting time and daydreaming. Begin today to take the necessary steps needed to make money on eBay™.
I have discovered how awesome eBay™ really is!
It was not too long ago that I had no clue what eBay™ was about, and now look at me, an eBay™ enlightened Mom!
Would you like to get there too? It is not difficult and it is really a lot of fun.
eBay™ is the latest, and greatest money-making endeavor I have found. And believe me, I have searched high and low in all kinds of markets and businesses to find something that could work for me.
Nothing I found seemed to tickle my fancy until eBay™. There were always too many loopholes to stop me from pursuing any of the ideas I came across. Such problems I found were, for example: the costs which seemed to escalate, the amount of time that was required was more than I could give, the steps were way too complicated and the end result always seemed way too small.
No, not me boy, I wanted to invest only a small amount of money, I wanted to spend about 15 hours on this per week, and I needed it to be pretty simple, something that if I stopped at any moment, (you know the kids always distract me at the wrong times) I needed to be able to pick up where I left off and not end up completely confused. Does this sound like the same issues you have had?
Let eBay™ be your solution to the fastest and most simple way of making money! Let me share the ropes with you so you can begin right away.
Step 1 - Log on to eBay™ and start exploring!
Sounds too easy right? Well it is, as I promised. Just look up searches for things you are interested in and see for yourself how items are listed.
Make note as to how some auctions draw your eye to them, and others don't. Look at the titles of the items, which ones would you be more drawn to and why. Under the "search" box, use different words to describe what it is you want to find and see what comes up.
Notice how many different categories there are and observe the specialty sites. Interesting now isn't it!
If you are feeling a bit more comfortable the next thing you should do is buy something from eBay™.
Step 2 - Buy something from eBay™.
The reason you need to buy something is because to be a good seller you must understand what it is like to be a buyer. You do not have to spend a lot of money here, in fact you should not spend a lot, just get your feet a bit wet and try it out.
To find out the steps in buying from eBay™ check out my other articles. You will see that it is not difficult to set up a buyer's account on eBay™, AND you get to choose an eBay™ user ID, a code word if you like that eBay™ users will know you by. Sounds exciting now doesn't it! Who knew that part of the process to making money on eBay™ was shopping! Well I would say that is just too much fun.
Okay, now you have browsed around eBay™, you have familiarized yourself with auctions, and you have purchased something! That is great and you are now ready to make some money.
Step 3 - Sell something from your attic.
Don't panic if you do not have an attic. Do you have a cupboard, a closet, a drawer, a child! No, just kidding, there is no need to sell your firstborn, at least not yet! But you do need to find something to sell, and it would be best if it was not your mother's $5,000.00 wedding ring please!
You do not want to start with an expensive item, remember this is a first sale for you so make it easy for yourself. Also, keep in mind shipping costs and packaging needs, so size and weight is a factor here.
Once you have found your first item, or items, take some really good pictures of them and upload the photos on your computer. You are now ready to set up a seller's account on eBay™. My other articles can guide you through this process.
If you have followed these steps, you can sit back now and watch the price of your item go up and up, until at last someone buys it!
You have taken the plunge. In essence you have begun your exciting career on eBay™. May this be the beginning of a very profitable journey for you.

12 Surefire Steps To Home Based Business Success
By: Daegan Smith
The following advice includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood about home based business success. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.
I am going to be my own boss. I will be the one to call the shots. I will work at my own pace and time. I will have free time in my hands. I will spend quality time with my loved ones. I will succeed. I will enjoy my life.
So, you have decided to venture into a home business --- where you work for yourself and greatly reap the fruits of your labor. However, there are some bad news and good news that you should be aware of.
BAD NEWS: Studies show that 80-90% of home businesses fail.
GOOD NEWS: Your business can be among the 10-20% that actually succeed!
How? By following the "12 Steps To Home Business Success." And you can do that with PEP!
