Time management. Most people will shrug their shoulders and mumble something about never having enough time in the day...me included.
What I do concentrate on is building up my inventory in the most cost and time effective arenas for sales.
My websites (see above) account for a very small percentage of the sales I get. Amazon accounts for 85% of sales and ebay the rest.
Listing on eBay is long winded.
Selling on eBay is more expensive by far than selling on Amazon for a comparative inventory.
So do I list on Amazon, work on websites or persevere with eBay?
Is there a danger of putting all of my eggs in one basket?
Of course yes there is but on the other hand why disregard the arena that provides most of my income?
Should I be making more efforts with stuff I frankly find not very effective, Twitter and Facebook networking and marketing, SEO for the websites, promoting them harder.
I need to decide what to concentrate on to avoid drifting from one to the other aimlessly.
If only I had the time to think about it for a while.....

Two Years Later as they say on Spongebob Squarepants
So here we are, two years or so on from my first blog entry and as you can see blogging has been a regular occurrence. Not!
I haven't had time is my excuse, which of course is exactly what that is, an excuse.
I am not one of those idealistic, enthusiastic people who bang on endlessly about making full use of time but they do have a point. What I have typed so far has taken about 5 minutes and I must be able to find 5 minutes each day surely?
So here we go, today is the first day of the rest of my life and all that baloney. See you for 5 minutes soon.
