There are lots of different ways to get healthy and regain that awesome body for summer, but almost all of the different ways are just a variation on the good old fashioned advice “Eat less and exercise more.” No matter what your fitness level, from couch potato to grandma to stressed out office worker most everyone is capable of taking a short walk every day. You might wonder, though, exactly how far you are walking and what exactly you’re doing to help your body. DealDash has a solution for that.

Most of us are familiar with the old pedometers that count your steps. There is anew breed of computerized pedometers that can not only track your steps but also connect with your computer via a small WIFI dongle to upload all of your information, keep track of it, and help you meet your fitness goals.

If you’re most interested in boosting your fitness and getting a beach body by walking and keeping track of your steps a great item to pair with your pedometer would be a treadmill. A treadmills are great for letting you get a workout accomplished during any time of the night or day and in any kind of weather.

Let’s look at it this way – treadmills are the indoor motorized equivalent of walking or running in place. You simply keep up with a belt that’s moving under your feet. Your treadmill workout will burn about the same number of calories as walking or running outdoors, yet in your lovely air conditioned, TV with cable, and internet equipped house. DealDash has a selection of treadmills that come up for auction. If you would like to check them out please click on this link here. If you are interested in one of these treadmills please click on the “Alert Me” button on the auction’s home page and you will receive an email when the auction for that particular item is about to begin.

Please remember, if you are just getting started on your road to fitness and you’re someone who hasn’t had any strenuous physical activity for at least three months, it’s recommended that you begin with walking. By training consistently (initially twice a week and then three times a week), you can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise by increasing your speed and incline.

If you have been sedentary for 6 months or more it would be an extremely good idea to have a check up with your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough to start a fitness program. Also, they might be able to give you some great tips on fitness taking into account your own personal medical history.

 

In addition to exercising eating healthily is a huge part of fitness. Please check back on the DealDash blog this Wednesday for some more tips on fitness and getting your best body for summer.

Setting Your Bid Limit on DealDash

Everyone wants to win every auction that they enter, but in reality that is very unlikely to happen. However, you can always be a winner if you stick to your bid limits and BIN (Buy It Now) when you aren’t the last bidder.

One of the most common questions that I have had people ask me is “How do you know when to stop bidding?” Well, the answer will possibly sound a little complicated, but in practice it’s really very easy to figure out, especially if you are the sort of person who “checks in” on the auctions that you are bidding on every so often.

The first step, of course, is to find an auction that you are interested in bidding on. Now, make sure that you truly want this product, because the way to know when to stop bidding involves being willing to BIN (Buy It Now) if you don’t happen to win the auction. You can check the BIN price of any auction if you open up the auction’s page and look in the upper left hand corner under the title of the auction. There should be a $$$ money amount next to a phrase that says “Buy It Now price”.

The next step is to think about how much you spent per bid. The official cost for bids is .60 per bid, but DealDash is kind enough to have bids on sale every single day. Sometimes they are .12, .13, .14, .15, .16, .17, or .18 per bid depending on what day you buy your bids.

After you have determined the BIN price and the price you paid per bid then it’s time to get down to the math. Let’s make things easy and say you are bidding on something that has a BIN price of $20, and you spent .14 per bid. If you divide $20 by .14 you get 142. So if it happens to be a FREE auction day (which it is occasionally, especially on a holiday weekend) then go ahead and load up your Bid Buddy with 142 bids and sit back and see if you win or if you BIN. If it’s not a FREE auction day then you would be smart to monitor your auction every now and again to see what the final auction price is and adjust the bids in your Bid Buddy accordingly.

I hope that these simple tricks help you to save your bids and get the most out of your bid pack purchases. Pay attention to what you’re doing, check out the auctions and see what you would really like to bid on, and try my tips to save bids. See you on DealDash everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past ten years or so, I’m sure that you have heard of Twitter. However, you might not know anything about Twitter’s history. Twitter is an online social networking service that lets users share short 140-character messages called “tweets”.  Users can send and read tweets from just about anyone, from their next door neighbor all the way up to President Obama. Users may subscribe to other users’ tweets—this is known as “following” and subscribers are known as “followers”. DealDash has a whopping 10.4 thousand followers! If you love looking at the “Winners” tab on DealDash, looking at the tweets that people post on DealDash’s Twitter page is even more fun.

You can get totally free bids really easily and quickly using Twitter. The way you can do that is by simply following DealDash and posting photos on Twitter. If you are going to take photos of your wins to post on Facebook and Pinterest to get free bids, why not also post them on Twitter?

First things first, you need to follow DealDash on Twitter at this link here. Then go to DealDash, win an auction, and wait to receive it. After that you can get free bids by simply taking a photo of yourself holding the auction win and posting the picture on Twitter with a quick message such as “I got this – ____________ item – @DealDash for – ___________ bids- & $ – ___________ final auction price-. I love it! #DealDash also gives #FREE shipping!” Just “fill in the blanks” with the appropriate answers, and you are all set!

When you take advantage of the generous free bid offers that DealDash gives everyone every single week you can build your bid bank and win even more auctions. Then, of course, use your bid bank to get more wins, and then repeat the process. There is no limit to how many weeks in a row that you can post on Twitter and get totally free bids. As long as you have a new auction win every week then you can get more free bids every week.

Did You Join DealDash Today? Here’s How It Works

Are you just getting started? Here’s how DealDash works.

1. Buy Bids

Bids are what you use to bid in the auctions to try and win.  Bids are available in a variety of different sizes of bid packs. The regular price per bid is 60 cents, and your first bid pack purchase will use this price. However, DealDash offers bid sales pretty much every day where you can purchase them from around 14-18 cents per bid. If you buy a larger bid pack, the cost per bid is usually much lower. Sometimes on holidays the prices will be even lower. You just have to be patient and see what the price is every day.

2. Browse Auctions, Do Research

All items sold on DealDash are brand new and come with manufacturer warranties. All of the items are clearly displayed, some with multiple pictures. All of the items have descriptions, and of course you can always google the item you’re interested in to get consumer reviews or more information.

3. Start Bidding

All auctions start at $0.00. Everytime you or anyone else bids it adds one penny to the final price of the item. Each bid from you or anyone else restarts the timer to 10 seconds and allows people to place bids until the timer reaches 0 or is reset again by someone bidding. You can bid one by one, or use the free tool  to help you bid called the BidBuddy. The BidBuddy is an awesome tool that everyone should take advantage of – you can program it to bid as many times as you like, and you can watch it bid against the competition or step away from the computer, or even turn it off and go to sleep!

4. Win or BIN

When the timer reaches 0 and no one else places a bid, the last bidder wins the auction and pays the final auction fee that is displayed on the bidding screen. Sometimes DealDash offers half off all auctions, or even FREE auctions. When you start bidding in an auction you never know if it’s going to be over in a matter of minutes or even days! However, if it’s an item that’s important to you, you probably want to think about going “all the way” and be willing to BIN (Buy It Now) if you don’t win. That way, when you BIN the item for the retail price you get ALL of the bids back that you placed, as well as getting free shipping. Sounds great, right? Well get bidding!
