This is all new to me!

I'm a 54 yr old woman with virtually no computer training other than what I have taught myself over the last 8 years. And that is how old this computer is! So, mind you, I'm not all that great at marketing online yet, and I have only been an ebay seller over the last 2 years.

Considering the options "out there" as a new way of evaluating my progress, has just occurred to me, although ebay has done a wonderful job of encouraging me to widen my options lately.

I have just registered with several other selling venues, although I only listed one thing in one online store for a practice session. There will be more..eventually. And I will invite you here to my lens to see the progress (or lack of), as I stumble upon my own success, motivation, and yes, that word "failure" which can translate into "learning experience".
So hop on the bandwagon, because I know I'm not alone in this endeavor! I wish all my buds on yardsalequeen and ebay all the luck in the world in venturing out into the world of online business that is "other than" ebay!

Oh Ok, so what kind of title should I pick? I'm confused! 

Is this an exercise in writing modules?

I am not a bad writer, as my Nurse Manager has told me, "The State Surveyers were here, and they commended our record keeping as being some of the best they have ever seen. Well, considering that I'm an R.N. and CYA is a way of life in this profession, I should hope so! And me being the obsessed person that I am when it comes to doing the best I can at whatever I do, AND considering the fact that as a part timer I do 75%-90% of the text documentation I take it as a compliment!

Another Module? Just sign my guestbook and get on with it!LOL! 

This is an empty guestbook, PLEEEEASE sign it so I don't feel slighted!

The guestbook of champions has just arrived!(ok ok so it's not even close!)

in reply to BearEssentials Thank you! I spend more time doing this than I do "listing"! LOL! In fact, I have not listed anything in a whole year! I have no excuses except that I get scared in new unfamiliar territory, having to learn a whole new set of listing skills in a place other than ebay! That's another lame excuse too..I'm just a lazy crybaby!LOL!!! Don't worry, I'll kick myself into doing it very soon!I will find your squid lenses and visit them! Lynne