*P - PREPARING/PLANNING EXTENSIVELY
When you do decide to venture into a home business, the very next thing to do is prepare for it. Prepare a business plan. This will be the very foundation of your business. You can do this by following these steps:
1) Start with the basics.
What type of business would you like to get into? Would you be selling products, would you be offering services, or would you like to try both? In any case, you must decide on which particular product and/or service you would want to focus.
Have difficulty deciding? Here's a simple but sure-fire tip: Focus on what you know and enjoy.
If you have a talent in writing and editing, you can venture into an editorial services business. Are you into graphic arts? Can you design/layout brochures, business cards, newsletters, etc. using your computer? Then you can get into desktop publishing.
Do you know how Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, reached the pinnacle of success? He decided to venture into the one thing that he loved --- computers.
So, whatever type of business and whatever product or service you decide to start with, always make sure that you are familiar with it and that you have passion for it. The first will save you time, the second will keep you motivated.
When you are already decided about the type of venture you want, think of a name for your business. Make sure that it is unique, easy to remember, and professional. Of course, also make sure that it is significantly related to your business.
2) Gather your resources.
You cannot put up a business without a capital. This includes the monetary or financial capital, material capital (supplies, gadgets, etc.), and manpower. Do you think you are prepared to invest all this into your business?
3) Draw out your goals and set your mind into them.
Set general goals and specific ones. Formulate short-term goals and long-term ones. What do you aspire to achieve in one month, three months, six months, one year?
Visualize your goals. Have a vivid image of each goal in your mind. How do you see yourself a year or two from now?
Have a list of your goals on hand. Read your list regularly. Did you know that by merely doing so, you actually increase your home business success rate by 100%?
*E - ESTABLISHING YOUR BUSINESS.
This stage refers to the actual nitty-gritty of setting up your home business. This time, you are done with conceptualization and you are ready to get into action. You are now implementing the plan that you have prepared. Here are several steps that will help you establish your home business and achieve home business success:
4) Work on the legal requirements of your home business.
For your venture to be a legal business entity, you need to work on certain formalities. These include registering your business name, applying for a business permit/license, setting up a taxation system, and other paperwork. In this step, you also formulate a compensation plan for your employees.
5) Devise a marketing plan.
How do you create exposure for your products and/or services? Formulate a creative, innovative marketing plan. Consider the following factors/concerns:
. Your target market.
Clearly define your target market. This will help you decide which advertising and promotion strategies would be more appropriate to draw in your prospective clients/customers.
Most of this information comes straight from the business success pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know.
. Your products/services.
Of course, your advertising and promotion techniques will greatly depend on the type of products/services that you sell/offer. Make sure your strategies will "sell" your products/services. If you are offering graphic designing services and you give out poorly-made flyers, you will surely attract no clients at all.
. Your resources.
You cannot aspire for grand and complicated advertisements if you are limited by financial constraints. You can, however, maximize whatever resources are available to you to effectively promote your product. Take advantage of the Internet. By using e-mail, blogging, forums, etc., you can spread the word about your business in a flash!
. Your uniqueness.
"Same-old, same-old" will give you no gold. You can still utilize the most common advertising/promotion strategies, but give them a twist. Think of the most creative ways to catch --- and hold! --- your customers' attention. Make offers they can't resist.
6) Formulate a Daily Method of Operation (DMO).
Make sure that your Daily Method of Operation is practicable, realistic, and goal-oriented. Set specific things to be done during specific hours. Set your priorities for each day. Make sure that such tasks can really be done and that they are done for the purpose of reaching your goals.
7) Manage your time effectively.
Although you practically have time in your own hands and you are your own boss, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax all you want. In fact, you must be more cautious about spending your time because your home business success depends on you --- the time and efforts that you commit to your venture.
*P - POWERING UP.
