    Have You Considered Succession Planning?
    Here today. Gone tomorrow. This is obviously something most businesses do not want to think about, but should for the benefit of a business carrying on after the loss of key employees or owners.Succession planning refers to the development of a comprehensive and coordinated plan designed to insure an orderly replacement of key members of an organization when they are lost to the organization for any reason. It reminds many of the idea of royal succession. Who is next in line for the throne? However, this is not exactly right. History showed that too often the Prince was not properly prepared to assume the responsibilities of King with very serious results. The business
    Vintage books and magazines were packed with prints and advertisements and other paper items which are not only interesting, but very collectable, and profitable, too. So many things derived from these old publications are hot sellers on eBay including: prints, advertisements, knitting and other craftwork patterns, recipes, how to articles, historical articles, music scores, stories and other out of copyright material … etc., etc, etc.

    Let me introduce you to just a few of these easy to find items.

    Prints

    Old prints are valuable collectors' pieces and there's a good income to be made simply from packaging prints neatly and categorizing them according to theme, eBay's best sellers being: animals, sports (especially golf and horse racing), royalty, music hall artists, topographical (named locations) and children.

    Advertisements

    Advertisements were often hugely ornate, colored or black and white, photographic or artist-drawn. Whatever shape they take, framed and unframed, mounted and unmounted advertisements are very popular on eBay where only recently an advertisement placed by a slave trader in The Memphis Daily Avalanche in 1859 fetched $200.

    Clippings

    ‘Clippings’, sometimes called ‘Cuttings’ as both names suggest, are simply items cut from books and other printed publications. They can be large or small, or even comprise entire sections of a book linked to a specific theme. They can fetch high prices on eBay as did a 1909 article about the magician Houdini that went for $200 in May 2005 and clippings of Rudolph Valentino fetched $305 at around the same time.

    Gifts and Advertising Novelties from Early Publications

    Early publications often contained useful free gifts for readers, some of which are profitable collectors' items today. The most common free gifts were advertising inserts and sometimes advertising blotters, rulers, children's painting books and maps. Maps are particularly prolific in older books and are amongst eBay's highest priced items, such as the 1873 Beers Atlas of Maps of Long Island New York which recently fetch over $2,000 and a Mitchell's Map of Missouri and Arkansas found folded inside a tatty old book from 1937 that reached $1702.

    Posters

    Some early publications, larger ones, had double center page spreads that make great posters and prints. They can fetch bids of $20 and more. As for all publications, learn to specialize, and look for special interest magazines, targeting a specific audience, say dog lovers, train enthusiasts, classic cars, and so on. This way you gain experience about specific subjects and the person to buy from on eBay.

    Fancy Dress

    Another very easy project where all you have to do is look for copyright-free patterns and designs which you can combine into books or sell individually. They are all great sellers on eBay especially for traditional fancy dress anniversaries such as Halloween.

    Cartoons

    The secret here is to look for copyright-free cartoons which you can copy and mount or frame as they are or revamp to suit today’s market. As for other copyright-free material, although there is no law against lifting and using cartoons, it is arguably immoral and unethical to claim the work as your own.

    Cater for Lovers …. Of Anything and Everything!

    Actually, that title is a little misleading because this project covers virtually every interest for which there is a large, better still, indeterminate audience. Books and such compiled here can be sold in printed, CD or downloadable fashion on eBay.

    This is my particular favorite and, arguably, the easiest to profit from. All you do here is clip, collect and collate as many snippets as you can relating to one particular subject or theme. Cats, dogs, golf, writing, children, Amish recipes, fortune-telling, witchcraft, and more, are useful ideas for books that are simply compilations of everything you find on the topic.

    On Being YOU In Your Marketing
    A few days ago, a client (let's call him George) asked me whether his marketing is "professional enough." He was worried that his text was "too personal" and didn't make his company look like a large company.George is a very funny, likeable, insightful person. His email newsletter is extraordinarily humorous and real. He's always telling stories about himself and his nutty family in his articles, then relates those stories to the point of the article. George exposes who he really is to his customers and prospects, and they love him for it.People are so numb to all the marketing that's coming to them. Let's face it, we ignore a lot of email and letters that come o

    Franchising Looks Like Easy Money:Want the Truth?
    So often I read in business journals some business consultant telling folks that they should franchise their businesses. Well sure franchising looks like easy money but it isn’t at all. Would you like to talk about the truth? Now then it is so unbelievably irresponsible for these media business consultants to advise folks to franchise their businesses when the truth is that the failure rate of those who franchise their businesses and become franchisors is 5:1. I therefore condemn those who recommend this.Now those consultants who do not like this condemnation, I say to you; “Without a little sound and fury out there, no one would ever understand your point and therefore

    Discovering The Benefits That Hook Your Prospect
    Benefits! They're what marketing is all about. No doubt you've heard the mantra over and over: "Benefits, not features.. Benefits, not features."So how do you tell the difference, anyway? And how do you choose which ones will get your prospect's heart pumping?First, let's set the parameters: A feature is a raw fact about your product or service. You're open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Your widget slices, dices, and then folds flat. Your cleaning service uses Chemical X to clean carpets.A benefit, on the other hand, is the specific advantage of your product or service. It stirs the emotional desire within your prospect, and connects him with what you are selling.

    Knitting Patterns

    Knitting and other craftwork patterns are hugely popular sellers on eBay, especially unusual and niche market types, such as dolls’ clothing, war-time economy designs, clothes for animals, and so on. Again, look for out-of-copyright items and other patterns that never had legal copyright. Many old publications included free patterns as loose items or pull-out publications which need no additional work on them to sell. However, you are not always allowed to copy these items so where you have a good seller, work hard to obtain as many copies of the parent copy publication as possible.

    So many books and magazines available, so many ways to make money from them, so what are you waiting for!
