Method 1 of 2: Selling Items and Skills
Step 1. Sell what you have on the online marketplace
Instead of opening a booth on the page, sell your stuff on Craigslist. Craigslist is more convenient than selling on the page. In addition, the items you sell will be seen by more people. More than 40 million people use this website every month. Check your closets and garages for items for sale such as old bicycles, art, furniture, household appliances or anything else you want to sell.
- Every major city has its own section on Craigslist. Scroll to see how to place an ad.
- Craigslist allows you to advertise for free. Unlike other websites, this site is not involved in buying and selling transactions. Most transactions are done individually so you don't have to pay a fee to them. However, there is no protection for buyers or sellers so be careful when you sell anything through this site.
- If you have old DVDs, CDs, or textbooks, try selling them on Amazon. Amazon will charge a small percentage of the profit on each sale. You are responsible for shipping as well as warranty conditions for any items sold on Amazon. This site uses a feedback system so you can build a reputation as a seller.
- Try selling clothes through an online consignment shop. Sites like Thredup, Threadflip, Twice, and The Real Real will ship prepaid shipping bags. You send clothes to them. After that, your clothes will go through a quality check. If you pass, your clothes will be advertised online. These sites will collect a small percentage of your sales. Poshmark lets you sell clothes as well as send them individually.
Step 2. Advertise your items in online auctions
eBay is a good site for selling items you no longer need. On eBay, you can sell anything from clothes to stuffed figures and cars. Choose between auctions or a base rate of direct purchase price. eBay will take a small percentage of every sale you make.
eBay uses a feedback system so you can build a reputation as a good and trusted seller. With that kind of reputation, you have the opportunity to sell more stuff
Step 3. Sell homemade items
If you're a craftsman, try selling your craft on Etsy, an online shop for homemade goods. On Etsy, you can sell anything from homemade soap and candles to hand-knitted scarves. Every transaction takes place via Etsy, be it via Paypal or by credit card.
- Examples of items you can sell include art paintings and postcards; home made jewelry; knitted small stuffed animal; essential oil; and aviary.
- Provide a reasonable price to attract site visitors, but still reflect the time and effort you put into creating it.
- You need to pay a small amount for each ad that Etsy places. The site also charges a small percentage of the revenue you get when you sell an item.
Step 4. Publish an e-book
If you have written a novel, self-publish it through Amazon, price it and sell the book. You can sell as many or as few e-books as you want. After publishing it, be sure to advertise it to your friends or family. Place an ad on social media so that people will notice the ad and buy it.
Try writing a nonfiction book on a topic you are good at
Step 5. Offer services online
Offering part-time services is a good way to make some extra cash. Provide services online such as editing, proofreading, short article writing, teaching, horoscope reading or whatever service you are good at.
- Try Elance. This site provides a list of part-time jobs that include technical matters, data entry, accounting, and other part-time jobs. You must bid on the job. Be prepared to accept a lot of rejection in the beginning.
- Fiverr is a site that lets you sell unique and professional skills for $5. Any job from repairing Ikea furniture to selling cartoon sounds can be found on this site.
Step 6. It takes time to build a reputation, but once you have it, you will be greatly helped in offering skills
Method 2 of 2: Making Money Through Websites
Step 1. Sign up for Mechanical Turk on Amazon
Mechanical Turk is an Amazon service where you can complete simple Human Intelligent Tasks for a fee. Some tasks will have you look at a picture and explain it for a fee of $0.08. Others may involve completing a survey for $2. Once you reach $10 dollars, you can transfer money to your existing account.
- You have to perform various tasks in order to make money through Mechanical Turk. You may only earn $6 in an hour. However, if you are persistent and persistent, your money will add up over time.
- Try accessing Mechanical Turk when you have free time. When you have about five minutes of free time, access it and do some errands.
- Don't waste your time doing very low-paying tasks. The task may not be worth the free time you have.
Step 2. Take an online survey
Research companies use online surveys to get feedback from users. In recent years, such surveys have become more reliable and reliable. Most of these online surveys are linked to a Paypal account and will send money to your account once the survey is completed. It might not be a quick way to make big bucks, but you might be able to earn $50 after working a few hours.
- Make sure not to get caught up in fraudulent surveys. These kinds of surveys will lure you into entering credit card information or trying to get you to buy credit cards or items they own.
- Sign up for multiple survey sites to maximize your survey opportunities. Some sites will only send 1 to 2 surveys in a month.
- Try using Pinecone Research, My Survey, iPoll, or Toluna.
Step 3. Get paid to browse the internet
Some sites are willing to pay you for using their search engine. You will collect points by clicking on ads, playing games, filling out surveys or simply browsing the internet. Some sites pay you in the form of a greeting card instead of money. So, if this is not what you are looking for, this site is not for you.
- Try Swagbucks and Gift Hulk. These sites offer search engines that can allow you to collect points as you browse the internet, as well as provide a place for you to fill out surveys and do other tasks.
- Be careful not to get addicted to using these sites. You can waste a lot of time filling out surveys and hitting ads. Use it for everyday browsing or when you're bored and want to pass the time.
Step 4. Be realistic
Most quick money making schemes are considered suspicious and some will deliver what they promise. Many sites offer pocket money, and nothing more. Know how to spot a scam:
- Don't send your own money to earn money. If the site is trusted, they will pay for the service you provide, not in any other way.
- Do your homework and other work before joining any online "quick make money" schemes. The same online scams have flourished offline.
- Be wary of pyramid sales schemes and MLM (Multi-Level Marketing). Most of these schemes try to take your money, not make you money.
