In the "For Sale" category of CraigsList, there is a section called "free stuff". In this section, people give away stuff they don't want, for free. You simply have to go pick them up. Some times people even include pictures of these items.

Register for a free CL account Go to CraigsList and register for a free account, if you already don't have one. You can register for free and it only takes a few seconds.

Search CL to Find free items There is a section called "free stuff" in the "For Sale" category of CraigsList. Search that section looking for free items in good shape. Sometimes you have to contact the owner to let them know you are going to pick it up, but in most cases, they will put the item in front of their drive way, which you just have to go there and pick it up.

Clean it up to make it look presentable It pays off to spend a few minutes to clean it up or whatever it needs to make it look better. For example, if its a desk, put a fresh coat of paint on it. Just make the item look as nice as you can.

Don't forget the pictures! Ads with pictures usually draw more attention. When people look for stuff to buy on CraigsList or anywhere else for that matter, they tend to click on ads with pictures. People want to see what it looks like. So, spend a few minutes taking a few pictures of the item from different angles.

Its sale time! Simply log in and list your item in the "for sale" category, under the appropriate section. This is very important, make sure you find and list your item under the right section. For example, if the item is a chair, listed under "furniture". Make sure to ad a good description of the item or if the item has some history to it, be sure to mention it. Give all the information you can to the audience, You never know what little detail may make someone to buy that item form you. Don't forget to put your phone number or email address, so buyers can get in touch with you.

The good thing about making money CL using this method is that you dont need any especial skills for it. All you need is a free CraigsList account and willingness to put some time and effort into it. All you have to do is find free items, pick them up and list them for sale.

Another good thing is that you do not need any money to make money. You are finding worthy free items and selling them for a profit and whatever you sale them for, all of it is pure profit! It's basically a work from home job that allows you to start making money right away with no money and now especial skills.

Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho - Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:- You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. regards, Mal.
Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers - When I came back to Japan in 1999 I sometimes used to ask my students if they would buy anything on the Internet and at that time most thought it was too risky. I'd encourage them to try by using well known sites such as Amazon.co.jp and also pointed out that using a credit card on a reputable site was safer than using it at a restaurant. I can't remember the last time I had that discussion or when the "tipping point" occurred in Japan. To answer your other question, I use Paypal for several reasons: 1. Brand familiarity 2. Easy to use 3. Free to withdraw 50,000yen+ to my Japanese bank account - a huge benefit (but maybe other systems also offer that...?) 4. Easy to cancel subscriptions On the down side, their transaction fees are quite costly, they are difficult to contact and when disputes arise you can sometimes lose even when you can prove via your tracking service that the disputed item was "delivered" to the customer's address!
