November 20th, 2008 by admin | Filed under Making Money Online.

Yesterday, I read an article called “Tough Decisions and Desperation,” in which the author discussed the desperation of people wanting to make money online to pay their bills. The author talked about;

  • How difficult it would be to pay your bills from a new online business.
  • Ways you can start an online business and about how to sell affiliate products.

Reading the (Tough Decisions and Desperation) article encourage me to write this article and let you know, there are other ways to make money online to pay a few bills, without starting a online business.

People who are interested in making money online need it free and fast. Like most people, you do not have time to go through the process of starting an online business. But, you would like to know how you can make some quick money online. Below, I have listed a few different ways you can make some money online, fast and free.

You may not realize it, but you may have $1,000 or more lying around your house that you can sell online. Things that you may think of as junk or no value can be valuable to other people. And by selling these items at a reasonable price, it is possible to make enough money to pay a few of your bills.

Once you have found all the items you would like to sell online, the next thing you need to do, is find out where you can sell them.

  • The first place I would go is Ebay. Ebay has a large customer base with thousands of people constantly looking for items to buy. The good thing about Ebay is, all your customers are in one location. So, you would not have to wait long before a person finds your item. Registering at Ebay is free! But they do charge some small fees to post your items to their web site.
  • Like Ebay, Ioffer.com provides a large customer base and is even better than Ebay when it comes to their fees. Unlike Ebay, IOffer.com will only charge you a small fee only if your item sales at the end of auction.
  • Craigslists.org is a free online classified ad site, where you can post your items free locally or nationally. Posting items on Craigslists.org would be the fastest way to make money. Unlike Ebay or IOffer.com, you do not have to wait until an auction ends and hope that a person has bided on your item to make a little money. Once you post a free listing on Craigslists.org, you should start receiving emails or phone calls from potential customers within 24 hours.
  • Online Local News Papers is another great place to post free listings to make money. Many people tend to forget about their local news papers, because of other popular online sources. Most news paper companies today have online systems, where you can post items to there classified ad section free of charge.

Above, I have provided a few places where you can sell some of your unwanted belongings free to make some quick money. Here are just a few tips to help you sell your items faster and easier.

  • Do not set your prices too high! Remember, most of the things you will be selling is out-dated or used. So marking your prices to high can make it difficult for you to make money.
  • Be honest when you are selling used things! Let the buyers know as much about the item you are trying to sell. The less information you provide, the less interested the buyer will be.
  • Pictures are worth a thousand words! Take pictures of the things you would like to sell. Buyers love to see pictures of the things they would like to purchase.
  1. It gives them extract security when they actually see what they are interested in buying.
  2. It encourages them to buy.
  3. It also provides proof that you really have the item and how it looks.
  • Do not play games with your buyers! If a person emails or calls you about an item you are selling. Try to reply back as fast as possible. This gives the buyer that extra encouragement that you are interested in their business and that you are trust worthy.
  • I would encourage you to setup a Paypal account. Why, for many reasons, most of today’s online shoppers only feel safe using their Paypal account to make online transactions.
  • Do not accept checks! There are plenty of scam artist in the world. And the last thing you need is for a check to bounce in your account.
