Best Penny Auction Websites
Author: Michael Gajewski
Whether they are legit or a scam one thing is for certain; Penny Auctions are taking the web by storm. Macbooks for $50, HDTV's for $30, and iPods for $20 seems to good to be true. Believe it or not, the Penny Auction business model does make this possible. However not all Penny Auction websites follow the rules. Learn how to determine which site is right for you before diving in.
How The Penny Auction Model Works
For those of you who do not know Penny Auctions work like this: Users purchase bids at roughly 60 cents each. When a user places a bid, the price of the product goes up 1 cent. Let's assume an auction's starting price is 0, and bidders bid on it until it eventually sells for $20. This means 2000 bids were placed at 60 cents each. Therefore $1200 of bids went into the auction allowing the owners to easily cover the cost of the $400 piece of equipment. The winning bidder ultimately spends the price the auction sells for, plus shipping, plus however many bids they used. Therefore the buyer gets a large discount, while the supplier profits. Please keep in mind though that many other users placed bids on the same product and came away with nothing. Therefore, bid at your own risk. This article is only designed to instruct you on which Penny Auction sites are legit and which ones are scams.
Scam Hunting
Not all Penny Auction websites have sufficient users participating in their auctions. With no competition for a product the item will sell too early, leaving the owners unprofitable. To remedy this problem, the seller will fraudulently add in bid-bots or ghost bidders. These bid-bots will continue to outbid the real customers until they fold. This allows the site owner to take money from the customer who purchased bids without ever having the burden of dealing with a real winner whom they must ship the product to. It is relatively easy to spot which sites are using ghost bidders and which ones are not.
Check to see if the same users are winning the majority of the auctions. If so, you may be dealing with an owner who created several profiles and granted them millions of free bids. Are there any usernames that seem to use an irrational amount of bids to win something cheap? Few real people are foolish enough to spend $300 by bidding 500 times on a $100 item. Keep your eyes open for sites that sell a rare product at an alarming rate? Currently, Verizon's Droid X is not one of the easiest items to find. If they are selling several a day, then they must either have a deal with the Dropshipper that not even Cosco can achieve, or they don't actually have this product in hand. Look for typos and poor grammar. A business that is professionally operated usually goes over all fine-print with a fine tooth comb. One of the more obvious things to look for is items that are selling for WAY too cheap. If there are no real bidders bidding, then the bid-bots have no reason to bid. When $200 items are selling for one or two dollars I tend to stay away. With Penny Auction experience you will learn what things to look for on your own as well. These are just some of the tipping points/guidelines to help prevent you from getting suckered into any scams.
Ranking The Penny Auction Website
I have compiled reviews for some of the more trusted penny auctions sites. Roughly a week was spent studying and analyzing each one while noting all pros and cons. The websites have been listed in descending order based off the grades they received.
IShop4Cheap: B+
IShop4Cheap proves to be one of the more legit penny auction sites on the market. The same username rarely seems to win more than one or two auctions. At the moment, IShop4Cheap actually limits the auctions a user can win per month. I have yet to sense any suspicious bidding such as a user irrationally bidding a couple hundred times on a $50 auction. The products available are current and top-notch. Bids are not over-priced, the site runs on a strong server, and shipping took only four days for my Bose Headphones. IShop4Cheap.com does suffer from formatting issues with some of the older versions of Internet Explorer, and they lack any sort of video tutorial. Luckily, the interface is easy to navigate and the minor complaints do not detract from the overall experience.
BidCactus: B-
Bidcactus is designed very well and comes across as a professionally regulated site. It has a large variety of auctions tailored to all customers. Suspicious bidding is minimal. However, it is very difficult to win anything on Bidcactus. Their site gets tons of traffic, resulting in high user competition. I did not win anything so I cannot comment on shipping time. My online research does show that BidCactus will rightfully ship the goods to auction winners and shipping can take up to two weeks.
Swoopo: C+
Originating in 2005, Swoopo was the first penny auction site to hit the scene. They immediately get bonus points for this. Their servers are top notch and run at a great speed. They also offer the widest variety of products. Swoopo's pitfall resides in the fact that they allow users from all over the world to bid on the same product, despite the fact that not all currencies are equivalent to one another. This drives competition up at an exponential rate making it almost impossible to win anything. Just like with BidCactus, I never won anything on Swoopo. BidCactus ranks highers due to the fact that all bidding is done in American currency.

