Finding Auction Sites

Jun 29th, 2008 | By Val | Category: Business Ideas, General Biz

I know I have a lot of readers on here and I’d love to get some answers. I do not want to go with ebay, but they are the best option for traffic of course. I’ve tried to research but that just brings up so many garbage sites with no auctions on them that people have started and never followed through with.

If you have a place you like to use for auctions besides ebay, please post to me. I’ve been told I need to just start my own, but I know it will take a good amount of marketing to get the traffic that brings good sales to the buyers. We’ll see, it may happen.



Clients vacations, arghhh

I can work on controlling how much money I am losing when I go on vacation. But being able to calculate when my clients go on sale is another thing. Between all of our schedules that is why the summer is economically difficult for me offline.

I have one client that just got back from Outer Banks and we are supposed to be signing up for more sessions here soon. Boy I hope so! I need every one I can get for the next 2 months.



Too many cables

Jun 19th, 2008 | By Val | Category: General Biz

I’m so tired of cleaning my desk, office space and extra bedroom and finding extra CAT5e cables everywhere. My internet wasn’t working that great for the first few months of the year and when the tech got here they said our dsl modem was ancient for one thing. lol No surprise to me, why would anyone tell me that before I have problems?



Organize your Cables

I don’t know about you, but my computer and internet cables are a mess. Especially now that I am on my laptop and not on the PC often. I don’t tend to see my desk because the kids are at it.

But we all need to pay attention and crawl down with all our electronics and vacuum them. The dust getting into the modem, computer and then sticking to all the HDMI cables is nasty and so bad for the computer.

Extend the life of your electronics and vacuum often. While you are at it, back up your data and purchase some cable organizers so they are less likely to attract the dust bunnies.
