How to Make Money in Sydney with Craigslist

--- http://www.ozfinancialfreedom.com


Well you can make money anywhere with this special trick. I have found it works very well in Sydney thats all.

Craigslist is like a big classified ads website which people can advertise product/services on and they can also sell items online. There is a few things I want to tell you about this website and one of them is that you can use it to market your website /home business. You simply go to craigslist.org. Once there you look through the countries and select the country that applys to you. Then if you look in the right hand corner of your screen you should see Post. You Click Post and select where you want your ad to appear and then simply type in what you want to post. Very Simple. A few hints I will give you on this is that you want something that is catchy to grab peoples attention to view your ad over other peoples. Also craiglist does not like SPAM so please don't post your ad all over categories which don't apply to you.

The second thing I want to talk to you about Craigslist.org is the potential to buy things off there for bargain prices and then resell those items on EBAY and make a profit. I actually have a friend who makes a full time living off this. He makes over $1,000 p/week by using this system. Now before you say "I have heard this one before, this sounds like another overhyped business opportunity" just remember I am giving you this little bit of information with nothing in it for myself so there is no reason to lie about it. It is going to make no difference to me whether or not you take this opportunity up.

So lets go back 2 years ago. My friend Paul was tired of working 40 hours p/week for a boss who didn't appreciate his hard work and paid him $400 p/week. He was always saying to me, I need to come up with an idea that will make me enough money that I could work for myself. As time went by he continued working his $400 p/week job and wasting money he didn't have to begin with doing all kinds of things from stuffing envelopes to paying yes actually paying to sign up to survey companies that promised to find him $150 p/day in surveys for him to fill out. He wasted so much money and after being fed up and frustrated with not getting anywhere he decided that maybe it was best to come up with an idea all of his own. This is where his craigslist business came in. He noticed that people on craigslist are generally people who just want to offload items and are willing to not get paid top dollar just to have their money today. What he would do is look through the classifieds on craigslist and look at certain items, mainly electronic goods. Then he would look at what they were going for on EBAY and work out how much he would have to buy it for off someone on Craigslist, be able to list it on EBAY and still make a profit. He would then give the seller a call and make an offer to buy the goods. He likes to work on 30-50% profit so say the item is selling on EBAY for $180 he would look for a similar item on craigslist and try and get it for around $100-$120 that way allowing him a profit. The good thing about craigslist is you can look at close areas to where you live as well. You organise and time it so you can go out and pick up a few items at a time. There is always plenty of stuff to buy on craigslist and the reason is that people love the site due to it being free to advertise. So there you have it that is one business opportunity that actually works and is very easy to run and highly profitable.
