Ok bloggy peeps let me throw this one your way. I am looking for a bit of advice here.
I have been selling on ebay for over 5 years. I started on my first maternity leave with Diva1 and just continued with it. I had an ebay store at one point and was selling quite a bit. Now I just sell all my girls clothes along with my friend's kids clothes. I am not an ebay millionaire by any means but I have been able to keep my kids dressed in cute clothes every season and pay for some luxuries when needed. For example, clothes for me and dinners out for hubby and I. Just another way I work it!
Well anyway I have a lot of knowledge and experience with selling on ebay. I have even written an e-book on it and consulted with other moms who want to sell. So I think I have a lot to offer you mamas who may be interested in this area. And I know all moms, especially in today's world, are always looking for ways to make extra money and strecth the almight dollar.
Here is my dilema I guess..
I have researched a lot on blogging since I have started and one of the things I have come across is that you should have different blogs for your different niches. But seriously who has time for that? Not me. I thought about starting a blog just to talk about making extra money with ebay but I barely have time to keep up with this blog.
So my question is this do you ladies want to hear my thoughts, experiences, and advice on selling on ebay/and or making money online? If so I will start a Money Making Monday series where I would offer my words of wisdom with selling on ebay along with anything else I learn about making money legitimately online.
Or...
Should I just start a blog dedicated to selling on ebay/online money making?
I look forward to your thoughts on this.

I say stick with this one and do your Monday Money posts on here. I hear you about keeping up. I have a hard time making it to all my blogging friends, finding new follower, learning how to get PR companies to look at my blog so I can do giveaways and reviews…whew! I had no idea it would be a full time job.
I have sold a little on ebay…but would like some wonderful tips from you!

That is what I am thinking! thanks for the feedback. I do love selling on ebay but not enough I think to run a whole blog around it!

What a liberating feeling it must be to be able to make money while you are able to stay home with your family all while cleaning out your closets. What a great idea! Best of luck!

I agree with Tammy. Make it a prominent and regular part of this blog. I believe that it applies to the same readership, so no need to separate it out.
Looking forward to seeing your tips

I would just keep using this one.
And in answer to the question you left on my blog, yes I think the new Gymbo line is really cute.

I tried to sel some of my kids clothes but I didn’t factor in the shipping and people only paid like $4 an outfit. So I lost money instead of making any. lol

Hey Tammy,
I tried emailing you on about guest blogging on this very topic for The Stork Report, but your mailbox was full. When you get a chance, would you email me? Thanks!

Hey, stopping by from SITS. What a cute blog!
I think if people are already following you, and this is another way you ‘Work It’ – you can keep it your already existing blog. That’s just my two cents.
I, for one, will follow to keep up on Money Making Monday….we’ve recently lost an income in our family, and I’m trying to find new ways to make some extra money. I would love to figure out how to sell some stuff on Ebay – is your ebook available?!? I’d love some tips! =]
