Write You - eBay Trading - Three Pivotal Points To Consider
When someone owes your small business money, you certainly feel like a victim. But did you know that if you aren't careful, you could break the law by trying to get the money back?How to Break a Federal Debt Collection LawYou have a small business, and your bills are coming due soon. You could easily pay those bills if a few thousands dollars of overdue invoices were paid. It's time to give your clients a few friendly reminders:1] You call up the biggest debtor at his home number. The debtor's girlfriend answers and you leave the message that you were just calling to remind her husband about the invoi
The other route is via niche marketing. Your sales window may be much smaller but, if you have identified your market properly, that market can be a good one. With less inventory to tie up cash your business can operate on a much leaner model, helping to maximise profit and taking less time in administ
Do you inspire your staff?My experience tells me that a very small percentage of managers, presidents, and supervisors truly inspire their staff. They might build solid teams, set clear expectations and reach most of their goals, but they fail to inspire their people to reach and become better.But, if you’re building effective teams and getting adequate results, does inspiration really matter that much?The answer depends on what you want out of your organization. If you are satisfied with you current results and don’t mind replacing your best people every few years, I would put down this article and
Market choice: Most casual eBay sellers don't have a target market as such - they simply sell to anyone who might buy. To be fair, their marketplace is a vast one and the likelihood is great that someone, somewhere, will want what they are selling. This was the original eBay idea - a vast marketplace of potential buyers with something for everyone.
However, times change and, if you want to make a business out of eBay, a way has to be found of sustaining a viable sales level. This is essential if you want to a) make enough money to be worth the effort and b) climb the eBay pile to be recognised as a serious player. There are two main ways of doing this:
First, simply sell more. If you are an 'emporium' type seller - that is, a non-specialised merchant who sells a wide variety of goods - this is, up to a point, easy. You just take on more sales lines to increase your selling chances. The downside to this is that more and more time is spent sourcing, cataloguing and listing - not to mention money ties up in your widening range of inventory.

Success in business is a rare thing. Most businesses fail today, not because they were built upon bad ideas, but because most business owners do not focus on what truly makes the difference between success and failure.There is one skill, above and beyond any other skill, that is critical to your success in business. If you do not learn to adapt this skill, your business idea will probably either fail or not reach your intended level of success like ninety-eight percent of all start up businesses in the world today.It does not matter whether you are running a restaurant, a retail store, an Internet business,

Most people initially balk at the suggestion that you can earn a full-time income from the internet, especially if the business opportunities from home involve short work-hours and are legal. But in fact, there are a great number of people running their own internet home businesses that are not only financially supporting themselves, but are earning more money than they know what to do with!This article will attempt to dispel some of the common myths associated with business opportunities from home. Generating significant amounts of cash may require a lot of work, but it is actually quite simple once you get the ha

Business Owners tend to identify themselves with their business. They show pride in the name, the function and the growth of their business. After all, it’s their ‘baby’. But there are three important reasons why your business and you should not be so closely identified: (1) Protection, (2) Privacy and (3) Capital Growth.Protection is Most Important.Millions of business owners make a splash about letting the world know that they and the business are essentially ‘one and the same’. This is often seen in the number of ‘Sole Proprietors’ out there who set up shop wit

160 years ago, the newly invented electric telegraph carried the first news message. The message zipped 40 miles in a flash over wires from Baltimore to Washington, D.C.The public was dazzled -- except Henry David Thoreau. He wrote: "We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate."Today, we live in a Golden Age of communication. We have the Internet. We have faxes. We have e-mails. We have streaming video. We have on-line audio. We have RSS feeds. We have logs and blogs.Yet today Thoreau is as

With less inventory to tie up cash your business can operate on a much leaner model, helping to maximise profit and taking less time in administrative tasks. My choice would always to go with a niche market.
Maximising exposure: It's an old business truism that you can have the best product in the world but, if no-one knows about it your business will fold. An eBay business is no different. Okay, your auction lots are in front of the eBay world and, if targeted correctly, will probably sell. However, selling purely via auction brings its own problems, not the least of which is the difficulty in projecting profit and loss with its attendant cash flow issues.
It might be wise, therefore, to consider how to best expose your business to the wider world! One way is to write articles like this one. Although they must not be adverts for your business, they can - and should - contain useful information for readers that can generate interest in what you do. That of course leads us on to the next way to get noticed:
A website. Web hosting and domain names are these days so inexpensive in comparison to ten years ago as to be almost laughable. If you're paying more than forty pounds/eighty dollars a year for web hosting you're paying too much! It's so easy too to set up a basic selling website compared to those distant days of the mid-nineties that anyone can do it (even me!). But here's the kicker: get yourse
