Increase
Your Retirement Savings With a Home Business
By John
McRae
 With
the current financial situation many people
are concerned about their retirement income.
As the stock market falls and large
financial institutions fail the average
investor has seen their retirement nest egg
get substantially smaller.
The days of working for one company your
whole adult life and then retiring with a
pension have long since passed and it is up
to the individual to secure their retirement
savings. Many baby boomers realized this
early on and planned accordingly;
unfortunately many did not and are now
beginning to realize that they will need
extra income for retirement.

Getting the
Small Business Start Up Help That You Need
By Alan
Mater
 When
you first decide to start your own small
business, you realize you can use all the
start up help you can get. The federal
government can be a great source for

THE
CHANGING WORLD OF EBAY
 By
CLIFFORD R. ENNICO
“I’ve been selling on eBay the past
several years, but frankly I’m thinking
of quitting. It’s just getting too hard
to sell on the site, eBay keeps changing
the rules every few weeks, and these
rule changes seem to favor the big
retailers over the little people who
made eBay what it is today. Other
sellers I know have shifted to Amazon
and other sites, but I’m afraid I will
be ‘lost in the crowd’ if I start
listing there. Is there a way that small
online retailers can continue to be
successful on eBay?”
It’s no secret. It’s getting harder and
harder to build a successful eBay
selling business. Not only is the
competition greater than ever before
(between 700,000 and 800,000 sellers in
the United States alone), but eBay
itself is making it tougher for sellers
to succeed by “raising the bar” for
people it will allow to sell on the
site.
