Making Money Selling Online

This is idea for the stay-at-home mom who has a little extra time on her hands.

The internet selling industry is big. Many people make a great living off of it, and it's a wonderful way to make an income. So often it's hard to sell things locally, so people advertise their items online and customers from around the world buy.

The key to making money online is selling your item at a higher price than you bought it for. If you buy something for dirt cheap and sell it at a fair price, the profit you make from the sell could be enormous.

But the big question is: 'Where can I buy something for cheap, and sell it for more?'. It's simple! Go to thrift stores, yard sales, police auctions, newspaper ads, store sales, out of business blowouts, etc. One of the best places to buy things for cheap is a storage unit auction. If somebody rents the storage unit and fails to pay, then their possessions get sold at auctions to get the money back. Most everything sold is extraordinarily inexpensive.

Another awesome place to buy is online. You can find good deals for anything online. A lot of internet sellers buy online, then sell online for a higher price. Often sellers will ask for a low price because they need the money, and you can buy it at an insanely low price.

Where are you going to sell the product though? There's many websites on the internet that allow you to sell your product online. The most popular is Ebay (http://www.ebay.com). For quick payment you set up a Paypal account and people can effortlessly pay you online with their credit or debit card.

A few other great websites are Amazon (http://www.amazon.com) and Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org).

Selling online can take a lot of work, but the effort you put into it will determine the amount you earn!

Bed and Breakfast

Projected Profit:$1000-$4000/month

This is for the stay-at home mom living near a tourist attraction, and has a spare unused bedroom in the house.

Bed and Breakfast's are convinient in tourist towns, especially when all the hotels are booked. People are looking for a place to stay, and you're the one to provide it for them. The idea is simple: Open a room in your house to tourists looking for a place to stay. There's big money involved in this, because most likely the hotels are booked and you can charge a high price for your services.

Be sure to provide them with their own bathroom to wash up in, towels, soap, and of course breakfast in the morning. Provide great service, offering to carry their bags to their room, and telling them to call you if they need anything, and make a delicious breakfast in the morning. It may sound tedious, but when you make your customer feel at home, your bed and breakfast will become popular.

You're going to need to wash the sheets after every guest, and clean up after they have left. Make sure you put signs all through town advertising your bed and breakfast, and giving a phone number to call you. If a tourist sees this advertisement, they will call you!

Let's say that you took in 10 tourists a month. You would charge them $100-$400 for the night (which is reasonable for what you're offering). The profit behind that would be $1000-$4000 a month, just for taking in people a few times a month. It's a great way to make an income, and you may even be able to live off that!
