TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Happy Tuesday to you!
Well, folks, today is April 17th, which is this year's tax filing deadline day here in the good old US of A. We beat this subject to death last week, so I'm only going to offer one quick bit of advice before we move on.
Make sure your return is completed in a legible fashion (no chicken scratch allowed), folded nice and neat, stapled if multiple pages, signed in all the right places, a check enclosed if you owe money (ouch), and that the envelope is sealed and stamped.
My accountant tells me that most audits are triggered by sloppy paperwork and bad penmanship, so remember what your 1st grade teacher told you: make sure your work is nice and neat before you turn it in.
Just for fun here's an article I wrote many years ago under the pen name, Harper Lee Weintstock, on the subject that might help make you smile today.
We're going to keep the good humor going this week with one of my columns that details a trip to the mall with my teenage daughter. Believe it or not you really can learn business lessons from teenagers (and you thought they were clueless). Details below.
Next up we talk about how to sell products using online classified ads and 8 ways to increase your eBay profits.
And as always you'll find the audio replays of "The Tim Knox Show" and the "48 Days To The Work You Love" radio shows.
The motto for both shows is: Listen, learn, take action!
You'll find details on all this below.
Enjoy!

Business Lessons Learned At The Mall
Normally in this column I dispense highly-intelligent small business advice in response to thought-provoking questions submitted by future and fellow entrepreneurs. This week, however, I have a couple of questions for myself, one of which makes me wonder how truly intelligent I really am.
I recently took my teenage daughter shopping at the mall. The experience raised two questions. (1) What business lessons might be learned from such a foray into teen commerce; and (2) What the heck was I thinking?

How To Sell Your Product Using Online Classified Ads
You have all read them, offline anyway, in papers, magazines and journals among other places. Well online classified ads work the same way. You write a headline, description and post some contact details for potential buyers to get in touch with you. Offline classifieds would direct people to a phone number while online classified ads would contain your URL and an email address.
Offline you'll have to pay for almost all classifieds you post, however online there are thousands of free sites which will allow you to post your ad and of course there are plenty of low-cost sites which will also except your ad.

"How I Increased My Adsense Revenue 400% In 24 Hours"
I told you a few weeks ago about the new videos from Michael Cheney,
the young Englishman who went from $2 a day to $19,156 A MONTH in
Adsense revenue in less than a year.
I personally ordered Michael's videos and tested just one of his ideas
on my own Adsense account and here's the honest result:
I had averaged $10 a day on this particular Adsense account for over 3
months. I implemented just one of the ideas from Michael's videos and
within 24 hours my Adsense income jumped to $50 BUCKS!
That's a 400% INCREASE IN 24 HOURS!!
Think I'm happy I bought Michael's videos? Darn right I am :o)
Michael will even let you watch one of the videos free:
