Time flies when you have your head down multi-tasking! Juggling so many balls at once does get challenging being a solo online entrepreneur who gets easily befuddled with new technology to absorb, learn, and implement. I would remind myself that blogging is an important part of my business model, yet other things seemed to take predence. Those days are over as I pledge to become an avid blogger with lots of information to share!
Did you know that my eBay Store, worldwide-traders-online, is featured in a new book soon to be released by The American Management Association, “The eBay Marketing Bible”? It is cowritten by Cindy Shelby, (Certified eBay Consultant and Educator of Clover City Consulting), and Cliff Ennico (Attorney and author of “The eBay Seller’s Tax and Legal Answer Book? It is being presold on Amazon now and expected to hit the bookstores later this month. I’m thrilled and honored that my Latin American niche with emphasis on Day of the Dead folk art, Frida Kahlo, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and South of the Border inspired accessories was included.
I”m working my way through OSI Rock Stars 9 week Training on “Profits Outside of eBay” course which has expanded my original business plan to include other online sales channels. I recently expanded outside of eBay to a new site called Bonanzle, opening a booth a week ago called worldwidetraders. I’m working on creating a widget to include some of my listings in m blog, but that will have to wait for another posting. I’m impressed with Bonanzle as it is easy to list, has an amazing photo cropper tool, booth owners have a live chat feature so when you are online you can interact with prospective buyers real time, the community is positive, andextremely helpful. You must subscribe to Google Base and add your listings weekly for SEO, since this isn’t a feature that is provided automatically.
I owe much of my success to being part of an amazing membership site, OSI Rock Stars, created by eBay Educator Janelle Elms. If you seek a thorough understanding of all facets of online sales and marketing available 24/7 around your schedule, and a caring, positive community this site will ROCK YOUR WORLD! I invite you to take a back stage tour and see for yourself! The podcasts and webinars are a success roadmap that thoroughly explains each topic and builds to the next interconnecting subject.
My linking code isn’t working properly, must go pack and ship will edit to include links to forementioned sites later.
Look for photos from several Day of the Dead celebrations in Arizona to come, plus I’m kicking off a series of artist interviews that are Day of the Dead related. Lots of surprises are in store.
