#10 - Virtual Farming

Are you a gamer? Good, because in today's world, you can also make money playing your games! Virtual Farming is where you play a game, find what the currency is in that game, which would be gold, or in some cases "items." You find these items, or gold, and collect them up and sell them for real money. This would be like selling pixels for money. Your profit margin would be like 100% almost, because all you need is a computer, your game, electricity, and internet connect, which you would have all of that stuff anyways.

Some games to look into:

Diablo 3
World of Warcraft
Second Life
Runescape

How to sell you items would be totally up to you to figure out. Some people used to sell Diablo 2 items on ebay until they banned it. Then they started their own websites and created "item stores" which sold the goods and even had a checkout cart, plus 24/7 customer service. They pay for the item, and will deliver the item to you virtually within a few hours, or in some cases minutes.

All in all this is a real neat idea for you to try out. As I'm writing this article, I have the old ball rolling, thinking about it myself :).

#9 - Yard Sale

Money Making Tip #8 - Yard Sale:

I'm sure you have already thought of the idea of having a yard sale to make extra money. The question is, how much thought did you really put into it? Take a walk around your house, in your closet, through your garage, or out buildings. Are you ever going to use those things again? Do you really need it? 

Here some idea's on how to sort though the things you want to keep, versus the things you wouldn't mind getting rid of.

  • Tear everything out and put them on one big pile.
  • Sort through everything, item by item. Sort them into 2 piles, the keeps, and the items you wish to sell.
  • Start sifting though the items you want to sell, and start pricing everything in your head.
Now to sell the items. Everyone is familiar with the traditional yard sale, where you put everything out on the front lawn and hope someone driving by wants to buy your items. You can still do it that way, but now with the internet, you have other ways to do it as well. 

  1. Ebay - List your small items to sell on ebay. Keep the shipping low, or free!
  2. Craigslist - Craigslist is free to post and sell your items. Most everything is "local" pickup.
  3. Facebook - Search for your area on Facebook and see what "groups" they have. In my area they have "Community Yard Sale" groups where you can upload a picture and others will ask what you want for the item.
  4. Classifieds - I'm sure you have a newspaper or something in your area where you can post classifieds for free. Check out your local gas stations for the papers.
Get rid of all your stupid junk that you will never use again, and pay off some of those dang bills! Or better yet...fill your gas tank up to the top!
