Sales Forecasting: A Few Tips To Make It Easier
If we could forecast the future accurately, most of us would spend our lives at a racetrack or casino rather than at work. But forecasting the future is something we all have to do as business owners – either to set internal goals, to obtain additional financing and for other reasons. Forecasting is, however, one of the most difficult and frustrating things that we have to do and few things cause as much anguish and soul searching as s

rs trying to recruit bidders into a business opportunity. Listing these types of auctions is against eBay’s policies, and many will be closed before the auction ends. However you should be able to gain at least a couple of feedbacks a week by bidding on them. Use the advance search feature to ferret them out. Search for the terms “no shipping,” “free shipping,” “free auction” or something similar in the auction description, and only search auctions that are between one and three cents. Sort the results to display the auctions ending soonest, and bid on the ones

Lone Ranger or Collaborator
As a kid I spent hours alone, practicing the cello, writing novels and playing with my pet mouse. Yes, I played with a gang of neighborhood kids, too, but there's always been a strong "lone ranger" streak in me.It wasn't until I was 36 years old that I finally began to understand fully the power and creative high of being a collaborator. I had started a handmade tile business with a friend, and we had to make hundreds of decisions ever

Your biggest obstacle to selling at the outset is going to be that you have no transaction history on eBay. Buyers have no reason to trust you. And the best indicator of whether or not they should trust you to deliver what you promise is your feedback rating.

This is how eBay describes feedback ratings:

“Feedback ratings are used to determine each member's feedback score. A positive rating adds 1 to the score, a negative rating decreases it by 1, and a neutral rating has no impact. The higher the feedback score, the more positive ratings they've received from members. However, a member can increase or decrease another member's score by only 1 no matter how many transactions they share.”

There are two ways to quickly build feedback while you are establishing your new eBay business. One is to make purchases, and the other is to sell inexpensive things that bidders are willing to risk a couple of dollars on. You should achieve a feedback rating of no less than 25 before listing items in your specialty (unless you can sell some cheap items in that niche). Doing so will bring more bids and higher selling prices when you list those items.

When exploring eBay for bargains to build your feedback, you might think about picking up some business or success books. These are tax deductible for you as a business owner. One book that every business owner should read at least once a year is “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. You should be able to pick it up for five or six dollars, including shipping. Be wary of shipping costs while bidding, by the way. Always decide the most you are willing to pay for an item prior to bidding, subtract the shipping cost, and bid no higher than the difference between those two figures. You might also look for some books about selling on eBay, or a recent edition of “Taxes for Dummies.” If you haven’t received feedback by the time you receive your item in the mail, first leave feedback for the seller, then send them an email informing them that you received the item, posted feedback for them, and ask them to post feedback for you as well.

Another quick way to build feedback is by bidding on penny auctions that have no shipping fees associated with them. These are usually placed by sellers trying to recruit bidders into a business opportunity. Listing these types of auctions is against eBay’s policies, and many will be closed before the auction ends. However you should be able to gain at least a couple of feedbacks a week by bidding on them. Use the advance search feature to ferret them out. Search for the terms “no shipping,” “free shipping,” “free auction” or something similar in the auction description, and only search auctions that are between one and three cents. Sort the results to display the auctions ending soonest, and bid on the ones

Tech Support Email Writing Exposed!
For a long time, I have been noticing the -- sometimes appalling -- way that people write emails. Too many do not bother to check their writing before sending out their emails. We see that in personal emails, business emails and on internet forums. The worst offenders being sales letters that are full of errors!And, more and more, we see this sloppiness in the correspondence of tech support groups who are front end customer service rep

Plumbers and their Mates
Plumbers today are usually far too busy to take time out of their busy work schedule to learn new marketing methods. Yet when a quiet time comes, they often don’t know how to advertise their services better.Or how to market their capabilities better and put themselves on the tendering lists for those bigger and sometimes more profitable jobs.Yet on a jobsite, they usually have a radio on and are listening to either a talk-back p

s when you list those items.

Entrepreneurs Control the Opportunity
After spending whatever time and energy might be necessary, you find the business opportunity that you think might be just right for you. Now you have to control the opportunity during the time it takes to be sure. You don't want to lose it to someone else and you don't want the seller to change his or her mind.At this stage many people find it impossible to think of anything except how they are going to get the money, or what price c

You might also look for some books about selling on eBay, or a recent edition of “Taxes for Dummies.” If you haven’t received feedback by the time you receive your item in the mail, first leave feedback for the seller, then send them an email informing them that you received the item, posted feedback for them, and ask them to post feedback for you as well.

Mortgage Marketing, Concepts for The Future and From the Past
For both new and experienced loan officers looking to market their business to drum up some mortgage leads, consider a couple of old and new marketing concepts.It is the twenty first century and it seems as though just about everybody and their brother is blogging. So why not build a mortgage blog just for yourself?If you are sitting there thinking that you are not that computer literate or you are not a computer programmer, don

We also mentioned selling some cheap items that bidders will be willing to risk a couple of bucks on. Small paperback books or other items around your house that are inexpensive to ship work well for this. Mark the shipping up by about a dollar more than it will actually cost to ship your item, and start the bidding at a penny. Even if the item only sells for a penny, you will probably break even on the auction after you pay your eBay and PayPal fees. Remember, this is about building feedback, and not about making money (yet).
