Hey there! I'm new here but I've been slowly making my way up the IM ladder over the past few years. When I first started, I wanted to build my business from the ground up, so I wanted to make some cash to invest in things like traffic, domains/hosting, outsourcing, etc. What I did was really simple but that's the key - if you live in a large city, you can use Craigslist/Freecycle legitimately to bring in hundreds of dollars weekly. This is what I did: 1. Go to Craigslist and get yourself an account if you don't have one, or go to Freecycle.com. 2. Head to your city's section and go to the For Sale - Free classifieds 3. Look for items that you know can be resold quickly in your area. It doesn't matter how much you can get for it - any sales you make are 100% profit! 4. Though it's not 100% the intention of either site to resell stuff you got for free, it is still allowed. Re-list the item and wait for the offers to come in! There ya go! This will not put buckets of cash in your pocket, but you CAN make some extra money, TODAY, that can be used for IM expenses (as long as you aren't afraid of a little work). Hope this helps somebody out.
Some good advice. Another twist it to hit up all the garage sales going on in your or surrounding neighborhoods. Spring is a great time for this as many people are moving/getting rid of excess. You can pick up some great deals, and guess what I'm sure there's someone on Craig's List that would pay you a bit more
