I have been trying to sell one item on Ebay for the past 3 weeks and just could not figure out why the number of scammers had gone up through the roof.

First Discrepancy
The first time I added the item, I had a bidder who had four positive feedback points. What was weird was that all the four comments were completely negative. I was wondering what was wrong with the sellers. According to all four of them the guy was scamming and still the feedback rating was positive.

Disappearing Act Number One
Next when my item sold, the buyer just disappeared. It was only when I mentioned that I will open an unpaid items dispute that he contacted Ebay and told them his account was misused. Talk about convenient.

I was forced to think about this yesterday.

I received an email via my design website DotsnDashes.

The email was sent using my contact form. Now I get many different emails via that medium. Some ask for quotes, others for link building, some for information and so on. On average, they are normal emails, some casual, some formal but none bordering on rudeness. However, the one I received yesterday was a tiny bit different.

I’ll be able to explain more effectively if I show you how it starts:

That is not a question you think of when everything is working out alright. Not when you can get up in the morning and start work as soon as you are ready.

However, this is a question you are forced to face the moment your net dies on you. In my case it was my phone line. Since I have a DSL connection, that is pretty much the same thing. What makes matters worse is the company I have my phone line and DSL connection from chose this very moment to be a chaotic mess. In other words, I cannot get someone to get my phone line and DSL connection back up.

Three full days without the Internet. Let me tell you it wasn’t fun. It is sad but I cannot remember what I used to do in the pre-Internet era. How did I spend my day? How did I pass my time?

Since I work from home and all my work is Internet related, my entire work world revolves around having a stable Internet connection. So living without the Internet wasn’t very pleasant.

Anyway the good news is I now have a wireless connection so no more dependency on the phone line. And that feels great! It is good to be back

So what do you think your life will be like if you lost your Internet connection for three days?

How would you like to be able to download hundreds of free ebooks, software and other useful tools? To top that off, how would you like to build your list to glorious new heights all at the same time?

If you have never participated in a giveaway, let me tell you this is one of the best ways to increase your subscriber base. And some of the products you get to download are fabulous - some even come with PLR and MRR rights so you can do whatever you want with them.

The only catch here is that in order to build your list you have to offer some kind of a gift to entice them to join. Once they have subscribed to your list, they will receive your free gift. True some people may just join for the gift and unsub asap. But by experience I would say most of them stay. After that it is up to the quality of your content to keep them on the list.

So here are 3 of the JV Giveaways I am currently participating in. Go add your gifts here asap and start building your list. Some of these sites are going to be getting massive traffic soon so you don’t want to miss out on that.
