Learned that we are in the fourth quarter of the selling business, I watch You Tubers getting inventory for this quarter, It is supposed to be a high selling time of year, so big inventory is key,
With all that is going on in my life, being a part-time seller is all I can do, I love looking for treasures in the thrift stores, but I just don't have time to source for items to list,
I haven't found the niche for me, but I know I will,
I also learned that no sells does not mean items are no good, just that the right buyer hasn't come along to see it, so I try, try again,
We will see how this quarter goes for me

Status Report, August 1, 2017
Continue to add inventory to Ebay, conservatively, not paying for listings above the allotted amounts per month,
Watching many You Tubers who have been selling on Ebay for awhile, mixed reviews but good info,
Learned about Goodwill Bins, buy items by the pound, look for high quality items with a higher return value,
Still no money to invest, only reinvesting the profits earned on items sold,
Learned about the mobile friendly checker which allows my items to be seen on mobile app,
Getting better at using correct shipping,
Results remains a negative in money, but it's all a learning experience,
Like all start up businesses, it takes time, and profits are not seen for the first 5 years

Ebay Selling

First began on Ebay, March 1, 2017
No money to invest, Printer without ink for printing shipping labels,
Sourcing what I had at home, Going to Goodwill to find cheap items,
No shipping scale, Poor knowledge of shipping cost,
No Mylar shipping bags for clothing, High cost per mailer at Dollar Tree,
Results for May = a negative amount in money, but a positive in inventory
Won't give in to despair, as with anything, it takes time, money and perseverance.

creating a solution

Creating a solution to a problem;
Problem: Need extra money to supplement single income.
Beginnings: List two items on Amazon.com/shop/days
                    List one item on Ebay.com
                    Begin bidding auction for credits to be used for free stuff.
this will be a new journey for me, to finally get rid of what I have and make some money in the process
                   


                  

Karate

another class in +Jeet Kune Do Concepts & Philipino Martial Arts, the work out was not as bad as last week, and i learned a ground training method known as +shrimping and bridging. One of the instructors is really helping me to participate since i am the only female in the class and it's alittle awkward to just jump in, i was mounted and had to bridge and roll him off of me. It took a little practice but it got done.

Karate

began a class in Karate @GCC, didn't get the email about the workout that we were going to do, so here i am three days later still hurting, attempted to work it off with stretches and light exercise, used heat therapy patches from +Walgreens, but I'm still very sore

Many Moons

It was my fiftyth birthday, it was a great day this 3rd day of September, Labor Day.
No breakfast in bed, no birthday cake. Just one thing i missed about my ex, he always made it a big deal on my birthday, but I got beautiful flowers from my daughter +Veronica and some great birthday cards that made me laugh, we went out for dinner at @Joe's Crab Shack and i enjoyed it quite alot. My oldest granddaughter wished me a Happy Birthday on the phone as did my other granddaughter who sang Happy Birthday on the phone, and wished me a Happy Birthday, my brother +Jim called later and remembered my birthday, i am glad he is still in my life. My son +Alf and his family took me out for dinner @Five n Diner and gave me my first gun. I am so happy to finally have a gun, i hope to learn to use it very soon. In this stage of my life i have been able to reflect on my life and all that has occured. It has been a hard life, not because it had to be but because i made it that way by my own actions and decisions. Some things i regret but have forgiven myself as i know God has forgiven me, and some things that i don't regret but wish had had a different outcome, in any way this is my life, and i am enjoying what i have, who i'm with and where i am going. Who knows what will happen next.
