The easiest way that I make money online is by selling items on eBay and Craigslist. The only problem with selling on these two platforms is that you need merchandise to sell. The challenge is where do you source items to sell. There are many web sites that you can find some great deals and that offer free shipping. One site that I have used is FactoryOutletStore.com.

This site has all the top brands and the trick is to look for items on sale or on clearance. If you find a great item check eBay and see if you can resell the item. You might also get top dollar in the local market by listing on Craigslist. Most local customers might have never come across a similar product and you can make money. Look for unique items that sell well.

The last few weeks have be very slow for me. The number of sales I made drop to the single digits on average I was making more then 40 sales a week. Now I know why eBay cut the workforce. The times are tough if you start to lose eBay sales or see a drop. This is when not having all your egg’s in one basket can pay off. Since I also have ecommerce sites and affiliate sites the drop in sales on eBay can be recouped thorough my other sites. With the spare time I know have from not having to pack and ship items I will start a few more web sites.
