Started selling Avon again, stopped selling before because I wasnt really bringing in a lot of money? -

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get more customers. I have put books on doors, put adds on craigslist and in the penny-saver, and still only wound up selling to family and friends. I want to widen my horizon.

I don t believe you are going to get many responses by simply leaving books around. I think you will need to be a little more personal about it. Try to speak with your potential customer, perhaps give them a sample or show them something in your book you think would be good to try. Try to sell in a location where there might be multiple customers(work,school,gym,etc...). People tend to follow others, if someone sees a person buying something, they may feel more comfortable about buy something themselves.http://www.youravon.com/dsatar

Your particular area may not be interested in Avon products. Perhaps get another booklet based business so you can double up? Betterware is very good. I did it for a year and earned about $300 per week. http://www.betterware.co.uk/Content2.asp��Betterware is kitchen products so it will not conflict with Avon Products.Perhaps you could add an insert letter with your booklet/s? The letter could say something about yourself, like an introduction about their local representative. Add your mobile or phone number, better to get a separate number than your home number

Take your books wherever you go and talk AVON to everyone you come in contact with. Have an AVON open house invite all your neighbors and call it a getting to know you party. Make sure you have business cards made up and you can even get window decals and car magnets made up. Wear something AVON always so when people ask you can share with them what you do. Search online for AVON templates, there are a lot of great sites out there made for reps like you. Good Luck!

What is the best thing to sell on eBay? -

What is the best product that I can make the most amount of money out of?

It really depends on what type of buyer you are targeting. Selling things for kids is great, things for pets are too. There is a big market in craft supplies of all types and hobbyists too. There are a lot of used book sellers that I buy from too both for paper, audio and electronically downloads. Offer more then one way for people to buy: like credit cards, debit cards, paypal and echecks so more people will be able to get your products. Don t list store policies for paying that make you sound like an a$$hole or give them 24 hours to pay or they lose the item they won. That makes you sound like a control freak who doesn t trust anyone. When someone buys put a sales slip in the package with a thank you on it. When a person feels appreciated they come back for more. I have had bad luck buying electronics online and so have several people I know, so unless you have brand new items and the ability to guarantee them, that can be complicated. No matter what you sell, the products should appeal to a wide group of people so your customer base won t be locked down to one sort of buyer. If you just sell to people who collect one thing, you won t get lots of people to come in to look. The more the items appeal to buyers, the more wallets that will open with checks and credit cards. Hope this gives you an idea or two.

What do you think about job postings for surveys and job opportunities online? -

Hey There-I was just doing a search online for different jobs in a few different cities. I am searching Yahoo Jobs right now but also when searching Monster or Career Builder I see Job postings for Online Surveys and online Job opportunities. I know they must be somewhat legitimate because it costs $350 just for one month of posting a job on Yahoo for Kansas City.So if anyone has ever tried surveys or online jobs that promise making money online. Let me know how you did or what you think?

http://safesurveysites.com Its what I do and it s worked out pretty well. What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public s opinion. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER.The sites don t get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let s say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time.They don��t need any information other than your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month.Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. I give you my word that they pay.

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as work at home because they would hear from too many unqualified people.

You will never make money doing online survey s, been there tried that! I am doing something now that is FREE, no survey s, takes just a few minutes a day! Let me know if you want more information.YOU cannot GET a JOB online ! UNLESS YOUR willing to perform a task and that person pays YOU for doing that JOB !However YOU can join a Business and YOUR Job is to apply YOURSELF and do what they teach YOU to DO !BUT DO NOT spend MONEY to JOIN any such company ! Many are FREE and NO cost to JOIN and NO fees TO pay ever !YOUR only cost factor would be advertising and getting a website hosted and domain name! BUT many legit online biz s will provide with all the tools YOU need for FREE !EVEN if YOU cant make a website or BLOG they create one for YOU Because they only Make MONEY when YOU make MONEY ! Then YOU get duplication from a simple system for sucess TO teach YOUR people to DUPLICATE what YOU were taught to DO !THAT S YOUR JOB to Mentor YOUR people or GET them active with the training calls and support team as YOU guide them along !HEY I been doing this FOR Years 11 years now at home !

What is the most efficient way to market an online subscription-based site? -

My partner and I have a new subscription-based site we re going to be launching shortly and are researching the best ways to reach out to the online communities at the onset. We understand it s a bit of a process to market but also understand the impact a solid viral campaign can have. Any thoughts on the best way to attempt to launch such a campaign?

I would certainly start with the social networks, as I discuss over here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?�� Beyond that, think hard about how you can teach what you know. Does it make sense to give away some of the information on your site? I m a big fan of building a following as an expert in a niche. If you re generous with your knowledge, consumers hunting for additional information usually will be willing to pay for perspective that is more specific to their situation. All of this should link back to your own company s site, where visitors can find the most information (regularly updated, please!) on the subject area.If you have a budget for online marketing, you can then use those funds to bring additional visitors to your site. I think search marketing, when smartly done, can be very effective, especially if you test smartly the key words that will get you noticed by search engines. Piecing together combinations of words -- oil-based paint risk, historical military data, etc -- can make your search ads efficient.Lastly, you might consider an email newsletter. If the industry changes enough (and most do), there could be significant value in you keeping others informed on what s going on, neatly delivered to their inboxes (opt-in, of course).
