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.

Seaside

Meet me in the waves so we can gently rock upon the sand and fall upon each other within the darkness of the deepest sea and give to the ocean her song of stillness Let us sway with her sea grass like a flag of beauty that she brings to battle For every mountain swallowed within her is but a grain of sand placed in an oyster shell Even the islands will be her gown upon our wedded bliss Her rains will come to the highlands and bear down fruit of many trees Though man will divert the rivers and dam the flows Oh the patience of the water will break down and erode every low place to deep canyons We will pool and calm the lake waters until it is clear like a crystal ball in our hands

Today is the day of the Revolution!

The carefully guarded legacy of the Beatles is to be unleashed again upon the world. It is truly another invasion in the form of a Revolution. The release of the third popular "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" allow players to mimic their favorite Beatles band member with "The Beatles: Rock Band." Forty-five Beatles tunes are featured in the game with instrumental parts, accompanied by animation sequences that will draw oohs and ahhs from fans. Fans choose a song and a member of the band, like, George Harrison's guitar line on "Day Tripper" and follow along as the animated Beatles perform. Fans will play their favorite songs through great venues such as the Cavern Club and Shea Stadium. Later sequences take place in Abbey Road studio and other interpretive fantasy environments inspired by song lyrics and themes. The seed was planted by son of George Harrision, the late Beatles guitarist, Dhani Harrison, who approached Harmonix with the idea. Ever...

Fear Mongering Idoits

The only thing I really see going is more Terrorism. There really is no crisis, no real threat to the common person. The value of your money is good. The value of your home is fine. All of the fear that is being touted about, by the media and politicians, concerning the financial situation is just fear; not fact. Fear is the best salesman. Who has lost their life savings? Who has lost their money? Unemployment is at 6% and going down. If you go and pull money out of your Money Market, or Roth IRA, who does it hurt? No one, but the real question is who profits? The politicians need to slow down and think this through. The great depression as was worse than what we have going on now. Here listen and think about what our politician, media and economists need to be doing.
