Importing Products to Sell on eBay
The interesting thing about online buyers is they are extremely price sensitive. A survey done by Forrester Research shows that 73 percent of surveyed online buyers expect prices on the Internet to be cheaper than in stores. No wonder auction marketplaces are thriving. Among the most popular auction marketplaces growth of eBay is especially notable! Its market

After visiting uTube.com, I am now convinced the real story is Universal Tube. Any company that can put an exclamation mark after a statement like "we are committed to being the number one supplier of used tube & pipe equipment in the world" and puts out press releases on Saturdays is clearly worthy of an investor's attention.

Sadly, Universal Tube appears to be a privately held concern.

Traffic at uTube.com recently jumped more than 440%. The website is operated by Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation a company that "specializes in buying and selling used tube mills, used pipe mills and used rollforming machines".

On its homepage, the company proudly proclaims:

"Our machines are stored in our 125,000 Sq. Ft, Perrysburg Ohio Warehouse. We have the ability to rebuild, retrofit or recondition each piece of equipment in our inventory. We are committed to being the number one supplier of used Tube & Pipe equipment in the world!"

Unfortunately, the company recently encountered a major setback in its effort to become the world's number one supplier of used tube and pipe equipment. Last week, the company's website was paralyzed by the actions of a large (allegedly "not evil") American corporation in an entirely unrelated field of business.

On Saturday, October 14th, Universal Tube put out this press release:

"We apologize to those who have tried to view our webpage during the last few weeks and were unable. The uTube.com website is now up and running strong after being paralyzed this week by the announcement of Google purchasing the popular YouTube.com video website for $1.65 billion. Millions of people inadvertently typed the URL uTube.com coming to our site instead of the YouTube.com they were actually trying to reach. The heavy traffic flow shut down our website again and again. We have moved our website 4 times during the last week to servers with additional bandwith capable of handling our own customers and reps along with the influx of video searchers."

Others in the financial media have already reported on this story. However, I had to address the topic myself, as they've clearly missed the point. They tended to focus on the fact that millions of people typed in an incorrect web address after seeing television and newspaper accounts of Google's acquisition of YouTube.com.

Online Business Entrepreneur? What You Must Know About Your Downline
As an on-line business entrepreneur it is your job to bring affiliates into your down line. But that’s an oversimplification of what your job really is. Bringing people into the business as new affiliates is like taking attendance the first day of a University class in Archaeology. Most of the students aren’t sure why they signed up for the course and most of them don’

Stay in Touch and Make the Future Sale
If you are in sales it makes sense to stay in touch with all your sales contacts and keep doors open. If you blow smoke, lack integrity, pitch too hard then you are liable to piss off your prospect and potential customer and end up losing in the future any sale you might have had.Some sales people will feel once someone says NO that that is a forever thing. Often a

Are Your Communication Skills In Line With Your Ambitions?
While this time of year compels us all to make changes in our eating and exercise - code words for changes to our bodies - just think of the effect on our lives if we also spent time making changes to our communication skills. Most of the people who come to me have in their list of needed changes concerns in how they approach others, make their wishes known, direct those

Top Ten Ways to Gain a Winning Competitive Edge
Consider this a new “condition of employment”. Professionals who choose to manage their careers in the same old ways will find themselves in a precarious position similar to the company who has become stagnant and ineffective -- ending up obsolete and unable to successfully compete. Here's the top ten things you need to do:1. Stay informed – follow current market a

On a related note, I suspect Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation's accountants will be pleased to know their job has been made a lot easier. I'm guessing their periodic review of the uTube.com domain name will find that the asset's fair value is at least equal to its carrying value.

However, the company's lawyers may find they have more work rather than less. May I be the first to suggest they press Google to change the newly acquired web property's slogan to: "You Tube, Broadcast Yourself – not affiliated with Universal Tube and Rollform Equipment Company".

It rolls right off the tongue.

Success as an event and meeting professional has never been more challenging, due to increasing competition and higher demands to meet business objectives. If you feel a little overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Merely projecting a veneer of confidence isn’t an option. So what can you do?

Conference organizers are a group of professionals who make all necessary arrangements to make a conference a great success. These organizers work with guidelines to make the conferences uniform and unique. Guidelines generally apply to all conferences, symposia and workshops with the exception of an annual meeting, which has its own set of guidelines. The primary role of the organizing committee is to design the technical program, including the selection of themes, invitations to plenary speakers and the scheduling of all sessions. The committee also reviews proposals for contributed presentations, posters and short courses and chose to accept or reject proposals.
