Selling things you no longer need on Ebay  

All you need is a computer and products to sell, if you do the proper research and get a system down it can be pretty profitable. The reason you want to do research is you want to make sure that you are standing out, it is a competitive market and standing out is important. You can find things around the house, yard sales, and flea markets and resell them for a higher price and flip them for a profit.  

 Making money on eBay isn’t rocket science. The key is to be consistent and devote the time.

Blogging 

I blog about all things motherhood, family, DIY recipes, and family. The nice thing about blogging is there is no overhead. Blogging can be a lot of work upfront. The key is to find your niche and something that you love talking about, or your experience and write about it.  

So how do you monetize a blog?

  Get to know who your audience and give them what they need, this is key. Building an email list, focus on affiliate products, and eventually create your own product.  

There are so many wonderful resources out there to start a blog, most of your time, in the beginning, will be spent researching and learning. 

It is a lot of work but can be very profitable.
