Your Virtual Assistant Can Help With Your eBay Sales or Store!

I was an eBay power seller until I moved from my little country town of Steelville, MO to Ellisville in St. Louis County in November of 2011.

I packed my most precious valuables and the things I absolutely had to have and downsized from a big, old 5 bedroom house to a sweet but small 2 bedroom apartment.

The movies and books and memorabilia from my retired store which were the things I was selling so well on eBay got left “for later”. Sadly, in June of 2012, my old house was burned to the ground by arson and I had never gotten around to making the trip to get these items.

For 2 years prior to moving, I had been listing and selling the great content I took home with me from retiring my brick and mortar store. I had an eBay store with over 2,000 items at one time. As I reduced my stock I eventually closed the eBay store to save the fee because you can literally list thousands of items on eBay without having to have “a store”.

It is more work to sell on eBay and get and retain power seller status than you might think. It literally took hours to list each item, find the image or images I wanted and to write descriptions to help them appeal and sell. Yes, there are ready-made templates on eBay IF the item is listed already, but I wanted mine to be more original and stand out from the crowd, and though a rare occurrence, there ARE mistakes in those cookie cutter descriptions and if you are not careful, you will have a misleading listing and this can cost you time, reputation and also money if you have to give a refund because the item was not what you stated it was.

Gotta toot my own horn a bit here, I have 100% positive feedback I have maintained for over 6 years on Jan’s eBay page. This is 1663 perfect transactions – both as a seller and a buyer :-)

Anyway, enough rambling! I can take your list of items along with pictures that you supply or those I can research and find and not only set you up in your own eBay store or listings but can maintain it all for you. If it is something as easy as movies or books, I can even use wikopedia or google and get informative descriptions to add to that area for you and make your offers stand out from the others.

Or I can just simply list your items and use the standard images that are on eBay for that purpose. This is a time consuming task that may be keeping your from selling on eBay yourself and being able to outsource the things you do not want to do or do not have time to do can make all the difference in moving forward to getting rid of things you no longer want or need and getting some income from it.

If this sounds like something you would like to check into more, just drop me a line at jantallent at gmail.com and we can chat about the possibilities.

Your Virtual Assistant Can Do Fun Stuff For You, Too!

Monday, April 15th, 2013

There is an endless number of work related tasks that your Virtual Assistant can do to ease your own work load. Not to mention, she can help with your personal and family plans like booking your transportation, lodging, rental vehicle, places to eat and shop and so much more.

But, you do some fun stuff online that might take away from the duties you personally feel you need to perform for your business and your Virtual Assistant can help with these things as well.

For my own enjoyment, I collect images of Betty Boop. There is no monetary value to doing this; it just relaxes me and makes me happy to amass every image I can find that I want to save. To ME, this is like someone else’s “break” from work where he or she plays video games or watches videos or reads joke sites.

I have quite a bit of time during the day where I can not really DO any concentrated or serious “work”. I babysit my now 18 month old and just turned 4 year old grandsons. I am actually training them that when Grandma says “timed assignment” or “quiet work” that this is absolutely time I have to have to do the work I am talking about. I do this as little as possible so as not to rob the importance from the statements or to make them apt to ignore me during these needed peaceful moments and it is SO nice to be able to honestly say it is working quite well considering the ages of these two little boys.

I did this with my own kids when I was building and then running my online businesses and the same principles still seem to work.

During this “down time” I am constantly checking on clients and watching for important emails but to just sit at my computer with nothing REAL to do just does not work for me. Thus my free time to search for and save my precious Betty Boop images where it does not really matter if I am constantly interrupted or how much time I might spend idle.

If you have not done anything like this it might shock to you to learn that it really CAN be “work”. I have a folder on my computer desktop called, “Pics”. In it are several sub-folders. One is, of course, Betty Boop. But also in this folder are several sub-folders. I have categories that make sense to ME for what each pic represents and I file them in these folders. Somedays I have the patience to file as I download, but most often, I file them into a folder called “sort” and then when I get extra mindless time I start filing those a few at a time.

This would and does also work for my RECIPES folder where I have sub-folders for “Make ASAP”, “Holidays”, “Cooking Outside” and many more.

Maybe you either do something like this, or want to but do not have the time or do not want to take time away from your work day to do it – well, why not have your Virtual Assistant do this for you? With DropBox and so many other ways to share folders of goodies, she can even make you folders and sub-folders, add content as you specify and get them back to you ready to download to your own computer.

If you DO collect Betty or automobile or sports figures or other fun images or even trivia facts from doing searches and compiling documents of them, why not drop me a comment and let me know I am not alone here in my odd hobby. Or, hey, maybe we can talk about how I can help you pursue your wishes to have some fun and not have to do all of the work involved.

3 Ways To Use PLR Products To Boost Your Blogging

Friday, March 1st, 2013

Blogging requires you to produce a lot of content on a regular basis. If you do not have a ghostwriter writing your blog content, you will need to spend some time writing your blog posts.

(Private Label Rights) PLR articles and e-books are very popular and can help you to unleash the power of your blogging.

This article outlines how you can use PLR content to make your blogging quick and easy.

1. Buy PLR articles or e-books and customize them into blog posts. All you have to do is to look for PLR content that relates to your niche, break that content into smaller pieces and customize it to make it unique. Remember that for search engines to index your blog and drive traffic to your blog, you need to have unique information. After you have customized this content, put it into blog posts. This process will make it easy and quick for you to generate content for your website.

2. Buy PLR articles and e-books, customize them into your own e-books and make them available on your blog for free. This will make your blog very informative and helpful, which will make your visitors want to bookmark your blog and visit it on a regular basis. These regular customers will generate you some sales as they are likely to buy more products from you. By using PLR content and customizing it into your own e-books and reports, you make it easy to create e-books or reports, which you can give away on your blog. Writing e-books from scratch can cost you a lot of money or take a lot of time. PLR articles and e-books make it easy for you create your own products that you can post on your blog for your visitors to read.

3. To attract traffic to your blog, you can compile PLR content into special reports, make them unique and give them away to your list. In these reports, you can add the links to your blog. This can be very powerful because on your blog you will be selling more of your own products or affiliate products. Using this approach can help you sell new products to your list on a regular basis.

These three tips can help you use PLR content to increase the power of your blogging. PLR content that you can customize means that you can generate content for your blog very quickly. PLR content is also fairly cheap. The more unique and fresh content you have on your blog, the more traffic you drive you to blog.
