Multiple Streams
Everywhere you go on the internet looking for ways to make some money, you read about "multiple streams." I suppose it makes sense, but the problem is that one only has so many hours in a day and can only keep after so many streams. Well, it doesn't take too much to think that we can probably handle two or three streams before we are overwhelmed.
Proejct PayDay
So, with that in mind, I've added a link on the right for Project PayDay. I get points if you sign up through that link, so please DO IT.
This is a different sort of thing where you are not selling anything, you just have to be willing to complete those free offers that you have probably seen all over the place. But in this instance, you are doing them for someone who is paying you to do them. And after a while, you can set yourself up to have others do them for you as well. You scatach my back, I'll scratch yours.
eBay
Meanwhile, eBay is taking a nose dive from where it was. I had gotten up to Power Seller with over 100 items a month, but will probably lose that soon. I did do a study of what had sold versus what had not and found that some categories just were not contributing, so I've spent some time weeding those out and the total listings are now down to about 2900. The fees were eating up all the profits, and for an ad that was not going to sell, there didn't seem any point to keep listing it. Interestingly, alcohol and tobacco were two non-selling categories which I had had some moral conflict about anyway, so I'm taking most of those down, unless there is some good reason to leave it up. Some of the WWII cigarette ads with troops in them, for instance.
I've been down with bronichitis for the last week or so ad haven't done much of anything. It wasn't too bad unless I tried to breathe and then things just went to pieces. Getting a bit better now. Good thing I'm not in China, from what I hear about the air pollution over there.
Have fun with the widget below. It is a real live listing of what is in my store. It's fun. Try it.
Have a good day.
