Got Used Items To Sell?

Posted on by ModGirl

So, I acquired a new domain recently and thought I would put it to good use by creating a website for it. This has taken me awhile because about a week before Thanksgiving got here my back was giving me a fit. So, I would sit at the computer for awhile and then when I couldn’t sit here any longer I would have to stop and then go lie down for a bit. And anyone who has a bad back knows exactly what I’m talking about. Because when your back goes out, you’re not any good to do anything except go see the chiropractor or lie flat on your back until the pain goes away. And since I don’t take any drugs of any kind (not even aspirin or tylenol) I have to stop whatever I am doing to take care of the problem, and for me, that means laying down until my back feels better.

Anyway, enough about my back problems, lol.  The domain is called “Slightly Used Items” and I created a fresh new site using that domain name. But before I sat down and created the site I had to decide what to use so members could post the items they wanted to sell and I thought it should be something easy to understand  and something they could do easily. So, instead of adding some sort of script that would control the operation I decided just creating a forum would be much easier.

Now, the forum will be available for anyone to view,  but in order to post anything for sale or to reply to the seller, you will first need to purchase a subscription. And, I have decided on 2 subscription levels; a 6 month and 1 year. And I decided that adding a 6 month would come in handy for those who wanted to “try it out” before making a commitment for a longer period.

Okay, so right about now you’re thinking well why wouldn’t people find selling there used items in a yard sale of renting space at a flea market be easier? Well, yeah. I guess that would be easier if you have the time, if you have the strength to move stuff from one place to the other or if you have the space to be able to do that like a big front yard. And another thing to consider is that maybe someone doesn’t have a lot of stuff to sell. Maybe 1 or 2 items is all they want to get rid of and they want to be able to sell those things without having to go through all the trouble.

Revamped My Scrapbook Freebies Site!

Posted on by ModGirl

So, I recently updated my scrapbook freebies website. When I created it the last time, there were only 4 freebies available for download. Now, you’ll find a whole lot more freebies added to the site along with a complete overhaul of the site too. So, it will look much different than it did before but hopefully it will be to your liking, lol.

Before my old computer died I added all my scrapbook freebies to an external hard drive for storage. And I was recently looking in some of those folders and found all sorts of stuff that I would like to share. So, I have been slowly adding them all to the site. And there are so many to add, that it will take a little while before I can post them all to my site. Oh, and because they use so much web space I decided to upload them all to MediaFire.  So when you click on any of the links for my scrapbook freebies, you’ll automatically be transported to MediaFire to download them.

Anyway, that site has been updated and I have also been considering adding my shop back for my scrapbook kits too. I have a lot of scrapbook kits that I have made over the years and at the moment I have them for sale using the Buy My Store type of product. All my kits are stored in a password protected area on my site, so after your payment, you’ll receive the link to the site along with a user name and password to login to it.

I think that about does it for the updates of my sites at the moment. And I will keep you updated is there is anything else going on, lol. Thanks for stopping by and hugs, Mod Girl.

A Few Changes

Posted on by ModGirl

So, you’re probably thinking. Wow, there is a lot of changes going on with you lately. And you’d be right about that, lol. I have a habit of collecting domain names. Domain names are a good investment because you can use them for websites and then mature the domains and resell them later to make a profit from them. I have done this in the past and made a good living doing so. However when the dot com bubble burst there were many who were left with domains that they couldn’t use or some that they wanted to get rid of rather cheaply. I was able to collect some pretty good domains when that happened and I still enjoy buying domains if I think I can either use the domain or mature the domain and then sell it later down the road.

Anyway, that is one of the reasons why things may change for me. So, I have a couple of new domains that I purchased lately; junkjournalpaper.com and htmlstationery.com

The Junk Journal Paper site is already created and I have added a lot of papers there already. But the second domain; HTML Stationery is one I am working on right now. And so far I have created the site but I haven’t yet added any email stationery to it. I will do that shortly but I also wanted to update you about my modgirldesign.com website. I have removed that site because the 2 primary things I was sharing there were the 2 things I am now sharing on the 2 new domains I purchased; Junk Journal Paper and HTML Stationery. And since I now have the sites to match the names of the things that I’ll be sharing I didn’t feel the need for the domain name Mod Girl Design any longer.

I know, it’s a lot to take in but there IS a method to my madness, lol. The reason why I wanted to have domains that best describes what I’ll be sharing is because the search engines will pick up those domains a lot quicker because of that. They look for whatever your site description is and if the domain name coincides with that name then that works to your advantage. And the best way to have more visitors to your site is to get better searches in search engines. Do you get what I’m telling you now? I hope so. I mean it isn’t really that hard to understand when you think about it but I didn’t want some of you to think that I am a crazy loon or something with all the changes I make to my websites. I mean, sure I might be a little crazy but then, who isn’t these days? lol.

And with that, I will call it a day. Thanks for stopping by and hugs, Mod Girl.

New Site!

Posted on by ModGirl

I created a new site so I could sell my printable papers. The papers are created for junk journal designers but can also be used for other things too. Things like, purses, bags, pillows, t-shirts, printable calendars, hats, decals, pillow cases, clothing, crafts, jewelry, etc…

Inside my shop are a multitude of papers in assorted styles and themes. Just yesterday I added 26 new sets of papers to the shop and each day I am creating more. And if you visit my shop and make a purchase I have also added a coupon code that you can use to save 50 percent on your entire order. And when you send me an email, use social media to spread the word about my shop or leave a comment at my site I will send you a coupon code that you can use on your next purchase also. So, not only are you going to get a lot of great papers but you can save a few bucks each time you shop in my store as well! Nice huh?

Yeah, I thought so too, lol. Anyway, the link to my shop is below if you’re interested and thanks for stopping by today!

Back to making tags!

Posted on by ModGirl

Okay, so I have missed making tags and thought I would start offering them again in my tag group. Now, I did have to re-create my tag group because I had closed it without thinking that I would be making tags again someday, lol. Oh, and I added all my members back to the group (that I could think of) so if you don’t receive any tag offers in your email in the next week or so, you might want to join the group. You can find it HERE.

Also, I don’t know if you remember me telling you this before but a few years ago I purchased some tubes from VeryMany but then there was a problem with her shop and I could no longer purchase her tubes. I think it had something to do with the country she lives in and the strict rules they had created. Now, she must have either changed where her shop is located or something happened because I can now purchase her tubes without any problem. So, I have been trying to purchase some of her tubes whenever she has a sale. So, far I have purchased quite a lot of her tubes and there will be many more that I plan on purchasing in the future also.

And because I have been buying so many of her tubes I will be making a lot of tags with her tubes so if you like her art you are really going to like the new tags I’ll be making, lol. Anyway, just wanted to let you know about that.

Thanks for stopping by and hugs, Mod Girl.
