Mrs. Homeschool

Did you know I am a published author?  Yep.  Well, on Kindle I am.  I actually have 10 titles on my virtual bookshelf for Kindle (2 aren't live), I have another finished and waiting to upload and another in the works.  I am really nothing special…if I can do it, anyone can do it.

Here's a screen shot of my account…I did black out the titles and ASIN numbers for privacy.

Part of our family’s income stream is tied to eBay.  We use it for clients to generate leads and we also use it to sell “real” products.  I’ve been an eBay seller since 1998 and even created a course on how to make money on eBay.  There have been policy changes in the past like increased fees, increased restrictions on sellers, not being able to leave feedback for buyers.  (You can read all about it here.)

But the new ways to scalp sellers, I mean policy changes, have gone over the deep end this time in my opinion.

As 2011 comes to a close, I've decided to take the Mrs. Homeschool Store in a new direction.  In 2012, I'm going to focus more on courses instead of individual products, hoping that these courses will be more beneficial for YOU to get the results you wanted when initially purchasing products.

So…

I'm clearing out my virtual shelves and selling all the products I currently have available at an insanely low price.  And if you already have a business going, this is a great way to get some really good products that you can claim on your business taxes as expenses.  (Now, please note I am NOT an accountant, so you will need to verify whether these courses qualify as valid deductions for your state or business.)

I'm going to try SUPER hard to be short and sweet since it IS the weekend. :)

I've just setup a page for you to hear an AWESOME interview I did recently with a stay at home mom of 4 who has a business selling a very interesting product on eBay.  I won't spoil the surprise.  You'll have to go here to listen:

I am in a mood…a PURGING mood.   Probably like you, there are lots of things sitting around our home that have real value, but aren't getting any use.  Most of the things I'm looking at are courses that my husband and I took and got the CD's for and want to pass them along.  But until about 2 weeks ago, I wasn't exactly sure HOW to do it.

You know I'm big into eBay and Amazon…but the market just isn't there for these items or some may have little imperfections that make them unsuitable for sale on these sites.
