On Becoming a “Twit”

I’m entering a new……let’s not edit myself and my ideas so much phase.….So buckle up and hold on to the side rails of your computer chair cause it could get a little crazy round here.

Overlooked Treasure

Here’s a short free eBook called Overlooked Treasure! describing items that might be lying around your basement or attic you can sell on eBay for profit. The author researched completed eBay auctions to come up with this list. It’s surprising what some of these items, such as cast iron skillets and cake decorating books, were able to sell for on eBay.

My daughter is over for the holidays and tonight we messed around a bit and came up with this new pictorial header for My eBay Adventure.

Usable..Unique..Updated

Watch What You SeeAccording to Seth Godin, the creator of Squidoo, the three UUU’s necessary to a popular web presence is content that is;

Usable, unique and updated.

If you want to attract readers don’t write for the shear pleasure of self-expression, write with your audience in mind.
