Monday, July 7th, 2008

Hi everyone. I have a little Freebie for you all today!

I had a fabulous collection of eBooks that I was selling out of my eBay Store, Moomette’s Magnificents.

However, recently this year, eBay decided against allowing Store Owners to sell digitally delivered eBooks.

Therefore, I’ve moved all of my eBooks to my Olde Towne Shoppes site.

I’m sure many of you are trying to explore different ways to work at home, and earn a little extra money for your family or to put in your gas tank in today’s economy.  Have you been looking for information on how to become a Mystery Shopper ? Look no further ~ CLICK HERE.  This is even a great idea for many Baby Boomers or Seniors who are on fixed incomes, retired or like to shop!

I’m giving away a copy of Myrna Marshall’s Mystery Shopping Secrets to any of my readers who’d like more information.

Simply leave a comment on this post, or send me an e-mail with “Mystery Shopper” in the Reference. I’ll e-mail you the link code for a free Immediate Download. The book is in PDF format, so you’ll need Adobe Reader, which you can get for free here.

More eBooks in all categories available in my Shoppes Site!

Recuperating or on Bed Rest? If you have an eBiz or Work at Home - Start a Blog to Promote your Business

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

When my DD was pregnant with ‘Lil Moomette, she developed preeclampsia and was relegated to bed rest for the remainder of her term. Now, mind you, when this child was 2, I purchased the book entitled “The Difficult Child” for my easy reading pleasure. To envision her on total bed rest doing puzzles or watching TV…I have to say I’m glad she was finally induced.

I belong to several networking forums, and one of the gals indicated she is somewhat of a shut-in and recovering from surgery, on bed rest and is looking for a way to pass time. Forum members wished her a speedy recovery and mentioned that we’ll be looking forward to her posts on her progress. I suggested she start a blog or ezine to promote her eBay business!

Why The Most Popular Home Based Business Opportunity These Days Involves A Blog

by Carael Knight

Today more than ever, chances are that if you have found a successful home based business opportunity, then most likely it involves either the heavy use of a high traffic blog or two or alternatively you’re making use of some effective classified ads to generate your targeted traffic.

It is no secret that popular search engines love blogs because of the fresh and constantly updated content found in plenty in this amazing new medium. Most bloggers have no problem enthusiastically updating their content daily or on a regular basis because they love their blogs since they give them “a voice” and a unique chance to publish their views and comments on a subject that they are usually crazy about. This powerful combination of factors has ensured that blogs have grown in leaps and bounds. The result has been the emergence of a powerful and effective medium that is by far the best for promoting any home based business opportunity.

In actual fact what happens is that the blogger uses the blog to work their home based business opportunity by directing some of the huge traffic to appropriate affiliate programs they have already signed up for. They mostly do this by making good use of affiliate links pasted at prominent and very visible positions all over the blog site.

So what happens is that the blogger has lots of fan blogging while at the same time working their home based business opportunity.

But blogging admittedly is not for everyone. And that is why there are those who use carefully selected effective classified ads to direct targeted traffic their home based business opportunity site.

Why just about anyone can make money online

Most people think that making money online is one of the most difficult things in the world and yet the reality is that anyone can make some serious money online. It really is easier than you think.

What makes it difficult is the attitude and the approach of most people. Many have plunged in blindly and inevitably the have failed. The net is full of these failures and they are constantly busy telling others that it cannot be done, just because they themselves failed.

Actually one of the biggest hindrances and obstacles to folks making money online is that most of us want to do it overnight and without having to learn anything first. This is a really strange mindset when you think about it because doctors train for years before they can be allowed to practice and commercial airline pilots also train for years before they can be allowed to fly passengers. So why should you expect to start an online business today and start making money tomorrow. Is that really realistic? Is it any wonder that so many people have failed in their efforts to make quick money online?

The big secret here that should not even be a secret is that anyone who takes a little time to learn the ropes and takes their minds off making money for a short time only will quickly find that they can earn much more than doctors and airline pilots after just a few months (instead of years) of learning. In other words anyone who is prepared to take the time to learn can make money online.

Musings… Retirement Career Options, eBay Store, Boomer Woes…and other stuff

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007


This week has been a ‘me’ week. I’m feeling my Boomer age. The flu shot that was supposed to be good for me actually darned near flattened me. I’ve been home with an upper resperitory for several days & antibotics!

While home, it’s given me time to reflect. I’ve spent a a great amount of time tweaking the mechanics of this Blog, and working on my eBay store, Moomette’s*Magnificents. Tons of stuff to sort, photograph & list that I can’t wait to put up! So much to offer! I’ve decided I would rather do my eBay store as my primary source of income and do the SAHM~WAHM type of work, than trudge in to the office for my regular job. I’m too burnt out from that now after so many years. I’ve spent a lot of time surfing this week to see what’s working for other people.

Moomette’s mom is away on business, so I’ve been picking her up from daycare & feeding SIL when he comes to get her. Although my energy is zapped from this cold, she’s brightens my day when I get her! Actually, I got a wakeup call at 7 am today so she could be dropped off at daycare! Well, at least that got me on the Internet early while waiting for her!

We New Englander’s love our comfort food now that it’s getting colder~ Here’s SIL’s favorite recipe that I’ve been making for him since college:
