Sell Stuff…..Make Money

One of the best features of eSellStuf.com is it’s army of affiliates who make money off items that are sold. Affiliates can now make dollars instead of cents by helping others sell their stuff. Because of this, Internet Marketers also have an additional outlet of attracting traffic to their offers by using the affiliates.  And with an easy to use admin module, affiliates are happy with the reports available and the mass pay feature to pay affiliates.  Affiliates can find items to sell by using the site’s unique pictorial search navigation.

Because eSellStuff.com doesn’t charge a transaction fee like eBay , buyers spend less and the sellers keep more of their money.

Sites like eBay aren’t so important anymore.  A user can list their item for sale on their own web page and get their friends involved in the sale.  And not having to pay a fee to list the item, they make more money.  That’s what it’s all about.  With eSellStuff.com, anyone can sell anything anywhere on the net.  And so can their friends.  For instance, instead of selling your motorcycle on eBay, I can just post the ad on my website or Craig’s List using eSellStuff’s M.O.B. Widget.  The widget handles both inventory and the amount of time to show the item for sale.

When most people think of selling online, they think of eBay (an auction site) or possibly Craig’s List (a classified ad site). To eSellStuff.com, eBay and Craig’s List are primitive ways of selling stuff online. Selling beyond eBay using eSellStuff.com can yield more profits to the seller.  And using a Web 2.0 architecture methodology, eSellStuff.com makes it easy for the seller to place an item for sale. In some cases, the reach of an eSellStuff item for sale is broader than audiences of eBay and Craig’s List.  Instead of waiting for someone to search for an item to buy, eSellStuff.com pushes the item for sale to audiences who already have an interest in that particular category of goods.

eSellStuff.com is revolutionizing how stuff is sold on the Internet.  That’s a big claim. But if you consider adding inventory control to payment processors like PayPal and taking Google Adsense to the next level by communicating the status of the sale through it’s ads, it may stand up to the claim. Like Google Adsense, the site uses ads. But unlike Adsense, affiliates earn dollars off the sale of the items being advertised rather than cents when an ad is clicked. This helps eliminate the fraud that can occur with the existing pay per click structure and gives affiliates more of an incentive to display ads. And the sites takes a ‘point and go’ approach navigation.

By using eSellStuff’s M.O.B. widget, selling is brought down to the personal level.  Advertising something for sale on a personal web page, the seller is essentially saying “this is who I am and this is my ‘car’ for sale”.  And all my friends have a M.O.B. widget and they are also helping me sell my ‘car’ on their web pages.

eSellStuff.com offers widgets that are just for fun too. The site has a countdown timer widget that contains a personalized hidden message at the end. It can display endearment messages such as “I Love You” or more surprise messages such as “Will You Marry Me?” or “You’re Invited”. The unique part is the widget is encrypted and so the countdown timer widget can’t be broken. It’s not in javascript or stored in a cookie. It can also be sent via a cell phone.

As I was reading the New York Times, the main headline of the paper read, “They Want It Now!”. Who wants what now? It mentioned something about the arrival of widget 2.0.  Needless to say, I had to go and find out the meaning of widget 2.0.  Now I’ve heard of web 2.0, but not widget 2.0.  So the following is a journal about my quest to find the meaning of widget 2.0.

I started out in my hometown York, PA at the nearby Borders bookstore.  Books on Web 2.o, Javascript, Ajax and Flash where abundantly displayed.  Certainly the materials of widget 2.0, right?  After all, widget 1.0 must refer back to the days of the sock puppet from pets.com.  The days when you had to actually PAY money to use a web site.  Remember boo.com, the site that failed before it even started?  Yeah, the days of web 1.0.  A blast from the past, widget 1.0 - link counters and static banner ads.

After reading every title and scanning every chapter of every book at Borders and finding nothing about widget 2.0, I decided to take my quest online.  I started out at Amazon.  If widget 2.0 meant anything, there must be a book about it somewhere.  Again, nothing was found to help me out.  But I did find this good book on Professional Web Widgets.  You should check it out.

Remembering my gaming days, I recalled a widget called the Thorium Widget.  Could this be the answer?  To my dismay, the recipe to make a Thorium Widget did not include widget 2.0.

Hmmm…. so I thought I would give Flickr a try.  Surprisingly enough, there were a ton of hits on the keyword widgets.  Lots and lots of stuff about widgets were on Flickr.  The only appealing result was looking at widget in the shower.  But again, widget 2.0 continued to intrigue me.

After trying a Google search, I found this cool blog about widgets, gadgets and web 2.0.  It even suggested snap.com was a top 10 widget to use on the Internet.  But still no discussion on the synergy between web 2.0 and widget 2.0.

A Wikipedia search on widgets says that a widget is “anything that can be embedded within a page of HTML, i.e. a web page.  A widget adds some content to that page that is not static.  Generally widgets are third party originated, though they can be home made.  Widgets are also known as modules, snippets, and plug-ins.”  And Wikipedia is supposed to be up to date.  Widget 2.0 wasn’t even mentioned!

And then there is widget from Myspace who says “im widget, im 4′11 short and get outa my face if i dont know you”.  Interesting yes, but still nothing about widget 2.0.

Just when I was about to give up, I searched on YouTube.  Who would of thought there would be a video exactly about a man on a quest to find the meaning of widget 2.0.  The video says the answer lies within www.squidoo.com/widget-20:

Web 2.0 proves we are no longer living in an Internet world of closure and limits.   Widgets are founded on a collaboration of efforts to design free and open source software that encourages cross-website synergy.  Therefore, Widget 2.0 uses the Internet as a platform to propagate an enriching experience across multiple websites for the Internet community as a whole.  It is a radical new distribution model fundamentally changing the way content is disseminated on the Web.

Finally, the definition of widget 2.0.   But I would be a miss if I didn’t share one of the better widget 2.0 designs discussed on that squidoo lens.  It’s called Snap Shots from snap.com.  With snap shots you can upgrade your user experience and profit from with Snap Shares. 

Also mentioned on the widget 2.0 page was a new methodology of buying and selling on the Internet using a massive online buying widget.  That sounded pretty cool too!  A rival to eBay possibly?

Neat IPHONE widgets from AAPL were also mentioned.

My quest to find the meaning of widget 2.0 was over so I decided to relax and watch a good old movie called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.  Too bad there aren’t any good songs about widgets, I guess I’ll just kick back and listen to some good Electro vibes from Freezepop.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
