So if you are like me and millions of others you are probably a bit strapped for cash these days.

Maybe you have be recently laid off or had your hours cut or maybe you have been unemployed for awhile  now.

What ever your situation I do know that we can all use some extra cash.

Well that is why I am writing this post about making money on ebay.

Now ebay for those of you who don’t know is an online auction site where you can buy used and new products and services.

Depending on what you want to sell on ebay the only thing you will need to make money on ebay is a digital camera, a bank account or a credit card.

Now in some cases you don’t even need a digital camera but you are going to need either a bank account or a credit card to make money on ebay.

But before you get all excited about making money  on ebay there are some very important things to consider before you take the plunge.

Like do you want to get serious and make it a full time job?

Yes folks there are thousands upon thousands of people who are doing this right now.

Wouldn’t that be nice to be able to sit back and make a living from the comfort of your own home!?

Well it can be done.

But just like anything in life there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it.

Doing things the wrong way on ebay can mean the difference between being one of millions of other sellers on ebay or becoming a powerseller.

If you are serious about making money on ebay being a powerseller is what you want to be.

Now being successful on ebay has many determinants like the products you are selling (this also includes the quality) ,your user name and the prices you are selling your items for to name a few.

There is a lot more to making money on ebay then just taking a picture of your product and listing it on ebay.

Since if you are foolish enough to even consider doing something like this then two things will happen.

A. You will not get one bid on your item because it is priced to high or

B. Your item will fly off the shelf due to its undervalued price tag.

Now do either of them sound like something you really want?

Since not selling something and selling something for far less than you could have gotten for it are not what you go on ebay to do.

So if you are serious about making some real money on ebay and want to know how it is done correctly

Selling on ebay

Viral videos.

What are they and why are they so important in today’s world?

Well in case you don’t know what viral videos are I am going to provide a quick explanation.

A viral video is a video that is passed around via the internet via word of mouth.

And of course the biggest home to videos is youtube.

So let us take a quick look why youtube is the home of the viral video.

Well to begin with the amount of traffic visiting youtube each and every day is roughly the population of the United States.

This of course does not mean that each and every person in the United States goes to youtube each and every day and watches a video.

But what it does mean is that youtube is one of the most visited sites on the internet.

So why would you be interested in making your youtube video viral?

Well depending on if you have some kind of talent (i.e. JB) seems to have done pretty well for himself.

I know I would be very happy if I was 17 years old and had a cool 50+  million dollars that I called my own.

But I do not want to mislead anyone here.

No matter if you love him or hate him the kid has talent.

But where does that leave the rest of us no talent people?

Well it leaves us in a place where we have to think of something original, funny or unique to get us those 10,000 + views.

Now I know for a fact that there are a lot of people out there that own their own business.

And like everyone else are struggling in these hard times.

So why not make a funny or unique video for your business and get 10′s of thousand of views.

You are bound to see an increase in sales.

That is of course as long as you have a quality product to sell.

Since if you get a bunch of interest suddenly in your business and you don’t have a quality product or service to back it up…. well those 10′s of thousands of views could actually do more harm than good.

So you have to make sure you can back up a good video with a good product.

Or maybe you have a cause that is very close to your heart.

And you have tried tirelessly to get people to view your videos but have come up empty handed?

The only people that have ever seen your videos are a handful of close friends and family.

Or maybe you just want to be the next youtube star.

What ever your reason to want to make your youtube video viral

There is a way to be able to get 10′s of thousands of people to view your youtube video.

It does not involve purchasing any kind of expensive software.

Nor does it require you to hire an expensive professional to do all of the work for you.

It can all be done by you.

From the comfort of your own home.

You don’t need to know  home to write html code.

All you need to do is follow the step by step plan.

To make your youtube video go viral

Is it just me or is the world going to hell in a hand basket?

Social media is getting out of control.

To hell with big brother.

What about google, facebook, twitter etc etc etc.

If you think big brother was scary look at the information people are voluntarily offering up to these companies.

Hey guess where I am right now.

You know what I am doing right now.

Look at me in my picture that I just posted.

I like…

I hate….

My friends are….

Are people naive or just down right stupid?

So even though big brother may have cameras on the street(they can see your face but they don’t know who you are) social media knows not only your name but where you are, your favorite color, food and any other personal information you are stupid enough to feed into the mouth of the tiger.

I don’t own a cell phone, I do use facebook and twitter  for business purposes only.

As far as the rest of social media.

Couldn’t be bothered wasting my time letting friends,family and once it hits the internet the world know that I am eating toast right now.

It appears that people are so wrapped up in their cell phones and gadgets they seem to have forgotten that they are trading off their own personal privacy for the newest toy?

And what most people don’t realize that once you put something on the internet it is there is some way shape or form for ever.

Just because you delete a post or picture from your account doesn’t mean a thing.

So my complaint is the world is losing its privacy and they are not even aware of it.

That is if you are stupid enough to share that kind of information with your friends(the world)

Email, texting, SMS what ever you want to call it, it is a fact of modern day life.

But with this convenience comes of course abuse.

When I say abuse I am not talking about spamming since that is an annoyance that we can all do with out but it comes with people becoming coward like.

Saying things that they would never say to someone to their face.

Spreading rumors, lies and generally hiding behind the luxury this technology affords us.

We are all aware that the transfer of information via these means is instantaneous. You send and someone on the other end regardless of where they are gets the message moments later.

So denial of not getting the message is something that is fruitless unless you happen to be in an area with ” no service” part of the world.

But there are few places left where that occurs so when someone sends you a message, text, sms it is pretty much guaranteed that the message has been received.

No matter how much you want to deny it, ignore it, the sender knows you have received the message.

Now I have heard people say oh I have been so busy I did not have time to respond back??