Live in Color with Your Own Digital Printing Business
Author: Mark Green
All across the US, one business which offers hard-working entrepreneurs the chance of success is a digital printing business. It does take a lot of work and effort to get right though, so before rushing into it, it is well worth understanding what makes it such an opportunity. You also need to check that you are right for it.
The reason why a digital printing business can prove so profitable and rewarding for Americans today is simply that there is great demand for the service across the country. The most important market to tap into is in the business world, with all kinds of print services needed by local, regional, state and countrywide companies on a constant basis.
For many companies, they will need posters and banners for store frontages, stalls and displays, for example. Office-based organizations will require a complete range of business stationery, from business cards and flyers to brochures and catalogs. Even local tradesmen will require business card printing services and signs from time to time.
Whilst the majority of trade will come from the local business community, and efforts to attract this type of work should take priority, individual consumers should also be serviced. Increasingly, people are interested in having personalized business cards of their own, whilst communities will always need to advertise events through posters and other displays.
Whichever customers are being looked after, though, the most important part of any successful digital printing business is delivering a high standard of customer service. An important part of service delivery is shown in the way customers are treated and how well advised they are with expertise and proven knowledge.
Developing such skills, particularly from the get go, can be difficult. This is most certainly the case with your regular start up business. For this reason, choosing to go down the franchised digital printing business route is highly attractive.
As well as providing all the initial training and support, the network of other franchisees can also prove invaluable to success. A franchise will also be in a far stronger position to provide the very latest technology to work with, as well as be skilled in the latest techniques to deliver a better quality of product, and thereby a better quality of service.
For the entrepreneur, working with a franchise set-up offers many other benefits too. Funding from banks and other lenders is easier to obtain, thanks to the proven business model and the fact that franchises have a high success rate. Risks are lower because of the training and network, but also because mistakes are less likely as they have all been factored in to the training.
For the right people, with the right attitude, a digital printing business in modern America is a great way to take control of your own life. It is the perfect solution for those who often say to themselves, "I want to be my own boss". You have this ability and a safety net of a support group and a recognized name. Playing a part in the economic recovery of your area and the country is also a plus, providing far more pride than a regular 9 to 5 job ever could.

Discover How to be Your Own Boss
Author: Mark Green
If you are not satisfied with how your life is shaping up, it could be time to be your own boss and really take charge. Starting a business is a brave decision to take and for many it can be difficult to find where to start, but with the right thought and planning, it is achievable.
Possibly the most important part of starting to be your own boss is deciding which business to set up. This decision is not something that should be rushed, so taking time to look at all the options available makes sense.
When weighing up the options, there are a number of ways to approach things. For some people, perhaps being made redundant, the natural choice is to start a business in the field they have been working in. Alternatively, many will want to look at opportunities in fields that interest them or with recognition of a gap in a market, provide a service which slots into the niche.
There are many reasons as to why new businesses fail, though many of them can be traced back to a singular point; that of not having an adequate business plan. These are not complex documents to produce, but do provide a great base to work from. With such plans and models already in place, this is one of the biggest reasons why franchise businesses are more likely to succeed - and they still allow you to be your own boss. Choosing the franchise route can also allow you to switch industry, opening more opportunities for you.
If you want to be your own boss, simply creating a business plan can provide you with clarity and confidence. It allows you to give focus to the project with the documentation of actions, goals and strategies, whilst is also increasingly demanded to secure funding.
Even when a decision has been made, the research needs to continue, at a faster pace in many ways, to understand the target audience. Knowing who will buy the service or product offered, and where, is critical to ongoing success. Here once again, franchises can present a better option, as market research will already have been done and a new franchise has lots of support.
Often, small businesses with a greater chance of success are those which service other businesses around them. This allows a sustained customer base, whilst as the economy shifts and improves throughout the US, there will be more businesses opening up and greater employment; so professional services such as printing and design will be increasing in demand.
You cannot be your own boss without a strong support network, which includes family and friends and even customers. However, having support within the industry can be a great plus, providing information about new initiatives and approaches. This is a huge advantage of running a franchise.
Building your own network can take time to build, but is worth doing for the benefits it brings. Franchised companies have an advantage here of course, through their existing network and constant support received from the headquarters, which saves the time that otherwise a business owner has to start from scratch. Funding is also more easily available when choosing to open a franchise with an established brand.
It is possible to be your own boss, no matter your background, education and training, color or creed. The most important thing to ensure you have is a hard working ethic. Done well though, running your own company can be hugely rewarding and profitable.

