How to Make Money From Ebay and Amazon Without Selling products

How to Make Money From Ebay and Amazon Without Selling products

Technology mojah blog   Saturday, April 08, 2017

For as long as I can remember, I have been around professional sellers on Ebay and Amazon. They have been selling 6 to 7 figures worth of items every month for the past few years.They generally purchase products from China, label them with their own brands and sell it on Amazon. Some of them now have well-established brands. I have seen them working hard, procuring, organizing, sorting, labeling and shipping stuff day-in and day-out. While I wanted to be able to have a business that makes money like they do, I could never see myself putting in 18 hours a day for my business. Call me lazy if you wish. I call work-life balance.

I was once talking with a friend (who happens to be a hardcore techy) about the possibilities with Amazon and Ebay and how my other friends were making bank. He did not believe in selling online as he was never into customer service. However, he did tell me something that changed my work-life forever after that moment. I now put in a few hours a week on a side business and make decent income without having a product of my own.

How to buy and sell without a product

I am buying and selling online, but I do not have a product. I sell about USD 3K a month. No, I am not selling a consultancy or service either. I am selling used textbooks — but I do not have to keep books with me or procure them like any other seller has to, or wait for a buyer to purchase from me. My model is as easy as 1-2-3 and it has been working great.

My process is simple:

1. I find a book being sold by website XYZ.
2. I find website ABC that is buying that book at a price higher than XYZ’s selling price.
3. I place an order at XYZ, get the book, and sell it to ABC.
4. I keep the difference.

The secret is finding books that are being bought by websites at higher prices. This is extremely tough to do if you do not have a technology aide. However, thanks to my techy friend, I was introduced to such technology — called Flippiness.

This is not a get-rich-quick scheme

Flippiness allows users to find special combinations that we call a flip. Flippiness has a free plan where you get flips that make you less than 5 bucks per flip. But if you are serious about making money this way, I recommend no less than the Gold plan, which costs 100 bucks a month.

Like any other business, you need to be careful. You need to understand that a website will only pay you if you send them a good book. No one is going to pay you what they quoted if you send them a book with any of the following flaws:

1. Different edition (international or an older edition)
2. Different cover (hardcover vs. softcover)
3. Poor condition (some sellers have torn books or loose leaf books)
4. Different ISBN (ISBN is the number that uniquely identifies books)

You will still make these mistakes knowingly or unknowingly for the first few times. You will, however, learn from your own experiences. There is a helpful community of people who reply on Flippiness. If you are a Facebook user, you can join it too and get some help when you have a question.

Is this for you?

You are the only person who can answer that. I’d recommend that you not put in $100 a month to start with. Sign up as a normal Bronze user and flip a few cheap books. Decide on how much you want to invest ($50 is good to start with), and only buy a book cheaper than that. Send the book out and see if you made any money. You will also get acquainted with the process and the amount of work it requires from you.

Once you have flipped a few books, then you can decide if you want to continue. If you feel this is for you, then you can start putting in more time and money — and reaping the benefits.

Reasons Why Women Desire Sex More Often Than Men

Reasons Why Women Desire Sex More Often Than Men

Relationship mojah blog   Friday, April 07, 2017

Men talk and think a lot about Sex while women desire it more often. We explore the reasons.

Gone are the days when ‘demanding Sex was considered exclusively a man’s forte. Today women demand Sex greater than men. And they have no qualms about getting vocal about it.

“I read these funny E-mail forwards that stress on men begging for Sex'' and women denying it. It sounds so funny to me. It’s totally the opposite in my case. While men can have a good laugh over it believing that this notion exists, I literally have to seduce my husband to get him hooked on to the act,” quips production assistant Megha Mehra. And she is not alone. Many girls/women had a similar story.

Women from different backgrounds was asked some questions to figure out what is making them addicted to Sex.

1. It’s physically pleasurable

Amongst all the other reasons to remain glued to Sex, this is the most prominent one. Good Sex’ satisfies your physical urge, which is very normal for anyone to experience. Psychologist Seema Naina opines, “Sex is the most basic need of any person. And I am increasingly getting cases where women are complaining that men are unable to satisfy their physical needs.”

