Happy spring, Outsourcing warnings, motivation, scammer, and more…

by 5buckguy

What a week. Last Friday, the temperature actually hit 80 degrees,
an all time record high for that date in this area.

This week it snowed. Not once, but 3 different days this week.

With that said, if anybody wants to be a lowly paid intern and move
to New Jersey, there’s an office right across the hall in my
building.

Oh well, spring is here and its beautiful weather, along with the
blooming trees and flowers, are soon to be upon us. Maybe next week.

Big week for me, folks, most of the inventory in my warehouse is
gone, and the rest will be picked up by someone that’s buying it in
bulk from me, on Sunday.

I also closed down all my eBay auctions, after 13 years of
continuous activity, and posted sold out banners all over my web
site.

Life is good, and I have some big projects planned as soon as
things settle down, which they should next week.

Forum threads of note:

Paul wanted some commenting done and wasn’t thrilled with what he
got from a Fiverr seller:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14338

So I recommended that he try Mechanical Turk instead, because I’ve
had great experience getting jobs done very quickly with great
quality, and he seems to have liked the results also.

Lesson is, just because something (like fiverr) is the most talked
about outsourcing site of the day/week/month, doesn’t mean it’s
perfect for everything.

Remember Rachel wrote a great report about outsourcing, and did
mention Mechanical Turk and others. Just like you don’t want to use
a screwdriver for every job around the house, don’t expect to use
fiverr for every outsourcing task.

BTW, Rachel’s report, if you didn’t pick it up ages ago, is here:

There was a list of trustable gurus a few weeks ago that a lot of
people contributed to. Doug compiled the list into one big one:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14340

I’m sure there are many other names that should be on the list, and
maybe some names that some of us might not agree with, but it’s a
start, and you’ll see a lot of Earn1KaDay names on there.

Some non-US credit cards are getting rejected sometimes, and

According to Rob and others, Market Samurai is no longer so great:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14323

Not their fault of course, but the bottom line is, it’s not so
great anymore. I hope they can solve the issues.

Now this information about banning cookies is downright scary:

Aiden was thinking about buying OEM software:

Bottom line is, it’s cheap and it’s most likely illegal.

I posted an email I received from Rob Toth because I was so angry
about the attitude of a scammer that was preying on some very good
people that I know, among others.

Tom and others were able to successfully slash their profits,
quickly and easily:

Lesson (which I learned when I was a young programmer, but still to
this day sometimes get lazy and ignore): test everything

Paul makes $1000 per hour when he works on this site and wonders if
others would be interested in a product about how he does it:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14307

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be scalable, in other words, more
hours worked doesn’t mean more thousands.

Another ethical situation that people should always be aware of,
brought up by Richard concerning having work outsourced:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14333

Another lesson: if you own it, you’re responsible for it,
regardless of who did the work.

Garry’s thinking of selling an eBay user name and business, is it
allowable?

The old “it depends” is the right answer, I guess.

Remember, there’s a special section in the forum called “Special
Offers (By Authors), where members offer their products at a
special price to members.

I’d rather not highlight each one individually, so that this email
doesn’t start looking like a classified ad section, but sometimes
you can get some nice bargains and support your forum friends, so
please remember to check it out next time you drop by the forum:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=23

Reminder: If you’re new to Earn1KaDay, or didn’t remember this, all
the weekly emails, from the beginning of time, are archived on the
blog here:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/wp/

If you ever miss an email, or want to check the archives, you can
always go there and do a search.

Another reminder: I get asked (a lot) about the affiliate program
to Earn1KaDay. A thread was set up long ago with details, here:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=417

##########

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights, there is much
more going on all the time at the forum. Don’t be a stranger
there, that’s where the primary value of your membership is, after
all. We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a lounge
there if you want to unwind), we’re there to learn from each other,
and share with each other, and as you can see from the above sample
threads, there’s a lot of that happening.

Until next week, I wish you the very best in everything.
