This week:

There are now several new services that enable you to send
voice messages online and either talk one-to-one, or create voice
chat rooms with visitors to your own or other web sites.
Do you like the idea of these new services (from the standpoint
of either a surfer or webmaster)?
YES! >>>> mailto:yes+nowsell.com
I think they are a great idea that will improve communication and
community online/are a good promotional/customer service tool!
NO! >>>> mailto:no+nowsell.com
They are just a gimmick/waste of time/won't be popular/another
headache for webmasters!
ERR? >>>> mailto:err+nowsell.com
I'm not sure... depends...?

Do you work at your Internet business full time?

I work at it full time - and then some!

I work at it part time / I don't have a business yet!

I'm not sure... depends...?
[Azam: That's great! (I was a bit surprised by the results).]
···············
Voter Feedback:
···············
YES!
I thought running a web site would be a great part-time business.
The reality is, it takes a lot of time to research content and
edit my site in order to keep it up to date.
Keep up the good work,

[Azam: Thanks Jim ... I sure know about that reality!]
Yes, I do...24 hours a day...I think I even work in my sleep,
because frequently when I wake up, I've got an answer for the
questions I fell asleep to the night before!

think about work before I sleep, I'll just be awake for hours -

NO!
Hi Azam
I work at my internet business ALMOST full time, but I guess it
is still considered part-time, as I do not spend ALL Day at it,
sometimes it seems like ALL Night!!!!!

[Azam: I know the feeling Linda - and I do it all day too!]
Still looking for a program that I feel is what I really want to
do for longer than a month or so . After I join up and start to
study the company, I feel that this is just not what I thought it
was when I first started, hidden costs, monthly requirements
(both money, products, and people).
Elizabeth Pengelly
[Azam: I sympathize with you Elizabeth and hope you find
something soon, else you won't get anywhere. If you're really
having problems, drop me a line with your preferences/interests
and I'll see if I can help you find something suitable (the same
goes for anyone else in the same situation).]
ERR!
I have just lost my job and have decided to be my own boss from
now on. The Net seems to offer a handy opportunity at that. So I
am gathering all sorts of info to start full time when I find
myself fit for it. The problem is the more I learn the more
aware I am of my limitations. I guess I shall have to jump into
the water without giving much of a thought to it being too cold.

[Azam: We all have our limitations Gil, and you are right not to
let your own become obstacles to your success. Just be sure to do
some planning on the direction before you jump, even though you
may change your mind later.]

10 Things You Should Know Before You Bid On
A Business Product From An Online Auction
--------------------------------------------
by Larry Dotson
1. Know the value of the product before you bid. If
the product is brand new, check to see what price
retailers are charging for it. If the product is used or
reconditioned, you will want to pay way less than the
retail value.
2. If the product's description or picture isn't detailed
enough for you, contact the merchant to get more
information before you bid. You don't want to take a
chance to waste your hard earned money.
3. Know the highest price you will bid for the product
and stick with it. Don't get caught up in a bidding war;
you may end up paying more than the product's worth.
Don't forget to add in the shipping price with your bid.
4. Visit a few online auctions before bidding because
some merchants auction the same product in many
auctions. You usually can purchase the product for
a lower price in a unpopular auction because there
are less bidders.
5. Know the time the auction begins and ends. You
also want to know how long it will take to ship. If
you need the product by a certain date, you'll want
to estimate the time it will take to receive it.
6. Know the payment options the merchant accepts
before you bid on their product. If they only accept
checks or money orders, it may take even longer to
get the product because the payment has to clear. If
they accept credit cards make sure they have a secure
server.
7. Know if the merchant offers a warranty or money
back guarantee or before bidding on a product. You
don't want to get stuck with a product that does not
work or you're not satisfied with.
8. Online auctions will, sometimes, allow you to check
the merchants history with their auction. Check to see
if people have complained about the their products or
business practices before you decide to bid.
9. It's important to place a bid early in the auction to
show other bidders you are interested in the product.
If someone does out bid you, don't be afraid to out
bid them. Remember not to go over your maximum
bid price.
10. Another reason to know when the auction ends;
you can place a last minute bid. The other bidders
may not be keeping track of when the auction ends
or may not have the time to bid again.
