Writing Life Histories

Life story concept.Wouldn’t it be great for people to be able to easily compile biographies of their family members? Wouldn’t it be great if it were easy to publish these interviews and personal histories as actual books so they could be passed on to future generations?

Why is this so important? There are several reasons. Humans have always collected histories of the world and the people in the world. You and your family members are a big part of that. We can’t expect to understand life and be fulfilled in life if we don’t look to those who have come before us.

There is something really neat that comes from this in the form of self-reflection. What is the value of our life? Why do we do the things we do? What makes you the person you are today? This is all very important to explore. Taking a personal history helps you understand all of that.

Amazon FBA Retail Arbitrage, part 1

What Is Retail Arbitrage?

Retail arbitrage simply means to buy something low and sell it high. In the case of retail arbitrage for FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon, which is Amazon’s amazing service where they will hold your inventory, market it, take the customer’s payments, and pack and ship it for you), you’ll buy retail items, either online or offline, and sell them for more money on Amazon. It really is as simple as that.

Retail arbitrage is a lot of fun because you can do it in your spare time. Let’s say you’re shopping at Target or Walmart. You can simply head over to the clearance area, scan some of the items using one of the tools you’ve downloaded to your smartphone (such as ScanPower or ProfitBandit) and buy the items you know will be profitable.

Once you really start to get into this, you’ll be amazed at how many opportunities there are out there to profit in everyday stores, even in your local grocery store.

Some people who really get into this won’t let themselves leave a retail store until they know they will have profited enough to take care of all of their purchases – even the ones they are making for their household! That’s a really fun way to think about this business. It can pay for minor expenses and even build up into a full-time income.

You might be wondering if there really is that much profit potential out there. There definitely is. You can shop for a day and come away with thousands of dollars in profits, if you know what you’re doing.
