Ebay experiment - making money online

Hi all,

Well done with the first week of listing and selling some old stuff I had and ta da - $80 this week. Not too bad for some quick Christmas money without having to go work a real job. Ebay has always been a fun place to sell and bid, but they got horrible quick if you are a seller. So now I have a new philosophy...sell stuff that you want to get rid of and make sure the listing fees are free. So far so good. Gotta go in my basement and find more stuff this week - and extra $300 or so a month would go along way. www.ebay.com to try your hand at selling online or look for my auctions - makeup_gir... ok so I was missing the L in girl but I am ok with it. Good luck and talk to ya later

Amazon affiliate - another way to make money online

Hey there,

Back for money making ideas, how about using Amazon.com to make money. Go to www.amazon.com and sign up to become an affilate. Place their links and banner ads on your blogs, hubpages and websites and when people purchase make a cut of their purchase. Many on hubpages make extra cash with this method. I am trying it out for the first time on my hubpages now and will let you know how it goes. Good luck and post your comments when you make money!

Selling on Ebay...

Hey all,

Well I guess it is time for a little experiment. I am going to go back to selling on ebay...well a little bit. I have a few old phones and other items so I am going to see if the buyers are still there. Christmas is always the best selling season on ebay so... here we go. I will keep you posted as to how it goes, but I believe if you start the listing at $.99 you can list five for free so it is worth trying again.

Will let you know how it goes and post more money making ideas tomorrow.

Making Money from Home Idea of the day

Today's money making idea of the day is selling clothing to a local second chance stores that buy those items. Go through all the old clothes you have and your kids. Sort them in pile - designer adult and designer kids. Check for local area stores that buy these clothes directly and consignement stores.

Some places that buy good used clothing

Plato's Closet - brand name teen and other designer labels.
Once upon a Child - buys childrens clothing and some toys
Clothes Mentor - designer womens clothing

and also look for local consignement stores - which take a percentage of the sale on your items.

Good luck!

Craigslist - Today's Money Making idea

Hey all,

Ok I know you have all heard of Craigslist.com and have heard of the scammers and things that go on, but it is really a great way to make money without paying anything! Last month I made about $200 after having a crappy rummage sale, I posted the other items that I had left on Craigslist. Some of them sold within a few hours! Here a few tips for listing your items.

  1. Price a bit higher but not too high - people like to negotiate
  2. Use the anonymous email option
  3. Put your phone number only if it a high ticket item and put spaces in it so you dont get fake calls
  4. Use pictures - craigslist is free - pictures sell your items.
  5. Remember what you think is junk - other people treasure and it is much easier to list on craigslist than sit for hours at a rummage sale.

Good luck and post your successes!
