Get As High as $5000 from Amazon.It's real!

Today I bring to you updates from amazon.com as they are on a new tour in their working system but before we go further what is amazon.com?

Amazon.com is a global website where thousands of merchants sell products through  Amazon.com, Amazon Marketplace, and their many subsidiary businesses. In addition, there are sister sites in Canada, China,
France,
Germany,Japan, and the UK.
They also offer the following:
- Commission opportunities through  the Associates program
- Authors can self-publish through  them
- Businesses can advertise on the site
- Merchants can sell products on the  site and have Amazon manage the  fulfillment by sending them the  inventory to ship to the customer.
Amazon.com is a full online retail store center. It allows anyone to buy or sell books, movies, clothes, toys, etc.
 The website consists of virtually more products than in probably any Walmart Retail Stores. You can search for any product and instantly you will find out who is selling it and how much it costs. Not only that but Amazon has the best prices in the market on many items.

I have used Amazon for many years now and I have never had any problems with it. It is practically the same thing as eBay except that you don't bid, and they are all new products, unless you click "buy used"     Today amazon.com introduces a new system "paid to quit",
 If you work for Amazon, that is In the company’s annual letter to shareholders, Amazon chief Jeff Bezos revealed what has to be the most counter-intuitive personnel policy in corporate America today: If an employee isn’t happy working at the online retail giant, they can earn up to $5,000 just for quitting.

Bezos describes it as one of the company’s “better ways to do things internally.” Called Pay To Quit, the program is “pretty simple,” Bezos says. “Once a year, we offer to pay our associates to quit. The first year the offer is made, it’s for $2,000. Then it goes up one thousand dollars a year until it reaches $5,000. The headline on the offer is ‘Please Don’t Take This Offer.’”Pay To Quit started at Amazon-owned Zappos, and the parent company adopted the concept for its fulfillment centers.

On one hand, it sounds backwards. Companies pay their employees to work, not to quit. Then again, this is a company that isn’t afraid to flirt with wacky ideas like delivering  merchandise via unmanned  drone aircraft.

In a Harvard Business Review  blog post-examining this practice at Zappos back in 2008, author and Fast Company co-founder Bill Taylor says the quit money (it was $1,000 per employee back then) worked out costing less than the online shoe retailer would have lost if unmotivated employees put the brakes on its fast-paced corporate culture. “Zappos wants to learn if there’s a bad fit between what makes the organization tick and what makes individual employees tick–and it’s willing to pay to learn sooner rather than later,” Taylor says.

In Amazon’s case, the aim is the same. “The goal is to encourage folks to take a moment and think about what they really want,” Bezos explains. “In the long-run, an employee staying somewhere they don’t want to be isn’t healthy for the employee or the company.”

 I must say this is so ridiculous and pretty amazing all together its so disgusting' perhaps its a good measure to maintain integrity and keep the standard of the company on high climax whats your say on this newly adopted program @ amazon.com paid to Quit'?

