My life

Voodoo marketing I’ve just received a book about voodoo marketing. This is more self help stuff about how you too can make millions by following the great and the good. What the book seems to leave out is the fact that these people had money in the first place. They either borrowed it or put their own capital in, but either way, they had a huge lump sum to start with. The books don’t tell you how to get this money in the first place, so maybe it’s rude to ask? There are no self help books about... Sign in to see full entry.

New cold War! It looks like Mr Bush has stirred up the Russians enough to put the sparks to a new fire. Sure enough, the kindling is from a very old camp, but the mutual feeling of hate and distrust is alive and well. This is all sparked by the proposed deployment of a missile defend system, which will have part of its system situated in the UK and Easter European countries. Many of the systems will be so close to the Russian border, that it could be very useful in shooting down any missile the... Sign in to see full entry.

What’s Up? Not much been happening. Decided to renew my subscription, since I’ve dropped the “Writers Wanted” thing, I struggle to make any money here. But there are not enough hours in the day to keep it going. For anyone still interested in trying to make money Writing, take a look at the AC page, they post an daily email packed with offers of work. As I’ve said before, the subjects are all over the place, and I can’t see anyone fitting the bill, but its there all the same. Ebay it a little... Sign in to see full entry.

Link with the past! Have you ever had that urge to find an old friend or a lost acquaintance? Well I happened to let my mind wander on Google the other day and typed in a name that used to play a big part in my life. Try it, its: Janval Phagan. http://www.geocities.com/janvalphagan/ She was the head of my coven for several years, until I drifted away from organised magick. A tough women for a tough job. Few people in the occult world stick their heads above the parapet and are prepared to take... Sign in to see full entry.

Animals and Bio-Warfare! With a case of “Blue-Tongue” breaking out on a Suffolk farm in the UK, the farming industry faces yet another crushing blow. With foot and mouth and BSE all biting a chunk out of the industry, you might feel sadness for the poor farmer. But hold on! These are the same farmers who do not hesitate to sell out to the supermarkets. Clearly the biggest villains in the case, the supermarkets have all but destroyed the farming world in the country. Yet helped along by the... Sign in to see full entry.

Associated Content! Anyone who trawls the net in search of work for writers must have come across Associated Content. This is a bit like bloggit, in that you put your stuff up and hope to get people to read it but the twist is, there they pay. So they have a rolling request spot where the market place come to you. They send you, every day, a couple of requests for articles which editors or web owners have requested. They put their point of view and hope that in all the thousands of words on...

Sorry for Delay Sorry I haven’t made any entries just of late. Ebay has taken up so much of my time that I just feel empty and not capable of drumming up anything worth saying. Lots of new ideas, but my attempts to make money from web design have come to nothing. Lack of capital, and you can’t do it on a shoe string. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.

Hauntings and the selling of Books One thing which always sells on Ebay is a book about the supernatural. Haunted East Anglia is a book we’ve sold on several occasions. People love books about a haunted area. Doesn’t mean to say they will ever visit that area, but nice all the same. For those of you in the US, East Anglia is a bit of England that sticks out East. Its very old and very weird. The most haunted house in England (and possibly the world) was Borely recterary.This was priest’s house,... Sign in to see full entry.

Ebay! Tora..Tora..Tora!!! I’m pleased to say that the money is trickling in through my renewed efforts on Ebay. If I could make this much every day, I could quit my day job and just find a part time supplement for the rent. Oh what a happy thought? So what books sell on Ebay? Anything with the word: “Pony” in the title. Anything by Enid Blyton, especially secret 7. Any French philosophers, especially Satra. In other words, there are no rules. People will pass up wonderful 19 th century books for... Sign in to see full entry.

Life goes On Ebay is the only thing paying me any money at the moment. I’ve started up my book selling scheme and its going well. To my surprise the charity shop we used to use has agreed to renew the link. I’ve gone back to collecting car loads of books for £10 and I’m now in the process of typing like hell to get them online. Of course I’ve still about 1,000 books that have never been put on Ebay. They have been in the house over 5 years and have survived the great cull that happened over a... Sign in to see full entry.
