I came across something somewhere - possibly here, possibly somewhere else - where someone was claiming that anyone who used big words or spoke eloquently or refused to use netspeak was just 'pretentious' and 'showing...

FrostBittenFruit I'm glad you started this discussion. English is my second language so I have to try extra hard to make my writing understandable. I don't know all the grammer rules per say. An English teacher in college was extremely critical of my writing because I speak...

I constantly see advertisements for online work. Most of them seem like scams to me. I go by the rule of never paying to work for someone else. If the company is offering a job, why do they want to collect money from you first?...

FrostBittenFruit I see where you are coming from. I have the same concerns. I have been lucky enough to stay away from the scams. If you add all the various sites together, there is some pocket change on a daily basis. It all adds up in the end. Although I'm not sure if...

FrostBittenFruit I still don't think you can make a lot of money. I think most will be just enough for some pocket change. If you are interested to find more links, I have some posted in my profile if you want to add a few more sites to you list.

I just looked into selling on e-bay for my arts and craft items. I find myself overwhelmed by the amount of people selling and buying on e-bay. With this many people doing business on one site, doesn’t that also mean people...

FrostBittenFruit This is one of my concerns. They are recruiting people to do drop shipping. Most people can just sell a whole buch of cheap stuff and not care about flooding the market. Ebay has become the 99 cent store of the internet!

FrostBittenFruit So far from what I have learned is it cost about $2 to list an item for auction. You can have a store on ebay from $15-50 per month. You have to join PayPal in order to accept Credit Card payments. Of course they charge you there too. Crafts are already...

FrostBittenFruit Thanks for the offer. I'm just starting out so there is a lot to learn still. I just felt overwhelmed by the amount of sellers. Most aren't individuals but import companies. I can't compete with someone selling something they dropship from China at only $.57!...

FrostBittenFruit Well, I'm having the same problem as many others are during this time of the year. Money is a bit tight right now. I wish I had the extra funds to start something like my own website, but for now, I just want to sell a few items to get started. I haven't been...

FrostBittenFruit Maybe that's my problem. I'm very attached to my artwork. To be selling it to some cheap jerk just looking for a good deal seems so wrong. I want to sell it to people who are appreciative of the work. On the other hand, I don't want to over charge either. I...

FrostBittenFruit You are right about getting something is better than nothing. If all I was selling was unwanted items then I would be more comfortable. My issue is there are so many drop shippers now. It is hard to get noticed when 30 other people are just listing and selling...

FrostBittenFruit I do handpainted items and jewlry. I had to stop the jewlry because there was just too many drop shippers on ebay. There wasn't a big customer base for custom made jewlry. I'm still uncertain as to whether or not people care enought to buy quality. I can't...

There is a misconception that servers are required to report their tips as at least 8% of their sales revenue. 8% is simply a bottom line that the IRS uses when attempting to determine how much a server earned in tips over the...

FrostBittenFruit Yes you are correct about the IRS using 8% as a basic calculation. Keep in mind thou, not all servers do well every single day. Some days might be better than others. A lot does depend on where they are working, who they are serving, etc. Some people are...

FrostBittenFruit I guess I'm falling behind on this particular topic but felt the need to throw in my two cents anyway. I agree that most people have not come out to everyone in their lives yet. Whether or not this is the right cause to do so, I'm not so sure. I think everyone...
