Need a little extra cash for the holidays?

There seems to be a lot of people these days that are doing without some things for Christmas when in years’ past, those things were plentiful. Whether there’s just not enough on the paycheck this month or whether people have wised up and haven’t gone into debt as much this year, I’m not sure why people don’t have as much. Of course there are a lot of things that we can do without. But we want it!

Well, if there’s not as much in your wallet or on your paycheck this year, why not find cash value in some things that are lying around your home, in your basement or garage. I have been doing exactly that and, if you’re a ‘newbie’ on the internet then I’ll show you how to turn that stuff into cash.

The easiest way to do that is to sell your stuff on auction websites or classified websites. eBay and Craigslist are the first ones that come to mind. eBay is great for selling things that are easier to ship because most likely the buyer won’t live close to you and you’ll have to ship it. Craigslist is great for those items that are heavier, larger, or just plain akward to ship. Expect to pay some fees if you sell it on eBay. Craigslist is free for selling stuff.

Visit my Auctiva Store!

Auctiva is a third-party company that helps you organize your auctions and they offer free tools that are very beneficial to eBay sellers. Find out more at: www.auctiva.com.

Craigslist >> Who’s list? Craigslist! If you haven’t heard of Craigslist, then you better start from the beginning – of the internet, that is! (Don’t ask me what that means.) Craigslist is one of the most popular websites in the world. Pretty impressive for how they started out. (On a side note, I always love hearing stories about how these most popular websites got started.) Anyway, back on track.

Advantages of Craigslist over eBay.

Sell stuff locally.
It’s free.
Create’s great exposure for your stuff.

Craigslist and eBay are both very good for making a little extra cash over the holidays.

I will be putting out some tutorials on eBay. Both for beginners (newbies) and also some more advanced tutorials. How to sell more effectively on eBay…

Pajama Saturday

I am an entrepreneur and I love what I do. I have a lot of internet projects going on right now and they have kept me quite busy recently. Today is Saturday and I have been in my pajamas all day! I don’t have anywhere to go. This, by any means, doesn’t mean that I’m lazy, it just means that I like to be comfortable.

I have been spending a lot of time recently promoting several niche products from Clickbank.com using the Craigslist Blackhat System that I’ve recently seen. I know that this Craigslist System has been out for a few months but just recently, I am spending more time with free classified ads and I’m finding Craigslist to be a good source of finding leads for your opt-in list or affiliate products.

Craigslist is a great system to use if you know how to use it and the Craigslist Blackhat System is an awesome resource to use. I am really excited to continue using this System to promote affiliate products and my own opt-in lists. I will keep you updated as to my progress and the success that I am having with this System.

Extra Cash in your garage and basement?!

It has been a few weeks since my last post on this blog. Today we are going to talk about this time of year. I love Spring and everything that Spring represents. Spring is a common time that people are getting out all of the junk in their garage and either donate it to a thrift store they have a yard sale. If you are one of those people that goes through your garage or basement in this fashion just to give items away or sell them for super cheap at a yard sale then why not list those items for sale online. Specifically, eBay or Craigslist! It will take a little bit of time to list those items on eBay but you could have some extra cash laying around that you could sell online and make some extra cash. I know of someone that sold a first edition of The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling on eBay for over $100! These same people was able to sell over 20 other items that they had laying around their home and they made over $700! Not bad for stuff that’s just filling up your basement or garage.

On the other side of the fence, if you are a barterer and a yard sale junkie then you can buy things for really cheap and list those items to resell online. Be a bargain hunter and frequently visit those yard sales and thrift stores. That just might turn into a regular additional stream of revenue.
