Keep Track of your Inventory

 Yup it’s me again and this time I want to talk about something that a lot of people do on sites like EBay.

I ordered some products from a gentlemen, paid for them, and then waited for them to ship. To my surpise and a few days later, I get this nice little email saying that my money has been refunded and that the person ran out of stock.

Well, what do you know. Another wannabe money maker hasn’t figured out how to actually manage an online store. Anyways, I am going to give you a tip that I hope you will take into consideration the next time that you put merchandise in your online store.

A lot of people will take photos off of other sites and place them on EBay at a higher price and then when someone orders the merchandise they simply order from the website and then when it arrives they simply ship it to the customer. I am not going to lie, I have done this before but I do it a bit differently so that I don’t run into any problems like the guy up above did.

Here is what I do:

        When I find things on the internet at a cheap price, I order the product right then. I don’t wait till someone orders it from me, I simply just put in the order and wait for it to arrive this way if I have problems with the shipment I can take care of it and not have to worry about delaying my customers orders.
      
         After it arrives and I view the merchandise, I then take photos of it (really nice photos)  and I place it on sites like EBay and my chosen price and I enter how many items I have in inventory. This way I never run into problems of me not having the product for the customer when they have already ordered it.

Please don’t be that guy who makes me wait for a product just to find out that you don’t actually have the product on hand. Oh, and by the way, when you do this on sites like EBay, they frown upon it and your seller rating will go down so make sure that you actually have the product before listing it.

What are some things that you hate that has happened to you on sites like EBay?

The Difference Between Writing a Blog Post and an Article

 I recently got asked if I would allow an individual to  write an article  for my blog. I assume that what they meant was, could they write a blog post. I also assume that this individual did not know the difference between a blog post and an article. Conversational Language of a Blog Post Conversational language on a blog post is more like you are talking to a close friend. It is like you are having a conversation with an individual that you have known for years. Blog post do not have to be formal at all. Blog post are supposed to invite the readers in and create conversation. Blog post also tend to have the writer’s opinion more than an article does. This does not mean that a blog post is not based on facts. Blog post are editorial pieces at best. Conversational Language of an Article Articles are meant to be informative, leaving false information completely out, and the opinion of the writer at a minimal. Articles are normally formal and more objective. Most articles d...

Aids has become one of the most widely known STD's in the world. Making yourself aware of Aids will help you to better understand ways that you can take prevention measures to refrain from transmitting it or passing it onto someone else.  HIV is the virus that causes Aids.

Earning with Bubblews

I have heard a lot of bad things about  Bubblews . I use to  love to write  for them and I still do every now and again. One review that I had seen was from a dear friend who had gotten kicked off of their site for unknown reasons, another review was from another friend who said that the pay system was really messed up but she still got paid, it just took longer than they state. Well, I have been writing for them for a while now. I don’t write there frequently though. You are allowed to post ten articles or post a day. I don’t take full advantage of this though; I am lucky if I post one a week. Anyways, this is my current pay scale that I have. I need to reach $50 before I can withdraw this into my PayPal account and right now I am at $46. I will keep you updated on my progress with them. Please let me know how your experience has been so far.
