You Must Back-Up Your Work!!!

Hello Fellow Newbie Internet Business People…..

Another week and another post……..This week I was going to continue on with my story on how I got started online however after the last week I need to talk about something very important to your business online.

Over the last few months I have been working hard and studying like a mad woman learning all about creating websites, products, internet marketing and everything else to do with the internet. I have been researching websites and spending hours and hours writing my new manuals ready to launch. Well guess what I did?? Can you guess??? :?:

I have been working that hard I forgot to back up my work and guess what happened! Can you guess yet?? I think you can! I forgot to back up my work and the computer crashed!!!!!!! I kept thinking I should do a back up but never took the time to do one. I kept getting side tracked. I kept thinking I’ll do it later.

Well later never came and on Monday morning at 10am I sat there looking at a blank computer screen telling me that I had files that were corrupt on my hard drive and it wouldn’t work….. :cry:

How I Started On Ebay.

Hello Fellow Newbie Online Business People……

It is amazing that it is a week since I last wrote. Life certainly moves fast. Before I talk about what I am doing now I want to continue explaining how I got started online so getting back to where I left off in my last post……

How I started on eBay? Like I said in my last post I had found that there was a niche market I could enter of selling spray tanning equipment and  spray tanning solution. I had prepared a package ready to sell and was ready to begin my little eBay adventure. This was @ September 2005.

The first month on eBay I read as much as I could get my hands on. I read all of the help section of eBay, the policies, the how to’s etc. The website has heaps of information on how to get started, it was easy to read and easy to understand. Although I don’t know about you but sitting at the computer all those hours made my back hurt so I tried to find actual books about eBay I could read on the couch! :)

My Story!

Hello All,

Well I have finally found some time to write my actual first blog post. I set up this blog about a month ago with the intention to start writing and once again life got in the way and took over however after time managing myself a little better I have set aside to write. :?

I have discovered when you are trying to work from home around your family it can be a little hard. I have learned now the best times are when bubba and husband are asleep!! So lots of insomnia for me!! :|

Now lets get to the point of this post. I want to give you a run down of how I first started online and how I got to where I am today. Like most people I have been emailing and surfing the net for the last 10 years, however in 2005 I discovered eBay. I had heard about it for a long time but didn’t realize the potential of it until mid 2005.
