•Yahoo Stores And Yahoo Site Builder
About a year ago I watched an excellent tutorial about putting together a yahoo store. I really wanted to step into the E-commerce marketplace and start selling some goods online. I decided to go with Yahoo because they have a very good reputation and take a lot of the headache of research away from the store building process.

•Never Ever Buy Traffic
There are a few things that really get my blood boiling. One is email scam artists who obviously have nothing better to do than to try and steal your money.

They make all kinds of claims about how great getting a ton of traffic to your website is. The other angle is how easy it's going to be as well. Some say that the system will work...

•Clone Yourself A Guide To Outsourcing
What I really need today are ten clones of myself. If I have ten people that think like me, have my passion and work ethic, then I could really get things done. Unfortunately, the mini me concept is not viable so I am stuck with trying to find good substitutes. Outsourcing things that you need done to promote your business allows you to practice the important concept of working on your business instead of working in your business. If you have an E-commerce store this becomes very apparent...
•The Perils Of Starting A New Website
The other day I had an interesting conversation. It is really a similar conversation that I have with most people when they find out I have online businesses. Most people want to start something or think they have a good idea for a product online. As the conversation goes on it usually is exhausting to find out after some time of teaching that most people have no idea where to start because they lack the basic research skills.

•Making Shelves And Larger Projects For Woodworking
I get the question a lot lately about cutting dado's and grooves for larger projects such as shelves. If you are a beginner woodworker, you spend a lot of time just trying to figure out which tool you need to build the project you are interested in. It's nice if you have someone there with you to ask your questions to, but it does not always work that way. If you go to a website to purchase the tools, you probably will not be able to speak to someone knowledgeable about how to make a part or...
