Welcome back!

Selling on E Bay has become a popular home based business. It helps you to go into E-Commerce without having the trouble of setting up your own E-Commerce website. The following tips would help you to be successful in your E Bay business:

1. Use good quality pictures of your products. It has been said that ‘A picture is worth 1000 words’. All your E Bay listings should be accompanied by good quality pictures.  If possible, use a digital camera. You can provide multiple pictures of your products so that the prospective customer can see the products from different angles.
2. Before listing a product for sale, do some research about the product. Find out whether similar products are being sold on E Bay and at what price. Try to find out which products are in demand.
3. Find out the best and cheapest method of shipping for your product and mention that in your E Bay listing. Also mention the shipping cost involved. 
4. The description of your product is as important as the picture. Make sure to focus on the item’s benefits. Give complete details about the product. You can use important keywords in the description. 
5. Offer different payment options to your customers. You may offer credit cards, Paypal, Moneybookers, personal checks and any other methods which you may like. The more the options, the better it is. 
6. When you are selling on E Bay, positive feedbacks are very important. So try to get positive feedbacks from your customers. If you have a good reputation, the customers can trust you and would bid for your offers.
7. You can use the ‘About Me’ page of E Bay. It will improve your credibility with the buyers. Just give a small information about yourself, your business and the products that you offer to sell.
8. Mention your terms and conditions clearly. Mention your shipping time and cost, your refund policy and any other terms which you may think to be important. 
9. Try to list more items. Instead of listing your items one by one, try to list all the items at the same time. This will help you to get more sales.

Ebay I feel needs to be an integral part of making money online.  Now one of the most treasured secrets that I use on Ebay is dropshipping.  Dropshipping helps you when you don’t want to go out looking for products, and/or dont have the resources to purchase products.  My next article will help with dropshipping, and I have found one of the best resources for dropshippers here.  It does cost $14.95, but you get more dropshippers than I can deal with.  It is a list of over 2000 different dropshippers, and I am now going to share them with you.  This month so far has been my best on eBay.  I am currently at around $1300 in pure profit from dropship orders.  Anyways take a gander.

A great way to make money online is to write content. You can write articles, write posts for other blogs, put content on your blog etc. Now Im not going to sugar coat it, but in today’s society we all have some really poor grammer and punctuation. I recently just purchased a new software package that is helping me with my business writing. I am not the greatest when it comes to business writing and my legal jargon is not great either. This new software takes care of all of that.
I am now currently using this software to make money online writing articles with great grammer and punctuation that are being sold. Hopefully this helps all of you as well.

Good Day everyone.  Well today my friend finally wanted to continue on his wordpress blog.  This is a continuation on his journey to make money onlineand hopefully all the information will benefit you as well.  Today we are going to go through how to set up a wordpress blog.

After you have purchased your domain and webhost, ( I say use lunarpages.com) go ahead and log into your control panel.  To log into your control panel it is normally www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel.  After you log in you should see a screen such as:

Control Panel Logo

At the control panel screen you will want to scroll down and click on thefantastico button. 

This will then take you to the next screen will on the left sidebar you want to click on the title wordpress:

After clicking on the wordpress sidebar button, a new screen will pull up where you want to press the new installation button :

New Installation

On the next screen I will go through the installation process by referring to each number on the screen shot.

1.  This is where you want wordpress to be installed.  i.e.  www.yourdomainname.com

2.  This is where you want to type in your admin username to log into the wordpress dashboard.  I recommend something very simple for you to remember.

3.  This is the password that will be associated with your login name.  Again I recommend something that you will be able to remember easily.

4.  This is the nickname you want to show up when you type a new post or leave a comment on your blog.

5.  Your Email address that you want any email to do with your blog sent to.

6.  This is the name of your site that will be displayed in the theme you choose.

7.  The description of your site.

This is a brief tutorial on how to install wordpress on your new website. 

Hopefully this will help all newbies install their new blog, on their journey to make money online.

Happy Earning,

Make More Money

Good Sunday to everyone.  Normally this is a day of rest, but since I happened to have missed a few days of posting I decided to make it up.  Everyone who reads this blog should know that to make money online you need a few different sites, a few different ideas, and a few different domains.  Well I just purchased some new domains and upon the advice of one of my mentors I needed to get new hosting as well.  I currently and always have used hostgator for all of my hosting.  I am getting close to using all my bandwidth and also my mentor said that it is better to have two hosting partners so that your passwords are different and if one gets hacked, not all of your websites that make money online are gone.

I agree with this advice and decided to sign up with a new hosting provider for my new domains that I just recently purchased.  These domains I have been waiting on for about two years and have some great Ideas for them to help make money online in different new niches.  One of them I feel is my new bread and butter niche so be ready to hear about that one in a few months.

Anyways here is the banner for my new hosting company.  Feel free to check them out and I would personally enjoy it if you signed up underneath my link, but it is fully up to you.  Some of the features are listed but what I really enjoy from them is free bonuses that they give you. 
Purchase ANY hosting plan with Lunarpages and for a limited time receive full registered versions of Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows & Linux, WinSettings and Photo TurboBackup by FileStream, Logo Creator Entertainment and Sports Editions, 60 days free at RatePoint, 15 DNS level Gafana spam, virus protection, and email management accounts, $100 LinkWorth free advertising credits and $20 in Bidvertiser clicks, DeepTrawl website error checker, plus 3 months of VisitorVille web stats and 3 months of SiteScout’s Infection Alert Service! - valued at over $775 - Absolutely FREE!
