Having a Yard Sale

One way to get some extra money and clear out some of your extra "stuff" is to have a yard sale. Now I know what your thinking. "I can't have a yard sale online!" Well actually you can!

Using Facebook you can create a group, name it something like "My Yard Sale Group" or if you want to include a large group of people name it after your area, for example "Madison County Yard Sale Site" That way not only can you sell your extra clutter but so can other people in your area. Including a large number of people into the group increases the chance that someone who wouldn't see your group if it was only limited to your Facebook friends will be able to access it and may be interested in buying your stuff.

Its wise to set up a public place to meet when yo make a sale, its local but it is still the internet. Its better to be safe than sorry. You can sell just about anything this way. As long as someone is willing to buy it you can sell it, not to mention its a lot of fun to browse through all the other listings and see what everyone else has up for sale.

You can go the traditional route too and use Facebook and other social networks as a way to advertise your Yard Sale, those ads in the news paper aren't always cheap and not everyone gets the news paper.

Getting Crafty!

There are many ways to make a profit online if your crafty. There are lots of places to sell your creations including but not limited to:

eBay: Depending on what your particular craft is, you may look to eBay as a way to get your creations out into the world and make a little green in the process. eBay's activity seems to have declined from what it once was, so there are no guarantee that your crafts will sell big here.

Etsy: Aimed specifically towards the crafty. Etsy is an awesome site where you can sell your creations in your own store, like eBay they have fees but they are much more reasonable in my opinion considering your items stay up for months at a time and not for just a few weeks.

Facebook: More and more I see people using Facebook's group function as an online store. Your friends and family can join your group and stay updated on all the items your selling and any updates you may post regarding your crafts.

Do-it-yourself Online Store: Even with all the easier ways to sell your products, there is still no reason that you cant get your hands dirty yourself and create your own online store through a website builder, one i recommend for this is Yola.com. They have an easy to understand website builder and all the tools you'll need to build an online store.

If you don't want to go the online route you can also try flea markets, consignment shops, having a yard sale, and word of mouth to get your crafts sold. It all boils down to how much effort you want to put into it. Weather its keeping up with and promoting your Etsy shop or setting up for that flea market your going to need to put some time and energy into getting your items sold, but its worth it in the long run.

Creating on Zazzle

If your good at drawing, photography, writing, or graphic design of any sort. You should check out Zazzle.com. At Zazzle you can upload your artwork or photographs and place them onto various items that you can sell in your own online store.

The sky is the limit here also, if you have a design you can put it onto just about any item and sell it. We're talking everything from clothing to bags, paper products, pet products, posters, etc. You can even transform your favorite doodle into a snazzy cellphone or tablet cover. You probably won't get rich with Zazzle, but there is enough potential to make a good bit of money, with fairly little effort.

I sell on Zazzle myself and I don't spend a whole lot (if any) time promoting my shop and I've gotten pretty decent sales thus far. I have only recently started putting effort into promoting my Zazzle shop, and i'll write another blog about that here in a few weeks when i have more information on what works and what doesn't.

If your curious about that Zazzle is all about check them out at http://www.zazzle.com or check out my shop to get an idea of what the products look like: http://www.zazzle.com/karmaworkz

Writing Articles With HubPages

HubPages is a fun and fairly easy way to make money online writing articles. You'll need a Paypal account and you will have to sign up for Google Ad Sense, but once that's out of the way the sky is the limit! If you've got a hobby or are particularly knowledgeable about a topic, write an article about it! Heck write 2!

You can seriously write about anything you feel like, as long as it doesn't violate HubPages rules. While some topics will pull more traffic than others, there is no limit to the things you could write about.