What? How long does it take to say ” I’m ok real busy right now will email later” or something to that nature.

Or even “busy”.

Now if you do not have enough time in your day to send a short message with 4 characters in it. I strongly suggest that you go see a doctor.

Since you will work yourself to death.

But really folks there is no one that does not have a few seconds. Yes folks a few seconds is all that it takes to respond back to that person.

Look at it this way. May be the person sending the text, sms, or email is very busy also but they found the time to send you the message.

So bottom line here folks. If someone is thoughtful enough to send you a text take the few moments to acknowledge the receipt of it.

Since they know you have received it and your denial or ignorance of it’s receipt does not sit well with the person sending it. Just imagine how you feel when the role is reversed.

The sky is falling the sky is falling. Run for your lives.

I was rather disgusted  when I went to Japan earlier in the year for business and the Japanese government ( in typical fashion I might add) had worked up the Japanese people like hitting a bee hive repeatedly with a baseball bat about the “Swine Flu.”

Upon landing in Tokyo (the pitiful excuse for a  haz mat) suited people boarded the plane and wandered around the flight deck with a heat sensing camera. In a feeble attempt to prevent the “Swine Flu” from permeating the island.

All I did was laugh about it since I thought that the Western world was a little more intelligent than this relying on the facts of the situation rather than being herded up like cattle to the slaughter by the pied piper aka the government.

But rest assured the Western hemisphere soon fell into the same state of over panic and hype all brought on by a combination of the government and the media.

People getting into physical confrontations while waiting in what looks like cheese lines from the great depression.

The governments in North America are not doing much to help the whole situation. Claiming everyone should be vaccinated and yet not having enough vaccine?

The media is more to blame due to the fact of the Swine Flu death report that is broadcast 24 hours a day.

What the media is neglecting to inform the ill informed public is that the statistics  for the seasonal flu are alarmingly higher than any deaths caused by the ” Swine Flu”

So people there is a real easy solution that each and everyone of us can do to help prevent the spread of this thing.

If you are coughing or sneezing cover your mouth. This is just common manners but it appears like so many people in the world today are completely unaware of this simple rule.

Cover your mouth and don’t spread your germs.  There is nothing worse then seeing people out and about coughing and sneezing blatantly into the air without any consideration for those around them.

And don’t cough or sneeze into your hand. Why? Well right after you cough or sneeze into your hand you go and touch door handles, money, etc etc which thousands of other people will come in contact with.

Which spreads the virus. So I am sure some of you out there probably don’t even know what a handkerchief is  well they should come back into style asap..

You remember the pieces of cloth old men usually carry around with them to blow their noses or to sneeze into.

And there is no need to go and purchase one. Since a old bandanna does the trick just as well.

Wash your hands!! Frequently. I would personally suggest buying some hand sanitizing soap that you can carry around on your person.

And wash your hands with it several times a day.

Don’t touch your eyes or nose with your bare hands. Because bottom line folks the tips or your fingers are disgustingly dirty. You would not even want to know how dirty they are.

And finally have common courtesy for your fellow man. If you are sick, coughing and sneezing stay at home.

Don’t get on public transit infecting all of those around you then go into work and do the same.

If we all would learn some manners and wash our hands regularly and keep our fingers away from our faces H1N1 can be beat.

And for those of you that are still afraid of the H1N1 follow directions!!

If they say that such and such a group can be vaccinated on such and such a day don’t be an idiot and go there and complain when you are turned away.

So go out and enjoy life. And be considerate to your fellow man if this was done this flu would have never gone into the pandemic stage.

Who is to blame for all of that things that have went wrong in your life?

Were you a victim of circumstance? Bad upbringing? Bad environment?

Well if you look around the world and seek others that have been through what you have and have become successful I think you might find the answer.

Take a hard look in the mirror. And think to yourself. Why is my life the way it is? Why am I here right now? What went wrong? And most importantly what can I do to change it.

Since no matter how hard you cry and how much you complain about it the only one that can fix it is you.

Since regardless of what you might think and feel the truth is that you are where you are because of one person. You.

Of course you can say well I was… Or it was… or any of the countless excuses that come to mind.

But bottom line everything is a result of you. Be it your laziness your lack of motivation, your dependencies or addictions.

You can say well I was forced to…. Or I had no other choice to …..

This may well indeed be a fact but after you are forced to do something once you have the choice of leaving the situation or staying. No matter what it is.

There is always another way. Always

Ah old age. The golden years. The time in your life when you can sit back and relax with all of the money you have hopefully saved.

But really folks what choice do you have? It is not like you are going to start running marathons, take break dance classes or join the circus now is it?

Life is for the young. Death is for the old.

Once you reach a certain point in your life you start to reflect back on the why didn’t I do… Or I should have done….

You only have one shot at life. And realistically it is not like you have your full life to do those things. Most things you have to wait until you are an adult to be able to do them.

So take off 18 years. If you are fortunate/unfortunate to live until 80  80-18= 62

I am going to be generous here and say that 60 is the cut off time. For most it is considerably earlier and for the lucky it is later.

So you are left with 62 years to be able to do things.

62-20= 44

20 is the years from 60-80.

Now I don’t want anyone to get their panties in a knot here. It is a fact folks plain and simple. You can not do the same things with the same amount of vigor as you could when you were 30 when you are 70.

Yes you may be able to do them. But are you really doing them?

People will clap and applaud you for doing it at your age. But lets get real here folks.

We all know that they are applauding that you can do it at your age. Not that you are doing it well.

So bottom line take risks, make mistakes live your life when you are young and full of vigor.

To save all of your money so that you can be happy when you are riding around on an electric scooter and using a cane is not my idea of living.

Take advantage of your health. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Live for today.
