To Make a Long Story Shorter

"Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
-Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People



If you know their name, USE IT.
If you don't, ask for it. Then USE IT!

One. Bite. At a time.


The Time Cube is extremely easy to use.

I use this 'time cube' to help me achieve all I have to do on my "To-Do" list.
5 minutes here. 15 minutes there.
It's AMAZING what I get done these days.

We humans seem to gravitate towards those who exude a positive vibe.
Don't know about you - but I'm pretty much done with whiners.
It just ISN'T the way to succeed.

Stick around with THESE people - and you'll taste success.

I can't agree more with Seth Godin's latest blog entitled FOUR WORDS.

Make big promises; overdeliver.

Hey, EBAY SELLERS! Want to raise those Detailed Seller Ratings (DSR)?
Make these four words your creed for ONE MONTH, and see if those DSR's won't skyrocket!

I absolutely LOVE Terapeak, an online marketing research tool.
It has made a BIG difference in my eBay sell-through rates and average selling price.


But I admit: it's really easy to get lost in this jungle called Research.
Once can enter to it with enthusiasm - but 4 hours later, you've cramped up because of Analysis Paralysis.
4 hours later - and you haven't listed a single thing on eBay, like you had planned.

Solutions:

1. Write down a TO-DO list and STICK to it!

2. Before embarking on research, set a time limit - and again, STICK TO IT!

3. Make your research COUNT for something - TODAY! Apply something - and SOON!

Just my two cents' worth.

You're a needle in one HUGE haystack on eBay.

You have TWO SECONDS to capture the buyer's attention.



TRY Google Picasa (FREE) and BlingIt! ($49.95)

Use either or BOTH of these great digital photo editors to:

1. draw attention to your listing
2. increase your sell-through rate
3. increase your average selling price!

Enjoy!
