eBay Marketing Tips To Help You Make Money Online
eBay can be a powerful way to make money from the internet. Each days millions of buyers visit the eBay site looking for products at a bargain price. Around 15 percent of all eBay sellers are making a full time living from it so there is potential to make a lot of money.
The first step is to select some products that you may want to sell. You can use a free keyword tool like the Overture tool to see if there is a market for your products. Once you have found a product that has a market the next step is to look at similar products using the eBay search function. It is a good idea to track a handful of auctions similar to the products you are interested in selling.
Each auction usually takes seven days so at the end of that period go back and check the prices that those products you were tracking finally sold for. This will give you a good idea of what bid price you should start with and what you can expect to sell your products for. The eBay website can be a great resource to help you learn more about the system and how to succeed at it.
Making clear and accurate descriptions is very important to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. Always be clear about how much shipping will cost and clearly indicate the payment methods you accept and the regions that you ship to. Make sure the product descriptions are accurate and honest, if there are some defects in the product then be sure to mention it as accurately as possible. Using clear photos to describe your products can also be effective and may be essential for many products like jewelry and watches as most people want to see the product before they buy it.
Offering as many different payment options is often a good idea. Accept credit cards, paypal, cheques or money orders and be sure to mention any holding periods if people do decide to use cheques. Remember that once someone buys from you and receives their product they will usually leave some feedback about the experience. You want as many positive feedbacks as possible as this will help to establish you as a trusted seller in the marketplace. Keep in mind that if you are accurate in describing your products and fast at delivering them then you have a good chance at succeeding.
It is best to start with one category of products ideally something that you are very comfortable with or know a lot about. Also it is a good idea to start with products that do not cost very much. Get a feel for the system and how it works and develop good feedback and high ratings. Once your ratings improve then you can go ahead and try to sell the more expensive items.
When selling low priced items be sure to offer other similar low priced products and also offer to consolidate shipping costs. This will help to increase buyer interest and may result in more sales since people will want to buy several items and not have to pay extra for shipping. After 10 positive feedbacks you get a gold star, after 100 a blue star and after 1000 a red star. Remember that bidders value these ratings so be sure to always deliver excellence to your customers to help build up a great reputation.
It can take some time to build up many positive feedbacks so be patient and learn from your experience. You are only allowed to list your products in one category at a time so using a keyword rich title is important to help your potential customers find you. Most eBay visitors use the search function so think about the keywords they would type in for your products and be sure to add them to your title. Use some of these tips to help you make money with eBay.

Getting Match Tough for Tennis
It has been said that the sport of tennis is a chess game when it has players who are at the same level. Why is then that one player seems to always pull out a victory over an equal opponent. By implementing a specific tennis strategy, or mental toughness if you will, you will more than likely come out on as the winner. Tennis has a gentlemen's competitive spirit that brings a ray of light to the sport. Have you ever wondered how your friend all of a sudden started beating a person each time they played after losing many times initially? There are simple explanations of just becoming faster and being more fit, but what comes with that are improved skills and mental recognition during match play to execute shots in certain situations.
What you may see is better shot making, what a coach sees is someone who now hits the right shot at the right time, plays the percentages, and knows his or her opponent's game. Upon recognizing your opponents, weaknesses, you can now start to effectively employ a strategy to win. In the beginning, you may not be able to do this but with repetition, it will improve and you will find yourself winning more sets.
For example, if you are losing to a serve and volley player, employ if you can, what world No.1 Roger Federer does and chip or slice returns back "low" to them feet and make them volley up. By having them volley up, it is a defensive shot into your court leaving you many offensive options. If you don't have that shot yet, practice it. I can guarantee you will run into a serve and volley player. So, get more shots in your repertoire. if you have a player who loves to stay back and hit on the baseline, bring them closer to the net and test their mid-court game. Often, you find them hitting long shots from that court position. Yes, it truly is a mental game to see if you can win from various court positions. Andre Agassi, a true tennis legend and philanthropic man after his career, was known to hug or hit from just inside the baseline. This court positioning and where he hit the ball from what just one of his advantages against his opponents.
If you are a beginner, learning how to play tennis can be immensely enjoyable since you can play this sport well into retirement. There is even more satisfaction when your game rises to the level to where it becomes effortless yet you still have sound hitting and powerful strokes.
Unfortunately, tennis teaching has for quite some time become more intellectual, with a lot of instructions to remember at one time. The result is beginning tennis players who over-think move like robots. Many tennis players spend hundreds of dollars on lessons, only to be left with even more confusion than before... and still cannot keep the ball in play for more than a few shots!
Have you been taking tennis lessons and hitting hundreds of balls with no noticeable improvement? Ever notice the players who take months off or even a few years off and still look fluid once they return. They were taught the right way with the right techniques. Although, mastering tennis technique is only a small piece of the abilities and skills needed to play tennis. You can learn extremely easy and more economical with a tennis instructional video. In addition, you can play this over and over again and not at $50 per lesson. These videos can teach you the technique and how to play.

CECT A988 - Dual Sim Texting Plus TV Mobile Phone - Interestingly Innovative
At first glance, it may be hard to understand how imports from China that really started out as copy cats on popular cell phones became so popular. After all, popular cell phones are readily available both in the US and over seas.
In my humble opinion based on my own experience, the reason for the clones' popularity is because they legitimately fixed and improved upon problems with the original products that they were copying.
For example, the CECT line of clones noticed that although consumers were in love with most of the iPhone's features, they did not like: having to go to the dealer to remove the battery; having to use AT&T service if they didn't want to; and having to carry two phones if they needed two phone numbers.
The manufacturer saw this opportunity and jumped on it by introducing dual sim phones (two phone numbers or plans in one phone) which had removable batteries and slide unlock features so that consumers could use whatever carrier they wished.
Now, CECT has taken this technology one step further with the introduction of the A988. The A988 has added the "TV out" feature which means that the phone plugs into any TV so that can you watch your video on the big screen. Unlike many of the clones, the A988 has a keypad on the base of the phone (along with handwriting recognition) so that advanced texting is very easy on this phone. There are only a few iPhone clones built to text. The A988 is one and the N99i is another.
You can buy the A988 for anywhere between $100 and $150 depending on where you get it. As people are beginning to realize this phone has the TV feature, it is becoming more and more popular.
