Steps

Method 1 of 2: Selling Items and Services

1. 1 Sell ​​items online. For example, via Craigslist; this site has 40 million monthly users. Look for old things and objects in closets or garage - you can sell a bicycle, artwork, furniture, dishes and more.
   • On Craigslist, every major city has its own subsection. Browse this site to see how other users are posting ads.
   • Posting items for sale on Craigslist is free. Unlike other similar sites, Craigslist does not require a commission, but neither the buyer nor the seller is protected in any way, so be careful.
   • If you have DVDs, CDs, old tutorials, try selling them on Amazon. Amazon takes a small percentage of every sale. You are responsible for the shipment and condition of the item sold. The site uses a feedback system, so you can become a seller with a good reputation.
   • Try selling clothes through online stores like Thredup, Threadflip, Twice, The Real. You send them clothes, they check their quality and display them in an online store for a small percentage of sales. Poshmark will allow you to sell clothing through an online store and ship it yourself.
2. 2 Sell ​​items in online auctions like eBay. On eBay, you can sell just about anything from clothes to cars. Choose between selling at auction or selling at a fixed price. eBay charges a small percentage on every sale.
   • eBay uses a feedback system, so you can become a reputable seller, which will help you sell more items.
3. 3 Sell ​​DIY items on Etsy, for example. On this resource, you can sell homemade candles, soap, knitted clothes, and other items. The client pays with you by credit card or Paypal.
   • Here are examples of what you can sell: art prints and postcards; homemade jewelry; Knitten things; birdhouses.
   • Ask for a reasonable price to attract buyers, but do not forget about the amount of your effort and labor involved in creating the item.
   • Posting an ad on Etsy is inexpensive; the site also takes a small commission on every sale.
4. 4 Publish an ebook you write through Amazon, set a price, and sell it. After the book is published, let your friends and family know about it, and also advertise it on social media.
   • Consider writing a popular science book on a topic in which you specialize.
5. 5 Provide services over the network. You can provide the following services: editing, proofreading, writing short articles, tutoring, writing horoscopes, or any other service.
   • Elance is a resource where users offer their services (programming, data entry, accounting, and others). On this site, you offer a certain price for each project, which you will be paid in case of successful completion of the work. Be prepared to be turned down for the first few offers.
   • On Fiverr, you can offer any service for $ 5, like fixing furniture or sounding a cartoon.
   • It will take some time to create a profile with a good reputation on these sites, but then you will be hired much more often.

Method 2 of 2: Making Money Through Websites

1. 1 Sign up for Amazon Mechanical Turk. This is a service where you can do various jobs for a small fee. For example, you may be asked to describe a painting for $ 0.08 or fill out a questionnaire for $ 2. You can transfer money to your account when you earn $ 10.
   • In order to make money through Mechanical Turk, you need to complete many tasks, but you can earn no more than $ 6 per hour.
   • Try Mechanical Turk when you have free time (at least a few minutes every hour).
   • Don't mess with low-paying jobs. They are most likely not worth your time.
2. 2 Make money with online surveys. Research companies use such surveys to get consumer opinion and other information. In most cases, payments for your services are made through Paypal. You won't get rich that way, but you can make $ 50 in a matter of hours.
   • Under no circumstances provide information about your bank card and do not buy anything if the research company suggests that you do so.
   • Sign up with several online survey sites to increase your earnings (on some sites you can only take 1-2 surveys per month).
   • To get started, register on the following sites: Pinecone Research, My Survey, iPoll, Toluna.
3. 3 Make money surfing the internet. You will be paid to click on ads, play games, take surveys, or simply browse the web. Some of these resources pay for the services of users in the form of gift cards (not money), so be careful.
   • Such sites are Swagbucks and Gift Hulk. On both resources, you can make money surfing the Internet, as well as filling out questionnaires and performing other tasks.
   • Do not get carried away with work on such sites. You can spend a lot of time filling out surveys or viewing ads. Work when you're bored or need to kill time.
4. 4 Be realistic. Most quick profit-making schemes are suspicious and few will do what they promise. Learn to identify scammers:
   • Don't send your money to make a profit. If this is a reliable resource (site), then you will be paid, and not vice versa.
   • Do some preliminary research before joining any get-rich-quick scheme online. In most cases, these are internet scams that previously thrived offline.
   • Beware of pyramid and MLM sales schemes. In most cases, you will lose money, not make it.
