The Truth About Your Competition
Many business owners get very worked up about the issue of "The Competition". But there are many things to keep in mind about "Them" as you define your competition and plan marketing materials that stand out: Big businesses aren't your only competition. Be sure to think about the smaller businesses that offer similar products or services-sometimes they can be more of an issue than their size indicates.

Dealing With Problem eBay Buyers
Sometimes you just have to wonder why some buyers actually bid. The auction ends…and then the problems begin. One of the most frustrating problems is when the buyer never responds. Have they disappeared off the face of the earth? Has their computer exploded? Whatever the reason, they ignore your emails and apparently forget that they purchased a second-hand Beatles record collection off you a couple of days before.

Make Money on eBay - How to Cut Costs
Let's face it, eBay buyers want to find bargains when they make purchases on eBay. Those bargains equate to high quality items for low prices. For the seller who simply views selling on eBay more as a hobby, or as a method to clear out excess items from their house, attic or garage, getting any amount of money from items is a bonus. For the seller who views eBay as a business and wants to make money on eBay selling at bargain prices creates a challenge. For that seller, items are purchased for resale with the goal of making a profit on every sale every time.

Top 5 Tips & More

1. If you regularly carry your laptop back and forth from the office, get hold of a spare battery pack and keep it at home so you don't have to remember it every time you plan to WFH.

2. Make sure you have a few ways for people to contact you--such as a mobile, a landline, email and instant messaging--so if one connectivity mode goes down for a while, your colleagues will still have a way to reach you--and you them.

3. Understand how to structure your working day for the greatest benefit to you and your company--whether that means doing a few hours early doors, taking the kids to school and walking the dog, or logging on late at night to free up time during the day. If you are able to bring a necessary--or less stressful--degree of flexibility to your working day then you should be more dedicated to your work and feel more energized. Your employer should see that as a definite benefit.

4. Tapping away on a laptop is fine on a plane but when working from home make sure you have a full size keyboard and a mouse--and a monitor if possible, as well as a comfortable work space--your wrists/neck/eyes/back will thank you in the end.

5. Make sure friends, family and partners understand what working from home is about and that they appreciate it's not an 'available for chores and errands day'.
