STIMULATE YOUR OWN ECONOMY!

Take matters into your own hands and put extra cash in your pocket, NOW…

Every time I turn on the news there’s another update on the economic stimulus package, interest rates, and all the doom and gloom – who’s approved what, when will we see the effects, and what it might mean for me - and then I think, why wait?

There is an opportunity for all of us here!There are plenty of things we can all do to jump start our own household economies and add a little extra cash to our weekly income, and it won’t cost billions!

Here are five quick tips on how you can earn some extra cash….

• Clear Out The Clutter – Clear out your basement and the attic, take clear photographs of all the things you haven’t used in a year (be tough about this) and sell them online.

• Put Your Hobbies To Good Use – Whether you like to knit, sew, paint or make bird houses, put your talents to good use and start selling items online. Make a small number of items, post them online and see what sells.

• Trawl Garage Sales For Bargains – Once you understand what sells well online, visit garage sales in your area and haggle to make sure you pay no more than 50% of what you intend to sell it for.

• Collectibles Can Be Fun To Trade – Many people enjoy trading collectibles as a hobby and some manage to make a good living, but if you are new to trading collectibles, start with low priced items and watch other stores and sites to see what sells and how much it sells for.

• List It And See If It Sells – You’ll be amazed at what people buy on the internet, and as they say, ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’. Take a clear picture, decide a fair price, describe your items honestly and let the internet do the rest.

Most of all, be honest in your descriptions and make sure to have fun along the way!
