Craigslist has become one of the least known ways to make money online today (other than selling junk). If you are unfamiliar with Craigslist you need to get familiar with it fast. Millions of users look to use their services for selling, buying, or just relaying information to others. When it comes to making money-using craigslist, the opportunities seem to currently be unlimited. So for the sake of time I will cover a few of the most common methods in use today. Here’s how we will make money with craigslist:
- Purchase under priced products available in your local classified section. Then list the same items for sale on eBay. Too many people simply using craigslist to get rid of their items at any cost. So for someone to turn around and scan the classifieds looking for products that can be sold for a profit on eBay takes very little work. Some of the best areas of craigslist to search for bargains would be: clothes, collectibles, and books. If you have read the Online Money 101 eBay section, you know that I like items that cost very little to ship. (Increases the profit margin) However I am sure that there are literally hundreds of other types of items that could be bought on craigslist & then sold on ebay for a nice profit.
- Reverse the process above & sell items bought on eBay to craigslist customers. This is not as easy, since the best way to guarantee the profit margin is to buy a large lot of items from eBay. Then individually sell them for a nice mark up on craigslist.
- You can also make money-using craigslist by promoting your online business ventures. I have found success using the services section to post my online opportunities. You will have to read the guidelines carefully to avoid your post from being “flagged.” However if you really do offer any kind of quality service such as: web design, domain registration, website hosting, etc… the amount of income you can generate is almost unlimited.
- The last method of craigslist money is: convert your online ventures into physical ventures. I mean it isn’t too hard to find people who have great services to offer. Find the people with good services & team up with them. I.e.… Find someone who has a handyman service. Contact them and agree to set up or share a website for their business. Or just agree to a flat rate fee for customers you refer to them. You get the picture.
Again these are just a few of the methods to making money with craigslist, which can be implemented instantly. Add a little of your own creativity to these recipes, and who knows what type of income you can generate… Thanks to Online Money 101 .com
