If you were to look through eBay, or any other online auction site for that matter, you would find that many people make some very basic mistakes. And, they repeat these mistakes over and over again. As indicated in my book “eBay Marketing Wholesale SourcePak” with a little common sense these mistakes are completely preventable. So to prevent you from making these very same mistakes I have put together the Top Ten Tips For Auction Success.

10. Shipping
Always state what your shipping price will be. And, Do Not try to rip off your buyers by inflating the shipping price to increase your profit. Believe it or not, people do have a fair idea of what shipping costs should be. If they feel you are inflating your shipping price they will not bid on your item and may not look at any of your other auctions either from fear of being ripped

The Site Map Important or Not

August 3rd, 2008

Have you ever visited a web site and noticed the “Site Map” button jammed somewhere near the bottom of the page? Ever click on it? Probably not. So, why do sites have site maps?

The Site Map - Very Important

In the old days of the net [about three years ago], experts proclaimed every site should have a site map. From their ivory tower, they proclaimed the site map as the extraordinary method to assure potential customers could easily navigate the site and find what they needed. Once they found it, they would buy it and you would be rich, rich, rich!

As is typical with such universally accepted proclamations, this one was wrong. Anyone remotely paying attention to server statistics realized very few people were visiting site maps. The proclamation stopped being shouted and evolved into criticisms of sites which still have site maps. These criticisms, of course, also miss the mark.

Article Length Thoughts For Online Article Marketers

August 2nd, 2008

It is recommended by the leaders in the field in online marketing thru the use of informational articles to keep them short and tight. They recommend keeping the articles between two hundred and five hundred words. As an article writer I agree with these gurus in online article marketing and most of their points in theory, as smaller articles get picked up on the Internet faster. However, in practice I can say that my large articles have been picked up too, although it is true not to the degree as the smaller tighter articles do, but all my articles seem to have been picked up on websites all over the world now.

Good Homes Under $50,000?

My wife Ana and I found cheap homes for sale all over the country during a seven-week drive, and we even bought one along the way. It was in a pretty little town in the mountains of western Montana, and it cost us $17,500. We spent almost $2000 to fix it up the way we liked it, and lived there for several months before selling it for $28,000.

Mortgage Refinance - 4 Ways To Know It’s Time to Refinance Your House

August 1st, 2008

You may want to refinance your home for several reasons.

1) Mortgage Rates might be lower now. The biggest reason that people refinance their mortgages is to save money. No matter what has happened to you, there is always a good reason to start saving money.

When interest rates are low and you had previously locked your mortgage into a higher price, it might be a good idea to shop your rate around to see how low you can get it. The early 2000’s have been an environment of very low mortgage rates which make it a good idea to shop around to see if you can refinance your mortgage.

2) You need money and need to stretch out your payments. Maybe
