Show 04-16-06: YaBay?, Internet Marketing Center Hokum, The Worst eBayer Ever, Design Your Coupon, Making Your Blog Pay, Pet Wholesale, Fashion Accessories, Bookselling 101

What if eBay and Yahoo merged?..There are some interesting reasons why it might make sense for both. The Internet Marketing Center makes its fortune promising that you can make yours…trouble is, the $8,000,000 a year business it’s touting as a perfect eBay model is MIA. Could eBay, Yahoo or Amazon actually be considering a separate dedicated wireless network all of their own?

“The Worst eBayer Ever” is actually a pretty clever scheme to help drive traffic to another business venture. How you can use basic tools on Google to uncover your next market niche…but you have to know how to search. Keywords are king and its good to have a site where the best free keyword tools are all in one place. Thinking about the jewelry market? Then you’d better be familiar with the hundreds of terms your customers expect you to know.

A free coupon site that allows you to design your own coupon and campaign and that will do most of the heavy lifting for you. The IRS Auction site is only “Top Secret” if you’re fooled by on-line come-ons. A “Delicious” site that gives us a good example of how easy it will soon be to list many items…and this is not necessarily the best news for alot of sellers. Need a blog?..of course you do; why not use a site that actually shares ad revenue among all of its bloggers? If you can’t beat the big retail sites, why not join forces and marketing budgets to compete?…hear about a site that is doing just that.

Two sites for quality merchandise that invite wholesale inquiries: one for stylish pet supplies and one for glass and textile fashion accessories. Imagine a social bookmarking community focused on entirely on the latest products and shopping…join the “Hive” and stay ahead of your competition. A one page source for all things relating to bookselling and collecting. Learn from other’s mistakes in packaging and customer service and have a laugh while you’re doing it.
