From Trash to Cash: the Dribbling never ends

mambury

Cagne - listings are free for private listings for 99p and under..... word of warning, I know you are selling off your own stuff at the moment but when you buy stuff in to sell on you need to reg as a business on ebay. They are getting hotter about it at the moment, just ask Mrs Money!

Welcome back Amber - good time???

Busy day today, little sis is coming over for the day, usual swimming lesson etc so I will see you all this evening for a bit..... remember ...... last debate tonight!!!

laters...

Hi Cagne, Hi mambury.
Cagne when you are networking jsut remember that part of what you are there for is to learn. so try not to focus and worry too much on what you are doing but listen and be aware of whatthe person accross from you is doing and reflect on how it works or doesn't work in engaging you. then you can use all these mini experiences to refine your own approach. you'll know more by the end of the hour than you did at the beginning.
Remember its a training and you are there to learn and not to be a finished product.
maybe you could look at it as research for a future blog post on networking even if you never write it.

Morning,
Nixi – Do not kid yourself, I have had some freakish luck and flukes tbh. The marketing kind of exceeded my expectations. And I definitely still need you for the other stuff that we discussed.

NLID – the coding part is cool with me. What I will do is give you the site to clean up after I have done the base build for Nixi as some of my CSS can be a bit clumsy. So, I will do the bulk and you just do the other stuff for Nixi that you mentioned before. Money M’s site is cool to – it is just doing the transfer over to wordpress and I am really comfortable doing that so no worries on that front.

Wayne – Hello’s, and good news about the shirts! Well, done.

Cagne – digital leftovers please the stir fry sounds yummy! (Dilli now sees that there is none spare boo!) Good luck with the networking today. Joprah’s advice has nailed it.

Amber – Welcome back and sorry that I missed you ***sad face***

Just got to focus today as I have plenty to be getting on with.

My to do list is –
Commitments, I need to turn some of that red green so I am going to review it now
Update the blog
Continue designing my new range
Catch up on emails
Nixi site – have a few strong ideas so this should be quite straight forward
Mabel’s site
Backlinking letters to other sites

for Amber, Joeygrey, cagne and probably others I have been thinking about using a site called squidoo I don't know if you've heard of it. you basically create webpages a bit like extralong blog posts on any topic you fancy. each one is called a lens and you can create as many as you want on as many related or not related topics.There are ads on them but you can add affiliates to them if you want too etc.there are even specific modules for ebay sellers etc. you can link to your blog and other resources too.
anyway the revenue across the whole site from the ads they place is divvied up. they keep 50% and the rest is divided between the lenses dependent on ranking and other factors.
The more pages you have and keep updated the more you earn even if people don't click on ads on your lens .
any affiliate revenue comes directly to you but with some companies like amazon they have their own module for you to use and though you get that revnue direct and not shared with all lenses it is split with squidoo.
The idea is that you make good quality lenses and if you make several you start to get an income. can take a while to get going but seems viable.
was thinking Amber could do a variety of lenses about tarot reading and related topics and as you love writing probably plenty others too.
Joeygrey might be able to do some on cat fostering and catty facts etc.
cagne could do ebay one and add itto his arsenal of stuff and dieting and his journeyof learning about marketing etc. anyway here is a link to an article by a stay at home mum who is doing well. however I think most people earn smaller amounts than she does I think it is a good explanation of how it works.
The article is itself a lens too.
I have just joined but not started a lens yet as planning and exploring.
I think but haven't looked at how it works yet that there is a small amount you can get for referring people too but I think it is once the person you have referred reaches a target income lik $15 or $20.
oh yes in case any guides looking. I was not signed into the site when I generated the link so it is not linked to me in any way and is not a referal link.

also if anyone has looked at squidoo before and ruled it out I'd be glad to hear about the whys and wherefores.

jo70mo

my plan for today.
go to home ed group with kids,
start planning how I could create a range of squidoo lenses on topics close to my heart
start menu planning for may
possible new blog post but depends how late back DH is from work. its a busy time of year as students need to have coursework completed and many are stayinglate to try and get it done.
Have another cup of tea.

Morning - mega tired, was up to midnight watching Avatar last night . Good film.

Need to some tidying today. Then I'm going to be brutal going through my clothes in a bid to get some more on eBay.

Morning everyone!

Blimey, you lot are up early! Usually just me and Paula about at that time!

Jo - Squidoo looks good, sure if you can find a good topic then it would be well worth the effort, and with everything that you do, plus your amazing blog, sure you will do well. Considering signing up and giving it a go, but not sure where to start, seems like a good way into blogs, as I think they are too much for those that know what they arte doing, or lead interesting lifes, I am neither but this looks like a good place to start. If you want to PM me the referral link, I will try my best to earn enough to warrant a bonus for you!

Going to be busy today, got to pack, clean out the fridge, sort wages and bills (its that time of the week again), get train tickets to London and get some more funny money as I am now panicing we won't have enough. Neither of us have credit cards and this is the first time I have had to organise anything on my own. Haven't been away for 7 years and never been on my own. I have a tendancy to panic waaaayyyyy to much over silly things!

Toots- where are you???? Miss you xx

moneymabel

Find some sort of packaging paper for new website products.
Housework....boooooo :-(

MummyandPaige

Morning Mabel! Oh, does this mean you have a new EBay page for merkin central? Good luck with the todo list! Woohoo on the local paper! Ummm, guess with the packing, its going to be something that is easy and not to expensive to pack up and send. Check out this ones shop http://shop.ebay.co.uk/paulasmodernshop/m.html?_fln=1&_ipg=&_trksid=p3911.c0.m283&_rdc=1 her completed listing and what she has for sale. Maybe a few ideas for other things for your blue site?
