Make Great Money Selling Online


Welcome to my blog, please feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed or leave a comment.

One of the most common questions I’m asked by potential clients is how to make money on the Internet without spending a lot. It’s actually fairly simple if you take the time and becoming involved with online affiliate and marketing programs or simply want to sell your wares without having to hire a consultant like me to build your web site.

There are millions of places to sell your goods on the Internet, here are four great and simple suggestions for where to get started:

eBay - By far the most famous online resource for selling items, eBay is an online auction web site that allows you to pay a small fee and sell your goods to users. Potential buyers can choose to either pay a predetermined amount or place bids, depending upon how you listed your items. 

CraigsList - CraigsList was started as a free classified web site and has grown to be a national resource, post your items for free with or without photos. You determine the price, the service is free.

Kijiji - The web site with a funny name, Kijiji is similar to CraigsList, simply post your goods and wait for somebody to buy them. Most often it’s used to sell second hand merchandise but there’s nothing stopping you from posting new items as well.

FaceBook - While a lot of people know about FaceBook, not nearly as many use the online marketplace to its full potential. The FaceBook marketplace allows you to list goods and services for sale either nationally or locally, for free.

With all these sites, there’s one small problem … how to collect money and ship the product? Actually, even this has been made fairly easy with great services such as PayPal, which allows you to accept credit cards and bank transfers online PayPal also offers integration into the US Postal Service to help track shipping and coordinate receipt of goods. 

Remember, selling your items online through these four web sites does not require you to have a web site of your own so it’s a great way to get started without having to incur costs.
