A New FREE Auction Site

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:42:57 +0000

One of the things that really turns me off about ebay is all of the fees that they charge, so I am always on the lookout for other ways to sell things online that are either free or have lower fees. Well, when I heard about this totally free auction site I wanted to share it with everyone. Alterna Auctions is pretty new and it is geared towards items that moms can really use, like cloth diapers, nursing bras, baby clothes and more. Great site. Free to register and sell! That is the best thing! I think that if everyone helps on getting the word out about this it could turn into something big.

Get Motivated To Work At Home

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:34:49 +0000

Hopefully you made your list of goals and are working at accomplishing each one. What? You haven’t even started?

1. Take a moment to focus on what you need to accompish today, this week, this month, this year.
2. Prioritize your goals. What really needs to happen today? What do you HAVE to do within the week. And what would you love to accomplish this year?
3. Take the first step today to reach at least one goal. This may be a simple step but “a journey begins with one step.”

Sometimes our goals seem so out of reach it is tough to invision our goals actual being reached and therefore our motivation dwindles. Don’t think you can make it happen in 1 day, a week, or even a year. Sometimes taking little steps to achieve your goals is all it takes. Do nothing today and that is one more day lost toward your goal. Do something today and that is one more step toward your goal.
Are you ready to move forward?

Selling On Ebay

admin — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:02:44 +0000

I took the leap and started selling on ebay and have sold a few things. I can already see that you have to have a really unique item to sell to get any bids. There are a lot of sellers on ebay and you have a ton of competition. One good way to do good is to charge actual shipping. There are so many sellers on ebay that charge way too much for shipping. Like , $30.00 for shipping a handbag!! Come on! I also noticed that there are a ton of sellers on ebay who are saturating ebay with a ton of cheap items that are worth nothing. I am just trying to clean out of storage and maybe make some extra money. You could make some really good money on ebay if you treated it like a full time job. You have to have a great camera too. I have had a couple of things listed that did not sell and I know that it is because of the pictures. I just do not have a good camera right now and will relist the items when I can take better pictures.
If you have the time and patience than ebay might be a good home based business for you. I am just doing it part-time right now and hope to do it full-time soon.

Working At Home With A Toddler!!

admin — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:49:35 +0000

I am up early trying to get some work done before my little one wakes up! I thought that the older he got the easier it would be for me too work at home! Man, was I wrong! He wants more attention now more than ever. I have to chase him all over the house because he gets into stuff, he just wears me out. I can work really early in the morning , nap time, and really late at night. So basically — I GET NO SLEEP AT ALL! I have tried everything to try and keep him busy while I try to work. He does love the Backyardigans and Barney, but they only last a half hour. I did luck out and got him a bunch of Barney videos , but he does not watch them for very long. So I guess that since I want to work at home, I will just have to get used to no sleep.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO ENTERTAIN A LITTLE ONE WHILE YOU TRY TO WORK AT HOME.

A True FREE Home Business

admin — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:18:32 +0000

I know that everyone has heard of drop shipping products. You see people at online auctions, like eBay!, selling drop shipped items all of the time. Drop shipping is where you sell an item that the wholesale supplier has in stock and then they mail it for you. This is awesome for people who do not have a lot of space. There are many drop ship programs out there that charge you fees and cost you a lot , but I am going to give up my secrets of the FREE way to do it. I have used several drop ship companies for the last several years and they do not cost a thing! Why pay for a drop ship membership when you can get it for free and I am also going to share my favorite FREE online auctions and marketplaces! You will be up and running by the end of the day and it will not cost you a dime!
A TRUE FREE HOME BASED BUSINESS!

The first thing is to find the companies that will drop ship for you with no fees. It took me a while to find these companies and a lot of people would not tell who their suppliers are, but I feel confident in telling my blog readers my suppliers. These companies have such a variety that we will be still selling different items.
LIST OF MY favorite DROP SHIPPING COMPANIES:

Empire Pets they sell a huge variety of pet supplies for wholesale and they will drop ship. Just pay shipping and free sign up.

IWDSC Drop Ship This is one of my faves! They have a huge variety of items that are neat. You will see what I mean when you check out there site. Free sign up and free drop shipping.

Polka Dot Petals has the best handbags there are at low wholesale prices.

A1A Gifts Online is the best of the best. They have over 3,000 items for you to sell, free sign up and free drop shipping. Just pay the low shipping. I love this company and have used them since 2002! I have sold a lot of their items! I have never had any problems with them and they have very fast shipping. I love them . I really cannot say enough about them, they are great!

Nugin
is an awesome dropshipping program. You sign up at the wholesale program link. They have free sign up and no drop shipping fees. They offer really neat and unique items ,like swords and more. THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY JUST RECENTLY RAISED THEIR SHIPPING PRICES. SO YOU HAVE TO FIGURE THAT IN. I have used them a lot though and love them. Their swords are so unique that they sell really well.

MayDay Industries survival supplies sell well. They have a $20.00 minimum on their drop ship orders, but that is easy to overcome.

Trademark Commerce has the best poker supplies, billiard supplies, sporting goods, swords, and more. Free sign up!

Gems on Display supplies for the jewelry selling person. Free sign up and no drop ship fees.

Stealth Wholesale has great items for you to drop ship after you sign up for free.

Dhanish free drop shipping of jewelry

Purse Sale has great handbags for you to sell. I have used them several times.

Now that I have given you most of my suppliers , I am now going to give you some free places online for you to start selling them!! You can sell them anywhere online, but right now I am wanting to give you free places to sell them!

Ecrater is the best free online marketplace. You can set up your own store, add your own items with pics, they have paypal and google checkout integrated into their shopping cart software, and they are free! I have used them for a while now and love them. My store is For The Birds

Goth Auctions is totally free and really a niche auction site , but I have had great experience with it.

Gothic Auctions is another free auction site that is a niche one. I have sold a ton of items on this one!! I love it. Swords, handbags, books, home decor , and make up sell great on this one. My daughter also sold a bunch of clothes and shoes on there!

HomeSchool Auctions is a great place to sell textbooks. I have sold a few on there,but not in a while.

EPagan Auctions a new age and pagan geared auction site. I have sold some books on there and some herbs.

There are more free online auction sites out there,but I only listed the ones that I have personally had experience with and that I know anything about. Some of the FREE auctions sites out there just look too new and I feel a little nervous about. But these that I listed have been around for years and i have had experience with and love them.

WELL NOW THAT I SPILLED THE BEANS ON HOW YOU CAN START A FREE HOME BASED BUSINESS - I GUESS THAT YOU NEED TO GET TO WORK !!

AFTER YOU ARE DONE COME BACK HERE AND IN THE COMMENTS SHARE YOUR LINK TO YOUR NEW STORE OR AUCTIONS!

Sell Candle Making Supplies

admin — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:17:11 +0000

Do you like candles and making candles?? Do you have a website or blog where you think that you could sell candle making supplies? Do you have an eBay account where you think that you could sell candle making supplies ? Than this drop shipping account might be one for you to try - Creative Illuminations. They have no minimums and it is an easy format to use. You can sign up for free. I love this program because they have all kinds of different kits to choose from and you can also get just the candle wax if you want. They have a great selection.
