Drop Ship Stuff from Amazon

It’s no secret Amazon.com has one of the largest selection of merchandise that can be ordered online. They also have at times some unique items that are not found anywhere else. If you could turn some of this stuff into money you would be on to something.

Well there is a way to start making money from stuff you find on Amazon.com and it very simple to get started.

If you already have an Amazon.com account you’re on your way. The next step is to find stuff you want to resell and drop ship or that you can order and sell in the local Craigslist for to people in your area.

How it works is simple you find a product on Amazon and you list it for a profit for example on eBay.

When you get an order from someone on eBay you place an order on Amazon and have it shipped to the buyer. You want to make sure that you are going to make enough money to cover selling fees and that there is a little skin in the game.

The other option is to buy something cool and unique that is not easily found in your area.

List it on the local classified site and see if it sells. If you do not want to order before getting peoples interest you can list and when you get a buy or buyers order it and tell the person you will only be able to meet with them in a few days. This will give a chance to order the product hopefully with Amazon Prime and get it just in time for your customer to meet you in a few days.

Quick and easy lots of money to be made with this method. Give it a try leave a comment if it works for you.

How to Use an Android or Apple iPad Tablet for Business Productivity

The preferred method for creating content is still a PC or a Mac. These operating systems and their input method have made creating content extremely simple. The amount of software on the traditional computer system makes it possible to get most task completed without much hassle. The PC and Mac have an upper hand when it comes to competing against tablets in that everything just works.

When I try to use an iPad to create a blog post I find it a very difficult task. The iOS does not play nicely when trying to move documents. It's a real pain to transfer files to my PC to post or edit. The lack of a memory card or for service like Dropbox to sync documents makes it a challenge that I don't want to deal with. As for the actual creation of content it was easy to install the Pages app from Apple and create Word documents. The problem was getting these documents to my blog or to the PC as it requires the iPad to be connected to USB and synced with iTunes. The fine people at Apple need to make it easy to get documents to your main computer without having to connect through iTunes. If you need something lite to take on a trip then an iPad is great. The ability to create documents is a plus, but there are many challenges trying to get anything productive done on an iPad. The cut and paste feature takes a little getting used to and multitasking is still a work in progress. If you need to create content you might be better off with a cheap netbook.

Well what about the Android tablets?

It seems that transferring documents with Android was much easier then on the iPad. The Dropbox service worked and I was able to send my files online to retrieve on my PC.  The Android tablet also had a removable memory card which made it easy to remove and insert on a computer that I did not have Dropbox installed on.

If you need to create documents there are many office suites that are up to the challenge. You can create Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. The nice thing is that most Office Suites cost between $10 and $20 for very feature rich products that work very well.

The cut and paste feature seemed to work a little better on Android then on the iPad. If you need a lite pad that fits in your backpack an Android tablet can meet the fine line between netbook and PC. The Asus eee Transformer pad can even dock with a keyboard that makes it look like a netbook on steroids.

If I were to rely on just a tablet to get my work done I would go for an Android tablet and this is just because the syncing of documents was a lot better and I was not tied into using a software package to manage my documents.

As new updates are added to the tablet operating systems the experience will get better, but for those who need to get some work done it's better to stick to a netbook or laptop. If you have the spare cash just use the tablet for day trips or for those times you want to travel lite.

If you plan on tying for any great amount of time buy a keyboard. After a short time you will hate the experience of typing on a glass screen. it works for short documents and some users have created documents with thousands of words just typing on the screen. Sorry to say it was not for me I need a real keyboard for typing and if I am doing a lot of cut and paste I need a mouse. The Android tablet I bought supported a USB mouse, but I could not get a mouse to work on the iPad.

The tablet does fit a void and more people will be using them on a regular basis. As more manufactures bring products to market some of the issues I had will be corrected. In the next few months there will be four major operating systems for tablets. With iOS and Android leading the way, but HP's WebOS seems like a great productivity operating system which might challenge Apple's iPad. The Blackberry Playbook also looks like it can fill the void for a productivity tablet with RIM's business connection. There will also be a day that Mictrosoft will introduce a tablet to market that doesn't suck. If Microsoft introduces a tablet with its phone OS then they can take market share away from the competition.

If you need a tablet then buy one you will still be able to get a lot of stuff done and they are great for content consumption. If you do not need a tablet at this very moment then wait and see what updates will be coming out. The market is still young and there will be much improvement over the next few years.

The 9 to 5 Job is Dead

There are those who still get up each morning to go somewhere that they hate. It could be the money and their sense of responsibility, why else would someone go where they hate being. There were many years in my life that I spent going to a job I hated with all my heart. 

