What do you mean WORK at home?

Work at home means what it says, WORK AT HOME, but many folks just want the imaginary riches that come along with "joining" some opportunity. Joiners don't make money, workers do. You can't buy your way into success, but many companies will try to tell you that you can. If you doubt me, ask anyone who knows anything about Zeek Rewards or TelexFree.

That's why I chose to work with a company that shows me how to "make my own money" without recruiting a single person or buying ad packages, a garage full of lotions and potions, or ridiculously priced vitamins, tea or cleaning products.

Most people go into business to earn an extra $200 to $1000 per month to help them meet their goals, not to live in mansions, eat caviar for breakfast and play on luxury yachts.

If you want to learn how to make money then I can help you. The course costs $20 per month. You will learn how to find, list and sell products on eBay starting with basics and working up from there. You keep 100% of your own profits.

eBay Research: What To Sell?

   If you were to log onto eBay right now, I would just about bet you that you can find pretty much anything that your craziest imagination could produce - within reason. The point is that there are so many different things you could sell on eBay, that you could spend days, weeks or months looking for the perfect type of products to sell to your customers.

   So let's take just a few minutes here to help you make some educated decisions on what is appropriate and in harmony with the goals and nature of your business. If you intend to go on eBay and start selling whatever sells to the masses, then you need to step back and realize that the products that sell in large volumes are naturally dominated by the MUCH more established sellers who own several eBay Anchor stores.

   I do not want to discourage you or deter you from going after selling iPods or mp3 players, or whatever the hottest item is, but you need to be aware just how very competitive selling on eBay actually is.

   If you have a brick and mortar store that sells shoes and you want to dip into the online marketplace , there are a few questions you will need answers to get us in order to determine what to sell.

   Start by asking yourself:

   What do I think I can sell?

   What do I have that is unique or unusual on eBay?

   How do I find a smaller niche to sell my items?

   Who are my customers?

   How much money do I need to invest?

   Experiential knowledge of your own items will give you a better understanding. It could be something like a profession that you are in, a hobby that you enjoy, or even something that you learn about consistently.

   So, let's go with the shoes example, just to demonstrate. Shoes are a large category on eBay so we need to be a little more specific and pick the brand and colors that sell. If you wish to see if there are trends in your particular brand of shoe, go to:

   http://new-pulse.ebay.com

   This will give you snapshot of what keywords are being searched and how many searches there are for them. That also to each each individual category for eBay - not just in general. If you go onto that website you can start to get a feel for what is selling in your niche.

   Here is another eBay resource to see what the best selling items are:

   http://product-index.ebay.com/best_selling_1.html

   It's no secret that eBay loves the big players. After all, they are trying to make money like everyone else. While this does result in them being a little harder on new sellers, it all boils down to you needing to be at least somewhat savvy when it comes to standing out from your competitors.

   You can attach your eBay store to other mediums. If there is a hot topic or movie, post it on Facebook and get buyers attention that way.

   You really need to stay informed on the topics that are relevant to your business. Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds there are plenty of ways to stay informed.

   Here are a few websites where you might like to sign up to their RSS feeds:

   http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/index.htm

   http://trendwatching.com/

   http://www.trendhunter.com/tv/trends-in-2010-forecast

   http://www.fool.com/

   http://www.marketingcharts.com

   http://pewsocialtrends.org/

   This is only a sample of the companies that keep track of constantly changing trends in society that ultimately affect your bottom line. You need to keep track of these reports as they deliver relevant information to you.

   That's exactly what the big boys do on eBay and it's what
keeps them at the top of the game.

   If you don`t keep current with new products that are coming out or what is happening in the news, you may find yourself becoming frustrated when the items that you list will have seen their peak and sales fade.

   You can also sell second hand goods. The garage sale business is still booming.

   Recessions and economic fluxes result in many  opportunities. It's how eBay began in the first place!

   Outside of the box is where the real money is made. If you just stick to selling what everyone else is selling, then it can prove to be fruitless.  If you do exactly the opposite, you might find that there is money to be made.

   If you want a comprehensive guide on the right products to choose, and the best methods to promote them on eBay, I highly recommend you check out one or both of these sites:

D$ Domination
and/or
Online Selling Tactics


Both of these sites teach you what to sell, how to sell it and the secrets to turning your hobby into a fully-fledged business. If you've ever wanted to know everything from the basics to what sets Powersellers apart, you'll learn it here.

   I hope you enjoyed this post, stay tuned for more advice from the pro's. 

LiveDrive Backup Review

Livedrive is a British online backup provider that serves over 500,000 clients worldwide, including individuals and well-known corporations such as PC World, CompUSA and TigerDirect.  Unlike other online backup services that offer backup and syncing in one package, Livedrive differentiates these services into different packages so that users can pay only for the services they need.  The backup of only one computer is included in the company’s most basic backup plan, but users can backup additional PCs for only $1.50/month, or opt for the company’s business plan which covers up to 5 PCs.
To learn more, visit Livedrive.

Features
Whereas many other online backup providers such as Backup Genie and MyPCBackup offer limited backup space in their most basic plans, Livedrive differentiates itself by offering unlimited backup with even their most basic plan (which is appropriately known as the Backup plan).  Livedrive also offers file versioning for up to 30 prior versions of each file, a service which can provide peace of mind for anyone who may need or want to access past versions of an important file.

