Am I the only man who doesn’t give a flying flip about sports? Probably not but I do know one thing… eBay sales drop when a major sporting event comes along.

Have a great weekend!

I cut my first lawn today. This ushers in the slow summer season as an eBay artist. I would love to hang up my mower blades and continue just creating my art but it seems that eBay is a hot and cold market.

Here is another question for ya.

I make so little during the summer months. Is it that important to maintain a year around presence on eBay or should I just close up shop for a few months?

I cant believe how sick I am right now. My boss says I can't take time off. He is such a jerk! Sometimes it's tough working for me.

I promised to remark on my listing strategies yesterday so here goes:

Up till this winter I had been just listing my artwork for sale and watching sales dwindle as the holiday season came to a close. Then as I was reading a book one cold day it dawned on me to diversify. To some this must seem so obvious but I had not made the connection of product vs. exposure. The same person that may enjoy my artwork could be reading the same book I was and not even be aware that my art even existed. By listing more everyday items of some relevance I have been able to reach more customers and my art sales have increased as a result. Don’t get me wrong, I know this is not a new concept but it was new to me. So if your selling grass seed why not sell a few related books on the subject as well. I’m going for a much needed nap while my boss is out to lunch so to speak. See you tomorrow.

How much is to much? Should a seller list all of his items at once or spread them out? Tomorrow I will share my strategy on listing multiple items.