Discover Three Supports Which Will Make You An Extraordinary Entrepreneur
Author: Hendrik Behrens
As an entrepreneur this is your personal expedition towards discovering how to alter your business and personal aspirations into attainments. Think of it as though you have travelled to a remote island in search of this pathway known as "GIBÉBÉ".
After many months of searching, you have at last met someone who knows and understands the pathway that you are looking for. You have searched for many years for this knowledge and you are now ready to complete your journey and harvest the rewards. Joyce Mbaya will share with you – in her book called GIBÉBÉ – this knowledge and this pathway and walk with you as your personal mentor.
The pathway of GIBÉBÉ is made up of three supports that ultimately lead you as the entrepreneur to personal success. These supports are major stepping stones and create a procedure that can lead you to transform your personal dreams into successful achievements. When combined, their names also build upon each other to form the actual word: GIBÉBÉ
The Support of the Sun: imaGIne… your success path
The support of the Stars: BElieve… in the impossible
The support of Fire: BEcome… who you are meant to be
You can now see that the pathway of GIBÉBÉ has been derived from these three supports that it symbolizes; imaGIne, BElieve, BEcome. In Swahili, they have a word that maps the true meaning of this pathway… the word " JIBÉBÉ ", which literally means:
"to uplift yourself"
or in this case we can think of it as
"to improve or transform yourself".
Your journey to success using the path of GIBÉBÉ will be unveiled by discovering these three supports and the knowledge within them. As you complete each support, you will realize how it becomes a key stepping stone on your journey as a successful entrepreneur. You will also be shown how to apply the knowledge within each to realize your desired breakthrough in your industry and personal life.
The pathway of GIBÉBÉ is a demanding one and you must train yourself accordingly for there will be many insights and ambiguities that will be revealed – some of which may be difficult to comprehend at first glance.
In order to begin this personal journey as a self discovering entrepreneur you must start by first opening up your mind. If you succeed in this, then the pathway itself will be enlightened and will become clear.
During the expedition, you will discover important steps to your personal and professional success. You must expose these steps and successfully steer the lessons that shall be revealed to you. As your personal guide and mentor, Joyce will reveal her own experiences as an entrepreneur that helped her to complete her personal journey and in turn this will help you to unlock your own pathway.
As you discover the facts, also know that purpose and success can only be perfected through consistent exercise. As you learn the pathway of GIBÉBÉ, you also must place yourself in situations that will reveal to you more intensely how this knowledge can shape your future as a entrepreneur. There is a reason why children are more likely to attain self discovery than adults. It is because they are first of all open-minded and have not formed preconceived opinions and beliefs that would form a blockade that prevent personal change and transformation.
Recent scientific research has now proven that when we are conceived, we have the same potential in each and every one of us. You know deep down that you have the potential as an entrepreneur to be as great as the most important and wealthy entrepreneurs and achievers of our generation. So why are not all entrepreneurs successful? The answers are right there in front of you!
From the moment we are born, we start to be impacted by different information around us and by the environment and culture we are brought up. We go through different personal experiences and receive teachings from our surrounding society. Then we automatically start to form similar opinions and thoughts that begin to influence who we eventually end up to be.

This will help you when reading Joyce's book it will not be just an action but becomes a personal experience that will truly start to show you how you can reveal your greatest potential as an extraordinary entrepreneur.
Yet even with Joyce as your mentor, she cannot do this without your personal participation. She could be telling you about the guaranteed formula for winning the lottery or an extraordinary system that would immediately make you millions in your business but none of these things would work if your mind garden is not arable, watered and ready for the kernels to grow. Think about what she will be sharing and how you can implement it immediately and make it practical in your daily life and business.
And this is the gem of all: the ability not only to listen, but more importantly, to apply as much of the knowledge we gain as we possibly can.
Realize that there is a reason why this knowledge is now being accessible... On our great journey of life, we are often given opportunities to think about our specific purpose as an entrepreneur as well as our personal success. This is another one of those (life-changing) opportunities, knocking on your front door.
In the past few years, Joyce have seen herself move faster on her own success journey as an entrepreneur and she have seen her aspirations becoming one achievement after another.
These accomplishments and many others are what have led her to believe that anything is possible and also to see that the strategies she is about to share with you can really work in helping you achieve your personal dreams.

Earn Extra Income At Home - The Weird And Funny Facts
Author: Azroy
To earn an extra income at home sounds like quite an attractive idea for most of us. It gives you the opportunity to earn an income without having to commute every morning to an office. Imagine waking up at 10 in the morning, making coffee in the kitchen and then making a 30 second commute to your home office. Sounds awesome doesn't it?
If it so great to earn an income from home, then why do most of us fail to earn any good income at home? If you are wondering why, here are 4 facts that probably never occured to you when you are trying to achieve success in earning an income from home.
1. Not believing in yourself.
Running an online business at home takes a lot of determination and perseverance. Apart from having the right mentor and following the right system, you must believe that you will suceed. Your chances of success is very slim if you in the first place do not believe in yourself.
2. Stay focused
There are many ways that you can do to earn a stable income from home. To be truthful, there are just too many opportunities out there that promises you the world. Jumping from one opportunity to another will not get you anywhere. You need to be extremely focused and only work on one single opportunity. Stick to it irregardless of whatever new opportunities that presents itself upon you.
3. You don't have to get it right, just get going.
Do not be afraid to make mistakes. No matter how much you read or learn on how to earn income from home, you will not learn anything until you have actually gone out there to execute what you learned. Accept things to go imperfectly and fix your problems as you go along. You do not have to get things right the first time you just have to get going and start executing.
4. Follow a schedule
Do not work on your online business only on your free time. If you treat it like a hobby, it will generate you a hobby income which is usually close to nothing. If you already decide to work at home and run your own online business, take it seriously. Treat it like as if you are running a real offline business. When you treat it like a real business, your mentality will change and you will take serious actions that you would never have taken if you only treat it like a hobby.
If you are still searching for a way to earn extra income at home, head over here for free complete guide book to generating an income from home.
