Method 4: Sell Crafts on Etsy

If you’re an artistic person, selling your wares on www.etsy.com might be a good option if you’re looking to raise cash quickly. If you’re unfamiliar with the site, it’s a place where artisans can sell various homemade goods in a thick, online marketplace.

Some important things to note about Etsy are the following: 1) everything you sell must be something you made yourself; 2) it costs 20 cents to list an item for 4 months; and 3) each sale will incur a 3.5% transaction fee.

As far as what you can sell on Etsy goes, hot sellers include pieces of art, bags and purses, candles, toys for children, crocheted items, holiday decorations, quilts, vintage pieces, and wedding decorations.

For a basic overview of the “dos and don’ts” of selling on Etsy, you should view the guide they’ve placed online here: http://www.etsy.com/dosdonts.php.

While there are many ways to make money with Etsy, the experts suggest that
building items around a single theme and specializing is one of the best ways to get noticed and to sell items. This is usually a better option that creating a lot of disparate items in different categories.

Overall, Etsy provides a good opportunity to make money online fast; and while doing something you enjoy already. However, if you’re not particularly artistic or don’t have an interest in crafts, then Etsy may not be a good option for you.

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 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 8: Freelance Graphic Design Work

way to make money online and quickly. If you’ve already done graphic design work of some sort, this is a definite plus; however, if you haven’t, don’t worry. It’s still possible to make money online doing graphic design work. For now, I will assume that you don’t have any prior experience. In that case, it is essential that you begin by accumulating items to put in your portfolio, which you will show to prospective clients. At a minimum, you will want to create the following objects: 1) an e-book cover; 2) a banner; 3) a small business logo; and 4) a payment button. If you’re not skilled with Photoshop (or GIMP, the free analog to Photoshop), this type of work probably won’t be easy initially. You’ll probably do very poorly on your first few banners, but with a little work, you can get better. If you plan to sell banners, one good way to start is by going to the following site: http://mybannermaker.com . This site will allow you to create a banner by uploading a back...
