Adventures of an eBay writer, instructor and educator

Adventures of an eBay writer, instructor and educator
This is the blog for Janelle Elms of Ebay University, Ebay Stores, etc...
She is an awesome person who has things going in the right direction. After reading her blog, from what she reveals about herself, I find her to be honest, outgoing, and self assured. Plus she like 4x4'in!
If you are an ebay person, looking for some marketing direction she has the keys to those doors. The only thing that I think could be improved in her class, would be more emphisis upon the social marketing aspects. But then again I think this would take a whole day for those discussions.
After the classes, most of the people where coming to me to ask about the social marketing, thanks to her comment about me being a social marketing guru. I wish!
For those who do not want to be a ebay seller, there are plenty of work for you if you can get in with these power sellers.
One member of the class sold film, 16mm - 70mm. He did not have a newsletter about his products, no reviews, no guides, no blog. His store did not even have the RSS feeds turned on. Jannelle did this for him with the entire class watching. This guy could also benefit from the whole social marketing but blogging, podcasting, and getting out there for his customers to learn about his product.
I also think that audio/video media needs to utilized more within any of the ecommerce triangle.
I have been selling Music CD's, that information is provided by Muse. Picture, Artist Info, and track listing. But a snippet of sound would be better, to have so a buyer could sample the tracks.
I know where Ebay could get all the snippets they want, and probably for cheap.

A Moment with the Master

I am not sure that if a demon were to manifest right before me in such horrific detail that I would be affected as much if I found myself alone in desolation. Not really afraid of the dark as much I am fearful of what the full light could show. I wanted to speak to myself for just a moment. Do you do that, talk to that person that is always talking in your head? I have lots to say, when I can get a word in between the chatter. You should never believe the lesser men that espouse to teach the lessons of the great masters of the past. They smell of hypocrasy and there is potential dangers of the mass of humanity, the dullness, colorless, boring; the masses are the final tyrants on monotony. It is the primitive power that can be the cage of your power. Do you ask your Self these questions, when you are alone in the car or in the dark? How powerful are you and what are you really? You are not to ask of God, gods, spirits or ancestors, nor rely on them your whole life. They might help yo

One of my favorite poets and poem

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken. I want to free what waits within me so that what no one has dared to wish for may for once spring clear without my contriving. If this is arrogant, God, forgive me, but this is what I need to say. May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children. Then in these swelling and ebbing currents, these deepening tides moving out, returning, I will sing you as no one ever has, streaming through widening channels into the open sea. Rainer Maria Rilke

True Sacred Union

I was awakened to a vision of Mary Magdalene on the night of the Summer Solstice, June, 21st, 2009. A most beautiful vision was opened to my eyes upon hearing my named calmly called out from my slumber. This personage was above me seemingly on a beam of cloudy light that opened a doorway from a dark tunnel. She was dressed in dark blue robes with a white shawl upon her head still again covered by a headpiece of the same blue. Upon her neck and wrists were white lace. It was very similar to the images Mary Magdalene that I have seen, since. As she hovered before me, I took notice of every detail. Her eyes were piercing but soft with forgiveness. Her skin seemed to glow yet somehow translucent. All around her head was a golden white glow. This glow emanated as rays of light from the sleeves of her robe. Her palms were showing and her arms were spread outward as if to receive and give at once. From the middle of her chest also came a ray of light. The colors were slightly different that
