How to Start a Cell Phone Affiliate Site (9 Steps)

Buy a domain name and hosting for your cell phone affiliate site if you don't already have these in place. Think of a domain name that will indicate that your site is related to the cell phone or wireless technology industry. Look for a Web host that includes Fantastico or a similar control panel that gives you the ability to upload scripts and programs with one click. Purchase a basic $7 to $15 monthly hosting hosting service because this is all you will need for a cell phone affiliate website. Web hosting services include HostGator, GoDaddy and FatCow.
Upload a content management system (CMS) program to your website through your hosting control panel. Content management systems such as Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal make creating a website easy and intuitive for the end-user. Look for and install a premium theme or template on your site for your CMS. TemplateMonster, Woo Themes and ThemeForest all contain premium CMS themes that can be used for your cell phone affiliate site.
Modify the CMS theme through your administrative or control panel. Give your website a catchy name related to the cell phone industry and place this name in the header of your site. Modify color schemes and other page elements of your site to match your technology theme.
Start your website by adding content related to the cell phone and/or technology industry. Review trusted technology magazine websites such as PCMag.com and SmartphoneMag.com to find out the latest news in the technology and cell phone industries. Make a couple blog posts on your site or create separate pages devoted to the latest cell phone products, consumer deals within the industry or related news. Each program is different, but some cell phone affiliate programs may prefer affiliates who have sites related to the industry.

How to Make Money on eBay as a Full Time Seller

If you are new to eBay, you will need to open an account and learn how the site works. Visit to take the eBay Seller Audio Tour. (Visit http://pages.ebay.com/education/howtosell/index.html)You will also want to buy a few things on eBay before you try to sell anything. You will need to build your feedback score. Most customers are not comfortable buying from a seller with zero or very little feedback. Take some time to learn about the site and establish your reputation.
Next, decide what you will sell. Investigate different options for obtaining your inventory. (See my eHow article titled, 'How to Decide What to Sell on eBay.')
You do not need to work with a drop shipper or wholesaler. You can easily find items to sell at thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, consignment stores, drug stores like CVS and Walgreens, and WalMart. See the articles on the sidebar for further information on where to find your inventory.
Start off small and slowly. Experiment with different products to find out what works best for you. Set goals for yourself regarding how many items you will list each day or week. Once you start making a profit, reinvest the profits to purchase more inventory and grow your business at a rate you are comfortable with. Ease into your eBay business, you cannot build it overnight.
Have a back-up source of income for the first few months. You may want to take on a part-time job to supplement your eBay income until your business takes off. eBay is like retail - it is cyclical. Some months will be better than others. Your eBay income and profits will fluctuate from month to month. Give yourself some time to understand the cycles of eBay and how the money flows before you depend on eBay for 100% of your income.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The consumer market can be unpredictable. Offering a variety of products will enable you to cross-sell to existing customers, as well as attract new customers. For example, if your main product line is clothing, you may also want to offer shoes and accessories. If your main product line is baby items, offer maternity items, prenatal vitamins, early childhood learning products, or child safety products.
Be prepared to evolve with eBay and the changing consumer market. If you don't have success at first, don't give up. Most eBay sellers fail because they give up too quickly. Ask for help. Try different products. Do research on the internet. There is no one magic product that sells for big profit all the time. (If that was the case, everyone selling on eBay would be rich.) Don't be afraid to experiment and try new things. You may have to adjust your key words, change your photos, revise your item description, or fine-tune your pricing to find a formula that works. eBay is about evolving with the market, understanding what customers want, selling the right products at the right time, and experimenting.
Expect to work at your eBay business just like you would at a traditional job, maybe even more. Many people think that eBay is just sitting at a computer watching the profits roll in. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many sellers fail because they expect success (and big money) too quickly. It takes time to build your eBay business. Be patient, work hard, put in the hours, and the money will come.
Find support groups and talk with other sellers. If you are having a problem with a customer or an issue with eBay, chances are that another seller has 'been there, done that' and can offer advice or a solution. Don't be afraid to ask for help - plenty of experienced sellers are out there and are more than happy to help a newcomer. Look for eBay groups on Facebook, Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, and the WAHM.com message board.
Continue to educate yourself. Read blogs about eBay selling, check the eBay announcement board, listen to podcasts, look on YouTube for videos, and network with other sellers. eBay changes every day. Keep your eyes and ears open for news about the eBay marketplace that may affect your business.

How to Earn Girl Scout Badges (6 Steps)

Join the Girl Scouts of America, if you're not already a member. Find a local council on the Girl Scout website and use the contact information to get in touch with them. You can also fill out the contact form on the website to have someone contact you. Pay any membership dues and purchase a uniform through the website or through your local chapter. Depending on your grade in school, you will be placed into a particular Girl Scout level: Daisy (grades K and 1), Brownie (grades 2 and 3), Junior (grades 4 and 5), Cadette (grades 6 and 8), Senior (grades 9 and 10) or Ambassador (grades 11 and 12).
Purchase a Girl Scout Handbook and Badge Book from the Girl Scout website or from your local Girl Scout chapter. Select the badges that would be reasonable for you to earn and read the sections in each book pertaining to those badges. Study the diagrams and how-to's listed for each badge.
Talk with your troop leader about the badges you wish to receive, discussing and organizing the actions you'll have to take and the ways to safely carry out any necessary activities or trips.
Perform the required activity for badges requiring a specific task. Earn badges such as the drawing and painting badge, the sew simple badge and the puzzlers badge by completing the corresponding tasks on your own or with adult supervision, depending on your age. Once completed, the troop leader or another adult must examine the project.
Obtain badges by visiting destinations with your troop. The hiker, camp together and horse rider badges can all be earned by traveling to different places with the troop.
Participate in your troop's activities to earn badges. The asthma awareness badge, the cookie connection badge and the global action badge are examples of badges that can be earned through group activities.