Check up 10 Twitter Tactics to Increase Sales

     Many of the most popular social media sites started as more of a personal place for friends to socialize but quickly became powerful tools for businesses to market their product and services.
Statistics will tell you that participating in social media networking can increase your business by leaps and bounds. Social media is now the number one activity on the web and it can yield more power for your business than ever.
Over 90% of marketers use social media for their business. Twitter is the second most popular social media site and should definitely be a part of your social marketing arsenal.
Below are ten tactics you can use to help increase your sales and make your business more successful.
1. Be Consistent - Nothing can kill a social media account like an inactive user. Don't think you can post once or twice a month and keep an active following. You have to be consistent and you have to participate. Work out a tweeting schedule and stick with it. Retweet items of interest. People are active at different times so tweeting items of interest one time will not achieve the results you need.
2. Always Respond to Comments - By always responding to a comment you are acknowledging that person and letting them know what they have to say is important to you. This will encourage more people to interact with you and build the relationship needed to form a lasting business connection. By responding promptly to all comments your credibility will flourish and your reputation will make itself known. Ignoring comments will make the potential lead for your business go away.
3. Develop Leads from Giveaways - Holding a giveaway on Twitter can not only bring you new leads, it can also improve your ranking in the search engines. Have people enter on a sign-up page and send a specific tweet. This tweet will contain your link and relevant keywords. You can also search for people who would be interested in winning your giveaway for more possible entries. If you are giving away a natural beauty kit, then use those keywords to find people who would want to win that prize. Let them know about your giveaway and what they have to do to enter. Once your giveaway is over you can use the list of entrants to screen out viable leads for your business.
4. Use Photos or Images - As you probably already know images and photos can greatly increase the response to a post or tweet so you should definitely take that into consideration. Emotions greatly influence what we buy and what we don't buy so use photos to bring out the emotions needed to trigger a person's decision to buy your products and/or services.
5. Specials and Discounts - Regularly tweet discounts, coupons and special offers. Let your followers know you always have something going on from which they will benefit. Be creative and make these specials unique. Holidays are a great time for fun promotions and contests. One that I have always like is an Easter Egg Hunt. Be the first one to find the hidden Easter egg on our site and get 50% off your first order. You could take it a step further and have different color eggs with each color offering a different prize.
6. Hashtags - By simply using hashtags, you can increase the chance of your tweet being found and read. People searching for specific tweets can find you through your hashtag. Your hashtag can also build your brand. Hashtags can stir up the buzz about a specific business or marketing campaign. For example: Domino's Pizza asked people to tweet with the hashtag #letsdolunch. Once a certain amount of tweets were posted, Domino's would then lower their prices by 50% for an allotted time. You can also use hashtags in your contests and giveaways.
7. Make It Mobile - Make sure you are mobile-friendly. More people are going mobile every day and you need to make sure your sites and pages can be viewed properly on mobile devices. Be sure to take advantage of Twitter's mobile features.
8. Share Testimonials - Periodically tweet short fresh testimonials from your customers. For example: Thank you John who says: using #ZitBeGone has given me more confidence to make every day a success! Tweets like this can help give a potential customer the boost they need to visit your site and possibly purchase your products.
9. Schedule Tweets - It is impossible for us to be on Twitter sending tweets 24/7 so the next best thing is to regularly schedule our tweets. When scheduling tweets, the first thing to do is determine the best times to tweet. A free tool that can help you find out the best times to tweet is Tweriod. They will analyze your followers' tweets to find out when they are active on Twitter and when you should be active as well. If you find these times to be difficult to tweet then you can use tools such as Hootsuite to schedule those tweets. By utilizing such tools, you can remain active at all times keeping your Twitter account more alive, thus attracting more potential customers.
10. Search for Customers - You can use your Twitter account to search and find customers. By using keywords that relate to your products, you can find people who are talking about these products and you can then offer the solution they are seeking. Get involved in these discussions so you can make yourself available to help find the solution. Use the Twitter search function to find these leads. You can also use a tool called Tweetdeck to set up searches. Respond to these people quickly and make a connection. Many people will go with the first business to respond to their needs.
These ten tactics are just the tip of the social media iceberg. Use social media to its fullest capabilities and take the time to map out your strategy. Social media is here to stay so don't resist it, embrace it!

Super Profitable eBay Business

Well, it's about that time again. Time to talk about eBay! eBay is hot right now, and may even be hotter in the future. Many people from all walks of life and varying intelligence are making a great living by selling on eBay. And guess what? You can too. Not only do I believe in you, I want to give you some tips that can help you to succeed.
There are some essential things that you will want to do if you want to make it big on eBay. There's a little bit of selling that you have to do. You see on a site like Amazon, you can just list your item, and then wait until someone orders. And this is why a lot of people LOVE selling on Amazon. They get so much buyer traffic everyday, and the "selling process" is super easy. Well, eBay can be easy too.
I've seen $150 cell phones sell immediately on eBay with just a 5 sentence paragraph. Can you imagine putting up a website online, and then putting a product up on it, and writing 5 sentences about it, and having it sell quickly? More than likely, this is an improbable possibility for you.
Let's get into some quick tips on how you can have success on eBay. These techniques are proven to work, and they work whether you sell on eBay - or if you sell products on your own website also. If you want to improve your eBay sales, then you should pay attention to these strategies. Here's the first one:
1) Depending on what you sell, sell on "Half.com" also.
Remember Amazon? Well, "Half.com" is a sub-site of eBay that works under the same way that Amazon does. And items sell FAST here. But, they don't have as many categories as Amazon. On this sub-site, you can sell CD's, DVD's, books, textbooks, audio books, and more.
It's an easy way to make more money in your spare time, and all you have to do is ship out items when they sell. Plus... it's a great way to boost your feedback score up SUPER fast. Your feedback score on "Half.com" transfers over and correlates to your main account on eBay. So great credibility builder here on this site. Here's another tip:
2) Do more direct advertising to your past customers
This is known as "backend marketing". This is basically the process of selling more of your products to the customers that you already have. This is where the bulk of your money online will come from. Even if you do 100% free advertising online, 80% of your total business income will come from your backend customers.
Imagine what you can do with them. You can sell them more products in your eBay inventory. You can sell them a $500 package. You can sell them into a $2000 seminar. You can sell them into a $20/month continuity program. And etc. There's a lot of money to be made here. It's up to you to go and get it.
Selling on eBay can be a breeze if you know what to do. Get some experience, learn how to sell on it, and don't forget basic direct response and internet marketing techniques - so that you can get more visitors to your auctions. Good luck!