The bills kept me trapped. Without the job how would I earn a living. The fear of having to live on the street imagine the horror if being left homeless if I did not got to work everyday. On the other hand what good is life if you are stuck spending more then half of it making a living instead of living. As I did my research for options it became clear that I could make a living, but on my own terms. The amount of technology has changed the way money is earned. If you can write an email or share an idea with others you can make a living. Thousands of people each day read content I create. This content is given away free to anyone who wants to learn. There are many ways I can monetize the information, but the most important thing I can do is help others. The karma you get back is never ending when you do things for the benefit of others.

At my last job I did things to benefit the company. They paid a salary, but never shared the profits sometimes there was bonus paid.

When you do things for yourself all the profit is yours. Have you ever thought if you could market your skills to clients without having to work 9 to 5. In this day and age you can easily find clients who will pay you for projects instead of hours. This will free you from the cubical life. At this moment I am creating this article for you in a park. The sun is shining and with just my smartphone I am able to create something that thousands of people can read an be inspired by with just a small bit of effort. The freedom of not being tied down by job let's me pursue things I want to do.

Now you might be asking how do I make money without a job? It's simple make a list of skills you have. Then I want you to go over to a site like Elance and start finding jobs that you have skills to bid on. The Elance site is one of many that connects freelance workers with clients. Once you find a job match and get the project you can work from anywhere in the world.

There is no limit if how much money you can make. A few years ago I created content for a web site while waiting to go up the Eiffel tower. 

When was the last time you made money standing in a line? Everyday people like me are enjoying life while living.

There are many methods of making money online. There are also many scams when dealing with people over the Internet be cautious. Once you find your a-ha moment take action and start moving towards the life you want.

If you feel that you might not be ready to try working for yourself full time then try it on your days off or after work. The moment you start working towards your goal of not living the 9 to 5 lifestyle you start to appreciate all the little things you are missing out on. Just as I was writing the last line a beautiful butterfly lands on my hand as I was typing on my smartphone. The amount of years I spent at a job and never did a butterfly land on my hand and inspired me the way this one did.

Apple TV 2 Now with MLB.TV

If you have the new Apple TV 2 the most recent update brings an MLB.TV app. This was a nice addition for those who enjoy sports as it brings live games to the Apple TV. If this is a sign of things to come then the NHL and the NBA can not be far behind.

The MLB.TV app does require a paid subscription to watch live games, but it seems that you can access scores and stats for free. The premium MLB.TV package costs $119.99 and the regular package costs $99.99 if you miss live sports or baseball from cord cutting then this is a great solution. The price of the MLB.TV is still way less then paying for cable and the quality of the service has had great reviews on all devices that the service is available on.

How to Start an Online Business

There are a few things to consider when planning an online business. Will you be selling your own product or service or would you prefer to sell other peoples products. If you have a supplier for inventory then you can create an ecommerce store. It’s not that difficult to start selling online as there are many services that can get you started quickly and a very low cost. If you want to sell stuff you have around the house then you can use eBay or Craigslist. You can also use eBay to sell products you get from a supplier, but you will need to make sure the item can be priced competitive as there are many sellers on eBay that might undercut your price. The best items to sell on eBay are one of a kind items that will draw many bids and be desired by collectors. If you have the ability to find unique items that can fetch bids on eBay you can make a good deal of money selling used goods online. There is also less risk by using a site like eBay to sell you have no major costs to get started and you will reach millions of buyers all over the world.

If selling things online and shipping is not for you, then sell digital goods. If you sell digital goods you can sell a never ending supply and it cost nothing other than your time to create the digital product. There are many people make a great living from selling digital eBooks. If you have an Internet in a topic then it is very easy to setup an eBook and sell it online. There are many services that will market your product and collect payments taking only a small percentage of the sale.

The Internet has made ecommerce simple and affordable for all. In a future post I will provide a case study of an online business I created last year.

Video Marketing Your Online Business

We have all seen a viral video that helps create buzz for a business. The best part about viral marketing is that it costs very little and can get amazing results. If you have an online business you can generate more page views by coming up with a short video that entertain.

We have seen many large corporation use viral marketing and it done wonders for some brands. There is no reason that a small business can’t do the same. All you need is a YouTube account and a pocket video camera or even the video on your phone and you are ready to make a viral video. The cost is so low to get started all you need is a good idea. Once you work out an idea you need to match your video content to what product or service you are trying to market.

