My eBay Store

I opened up my eBay store (back in the day) lol No clue when but when I did I called it: Ask Danna. Then I bought the domain: AskDanna.com. At the time I had a website that was for people to ask me questions about eBay and to share freebies and offer free auction advertising.
This was way before the bump came along.
The way I had it for people to share their auctions was,
I set-up a guest book on my website page.
I changed the wording on the guest book.
Instead of it reading: Sign my guest book, I had it read: Post your Auction here!
It worked out very well at the time and I had quite a following of regular people posting auctions and visiting my website: AskDanna.com.

Soon, my site was so busy with traffic that the "Free" site I had it on would not allow anymore visitors. I contact the company and they said I was over my traffic limit for the month.

I then went to GoDaddy and set-up a website there.
I love it and it all went smooth until they started charging me more money each month than what I had signed up for. After the 2nd month of this happening, I contacted GoDaddy to ask them what the deal was and they told me that in one month I had over 28 thousand visitors AND the next month I had 32 thousand visitors in one month! I was like OMG!

I had to increase my bandwidth and come up with a new plan.

Soon after: PowerSellingMom.com was born and after awhile, I had no need for the AskDanna.com site anymore except to point it to my eBay store. I've always had the same name, so now my AskDanna.com points to my eBay store AND the rest is history!

Customized Christmas Cards

When my children were little, every Thanksgiving I would have them group together for a photo shoot! I felt it was the perfect time to capture a "family" moment and turn that photo into the yearly Christmas card I would send out to my family and friends. I've tried several different companies over the years and this is one I HIGHLY recommend for the best price:

VistaPrint
For a limited time they are offering:
50% Off Photo Holiday Cards. Personalize holiday cards with your photos! Exp 12/31/08
And their prices are fantastic!
I can proudly stand behind this company and say that they are indeed " MOM APPROVED!" ((smiles))

If you're looking for some Box lots of Christmas cards that are not personalized, I found some great deals.

June 2008 PowerSellingMom




Hi, my Name is Mindy.

I am a single Mom of 2 boys 8 & 14. I was working full time

as a consultant at a very well paying job in NY when my job was

no longer needed. I comuted 1 1/2 hours each way to work and was not able

to spend as much time with my children as I would have liked to.

Instead of going back to work out of the home I wanted to be able to

spend more time with my children and to be there when they needed me




I wanted to do something that would allow me to stay at home and make

my own hours so I turned to eBay and started seriously selling in Sept 07
(once the kids went back to school).

I am now Silver PowersellingMom & Trading Assistant.



I sell health and beauty items, Mac, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder, Clinique,
Prescriptives, Victoria Secret just to name a few.

I also sell Coach among other things, in fact I'll sell just about anything
if I can make money on it!

I do everything from buying, listing, shipping, inventory, you name

it I do it.



When I first started selling on eBay it was so exciting to see how I can
make money while sleeping, spending time with the kids, even vacation!




Please take a look at my store www.mdlstore.com and let me know what
you think! And if you every have any questions please feel free to let me know.


Danna, I am honored that you choose me to be a featured Powerselling Mom!

Mindy

30 Days in the Spotlight



My name is Sandy Faust, and I am in love with antiques and collectibles!!!
I have spent 12 years as a customer service representative with a large mail
order catalog company, so I have tons of experience dealing with the
public. My previous job has given me the expertise and the knowledge to
start my own business doing the one thing I love most! My main interest
is in stemware of all kinds, be it expensive or inexpensive.
I love hunting for and finding unusual patterns.

My goal with Sandy's Collectibles and More, is to provide my customers with
quality glassware, classy vintage jewelry and those unique and unusual items.
Being an avid collector myself, I understand the passion that goes into
"the hunt" for that one particular item to add to your collection. I know
the feeling of excitement and the satisfaction of finding another piece of
the puzzle! That is why I try to keep my prices and my shipping costs as low
as possible.
I want everyone to be able to afford to shop in my store.

Thank you to Danna for giving me this wonderful opportunity to be in the "spotlight"!
Sandy
