Ideas for your Amazon business...

So, if your not selling you family silver, where do you get stock to sell on at a profit? Well, as I've told you, my main source is eBay, but it does have its limitations. A site I have used to get new stock to sell on Amazon UK / Amazon Marketplace is Alibaba: http://www.alibaba.com/ This is a site where you can buy things direct from manufacturers around the world, mostly in China, India and the USA. It's great because it's cheap but they only sell some brands and sometimes there's a minimum order number. However I used this site to make a killing from table tennis bats last summer, you've got to make the most of chances while they're there! In other news, I handed in my last piece for GCSE English Language today, so that's finished. Yay!

Another from my calendar of funny exam question answers. How did you do on your weekend challenges?

Your Weekend Challenges ...

Okay, here's a few thing to try over this weekend which will either give you a cool party trick or at least make you laugh while you attempt them:

1. Perfect your Russian accent (I'm going to try to speak with a Russian accent all of tomorrow morning!)
                                                 

2. Learn to Moonwalk like Michael Jackson. Watch this video if you're choosing this one: 

3. Learn to Shuffle Cards like a Pro. You've probably all watched in awe as someone makes cards seem to fly about while they shuffle them, now you can learn to do it too!

Go on, you know you want to try them! You could even try them all at once, you'll definitely get a laugh!

What a Great Friday!

I hope you readers have all had a good day (and you're reading this blog instead of doing work!). I did a GCSE French Written Controlled Assessment about an imaginary holiday and it was a breeze despite the only work I did at home for it was to read through it once! On top of that, when I got home my emails told me I'd sold some more Amazon stock (don't forget to try it out for yourself) so I've posted that off and made a hefty profit.

Anyway, for the rest of my three hours of French (I know, 3 hours!) I got hooked on this game: 
 
P.S. Use the arrow keys and space bar to move and fire! Enjoy!

All the Free Stuff I've Been Sent in the Last Month...

Sorry I didn't post this yesterday, but here's the photo of all the free stuff I've been sent so far in April, just from sending a few emails (including the Nikon CoolPix S2700 Camera I took the photo with)

Get free stuff instead of doing homework!

Here's another thing I do in my spare time instead of homework, I get stuff for free! I only started doing this out of interest to see if any companies actually would send me something for free. I haven't perfected my technique yet by any means but I've managed to get some pretty good stuff. After I've written this I'll post a photo of all the stuff I've got for free, the best thing I've got won't be shown because I'll use it to take the photo, a Nikon CoolPix S2700. I got this by contacting my local electronics store. 

Thought I should at least link to the Nikon CoolPix S2700 Camera so you guys can check it out and realise how much you can get just by sending a few emails to the right people. I find that I have a better success rate if I point out what I'll do that'll benefit the company (e.g. mention on my blog! or even just showing your "brand loyalty") Surely it's worth trying? I found branded t-shirts the easiest thing to get hold of when I started. Find the PR company of a brand you like, then email them and ask for a t-shirt so you can show off their brand, add in anything that you can do that will benefit them (but remember ... you do actually have to do it, so don't promise to win the Tour de France if they send you some shoes!) I actually do this for most new things I want, and if it doesn't work for you, you won't have lost a penny!

Pacman is so distracting from homework!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I went onto my laptop today to try to find an already written french script about my school ... but I got distracted. I figure that's good thing though because Pacman is much more interesting: 

Forget about whatever you're meant to be doing and enjoy!

Don't get me wrong...

So, in other news, I handed in all of my GCSE Art Coursework today, so no more art for me ever again! Yipee! I didn't enjoy Art, so I didn't do a single piece of work for it at home or in my spare time. But please don't get me wrong, I still want a decent grade in it, this isn't a blog about failing school completely. I did as much work as I could in class time, so I was basically finished weeks ago. I just wanted to point out that I'm not planning to fail, leave school with a bunch of Fs and stack shelves for the rest of my life (although if you read my post about my Amazon.co.uk business, you know I'll be okay). I'm going to succeed, but not sacrifice my home life on the way to get a few pieces of paper that are useful, but not the be-all and end-all. 
               not             

Anyway, here in sunny Great Britain, it's absolutely chucking it down. Surprised? So I'm going to start a piece of English coursework about texting tonight, maybe spend about half an hour doing it. If it's sunny where you live, do something outside, even if you don't normally.

Thought today's answer was worthy of a post!

My Amazon Business, How I Make £50 per Hour

Okay, I think it's time to tell you guys about one of the main things I spend my time doing instead of homework, I run an Amazon business. Some of you have probably gone already... but here's the thing, I make over £150 per month, sometimes over 3 times that, just buying things of Ebay and re-selling them on Amazon! That's like £50 an hour! I don't need a job at McDonalds, or cutting grass, or washing up. I make all that money from about 3 hours work on my computer per month. 

I just started off by selling some of my old toys, I've now developed it into a more sustainable business where I buy in stuff to sell. I set it all up in less than 1 hour, and if I sold all of my current stock right now, I'd have over £2000 profit in my pocket. Two grand .... for a few hours work a month. Now you're listening! Just go to Amazon.co.uk and type in the name of something you've got that you want to sell. Don't be disappointed if the first thing you search for is worth nothing, I've found other things that are like gold dust! Then click "Sell Yours" on the right hand side, Amazon will take you from then. Surely it's worth a try... and much more profitable than homework! Do it now!

I'm going to post some of the funnier pages from my daily calendar from now, this one made me laugh. I might use it if I end up doing that maths paper haha!

Which would you choose?

So this morning when I woke up I had the choice of either a maths past paper or running up Winder, the hill behind my house. I chose Winder. A quick Google search told me that running (and yes, I did actually run) is great for your brain anyway cos it gets the blood flowing. So there, Mr Maths Teacher!

Don't waste your life doing homework!

As you may have gathered from the title of this post, I don't do all of my homework. I do some of it, probably about one third of the stuff that's set. I basically do enough so that I still get decent grades and don't get detentions. Seriously though, a lot of homework is a complete waste of time. You probably have at least one teacher that's forever setting homework that seems completely pointless and they can barely ever be bothered to mark it anyway. If they can't be bothered to do that, why should bother doing it?

I only do the work that fits in around my life. Just think, when it's over and you've finished school are you really going to look back and think "I wish I hadn't done all that awesome stuff, I wish I'd stayed at home and done my homework instead"? Cos I'm not! If you don't spend that hour doing homework, you may do one of the most important things in your whole life, you don't know what you could be missing! You might find a winning lottery ticket, save someone's life or have that incredible idea that changes your life forever. Or you could sit at a table and write out lines of answers to pointless questions. Your choice.

P.S. Don't choose the homework

Extra P.S. If you're reading this instead of doing homework, well done! Keep up the good work!

First Post

So, I've set up this blog instead of doing the homework I'm supposed to be doing. I have no idea what to right about, so we'll just see how it goes. If you're an alien reading this 500 years from now, please don't think that all humans spent their time writing stuff no-one would ever read. Thanks
