I was browsing the classifieds section of newspaper the other day and I gotta tell you, I was surprised. It definitely confirms my statement from one of my previous posts. That statement is "Some people don't know the value of the stuff they sell."
As an example, I saw an ad that someone was selling their used xbox for $50, I went on eBay and saw one xbox went for $70 thats about $20 loss for that person. Now, I am not saying that you can always find this kind of deal in newspaper, but it never hurts to look.
So my advice, pick up a local newspaper and check the classifieds section. Next go on eBay and cross verify the price. If you can get at least 2 times more for that product on ebay, I suggest you go and buy the product from the seller and sell it on eBay. The one downside to this is that you need a startup money, but if you can get 2 to 3 times more then what you invest, well the choice is obvious.
Till next post, see ya.

Make money with ClickBank
First of all, sorry for the lack of updates. Its really hard to come up with money related topics, but here is one anyway.
I am sure many of you who heard or read about affiliate marketing know what a ClickBank is. If you don't, its basically a marketplace for digital products, be it software or an ebook, ClickBank has it all. So how do you make money with it? Well its really quite simple. The first and easiest way is to become affiliate to the product they carry, there are thousands of products to choose from, and it doesn't cost a dime to get started.
So you basically register with them to become an affiliate, choose the product, and advertise it like crazy. If you already have a popular blog or website, then the process of advertising is quite cheap. Otherwise you would have to pay to see the product advertised(I am talking about Adwords, Overture, etc).
As for the amount of money you can make with it, its quite huge. You can make anywhere between $100 or $1000 a day, it all depends on your effort. I myself made only about $22 off of it, and I wasn't even trying hard.

Ebay tips 201 - Selling on Ebay.
Ebay is a potential source of income where anyone with a product can make money. Scratch that, you don't even need a product to make money, but for this post, I am going share some tips on how to sell a product on Ebay.
The number one tip is to actually create a seller account, which is if you already hold buyer account, is simple enough to do. Once you are done we're ready to go. The next big step is to do a research on the product you are trying to sell. This can be accomplished in 2 ways. One way is to search Google for the product, the second is to search the actual ebay for the product. Existing auctions can be used as an inspiration of how to create your listing. Don't just copy the whole listing and change the detail to match your listing, its rude and unprofessional.
Next is to be as specific about the item as possible. Examine the item to be sure that you list everything thats visible.
When you put a title for your auction, don't use ALL CAPS. Using ALL CAPS is considered as yelling, and can sometimes make you look like a spammer. If there is someone looking for your item they will find it.
Finally, it is better to list your item in the evening then in the morning. Why? Because the item will end at the same hour and minute as it was listed, and if you chose 7-day listing, it will also end on the same day. As for the day of the week, list your item either on Tuesday or on weekends. Why Tuesday? I don't know. Then again, it all depends on the items you are trying to sell.
Hopefully you enjoyed reading this and learned something valuable. Ebay is a great place to make money, but it takes time and research to get the most out of it.