It is important to note that many features that are offered by other backup providers are only available in Livedrive’s upgraded “Briefcase” plan.  Among these features are the sharing of files with others (including sharing via social media websites), editing files directly in a web browser and the ability to email files to Livedrive and to have them added to the user’s file by the Livedrive team.

Other notable features of the Backup plan include:

• Restoration of deleted files for 30 days
• Stream music and movies directly from your Livedrive folder from any web browser
• Transfer of files between computers on the same network
• Mobile access from  nearly every type of device including Androids, iPhones, Kindles and Blackberries
• Works for both PCs and Macs
• Backup of chosen files rather than automatic backup of the entire computer for a completely personalized experience

Ease of Use
Livedrive is extremely easy to use, and the company offers a free 14 day trial so that users can see for themselves just how straightforward the service is.  Setup of Livedrive was complete in only a few clicks, though it did trigger a warning from our antivirus software, which we successfully ignored.  It was especially refreshing to see that Livedrive warned that the initial backup may take some time and that it was not a problem to continue using the computer as usual during the backup process, and even to restart the computer if necessary.

Unlike other online backup providers that instantly backup the user’s entire computer (unless the user specifies otherwise), Livedrive’s installation process begins by asking the user exactly which files he/she wants to backup, and backing up only the selected files.  Once those files are backed up, Livedrive will back up the files regularly.  During our trial of Livedrive, the backup ran approximately once every hour.  Livedrive users wishing to backup new folders should confirm in their dashboard that the new files will be included in the regular backups.  Finally, it is of significance to note that during our test, Livedrive’s backups ran very efficiently and did not seem to slow down the computer in any way.

Pricing
Livedrive offers 4 different plans; the Backup plan, the Briefcase plan, the Pro plan and the Business plan.  Users can opt to pay for each plan for either one month, one year or two years.  As is the case with all other online backup providers, the monthly price for those choosing a two year plan will be discounted as compared with the pricing for shorter terms.  The most affordable option is the Backup plan, which is available for as low as $6/month for the two year plan, and for $8/month for those who wish to pay monthly.  The Pro plan starts at $19/month and provides unlimited backup for up to five PCs and is $25/month for those who wish to choose the monthly payment option.  The Briefcase plan which is the plan that offers up to 2TB of file syncing between users starts at $12/month for a two year plan.  Finally, the Business plan can be purchased for as low as $37/month.

Security
Unlike some online backup services that provide fully private backup, Livedrive offers users of some plans the options to backup files and to share them publicly.  For this reason, some Livedrive files may actually be accessible to a wider audience than just the Livedrive user and his or her friends.  That being said, the company is very open about their use of military-grade 256-bit encryption to transfer all files from the user’s computer to the cloud as safely and securely as possible.  During our Livedrive review we found that users even have the option to login to their dashboard using SSL if they wish, illustrating the company’s commitment to security from start to finish.

Customer Support
Live customer support is available from Livedrive via the company’s ticket system.  Though many online backup companies offer live support via email only as Livedrive does, this company sets itself apart by offering technical support via its designated support console so that the inquiries will get directly to their target technician and will not be merged with sales inquiries or other non-related emails.  Livedrive users can also browse over 200 FAQs and technical articles, as well as dozens of guides that are designed to assist new Livedrive users.

Affiliate Program
LiveDrive also offers one of the best affiliate programs available today.  For more information contact Gerry by email or text 702-945-9023

Summary
With unlimited backup in every package, Livedrive is an ideal online backup solution for anyone who wants to backup heavy files such as music or videos, as well as standard computer files.  Likewise, the ability to restore files for up to 30 days makes Livedrive ideal for anyone who has the need to access past files or may want to review a prior version of a document or other file type.  The service is easy to install and to run and it runs seamlessly in the background of every computer, working efficiently while allowing the computer user to do the same.

Telemedicine

telemedicine  ˈteləˌmedisin/  noun - the remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology.

Technology has significantly altered the healthcare industry, with  telemedicine being one of the most important advancements of today's modern medical care technologies. It's easy to see why telemedicine would be a boon to the over 50 million disabled people in the U.S.A, including seniors with health and mobility concerns. Telemedicine also assists those who live in remote areas of the country. But telemedicine is becoming more and more viable and accessible to everyone, and the huge benefits that accompany it are hard to ignore.

The Employee Benefit Adviser indicates that the use of telemedicine by employees can save their employers an average of over $1000 per year in health claims for a typical family of four. The American Medical Association (AMA) cites 70 percent as the number of doctor's visits that could be handled over the phone, and 50 percent of visits to the emergency room are not actually for the purpose of emergency care. What would happen if  these numbers were reduced by a large margin because patients who need after-hours care can obtain by simply dialing a phone number. Telemedicine also saves businesses from the high cost resulting from  loss of productivity that happens when employees leave work to go to the doctor, often for reasons that could be handled by phone.

Telemedicine also reduces the amount of time a person has to wait to get a doctor's appointment. A physician's office may not be able to get you in for an appointment for a week, a month or more when you try to schedule a visit, but U.S. board certified doctors at AmeriDoc, the leading telemedicine company, will contact you within minutes of your phone call via a return call or webcam consultation.
