Simple Ways to Sell Items Online
EBay
EBay is one of the most widely used ways to sell items online. Membership is free to sign up. You set up an auction for your item. Use the site’s template to create the auction page. Upload a picture, write a product description, and set the length of the auction and initial bid. Customers bid on the item until the auction ends and submit payment through the site. EBay takes a percentage of the sale as a fee. The amount is based on the final sale price. You can set a reserve, which means if the bids don't reach a certain point, the item doesn't sell.
Online Craft Fairs
Online craft fair sites work well for people who want to sell hand-made items online. You set up a free virtual store and tag your items with various keywords to help consumers find the items. Some sites even allow consumers to request the types of items they want. Some online craft sites are Etsy, DaWanda and Lovli.
Social Networking
Sometimes, people have a built-in audience for their goods through friends and family. One of the most common ways to keep in touch with friends and family is through social networking. You can post information and pictures of your items on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. With some people having in excess of several hundred friends, the audience can be quite wide. Buy.com even offers a garage sale application for use on Facebook.
How to Make a Facebook Store Stand Out
Start Fresh
1.Research and compare e-commerce software providers and Facebook store applications. Pick one that you find easy to use and set up and fits your business needs.
2.Create an eye-catching logo that is representative of your business. Design it yourself, hire a graphic artist, or ask customers for help.
3.Make sure that your store is well organized. All photos should be in titled albums with thoughtful descriptions and information should be updated and complete.
4.Delete any tabs that aren’t currently being used and focus on quality content. Clear your wall, deleting any unwanted or unprofessional posts. Experiment with different features, trying only a few at a time. Starting simple is key.
Emphasize Your Products
1.Update your store often with new merchandise information and include many photos of your products. Communicate with your customers, letting them know when sold-out items will be restocked.
2.Use a professional to photograph your products. Barter with local photographers to receive services free of charge in exchange for promotion of their Facebook pages on your page. Create a signature look for your product photographs that ties them to the theme of your store and its logo.
3.Make sure to add a “Like” button on each item for sale in your external e-commerce site so that clients can promote your products.
Promote Your Store
1.Ask your customers and fans to help you promote. Encourage them to share your link by holding contests with incentives. Word of mouth about your store will travel faster with Facebook, and nothing attracts more attention than a large number of Facebook fans.
2.Get clients and fans involved with polls, Facebook only sales, discounts and offer prizes to fans who refer the most number of friends.
3.Ask customers to leave positive feedback directly on your Facebook page and to email you with any complaints.
4.Make your page as interactive as possible. Think of it as an e-store, a blog, a customer review and ranking page, a client forum and a promotional newsletter.
5.Cross-promote your brand by adding pages from complementary brands and services to your page, and by posting on their pages.
Behind the Scenes
1.Log in to your store often; respond to fan questions and comments, and verify links are in working order.
2.Use your name and photo to give customers a feel for who you are.
3.Track your statistics. Carefully read your Facebook feedback, observing what kind of posts have shown the most interaction and increased fans or sales.
4.Tweak your page preferences and settings for optimal use. If your customers are getting constant news feeds when you post, limit the number and keep them meaningful.
5.Visit other Facebook stores often to review successful promotions of other vendors.
Improve Your Home’s Wi-Fi Signal in Five Minutes
Wi-Fi is just radio waves, and many things can cause interference. But a strong Wi-Fi signal can give you faster performance and better coverage distance, so it’s important to properly position and configure your router for optimal signal strength. I’ll show you how; it just takes a few minutes.
Point the Antenna Up
Routers generally have physical antennas that are adjustable. The antenna often comes pointed horizontally to fit the router inside its box. For maximum signal strength, position your router’s antenna vertically, pointing straight up. If you have two antennas, you won’t get better performance by pointing them in different directions.
Position Your Router Properly
Consider where you put your router. If you have a large home or office, place the router close to the center to maximize coverage. If you position the router at one end of the building, you may have poor (or no) signal at the other end.But keep in mind that if you already have your router positioned at one end of your home and the signal strength is just fine on the other side, you don’t need to move it.
For maximum coverage, the router should also be high up. Placing it on the floor is the worst location possible – place it on a high shelf, if possible.
Don’t place the router on or near large metal objects, such as metal shelves or filing cabinets. These can block the signal. Metal or stone walls can also block Wi-Fi, while wood and plaster walls won’t cause any problems.
You might be able to root out other sources of interference. For example: microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and 2.4 GHz baby monitors all have the potential to interfere with a Wi-Fi signal. I’ve personally experienced a Wi-Fi signal to my laptop dying every time a microwave oven was turned on. The microwave oven was in direct line-of-sight between my laptop and the router. The solution? Move any one of them so that the microwave isn’t in between. If you get interference from a cordless phone, you might want to purchase newer 5.8 GHz cordless phones; these workon a frequency band other than Wi-Fi and don’t cause any interfere.
If you’re in an area with many different Wi-Fi networks — such as an apartment complex or even just a house close to other homes — your neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks are probably interfering with yours.
To minimize this, move your router further away from the other Wi-Fi access points, if you can. For example, if you’re in an apartment and have a router in the corner of your room, your neighbor’s router might be right on the other side of the wall.
But the best thing you can do is switch to a different Wi-Fi channel. You access this option on your router’s settings page — check your router’s instruction manual for instructions on how to do that. (If you don’t have the instruction manual, you can almost certainly find the instructions online.) Locate the Wi-Fi channel option in the router’s web interface and change it to a different channel with less interference.
It might take a little experimentation to find the best one, but you can get help choosing a Wi-Fi channel using the Wi-Fi Analyzer app for Android phones and tablets, which will monitor the Wi-Fi networks near you and recommend the least-cluttered Wi-Fi channel for your network. Unfortunately, similar apps aren’t available for iPhone or iPad due to the limitations Apple places on app developers.
That’s it — all you really have to do is position your router well and choose the ideal Wi-Fi channel to optimize your network. Of course, buying a new router that supports modern, improved Wi-Fi standards may also offer you a signal strength and speed boost.
How to Unlock the Touchpad on Laptops

