A Motley Slew of Sites & Ideas
November 29th 2006 22:22
While money is flowing out, contrary to all my scolding, let it at least be spent wisely.
Paying attention to the wise comments of bargain-value.com , that I think internationally (this is the internet), I will recommend to readers in the US who have babies that they take a look at 1 800 Diapers, now let me try that link again 1800Diapers.com
I haven't used them, but there are mothers who swear by their prices. Delivery only in the US at this time.
Since you save gas, and possibly your temper, shopping online, you might want to try one of the shop-bots to get the best prices. I've been really surprised seeing who has the lowest price on an item. I've used Shopzilla.com, and I've heard good things about NexTag.com.
I did notice that Apple has a website in Australia, currently offering free shipping (free shipping always warms my heart).
Here is the written out link, in case I still don't have my links working: http://store.apple.com/133-622/WebObjects/australiastore . The free shipping promotion is on the left all the way down the page.
Now that I have a full tummy I'll lecture a bit .....
(so you might forgive me, I'll give you my daughter's quick & easy pasta recipe:
Sinfully filling and tasty.
I'm sure there are Italian restaurants serving this with an elegant name and price. Kate just calls it pasta with green beans.)
Now, to money coming in. A blog or two ago I wrote about multiple income sources as something we should all be looking at. Here's a recent quote from a major league player (in an email from mediapolis):
"Universal Music Group head Doug Morris told the Reuters Media Summit this week that the company expects to see its most profitable year ever in 2007, thanks to new tracks from its most popular musicians.
I know you're busy right now, with work and preparing for the holidays. So, if you don't want to look into it now, think 2007. Just remember, on ebay there are people who sell only digital goods. And help themselves financially by doing that.
They have delivery set up automatically, through a company like Payloadz . Someone makes a purchase, say of an ebook you've written, then they receive an address to get the book from Payloadz.
No inventory for you to store at home, no customer service after the auction.
I've seen where people have thousands of auctions successfully concluded, selling little ebooks on all kinds of subjects, from flower arranging to spotting fake Gucci or Vuitton items. Any subject at all.
Just something to think about, when the time comes for the money to flow in the right direction. That is, coming in.

(so you might forgive me, I'll give you my daughter's quick & easy pasta recipe:
a couple of handfuls of fresh green beans, cooked, set aside,
a few handfuls of spaghetti: cook, put on plate.
Slather with butter & garlic seasoning, add green beans, and throw on fresh parsley.

'You can see there are myriad streams of income starting to come into the record companies," he said, according to the Reuters report."We're going to make money from MySpace, we're going to make money from YouTube, we're going to make money from Zune," said the chief executive of UMG, whose client roster includes chart-toppers like Gwen Stefani, Kanye West and U2."
