Get Rid of Stuff and Make Some Money

So, you have some things you want to get rid of? Who doesn't right? I always have things I want to clear out of my house and getting rid of things is even better when it brings in a little extra cash. You're likely thinking that I'm going to say Ebay right? Nope. That costs money in shipping and it cost money to put it up on your site. I'm talking about UsedCanada.

What is UsedCanada?

UsedCanada is a site that allows Canadians to sell their good in their own city. That means no shipping. And it costs nothing to post your ads. Post as many as you like for one price - FREE. That's a good price for me! Each city has it's own site. This is way easier than Ebay and easier than any other site I've looked at to sell stuff on. Their traffic is getting higher and higher every single day, too, so that means that there are more people seeing your ads.

Another great benefit of the site is that you can have your own store. Yes, an entire store with just your ads on it. Check out mine here:

At the moment there is only one thing on there but that's because I recently cleared everything else out. If you're wondering what is so great about a store, think about it for a moment. Have you seen those links at the bottom of people's emails when they send them from Yahoo? Well, you can put a link like that at the bottom of your email, too. That way people know what you're selling and what you're getting rid of. And if they forward you're email to someone it will be attached! So all their friends will see it. And so on. If you have a Facebook page you can put a link on it and advertise your store. If you belong to a Mom's Group you can print out little business cards to hand out to everyone. Hell, keep a few in your purse to give to friends or when you hear that someone at work is looking for a such and such that you just happen to have in your store.

If you're really inspired you can watch for good deals at flea marts, garage sales, and marked down items in stores. These things will sell because lots of people don't have time to run around looking for the deals. If you do - turn it into a business.

Thousands of people make money - and sometimes a substantial amount of it - selling things on Ebay and you can make money with this, whether you turn it into a business or just get rid of some of the things that are cluttering up your home.
