How to Start a Nutrition Home BusinessWritten by Randy Wilson
Most people discuss nutrition daily. How would you like to help people by starting a nutrition home business? It is an industry that is growing and changing constantly.Nutrition is big business and by starting a nutrition business now, you are getting in at right time. But you first have to find your niche and decide on what type of business you want in this industry. There are several options for you to choose from. The fist option is to sign up with a company that uses nutrition business representatives to sell their products. Many of these companies are Multi Level Marketing companies. The business is yours, but they usually supply training, support, and sales and marketing tools. They tend to have many benefits and few downsides. One benefit is that public already knows company name. This helps nutrition business owner get established and succeed. With this type of nutrition company you will have to advertise locally and build a client base. This will only give you part of your income potential. If you get others to become nutrition business representatives, you will earn residual income from them and those who become representatives under them. The more you help them, and more they help others, higher your income. If this doesn’t sound interesting to you or if you don’t want to deal with people personally, look into becoming a business representative for a warehouse distribution company. Some of these companies help people to start nutrition businesses from home, or a variety of other types of businesses, for minimal start up costs. They will usually help you create a website that is linked to their warehouse. The orders are processed from your website, and shipped to your customers directly. This is how you earn your money. The main drawback is that if no one finds your web site you don’t get any orders.
| | A Picture Paints a Thousand Words and Creates Auction Euphoria on eBayWritten by Mike Ralph
Ever since I sold my first item on ebay I have been addicted to site and I have steadily developed it as a supplementary source of income over last two years. As I gained experience from listing items, I rapidly became aware that inclusion of pictures in listings was a major selling point as buyers could literally see what they were buying and as such create a greater interest and desire within them which in turn led to greater selling prices.To sum it up in one sentance : Pictures attract attention, help explain details and more importantly stimulates desire which leads to Auction Euphoria. Auction Euphoria is that process whereby desire to own an item is that great that all logic goes out window and buyer rebids to ensure that they win it, thus increasing selling price. This simple bit of knowledge has allowed me to push my final selling prices up on average between 10-30% and as such it amazes me that so many listings do not include one picture and just type out details in one long line of text (usually all in capitals!). I am not complaining however because this fact alone has allowed my auctions to stand out and make money. I started off using eBays add additional photo service to include extra images in my listings which people could use as a reference point and I found out following : 1. Always make sure that image is clear and of actual item for sale, otherwise what is point of including it? You will find that poorly presented pictures suggest that seller doesn't care and hence will devalue potential selling price of item which is of no use to anyone. 2. Never use a stock photograph of item for sale, with increase in fraudulant transactions (especially on higher value items) this will serve to put buyer off, again serving to devalue your final selling price. Taking a little extra time to get an actual photograpah shows yours buyers that you care and will endear them to you. 3. Where possible use a digital camera, these are very easily accessable nowadays and relatively cheap and they produce excellent images. A webcam can also be used but does give a grainier picture. Remember cost of digital camera can be offset by gain in final selling prices.