2. Creates positive feelings about oneself

Ideally, great Sex means you are enjoying the Sexual act and participating equally. It makes you feel good about yourself, thus adding to your self esteem. Shares housewife Neelam Nehra, “When my husband comes back from a whole day at work and we have our sack session, it increases my self esteem. The very feeling that I am able to satisfy him is a great pleasure. And since I never want to go out of shape to look unappealing to my husband (and other men), it even acts as a motivation to work out and feel desirable.” Wondering why?

“Sex has healing powers. It generates positive emotions and makes one feel more confident. When a woman sees her man passionate in the act, admiring her body and moves, it infuses a lot of good feelings within her,” opines psychologist Sunaina Bajaj.

3. Brings them closer to their man

Physical intimacy releases hormone Oxytocin, which is also known as the love hormone. Agrees relationship expert Vandana Mitra, “I have always maintained that couples should never take Sex casually. It’s a very important ingredient for any relationship to sustain. It helps couples to nurture the relationship and strengthen the bond.” So whoever said having more Sex with your partner means lesser cases of infidelity, made sense.

Content developer Prachi Sinha states, “I feel a major connect with my boyfriend after we make love. I just feel like being close to him. My faith in him and our relationship grows stronger.” Prachi’s boyfriend agrees, “When she told me about the 7 days a week Sex, I initially could not stop laughing. I mean, this is not the only thing we have to do. But honestly it has got us closer. I just can’t take my eyes off her even when we are moving in a crowd.”

4. Negates unwanted emotions/ Stress-reliever

Sex is not just a physical sensation but it’s comforting and relaxing. Call centre executive Neetu Sharma shares her experience, “Whenever I have a bad day at work, Sex really helps me unwind. It totally takes the stress out of my mind and makes me feel relaxed and rejuvenated.” Psychologist Reena Kapur explains why. “Sex involves a lot of deep breathing and touching and the hormones that are released during the act calm you down.”

5. Great form of exercise

Thirty minutes of Sex burns more than 85 calories. We have read it almost everywhere that Sex helps in burning calories. Confirms fitness consultant Stuti Batra, “While I do not suggest giving up work outs, doubling up the session makes you drop more weight.” While this is the most deadly mix, many girls are seriously taking to it. “It may sound a little funny, but while making love I prefer to play the dominant role. It helps me burn greater calories, leaving my guy in ecstasy,” says Payal Verma.

6. Invokes passion

“Sometimes I feel like a pervert, because I find myself always thinking about my boyfriend, and what we did the night before. It gives me a kick and makes me crave for our next sack session. He thinks I am crazy, but it really happens to me,” shares call centre executive Richa Sharma.

“It is completely normal to fantasise about Sex. But I have heard it can freak a guy out- we men are still adapting to the concept of women demanding Sex more than us. But we love that passion,” admits psychologist Prateek.

“Reasons Why Some Women Never Want To Marry”

“Reasons Why Some Women Never Want To Marry”

Relationship mojah blog   Thursday, April 06, 2017

Many modern women are not in a hurry to get into marriage. They realised that there are so many interesting things to do in life apart from starting a family.In a survey, some women expressed their opinions on marriage and explained why they would like to postpone it until they are totally okay to get into such a relationship.Here are some reasons why some women never want to marry.

Reasons why some women never want to marry are:

1.Most of the married couples aren’t happy. And this made some of us perceive marriage as a suffocated relationship which causes pain for the rest of the life. On the top of it, getting out of such a pain needs legal sanction.

2.Marriage is just a legal paper which tells the world that you want to live with someone. When you are sure about your relationship and have no insecurities, do you need the permission or the sanction of someone else to live together?

3.Being someone’s wife is a concept that puts off some women. Also, changing the surname and all other formalities seem more ritualistic than pleasure.

4.Going to the man’s house and living amidst strangers for the rest of the life is something which horrifies some women.

5.The pressure to marry that family members and the society give when a woman is ageing upsets some women and makes them hate it altogether.

6.The people around us and the media have made marriage look like a sacrifice that has to be made by a woman. That very concept puts some women off.

These are the reasons why some women never want to marry.

Things that happy people do but rarely talk about

Things that happy people do but rarely talk about

Relationship mojah blog   Thursday, January 28, 2016

You probably know people who always seem happy. They live with a smile on their faces. They see the bright side of any situation. They believe that all people are good. Experts agree that there are several things happy people have in common.

