Digg it UP - Doing It eBay: An eBay Business Means Fun and Profits in a Global Marketplace
My regular readers will know that one of the things I highly recommend doing with any online business is automating as many of your day to day tasks as possible.From a personal point of view, one of the tasks that takes up a lot of my time is answering emails. It isn't just answering email that eats up the hours - sorting through and deleting spam and junk mail absorbs a lot of time too. In the good old days, I used to get a couple of spam emails a day. Now it is closer to 1000 a day!In fact, when you look at it, email isn't always the best form of online communication. Not only is there the junk mail issue to contend wit
Why is a network meeting the best place to get participants for a trial run?We talked about taking a booth at a networking event, or at least sharing a booth. The booth has to be more than informational in order to help you move your product or service. I have been to many networking events and have walked by hundreds of booths trying to figure out if what they offer applies to me as a business or as a consumer. The most common thing I see is a table with information, a place to put a business card for a draw (collecting their own mailing list) and a series of brochures that I will likely toss when I get home. It is how you get aro
What's important to understand from the start is that eBay is a sales channel that you can use exclusively or in addition to selling through a retail operation, mail order catalog, independent Web site, or network of direct salespeople. You decide the type of business you want to have, what type of merchandise you’re going to sell, and how you’re going to operate.
To sell on eBay, you'll pay a listing fee to post your merchandise and a final value fee (a small percentage of the sale price) when the item sells. For the current eBay fee schedule, check the eBay site.

Though eBay is a popular place for the sale of used items ranging from high-dollar antiques to second-hand junk, it's also a venue for brand-new, up-to-the-minute merchandise of all types and in all price ranges. Deciding what to sell on eBay can be particularly challengi
Currently Franchisors are required to list litigation in the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular, which is against them. Soon they maybe required to list the litigation that they file as well. In my opinion this is a bad idea all the way around. First of all putting dirty laundry in a UFOC is bad business, the more that is there the worse it is for the brand name and the future franchisees psyche going into a new business. It creates fear, it closes communication; if the franchisor is required to list the litigation that they file then, it makes the franchisee more apt to hide problems during franchisor visits to the franchised outlets,

Can you believe that you can buy a brand new Herman Miller Aeron Mesh Office Chair on eBay for under $700? An industry friend recently posed this question to me when a customer had scoffed at his retail price and told him about the online deal. With different brands, both new and used items, and a variety of ergonomic seating styles offered, ordering your chair through eBay can make comparison pricing and purchasing an office chair a breeze. eBay has seen considerable growth recently in the business and industrial category where office furniture and supplies are listed for sale. With the Herman Miller Aeron Chair being the most

Research inside companies consistently reveals that most employees quit or move on because of a poor relationship with their immediate supervisor. In other words, people don't quit jobs--they quit bosses. Most new managers and supervisors move into their roles because they have demonstrated technical expertise in their industry or field. They rarely begin their management careers with the experience, training and support they need to effectively manage others.I am certainly not alone in working for some memorably bad bosses over my career. Indeed, it was rather cathartic to describe them all in writing:The boss who bit m

The goal of most businesses is to profit and give out the best products and services that they can offer to customers. For companies who manufacture sellable items, producing the end product is not the final step. You already know that your products will sell. The next thing that you need to do is deliver the products either to the stores or straight to your customer’s doorstep. This is where order fulfillment services come in. Companies, either big or small, usually obtain the services of a third-party order fulfillment company. This way, they can concentrate mainly on the manufacturing process and let the order fulfillment companies do
As you take the first step of deciding what to sell on eBay, keep these points in mind:
· Have an interest in the product. Don't choose a product based on potential profits alone; be sure it's something you'll enjoy working with.
· Cost and sale price. How much will the item cost you and how much can you reasonably expect to sell it for?
· Availability. Is the merchandise readily available or will you risk having to deal with supply problems?
· Storage. Do you have room to store the merchandise?
· Packing and shipping. Consider what is involved in packing and shipping the merchandise. Even though the buyer typically pays the shipping costs, think about your labor, time, and potential breakage.
