How to make money on line

Making Money online - selling books on Ebay

Ebay is one of the major success stories on the internet and it is really user friendly.
I am sure many people have bought stuff on Ebay but have you ever tried to sell something on Ebay
and make a bit if money for yourself.

What can you sell on Ebay which is easy to ship and does not get damaged?
The answer is books - books is one of Ebay's top selling items.
They don't need to be new just in good condition.

If you are a bit like me you probably have a book case which is jammed pack with different books.
Many of these books you may already have read once and have no intention of reading them again.
So why not let them may some money for you.

Selling Books on Ebay

It is relatively easing selling books on Ebay compared to other items.
As books are quite sturdy you don't have to be over concerned about how you package them especially if they
are paper backs. There are many different types of packaging options available which can be easily used.

Hardcover books such as cook books for instance will need a bit of extra packaging but by adding light weight bubble wrap they can be shipped
as well. Cook books are great as many people do collect cook books.

Series of books are good sellers as well so if you have a complete series of Sharpe it could be a little goldmine.

Payment

Make sure you set up a Paypal account so that you can get paid easily. Paypal is still the best way of getting paid online.

Short of books?

What do you do when you run out of books? Don't let that stop you.
Always keep a look out for interesting books and perhaps even rare books in charity shops,second hand shops, car boots and you may even find someone selling a larger quantity of books for a good price. A selection of titles could be well worth investing in.

One of the best places to find books is charity shops or second hand shops. Books are normally very reasonably priced second hand and sometimes
you kind find some unusual and rare books.

Do a bit of research

Find out a little bit the books you are selling and start a literature blog. Blogs are great for writing reviews and highlighting what you have for sale.
A  lot of blogs also let you link into the actual items for sale. If someone is interested in purchasing the book you have for sale all they need to do is to click on the
link and buy the book. If you are unsure on how to write a book or author's review check out my review on Black Beauty - old editions of this book are very collectable.

Participate in forums and find  which books are selling well at the moment and what people are looking for. In a lot of forums you can also post links so you could for instance post a link to you blog which could result in a sale.

Shipping

Post office is one of the best way to ship books, and you can easily check prices on line. Click here for a link to the Spanish post office Correos.
Another fantastic service available in Spain is a company called MRW. This is a Spanish transport company with a branch in almost every town and they specialise
in small packages. Not only do they ship stuff within the border of Spain but also the rest of the world. Have a look at MRW here.

I am going to stop writing now as it is time for you to go and have a look at that overflowing book case. Make yourself a list of what you would like to sell. It is a good idea to list the title of the book, author, ISBN number and make a note if it is a paper back or hard back.

 

Are you the proud owner of your own web site or blog?
 Are you looking to make an income from the internet?
Would you like to sell products on line without any hassle?

In that case this is for you.

Many of us know that Amazon is the biggest e-commerce shop and you can purchase virtually anything from Amazon.
So how can you benefit from Amazon's success? Actually is not that difficult  . . . you can become an Amazon affiliate and market their products which would earn you an income.

Here are some of the reasons why you should consider becoming an Amazon affiliate.

Number One - Amazon has a great range of product to choose from. You can browse through Amazon just like you would in a store and find the product which you would like to promote. Amazon do not tell you which product to promote so you can choose the product or products yourself. There are lots of products so you can build up your own product directory and promote multiple  products.

Number Two  - it is really easy to start selling Amazon products on you web site. Each product has a code, and you don't need any special programing knowledge as you just copy and paste the code into your web site. The product link can be inserted where you would like to place it.

Number Three - Amazon has a really good reputation for delivering goods on time and dealing with any issues which may arise from a customer's purchase. Most online shoppers trust Amazon more than any other online store.

Number Four - through my own experience I have noticed that people tend to buy more than one product when they shop on Amazon. As an Amazon affiliate you would earn commission on all purchases made through your Amazon link. A single commission may not be particularly  high however when your customer purchase multiple products it soon ads up.

Number Five - the best thing about Amazon is that you can actually build your own affiliate store with very little effort, The are some great plugins to use and Amazon will do all the shipping and handling for you. Make sure you pick products which you may have some knowledge of and find your own little niche. Book reviews and movie reviews are always popular.

Payment is easy. You can get paid directly into your bank account or alternatively put your earnings towards an Amazon gift certificate. If you would like to know more click here and go directly to the Amazon Affiliate program.

 

Social media has been a real revolution for many people. Not only is it possible to stay in touch with friends and family but you can also get paid to stay in touch. I have so many friends with big a following on Twitter and I am always reminding them to monetize their Tweets. Yes you can now get paid to Tweet.

There are a number of sites actually offering this service and I have check some of the out and found that it actually works.
Most of the time you will get paid by Paypal which is great because you can spend the money you get on line or have the funds transfered to your bank.

You are not going to become a millionaire by Tweeting however it all ads up and if you already monetized blog it could be a nice add on.

If you are interested here are some of the best sites which offers paid Tweets.

Twtmob.com - easy to use site which allows you to create your own profile. Advertisers check out your profile and offer you campaigns which you can then send as Tweets. Easy to follow instructions and your account is credited . Once your account balance hits $50 you are paid out through Paypal. The great thing about TWTmob is that you control your own campaigns.

Socibuzz - this is a really innovative site and you are not restricted to using Twitter. This site stands out a little bit as you can also use from Facebook, Google +, Linkedln,
Blogger and Myspace. I find it really great for Google+. The advertisers on this site pays you when you send visitors to their sites. It all depends on how much traffic you can generate but you can generate a serious amount of traffic from Socibuzz because it is so versatile.

Sponsoredtweets.com - you can really personalise this and you do that by adding the categories you are interested in. The advertiser will send you offers and you decide to accept their offer or reject it. This tends to be a very busy site so it is worth signing up for. Once again as soon as your balance hits $50 you will get paid out.

MyLikes.com Once again this is a campaign site and you sign up for different campaigns. On Mylikes.com you can use Twitter, Tumblr or video posts. When someone clicks on your comments which are tracked and you will get paid per campaign. Quality comments equals more money on this site so focus on writing good quality comments which are key word friendly.

It may initially seem to be a lot of work to start generate income but once you are up and running you will see the benefits. Like I said earlier it will not make you rich but if you are already active on the internet it is a nice extra income. Let's face it - every bit helps.