•  They don’t get caught up in other people’s drama. They care less about what random people say about them, especially if their remarks are rude. In fact, happy people are often thankful for all the rude, obnoxious, and difficult people they meet in life, because these people serve as important reminders of how NOT to be. They simply smile and walk the other way.

•  They give to others whenever they are able. In many cases, providing social support is actually more beneficial to our happiness than receiving it. Happy people know this, which is precisely why they are always looking for ways to help others, while unhappy people stand around asking, “What’s in it for me?”

•  They nurture their important relationships. The number of friends isn’t the important aspect here; it’s the effort you put into your relationships that matters.

• They leave space to love themselves too. The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone else too much, and completely forgetting that you are special too. When you take care of yourself, you are better able to help the people you care about.

•  They focus on effectiveness over popularity. Being popular means you’re liked for awhile. Being effective means you’ve made a difference. And it’s this feeling of knowing you made a difference that matters in the end.

• They say “no” when they need to. Saying “yes” to everything puts you on the fast track to being miserable. Sometimes you have to set clear boundaries.

•  They sincerely practice gratitude. Gratitude is the king of happiness!

•  They cultivate optimism. People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times.

•  They don’t attach themselves to every success and failure. Happy, successful people are often successful in the long run for one simple reason: they think about success and failure differently. Be a humble, life-long learner.

•  They develop strategies for coping in hard times. How you respond to the hard times is what shapes your character. Remember, you become what you believe!

You'll lose your friends fast if you keep doing these things

You'll lose your friends fast if you keep doing these things

Relationship mojah blog   Tuesday, January 26, 2016

Sometimes you sabotage your relationships and lose friends without knowing what you did wrong.

Friends are one of the things that makes life more interesting and worth living and we should always take our time to appreciate them by doing our absolute best for them.

Sometimes you sabotage your relationships and lose friends without knowing what you did wrong.

You can be the bestfriend you can, if you do a cross-examination and know what is keeping your friend away from you:

Allison Bryant of All Women Stalk lists these 7 things which may be pushing your friends away from you:

Not returning text or calls: Do you have this habit? We all forget sometimes and I think any friend would understand that. The issue comes in when you rarely ever return a text or call. There may even be times when your friend is really upset and reaches out to you through a text or a call. Do your best to return them, especially the important ones.

Not being a good listener: Being a good listener isn’t always easy! Sometimes you’re excited and have #things you want to share too. It’s hard to listen when you’re bursting at the seams with your own news. But this is a time you can make the choice to be a good friend. Be a good listener and share your news when it’s an appropriate #time in the conversation.

Dating their Exes: My teenage daughter tells me that this is basic #girl code. You just don’t date your friend’s #ex. Of course, there can be exceptions, such as talking to your friend about it and knowing they’re okay with it. But if your friend is still really upset over the breakup and going through a lot of emotions, that’s not the #time. Shift your focus to another handsome fella.

Taking your moods out on your friends: It’s absolutely okay to vent to your friends. That’s part of friendship - being there for each other on difficult days! What’s not okay is taking your moods out on your friends. Just because you’re feeling bad doesn’t mean they deserve to be treated badly. If you know that you’re taking your mood out on others then make the kindest choice and take some alone #time until you get out of your funk.

Dominating all the plans you have together: Asking your #girlfriend to go with you to shop for a bathing suit or hit the new sushi bar that just opened is fine. But steamrolling over anything she wants to do isn’t. Friendship is a two-way street, which is what makes it so special. Share what you’d love to do but be open to her preferences, too. This also has the benefit of giving you a #chance to experience new things.

Constantly asking them for favours: Asking for favors is fine! After all, what’re friends for? But if you’re constantly asking for favors, it can leave your friends feeling used. Make sure you’re giving as much as you’re taking. One way to do this is do special things for your friends that let them know how much you treasure them.

You talk about them to other friends: No one likes to be talked about. And it’s totally different if you’re talking about one #friend to another because you’re both concerned about something they’re facing. That’s just the true heart of caring. But talking about them in a gossipy or backbiting way isn’t kind. Try to follow the motto of treating others how you want to be treated in friendships.
