Method 3: Sell Junk Online

If you’re like most people, you probably have a lot of junk sitting your house that you have no use for. You might have an old computer or laptop, old electronics, old furniture, old textbooks, and old clothing.

As far as you’re concerned, this stuff is useless. You won’t ever use it again; and all it’s doing is taking up space. But for many other people, they would be willing to pay for an old computer, old furniture, or old clothes.

Once you realize this, you’ll also see that selling junk that you no longer use
could been an excellent way to raise some cash without too much work.
In the past, if you wanted to do this, you’d have to hold a garage sale; and would have to advertise for it by posting signs on telephone poles all over your
neighborhood. If you were lucky, a handful of people would show up and pay
very little for some of your stuff. But this is no longer the case.

Now, you can use two important tools to ensure that you get a higher price and also close the sale faster: www.craigslist.org and www.ebay.com. For things like clothing and light electronics, www.ebay.com is probably a better option. It is a thicker market; and will allow you to unload just about everything you have if you’re willing to sell at a low enough price.

On the other hand, www.craigslist.org is good if you’re selling heavy items, such as furniture. Since shipping would be prohibitively expensive for most furniture, it simply does not make sense to do it on www.ebay.com. If you use
www.craigslist.org instead, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find someone in your area who will be willing to drive to your house or apartment to pick up the item.

When it comes to using either www.ebay.com or www.craigslist.org, it’s important that you spend time to briefly explain what it is you are selling, so that potential buyers know what you’re offering. It is also important to include pictures of the items you’re selling, as doing this will make browsers significantly more willing to buy.

Method 15: Use Twitter to Market Your Myspace Forum Product

If you used method #14, you now have an inexpensive, entry-level product, a sales page, and a check-out system. All you need to do now is direct additional traffic to it. While posting on Myspace Forums was a good way to start, there are still a lot of options available for traffic generation. One such option is Twitter. If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s a social networking service that allows you to add and remove friend as you would on Myspace or Facebook. The difference is that the main purpose of Twitter is to send out 140-character “tweets” to your friends; and, in return, to read what they are tweeting about. Of course, this network can also be used to make money. To do this, you’ll need to start by creating an account if you do not already have one. After that, you will want to begin adding people who might be good targets for your sales campaign. You can do this by searching to see who is tweeting about topics related to your product. You can then...

Method 14: Use Myspace Forums to Sell Products

Social media has proven itself to be one of the best venues for marketing products in a hurry. In the past, Internet marketers have held contests to see how much they can make in one day, one week, or one month by creating a new product and selling it through a social marketing medium. When it comes to this type of project, there are two things to ask yourself: 1) what type of product should you sell? And 2) what medium should you sell it in? In this section, I will cover how to sell on Myspace forums. In the next section, we’ll consider Twitter. Let’s start with the types of products you might want to sell on Myspace. What Product to Sell You might immediately assume that you should sell one of your flagship products, but in fact, social media sites are not always the best place to do this. For this reason, you will want to answer this question by doing market research, rather than simply picking a product and running with it. One way you can approach this is to...

Method 21: Sell Unprofitable Parts of Your Business

If you already have an Internet-based business, but parts of it aren’t performing particularly well, then it may be a good idea to sell off the unprofitable parts, consolidate everything that is working; and move forward with a new model. These unprofitable sections of your business might include websites that are poorly monetized; or products that don’t seem to sell very well. Whatever the case may be, consider selling it on a forum like SitePoint. If you have monthly revenue data (from AdSense or PayPal records), this will be helpful. Even if the site doesn’t sell well for you, that doesn’t mean it can’t for someone else. This is something that is important to highlight when making the sale. Point out the positives about the site (such as its daily unique visitor counts); and then mention how this can potentially make more money if monetized better. One good thing about selling your unprofitable sites is that you can usually get something like 7-10 months worth of prof...