When I create a viral video I like to brain storm and come up with a video that is going to make viewers want to visit the web site to watch either another video or learn more about  the product. A viral video need to entertain and be creative. You need to make people laugh or talk about the video even promote it to their friends and family. If can get your video to the level that people are talking about it and telling others about it then you have done your job right. With video software costing less than $100 or the free iMovie software on the Mac that is all you need to get the job done. Start playing around with ideas and get those videos out there.

Is eBay Dead?

A few years ago eBay was a great way to sell your unwanted stuff. As eBay grew so did the number of buyer and sellers. It was a gold mine for those who wanted a quick way to make money online. If you could find enough items that would sell for a profit you could make some serious cash. As more sellers entered the market margins got thin and eBay and Paypal fees started to cut into profits. The number of sellers from China also grew and created a problem for sellers who were buying items for resale on eBay as now they had to compete with their own suppliers. An example would be of a popular headphone I was selling on eBay at one point I was making on average $15 profit per sale. Once sellers from China started selling the same item my sales dried up. They were selling the same item for less then $5.00 and charging very low shipping. How could I compete with these sellers. The secret for sellers with no control on common items is to move away from that business model. If you want to make more money on eBay then you need to expand into niche items. If you can find items that are hard to find online you might have a hit with people who really want that item and are willing to pay. There was a story I read in an eBay related magazine about I guy how came across a warehouse full of old car mats for autos from the late 70's early 80's. This unique find turned into a million dollar business for this entrepreneur. If you look around I am sure you will find items that can be sold on eBay for a good profit, but stay away from mass produced items which you can not control the price.

Fiverrr.com Review Making Money $5.00 At a Time

A few weeks ago I discovered a new site for making money online. This site is called Fiverrr and allows users to do little jobs for $5.00 very simple and easy to get started. The site has a great design and looks a little like Twitter. When you first visit you will notice on the front page all the people willing to do a job for $5.00 with everything from doing a logo to holing a sign with your name outside the White House. This is a very cool site and making $5.00 at a time might not seem like much, but it can add up. If you have any digital skills then this site is a great way to gain new customers. Most tasks listed on the site can be created in very little time. If you plan on listing your skills on the site then you will get paid through Paypal, they should have other methods of payment as some users do not want to deal with Paypal. If you want to buy a service then you can use a credit card to make payment. This site was an idea waiting to happen and I find it amazing. In the past I have used sites like elance to get some content written for one of my web sites, but it did cost me $60.00 if I used Fiverrr I would have spent less and had a variety or writers working on my content. When I chose Fiverrr to write a review I knew this site would be of value to anyone who wants to make money online. The more you can outsource at reasonable cost, the more you can get done and have more time. If you are working on building a business online then outsourcing is a way to get more done. It has helped with my business and freed up my time to work on more important tasks that help pay the bills.

The iPad As a Laptop Replacement

The Apple iPad has been getting many great reviews and many of us want one to replace a bulky laptop. The questions many readers ask is if it will do everything a netbook or a laptop will do. The answer is it will do most things a regular computer will do. The difference is that as a touch screen device you will have to get things done a little different. With the touch screen keyboard it can be a little difficult to write long documents. You might need to buy the optional keyboard with dock if you plan on doing a lot of writing on the iPad. As for most daily task like email and web surfing the iPad does a great job and lightens your load when you are traveling. The amount of apps for the iPhone that run on the iPad make almost any task a breeze. You will find just about any program you need to get a task completed. It’s true that there are a few things like opening zip files or flash based programs will not work, but overall that’s just a little bump. The iPad does make a great replacement to a laptop and most users will be able to do almost anything they want with this device. If you are planning to buy an iPad you might want to get one with the 3g card built in. When you travel it’s nice to be able to get 3g access if you are not near a Wi-Fi spot. The data plans are a little expensive, but depending on your usage can be a life saver to get your work online. Would I recommend the iPad as a replacement for a regular laptop or netbook, yes it can easily do everything you need. There will be a few occasions when you will need a full featured computer, but for everyday business tasks the iPad can adapt and get things done as easily as any other computer device.