2.Press and hold the "Fn" key, usually found in the lower left area of your keyboard.
3.Press the touchpad function key and then release both keys. If this does not enable your touchpad, try holding the "Fn" key down and pressing the touchpad function key twice in a row.
Shortcut Key Method
1.Press the Windows icon key on your keyboard and hold it down until the Start menu pops up. If your keyboard doesn't have a Windows icon, press "Ctrl-Esc" at the same time.
2.Use your arrow keys to locate the Control Panel and press "Enter."
3.Navigate to "Mouse" with your arrow keys and press "Enter" to open the mouse control dialog box. Then, press "Alt-F" together to access the tabs at the top of this box.
4.Navigate using the arrow keys to "Device Settings" or "Touchpad" or the similar option on your system and press "Enter."
5.Press the "Tab" key until the "Enable" option or a check box next to it highlights and then press "Enter." Press "Tab" again until you are highlighting "OK," and press "Enter." Your touchpad will be re-enabled.
How to Unlock a Keyboard on an HP Laptop
1.Power your laptop off completely.
2.Take the battery out of the laptop. Typically the battery is located underneath the laptop towards the top.
3.Leave the battery out for 30 seconds. This will allow the laptop to refresh itself.
4.Put the battery back into the laptop.
5.Power your computer on. Once your computer has rebooted, check to see if the keyboard is working.
6.Open the "Start" menu on your laptop, if the keyboard is still locked up.
7.Click on the Control Panel.
8.Go into the "Accessibility" options.
9.Open the tab labeled "Keyboard".
10.Make sure none of the boxes have a check in them. If the laptop has Microsoft Vista as the operating system, go to the "Ease of Access" option and go to "Change how your keyboard works." Make sure none of the boxes in that section are checked.
11.Click the "Save" button.
12.Exit the Control Panel and begin typing to see if the keyboard is now working.

