“One of the fastest ways to score extra cash is to declutter something from your house and hawk it online, ” said J. Money, creator of BudgetsAreSexy. com and RockstarFinance. com.
His favorite site to sell items he no longer wants is Craigslist because it’s easy to use, and you don’t have to worry about shipping because you’re selling to local buyers.
“I try to list one new item a week — typically on Fridays right before the weekend hits — and the trick is pricing it right and taking lots of pictures, as well as writing a detailed description, which helps with search and keywords, ” he said.
Be sure to let potential buyers know that they can contact you by text message, which is how most of J. Money’s transactions occur.