Clutching A Handful of Cheques Money Made Online

As I was walking down the street the other day clutching handful of cheques I was thinking why other are not making the same amount of money as I make. As I looked around the bank I watched a man deposit his pay cheque in the amount of $700 for two weeks of work. This man looked extremely tired and did not look like he enjoyed his job too much. Then as my turn approached to make my deposit I felt sad that others do not know about making money online. It is less people competing for those who do make money online, but I do believe that the market is big enough for everyone. The Internet has so many opportunities that I could still make money with the increased number of people making money online. Once the bank teller added up my amounts she asked what I did for a living. A little shy I told her I have an online business. With that said she kind of wanted to ask me a few questions, but seemed a little shy to do so. As I walked out of the bank I wondered how many more people would like to know what I do and do it. Then I realized that there are people that want to know what I do, but will not take any effort to do it. That is why I can go into the bank and deposit a stack of cheques while others are stuck at a job for two weeks just to cash one cheque. There are many simple businesses that can be started for just $2.95 and create passive income. This is income that keeps coming not matter where you are or what you are doing. Try telling your boss that you want your pay cheque next week, but you are going to spend sometime at the beach this week. It’s not going to happen, yet online I do exactly this and I still get paid. There is no boss who will deny my payment. As long as I put a little effort up front I will make money when I am doing other things. The best way you try my method is to use a service like Secret Home Income and follow their instructions. As I spend more time online researching business ideas for my self I like to give back and help others. I only wish I could tell the man in the bank that he could be making a full time income and make more money with a little advice. Reading any motivational book I really do get a sense of why some people succeed and others do not. It sometimes comes down to fear other times it’s not taking action. If only more people could understand that taking action is what leads some to extreme success and paves the way to a better life.

The Most Effective Use of Twitter Part 1

As more people find out about Twitter they want to know how it works and what it is. If you are new to Twitter then I would say that Twitter is a great way to find up to date information in real time. You can search Twitter and get results in real time from other users who are tweeting the subject your searched. An example is if you are looking for information on the new CD from an artist you like. If you type new CD by artist the results will provide you with all users who know something about this artist and the possibility of a new CD. This would be of benefit for a fan that was using Twitter to get information on the artist they follow, but the same can be used for business. You can keep track of conversation users are having about your company or competitor. If you dig into what Twitter is and how to use the information you are going to get a better picture about a topic then just doing a Google search. The information that you get from Google might be a day old and not current. With Twitter the information is current and up to the minute. The use of Twitter to collect information is just one use. The Twitter service has become such an important way to learn new trends and get information up to date. If you want to be current in your industry you want to use Twitter as a new source for collecting information.

If you have not played around with video and uploaded anything to YouTube you are missing out on large amounts of traffic. The best part is that you will be getting free traffic to your web site.

It was drag to have to buy video capture cards and convert video to something your computer understood. Now it’s quick and simple all you need is a video camera that cost around $150 and your are ready to start making videos. The price has also come down now on HD cameras and you should try to pick an HD camera like the Flip or Kodak that make movies in at least 780p or higher. After you get your video onto the camera it very simple to upload your content to the computer and start editing. You can even find free editing software and tools online.

Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens Review

If you want to make money online a picture can make many sales. Depending on the type of product or service that you are going to be selling online you might need a good picture to make the sale. One digital camera that caught our attention for quality and price was the Cannon Digital Rebel XSi at less the $600 you are getting a SLR camera that rivals the more expensive models. We use our Canon Digital Rebel Xsi for our listing on eBay. The items look sharp crisp and makes the buyer want to bid on the product. On auction we were listing went up 80% because we changed the picture to one taken with teh XSi.

Details:
The Digital Rebel XSi (EOS 450D in Europe) represents Canon's response to the increasingly crowded and competitive nature of the entry-level DSLR market. Where the original 'people's DLSR', the EOS 300D, owed at least some of its success to the simple paucity of competitors, the market in 2008 is a very different place indeed, and one that's seen Nikon (with the D40/D40x/D60) carve a sizeable slice of the action, and where Olympus, Sony and Pentax have strong offerings at price points unthinkable just couple of years ago.

Making Money With Twitter Sponsored Tweets

It's funny how Twitter does not have it's own revenue model, but their are many people making money on Twitter. A few months ago I signed up for Sponsored Tweets which is a service that connects advertisers with Twitter users. If you have a Twitter account with more then 200 followers you could be making a lot of cash.

When an advertiser wants to send a message through your Twitter Account you get a message. You then log into your Sponsored Tweets account and edit or approve the message. You also get to set the rate that you will get paid. When you start it is going to be around $1-2 as you gain more followers you might get paid up to $500 a post. It's a numbers game and the quality of followers. If you have built a good following then advertisers are going to pay good money to reach your follower.

It's free to join Sponsored Tweets and getting an account is done the same day you apply if you meet the minimum follower requirement. Sponsored Tweets is the best way to make money on Twitter and you will get very excited when you send out your first paid Tweet.