Pengenalan Handphone AP Set & Original
Tahukan anda, kebanyakan model handphone sekarang telah mengeluarkan AP set yang mirip dengan original. Diingatkan anda supaya berhati-hati terutama semasa hendak membeli handphone baru. Terdapat beberapa perbezaaan antara handphone original dengan handphone AP set. Mari kita kongsikan bersama maklumat mengenai handphone ini memandangkan masih ramai lagi belum mengetahui akan hal ini.
Produk AP Set (Authorized Product) mempunyai kualiti yang sama 100% seperti Original tetapi, anda perlu tahu bahawa dia bukanlah pengedar yang diiktiraf oleh pengeluar handphone tersebut. Misalnya Nokia, Asia Mobile, uTNT dan VSCOM merupakan di antara pengedar AP Set bagi Nokia tetapi mereka tidak diiktiraf. Untuk original pula, Zithron dan Avaxx adalah pengedar Nokia yang sah. Perbezaaan Handphone Original vs AP Set
Pertama, dari segi warranty. Handphone original akan mendapat warranty dari syarikat pengeluar utamanya sendiri contohnya seperti Samsung mendapat warranty daripada Samsung Malaysia Electronic (SME) dan iphone dan ipad mendapat warranty daripada Apple. Jangkamasa warranty bergantung kepada syarikat terbabit. Selalunya warranty bagi handphone original adalah 12 bulan atau 24 bulan. untuk handphone AP pula, warranty adakah daripada syarikat yang mengedarkan handphone terbabit. Jadi warranty tersebut tidak akan diterima oleh mana-mana syarikat pengeluar utama. Sebarang kerosakan handphone AP mestilah dirujuk kepada syarikat atau kedai yang mereka beli.
Kedua, perbezaannya adalah dari segi harga. Harga AP Set adalah jauh lebih murah berbanding original. Bukan sikit tau tapu beratus jugak la perbezaan harga kedua handphone ni. Tapi AP Set selalunya tak dapat Free Gift seperti original dapat contohnya Galaxy Y AP Set takkan dapat 4 Free Back Cover.
Kalau anda tanya pendapat saya, saya akan beli handphone AP set. Mengapa? Kerana kualitinya adalah sama 100% dan cuma beza pada warranty sahaja. Saya nak tanya, adakah anda akan pergi ke Samsung SME contohnya jika anda pandai jaga handphone anda dengan baik? Sayang rasanya kita membazir, kalau kita pandai jaga nescaya handphone tu akan kekal lama dan takkan mudah rosak. Harga AP Set murah la, jadi dah ada penjimatan kat situ. Kalau AP Set murah RM200 daripada original? Teruja kan? RM200 tu boleh buat macam-macam la. Kalau nak makan pula, boleh kenyang lebih seminggu.
Cara Nak Kenal AP Set / Original / CLONE
1. Original warranty 1 tahun kebiasaannya bagi (Samsung,Nokia,Sony Ericsson, iPhone Etc) kecuali HTC dan Blackberry mempunyai 2 tahun warranty dari Brightstar / Brightpoint. Kadnagkala warranty Samsung juga ada 2 tahun bagi model yang baru keluar tetapi hanya boleh didapati di Samsung sahaja.
2. Kalau clone, pastikan anda check internal memory. Kebiasaannya internal memory handphone Clone adalah 2GB – 4 GB sahaja. Jarang ada 8GB dan sangat jarang untuk menjumpai 16GB. Contohnya Original Samsung Galaxy S3 adalah 16GB manakala S3 Clone yang banyak dijual yang mempunyai rupa yang mirip dengan S3 Original adalah 4GB sahaja.
3. Pastikan ada sticker Original di belakang tempat letak battery. Kebiasannya akan terdapat 1 stocker berbentuk bulat. Contohnya Samsung = Sticker bulat ada logo samsung dan bersaiz kecil sahaja.

Android 5.0
Google’s recently released Android 5.0 mobile operating system is currently running on fewer than 0.1 percent of handsets, according to data released by the company. The new software, code-named ‘Lollipop,’ was made generally available November 12. Carriers are currently rolling Lollipop out to consumers, according to their own schedule.
The limited uptake of Android’s fifth version so far underscores a wider problem in the mobile world: Fragmentation. It took Windows Phone 8.1, for example, nearly half a year to make it to the 50 percent market share mark. And as Wired notes, Apple is seeing slower adoption of its new iOS 8 than some expected.
Current reports indicate that Lollipop is seeing increasing over-the-air updates, which could quickly push its market share numbers higher. Google was not immediately available to comment on the current Lollipop figures.
However, even if Lollipop manages to grow its share of the Android install base through the end of the year, it will likely face an adoption ceiling. Currently, the most popular version of Android is KitKat, or Android 4.4. It commands 33.9 percent market share. There are six versions of Android at current tip that have more than 7 percent market share, for reference. Given that, it seems doubtful that Lollipop itself will do much better than the 30 percent mark, unless something in its ecosystem changes.
Looking backwards, we can compare the current rollout of Lollipop to the KitKat release. The first time KitKat hit the charts, it had 0.01 percent market share. The next month, that tally inched up to 1.11 percent. The next month, 2.94 percent. So the initial incline can be shallow for new Android builds.
Operating system fragmentation makes the work of developers more difficult. If the install base of phones that you’re building for not only have a wide array of screen sizes, but also firmware, building an app that will work for the majority of users can be difficult. This applies to all three platforms, of course.