Your home business is already established based on your plan. Can you now just relax and watch the cash flowing in? Of course not! Maintaining a successful home business entails exactly that --- "maintenance." You need to continue working for your home business success. Here are some steps to power up your home business:
8) Aim for your personal development.
How do you develop your personality and how can this help you achieve home business success? Consider the following ways:
. Be educated.
Continue learning about your business, as well as about yourself. Participate in meaningful seminars and workshops. Read a lot, especially the stories of successful people. See what you can learn from any situation that you get into. Make each day a learning experience.
. Be motivated.
Read inspirational stories. Listen to motivational news.
. Be sociable.
Of course, you need to interact with other people; otherwise, you cannot do business with them. But besides that and more so, you need to socialize with other people and learn from them. Exchange tips with them. Learn from their mistakes and be inspired by their triumphs.
. Be an inspiration.
Aim for your personal growth and inspire others. If you want to see positive changes in your home business or your financial life, you should first strive to achieve inner growth. Grow from within and develop the without as well.
9) Develop the desirable or must-have traits for home business success.
In connection with step number 8, here are other traits that you should develop for you to achieve success in your home business:
. The 3 P's - Patience, Persistence/Perseverance, Passion
. The 3 D's - Desire, Discipline, Determination
. The 3 C's - Courage, Confidence, Consistency
10) Take care of your health.
This looks too simple, but it is very important in any business endeavor and many people tend to take it for granted. How can you work on your business and attain success if your physical being is poor? Eat a balanced diet. Exercise regularly. Monitor your stress level. Stay physically fit and enjoy your home business feat!
11) Have a balanced life.
Your home business success will not be as meaningful if you do not have success in your personal life. Do not surrender all of yourself to your business. Even Bill Gates takes a week of rest and solitude every month. Have that needed rest. Spend quality time with your loved ones. You will see that as you rejuvenate yourself, you will be more productive and even more prepared to face the various challenges that your home business may pose. Take time to enjoy life, for that, indeed, is the very purpose of your financial success!
12) Have the right mindset.
Do your best and believe that you can and will succeed. Never give up. If Thomas Alva Edison quit when he failed after thousands of trials, we wouldn't be enjoying the benefits of the electric light bulb today. As the great inventor aptly put it: "Many of life's failures are done by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
Yes, you can venture into a home business and enjoy your life. Just follow the "12 Steps To Home Business Success"!
Those who only know one or two facts about home business success can be confused by misleading information. The best way to help those who are misled is to gently correct them with the truths you're learning here.

Online Data Entry Review
Today, I am going to review a home based business opportunity. There are many sites offering Data Entry from home. Generally, this is submitting ads to Google or Yahoo that draw customers searching for the content. You are paid a commission through Clickbank whenever someone buys the product. This can earn you a great income since the commission usually is 50 - 75% of the purchase price. This is usually referred to as either Worldwide or Global Data Entry. You can generally obtain this or similar programs for $49.95 or $99.95 depending on the company you purchase it from. Some are even higher or there is a monthly fee involved.
I wanted to let you know of another site offering Worldwide Data Entry and seven other data entry programs as well. I have ordered this program and I am very impressed. It is called Online Data Entry Jobs. The owner is Laura Kauth and she offers the Worldwide Data Entry along with the ability to start your own offline home based secretarial business. She also offers information on how to make money online doing article typing, response typing, data proofreading, and data collection. Instructions on being an online marketing typist and outsource data operator are also included. All these programs are packaged for one price of $49.95. This is a one-time fee with a 30-day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
This is a wonderful opportunity. All of the programs are laid out step by step and are very easy to do. All the tools you could need to work these programs are included as well. Online Data Entry Jobs provides everything you need and has an outstanding support team that will help you in any way they can. They also offer some great bonuses, including typing training and information on managing your home based business
I do not see how you could not make money with this program. As long as you follow the directions and apply yourself, you should earn a great income. $49.95 for an opportunity that will provide you multiple steams of income? Sounds like a great deal to me.
