Home Business Ideas for Zoomers (Boomers with Zip)

Right now I am thinking far into the future when I finally retire. The problem is I like to work and I will always want to work. I also like to travel and my goal is to do both.

In retirement I could work as a private Chartered Accountant part-time, however that would require me to be tied to my desk. Not my dream retirement.

Ok, I admit it the phone I bought on Ebay is fantastic

Posted by Peter Fuller in Random Thoughts on December 16, 2009

Even though I do not like being held hostage when it comes to leaving eBay feedback, the phone I bought for $35.98 is fantastic.

I left the seller a 5 star rating, well deserved.

The phone is solid and easy to use, came with two batteries and shipping was free.

Ebay feedback system flawed

Posted by Peter Fuller in Random Thoughts on November 20, 2009

Today I bought a relatively cheap cell phone on ebay to be used on my upcoming trip next month to Singapore and Thailand.

The phone looks good and has all of the functions I need while travelling, not to mention it is a quad band and it will work anywhere I travel. If I lost the phone, no big deal. I even bought an activated simm card on ebay two years ago. I make sure I top it off just before I head home so that it will be good for another year.

But this quote from the seller is what erks me about Ebay’s feedback policy.

Jim Kukral gets it, the unnamed marketer does not!

Posted by Peter Fuller in Affiliate Marketing on July 8, 2009

Yesterday I came across two free reports, one promising to reveal the system for “stealing” massive affiliate commissions and the other offering me a $7.95 Marketing Plan. The last thing I want to do is to criticize or put down another fellow marketer, so they remain nameless. However their free report was just a shameless [...]