Strategies to Help You Sell More Products Online
The great thing about living and working in the digital age is the
ability to connect directly with your customers online. And social media
sites are one of the most effective ways to access potential customers.
As long as you know how to make your status updates, tweets, and
Instagram or Pinterest photos stand out from the rest, you can lure in
potential new clients and generate more sales for your online business.
Be Consistent in Terms of How Often You Post Updates
If you plan on using social media to target new customers, the key is consistency. You need to have a schedule that you can follow easily for posting new updates. If you are only posting sporadically on the other hand, you will not be able to generate enough of a buzz to get people interested in what you are doing, and you will not be able to reach the audience that you need to target in order to get more people to buy your products or services.Be Consistent in Terms of the Subject of Your Posts
Another key component to a successful social media marketing campaign is the ability to be consistent when it comes to the subject of your posts. Rather than posting about one product or service in the morning and then promoting another product or service in a completely different category a mere few hours later, try to focus in on just one product or one service and then promote it consistently for a period of time. This will help you reach new clients more effectively than spreading your message too thin.Keep Blogging
In addition to helping you with your SEO campaign, blogging on a regular basis also ensures that fresh content will always be available on your website. And by keeping your website fresh with new information and ideas, you will be proving to your audience that your business is on top of the latest and best trends and that you are knowledgeable and you work hard every day to stay ahead of the competition. By letting your blog stagnate, on the other hand, your customers will fail to realise just how good you are at what you do and they may forget about you altogether.Use Images and Videos Wherever Possible
From your blogs to your social media updates, try to incorporate many graphical elements that are eye-catching and attention grabbing, especially if you use Instagram and Pinterest to get your message out there. Professional product photographs, for example, will ensure that customers see every detail of your high quality items, whereas videos can be a great way to show how knowledgeable you are or how effective your products are.Post Statuses at the Most Opportune Times
People seem to use their social media pages more during specific hours of the day, such as during the lunch hour or after getting home from work, when they can relax and take some time to connect. Therefore, post your updates during these hours, as you increase the odds of more people seeing them.Samsung S5 diperkenalkan di Mobile World Congress 2014

Apple iPad mini 2
The iPad mini with Retina screen is everything the little tablet
deserved to be - a more compact equal of the bigger iPad with no
compromises made. And unfortunately, it's just one thing short of what
we all thought a compact tablet should be - cheap. Well, Apple isn't
exactly known for selling cheap, it's quite on the contrary.
Last year's iPad mini was more of a byproduct of the iPad lineup - with a significantly cheaper price, a different design and somewhat inferior hardware, the baby iPad was quite different to its full size sibling. This year marks a shift in Apple's product strategy. Now, the two new iPads are equals - with the mini being merely a scaled down version of the same spectacular screen tech and the same high-performance internals.
There's been no corner cutting this time and the new iPad mini is more expensive as a result. We guess the price hike comes only to highlight the iPad mini's new standing in the pecking order - it's no longer the budget option - it's the more portable version of the same flagship product. A lower price point would have also hurt the big iPad sales because the two tablets are not at all that different.
You would actually be amazed how identical the two look. But that's a good thing in a sense. Users no longer have to pick one of the two based on feature set or design, or bezel size for that matter. Now, you can just pick the size that's right for you. The high-end user experience is all there without any give or take.

Comparing it to its predecessor, the Apple iPad mini with Retina screen looks no different either, but that's until you turn it on. The new screen is impressively sharp and the new chipset is blazing fast, meaning loading times in most apps are noticeably faster now. The Wi-Fi speeds have doubled, there is a seriously bigger battery inside, there is a second mic for noise cancellation and now you have a brand new 128GB version, if you've got the money to burn - the last generation iPad mini maxed out at 64GB.
The new dual-core 64-bit A7 chipset inside the new mini jumps two generations ahead of the A5 processor in the original. It's not that the older mini was sluggish, but the new device is notably faster and more responsive in almost all apps we tried.
Last season's bigger iPad at least had the luxury of being more powerful but those days are gone. Now the two size of iPads have equally good specs, which kinda puts the iPad Air in a sticky position. It's true that the bigger Air is easier to carry than any other full-size iPad and the slimmer frame helps single-handed operation but there's no avoiding the fact that the iPad mini is the friendlier form factor.
The iPad mini's handling and portability could be the big decider for a lot of people who are eyeing a new iPad for Christmas. To be honest, we don't think Apple will mind no matter which one you pick.

The new dual-core 64-bit A7 chipset inside the new mini jumps two generations ahead of the A5 processor in the original. It's not that the older mini was sluggish, but the new device is notably faster and more responsive in almost all apps we tried.
Last season's bigger iPad at least had the luxury of being more powerful but those days are gone. Now the two size of iPads have equally good specs, which kinda puts the iPad Air in a sticky position. It's true that the bigger Air is easier to carry than any other full-size iPad and the slimmer frame helps single-handed operation but there's no avoiding the fact that the iPad mini is the friendlier form factor.
The iPad mini's handling and portability could be the big decider for a lot of people who are eyeing a new iPad for Christmas. To be honest, we don't think Apple will mind no matter which one you pick.
