Ever find yourself wondering, “How can I make more money with what I already have?” Of course you’ve wondered this! Well, I have a solution for you. Craigslist.com rnCraigslist is an online marketplace where you can buy, and sell items locally for free! No fees like eBay. There are many ways to make money on Craigslist like selling an item, getting a job, and finding a gig are all different ways to earn money from Craigslist. Getting a job through Craigslist is a popular way to make money through Craigslist. On your local Craigslist you’ll find many temporary, and part-time job openings. You can apply for as many of these positions as possible. Many people including myself have found work from the Craigslist, “Jobs” section. Another money-making avenue that is similar to, “Jobs” is “Gigs”. Gigs are events that you attend and perform a service at like: DJing, singing, and playing in a band. But, gigs are not limited to just the musically inclined. Gigs can also be someone looking for people to walk their dog, mow their lawn, and even spend time with the elderly. Gigs are not as reliable of an income as a job, but they can be things that you love to do. If you love animals, dog walking gigs will be perfect for you. If you love music, take your talents to Craigslist. Many of your local coffee shops find their bands from Craigslist. The final way to make money on Craigslist is to sell items. This is a great way to turn what you’d trash in your yearly spring cleaning into some cash. Anything and everything can sell on Craigslist: vacuum cleaners, drapes, books, DVDs, lawn mowers, video games, cars, you name it! If you can think it, you can sell it! But, rather than sell an item one time for some money I recommend making a business out of buying/selling on Craigslist. Find items at thrift stores, on the side of the road, from friends and from family that you think would sell. Then create an ad, ask a price, and wait for people to come to you and ask to buy your item. If you’re a self-proclaimed ‘handy man’ you can also offer to buy people’s broken electronics, furniture, and small engine equipment. Then fix it up and resell it! Creating ads offering to buy people’s broken or unwanted items is a fantastic idea! It takes all the effort out of scouring Craigslist for great deals, now the deals come to you. Just sit back and wait for countless people to come knocking, offering countless items at reasonable prices day in and day out. This is by far the best angle to make money on Craigslist. It takes only one ad and it has unlimited earning potential. But don’t just limit yourself to one section! Offer to buy/haul away any item you think you or someone you know can fix. Nothing ventured nothing gained! The ways to make money on Craigslist are limitless if you keep an open mind, are persistent, and never give up.
