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.

4 Mistakes Bloggers Make That Can Stop Them From Making Money With Their Blogs

Blogging is a powerful tool for increasing traffic to your website and boosting your online profits. However, many bloggers fail to use their blogs to increase the money they earn on the internet because they commit the four typical mistakes which are discussed in this article.

1. Some bloggers don’t blog on a regular basis, and their blogs do not have fresh and unique content. Blogs can be powerful in driving traffic to a website if they have high quality and unique content, which makes search engines visit them and index the content. After the blog is indexed by search engines, people looking for information on search engines that relate to your blog’s keywords will be directed to your website, and you therefore get high volumes of traffic.

2. Lack of useful and captivating information on the website. It is important for your blog to have information which your visitors will enjoy and find useful. If you have high quality information on your blog, you will get many visitors and some people will also bookmark your blog and visit on a regular basis. This increases the traffic to your blog and website and results in more sales. It is also important for you to make your blog unique and attractive by adding interesting images and any other information that will be of interest to your blog’s visitors.

3. Lack of keywords in your blog categories and blog content. This is the most powerful way to increase traffic to your website. You must know and use all the keywords that relate to your niche when posting on your blog. If you have some headings for categories on your blog, make sure that you use your keywords on the headings of these categories as this increases the visibility of your blog on search engines.

4. Some bloggers do not increase the earning potential of their blogs. If you want to earn money with your blog, you must sell your own products and services on the blog. You can also identify affiliate programs that match your niche and sell these affiliate products. All you need to do is to add your affiliate links on your blog. You can review these affiliate products and include the keywords in your blog content. You can also increase the money you earn from your blog by adding some Google Adsense adverts on your website. When someone clicks of the Google Adsense adverts from your website, you earn some money.

If you want to increase your online profits from your blogs, avoid the four mistakes presented above.
