Ebay World!

I know many of you heard and read stories of people making tons of money from ebay. Well here is how you can make a small chunk.

  1. Sell your own products on ebay rather than selling it in a yard sale.
  2. Sell products for other people on ebay – There are a lot of people who don’t know how to use ebay, or don’t want to connect their bank account on ebay.
  3. Buy goods on ebay and then resell it for a decent price. (Luck matters)
  4. Buy goods elsewhere for cheap, then resell it on ebay.
  5. Sell Junk on ebay.

Don’t have conscience?

Points below are meant to be sarcastic and tell you how some people make money online. I strongly suggest that you guys DO NOT use the methods below!

  1. Do Homework for students and charge them.
  2. Make Fake Myspace Profiles, Add tons of friends using friend adder, then sell bulletins.
  3. Sell Products via email. Spam your friends! Beware if you do this to me I will really send you in spam list.
  4. Refer people to take surveys and earn commission.

It is a list that I created out of fun. If you can think of more ways, definitely put them in the comments area and I will add it. If you like this post please digg / stumble it.

This is a great post. Though selling hardcover books through a publisher doesn’t really clasify as making money online. This is an awesome list which you should definately turn into an ebook or something

i keep going back and forth on the question of replying to comments on my blog. some bloggers say you absolutely have to reply to every comment, but that just seems forced and pointles to me — not to mention taking quite a bit of time. i sometimes reply to commenters via email, though. i recently installed a plugin to do that automatically (you recommended it to me, if i recall) but that’s not working properly yet. this blogging is a never ending story, it seems — i thought all i’d have to do was WRITE! but no.

Nice to see you here, Jackie. How’s it going? It’s been awhile since the last time we crossed path.

Anyway, in regard to your comment above, I for one am one blogger who makes every effort to reply to every comments the best I can for one simple reason – that is people like to feel appreciated and with that little appreciation, connection (aka friendship) is built.

Gone are the days when we could stick to “if I built it, they will come” mentality so writing alone is never enough. Good content without promotion is pointless. Speaking of promotion, what better way than to reply to your readers’ comment and to reciprocate the same on their sites.

Just my morning 2 cents…

There are tons of marketers out there looking to capitalize on the growth of the MMO industry. This list is great, both as a general tool, and as a specific breakdown of different skill sets that can be used to make some money. I love the final suggestions too, let’s just hope no one uses them!

The guy before me is right, selling things on ebay is a great way to make money, however if you don’t want to give away things then this is a great option that I have been using for almost a week.

Wow that’s a lot of ideas. A lot of people are really trying to make some extra money online, but I think they struggle with starting. A lot of your ideas could be really simple to do if they put their mind to it

Hmmm…

Now that was awakening. That little ditty on the end of the thread was…what was the word…hilarious? Of course, of course, if you want to annoy people fast, you should do it…otherwise, DON’T!

That was a well written article man, great read. Reminds me a lot of this site I went to, masterlistbuilder.com.

This list should be useful and could pass as an ‘idiot’s guide’, so to speak.
