You may have a thousand bucks in your pocket! The Wisconsin quarter mistake.

In case you haven’t heard, let me be the first to tell you. An unknown number of the Wisconsin state quarters released last year have two mistakes that may be worth more than one thousand dollars. If you have a Wisconsin state quarter, you may have your own little windfall. Grab all your quarters and read on to find out how to tell if you’re one of the lucky ones!

Kids, this whole Wisconsin state quarter thing has caused quite a bit of excitement in the last few days. Everyone is rushing to check their stockpiles of loose change to see if they might have one of the “goofs”! Just yesterday my husband came home from work and told me about the Wisconsin quarter story he’d heard on NPR which reported a man had held a one day auction on eBay for one of the quarters and made over $1000.00.

Naturally I immediately pulled up good old eBay and sure enough, there they were. People selling Wisconsin state quarters with the mistakes on them and prices from $500 to well over $1000.

So, what are the mistakes and how can you tell if you have one? I’m about to tell you!

It seems the errors have to do with the corn stalk on the back of the coin. On the errors, there are extra leaves. You do not need a magnifying glass to see them… unless you are like me and you need a magnifying glass to see almost everything anyway!

The coins that are selling for the most cash on eBay are being sold in sets. It seems collectors really like to buy them in sets of three: the “normal” coin along with the two error coins. That’s not to say the error coins aren’t worth more money alone, but the sets of two or three are really in demand.

For the best graphic I’ve found that shows you exactly what you’re looking for, click here: http://www.wxow.com/news/publish/articles/article_1450.shtml.Be sure to come back though, because I’ll tell you what to do next if you find one!

Ok. You’ve seen the graphic and you’re lucky enough to have found one! Yoo-hoo! (I’ll expect my fee in the mail.) What now?

If I were you, I’d head over to www.eBay.com and check out the other auctions that are featuring the error Wisconsin coins. If you aren’t comfortable with eBay, you might call a local coin collector but please keep in mind, they are there to make a profit and you might not always get the best deal.

Should you hang onto the coin in hopes the price will go up? That’s up to you. It sort of depends on how much you like to gamble.The coin could increase in price dramatically, or it could drop dramatically. At this writing, the mint does not know how many coins are in circulation. As with anything else, the coins will be worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them.

Happy hunting!

If you are looking for a new idea to jump start your sales, you are not alone. Infact there are many others out there that are just starting out in the world of online marketing. Putting time into networking is well worth the effort. Find a strategic business peer among other newbies out there. Look for people who are on the same learning curve you are and that have the same objective. You can trade leads, share marketing info, sell package deals, etc.

One of the most important things you will do is brand your name and business. You can easily do this by just writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or web sites for republishing. Make sure that you write about topics that will bring people to your sites if they are impressed with what you have to say. Making these articles keyword rich will also bring search engine clicks, readers that will click through to your site. Always put your bio and website link on your articles and only submit them to directories that enforce the terms that those that use your articles must keep your bio attached.

Remember to take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the difference between success and failure. Your peers will be the greatest soundboard that you will have. I spend time driving or watching tv and thinking about the millions of times someone is marketing to me. I also research what is “hot” these days and try to find ways to make money from them.

Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes businesses don’t want to advertise unless it’s free, sometimes you have to spend money to get results. Just be sure to take baby steps. Do not take out a 500.00 dollar advertisement unless you know that it is a trusted website.

Learn what words trigger people to buy. Include emotional words in your advertisements. Use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, etc. When you search around the net see what catches your eye. What has really impressed you before?

Know when it is time to get help for your business. When you are nearing your limit and cannot put any more time into your business then you already do and yet you are making great headway in your business, then it is probably time to consider help. Consider out sourcing part of your workload. You’ll save on most employee costs. You could out source your secretarial work, accounting, marketing, etc.

One of your biggest sales pitches will be when you are able to offer many products and service together in a package deal. Can you resist such a great deal? 4 or 5 different tools and products all bundled into one price can be irresistable. Use them as an added bonus or make a “limited time only” sales pitch after someone has purchased a product from you.

These ideas are meant to help you to gain traffic and content. You need to keep thinking of ideas that can bring the people into your website world. The more people that come, the better your odds of making big sales.
