*Bam* That was easy!

A week? Fifteen Bucks?
Jan 1-7: $1.00
Jan 8-14: $26.00
Jan 15-21: $8.00
Jan 22-28:$31.00
Well. Almost consistency there; that averages $16.50 a week. Those are just numbers from eBay; and I’m using a variety of blogging methods to drive those sales. Mostly, though it’s a wordpress blog and the PHPBayPro software ( see blue box on the [...]

We’re golden!

Well now, that was interesting…
I have made over 12 dollars via google’s adsense this month ( today’s the twelfth ); that’s a buck a night. And when I score a sale through ebay, I’m making another dollar or two. Which implies to me that my methods are good but my targets are small. Hmm… [...]

Slightly Different eBay Tack

I’m trying a slightly different eBay tack now. Rather than following the bluehat seo suggestions, I’m ponying up for phpBayPro, a plugin / tool for creating eBay based sites.

So it’s down, and I’ll [...]

step 2: if it’s not working, try revamping.
The Collectible Figurines rss blog has been alive for about a week and I’m (say it with me) still buckless. I’ve reworked it to cover “Department 56 collectibles, which is a subset that I’ve actually [...]

Stupid Noob Tricks

Over the past two days I’ve made a few fundemental changes to the back-end processing of the Collectible Figurines site. First, I slashed the number of feeds I’m syndicating from approximately 25 to three. I’ve axed all the “sub keywords” and am just focusing on “collectible figurines.”
I’m running a version of wordpress (2.4-bleeding) that [...]

Enhancements to Our Ebay RSS Blog

Blog, splog, mlog. Yeah, we took it there.
It’s already pulling a bunch of rss feeds from ebay. Taking Plepco’s comments from the original post, we have four changes to make. We’ve already posted some “pages,” and we’ve put our keyword ( “Collecting Figurines” ) in the header and the footer. I’m not sure about [...]
