Top 5 YouTube Hacks

1-Get around international video restrictions.

 This summer's Olympics has been a good lesson in the necessity of working around networks' and video providers' often ridiculous restrictions based on location and timing.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID
You'll find a string of characters where VIDEOID is. Copy that string, and paste it like so:

10 Steps To Successful Selling On eBay

So you want to be a successful seller with your own eBay business, do you? Here's a simple, ten-step path to eBay enlightenment.

Any market research data you can collect will be very useful to you later on. You'll probably see the 'sweet spots' quite quickly - those one or two items that always seem to sell for a good price.

Step 2: Watch the competition. Before you invest any money, see what the other sellers in your category are up to, and what their strategies are. Pay special attention to any flaws their auctions might have, because this is where you can move in and beat them at their own game.
