Avogirly's thread to keep her going.....

  • Well, I've made my first selling on Amazon. Really pleased, although I only get £2.00, but it's a start.

    However, I've just checked my feedback from the past and someone has given me 1 out of 5. I'm really upset, because she's saying that the box was damaged and the DVD wasn't new. This was not true! But the sale was yonks ago so I've not responded to her.

    Will this really affect my sales, before that I had 100%?

  • I've now sold four books on Amazon, which I am really pleased about. I think the total comes to about £11 which is good. So my negative feedback doesn't seem to affect the sales, which I'm relieved about.

    I have some wages from my second job to come, £300 and then another £160 for work next week. This should really begin to make an indent on my total. However, I have got to be really disciplined to make sure that I pay by debt off with this money and don't leave it sitting in my current account to get wittled away - which I have dome in the past.

    I'm really beginning to get motivated with this debt journey, and I know it's going to be long and hard, but I'm determined to get there.

    I have cancelled my night out with my friends, I did it by text and no one has replied to me, so I'm a bit upset about that. But, hopefully they will understand. I said that I couldn't make it because my dog was poorly, and needed looking after....well he will need looking after if I cannot afford to feed him!!!! That might of happened if I hadn't stopped spending when I did.

    I've done my daily clicks and also updated my spreadsheet, oh, and been on the daily threads! So pretty good today!!!!

  • Well I haven't written on this for a few days, as I've been really busy working on two jobs.

    I have sold another DVD on Amazon, which I posted yesterday, so I can add that to my total.

    I have not had the chance to put the stuff on ebay, so will aim to do that on Sunday, once I've finished my extra work this week.

    I'm feeling really positive today and looking forward to getting paid at the end of the week, as I just can't wait to work out my new total!

    I also am doing well on NSD's, however, I spent 90p last night. That's a one off and I'm going to get even tougher on myself!

    I'm also looking forward to tomorrow as the whole family is going to see Joseph in London tomorrow.

    Well I haven't written on this for a while and I know I said that I would write everyday. However, I have been so busy with both jobs that I haven't had a moment to spare.

    I'm really excited today because I have just worked out my new debt total of £20909.56, meaning I have paid off a total of £1175.80 during September.

    I have not received all the money yet as I'm waiting to be paid, and this is the hard bit. Once the money comes in I have to pay it straight off my CC and not leave it in my current account, tempting me to buy things with it!

    I'm dissapointed because I have still not ebayed my stuff yet, as not had the time to list everything. I will try to do so this week, but work is so manic and it takes me a while to list the stuff.

    My aim during October is to pay off more than I did in September! So here goes.....!

  • avo ~ regarding ebay have you thought about downloading turbo lister? (free from ebay) basically its a program that lets you produce a template, you can then use that to create more and more listing, they then sit in this program for years if you wanted ready for you to upload/list when you are ready :D this is also good to bulk list on a cheap listing day :)
