Americans are expected to shell out roughly $1,000 during the holiday season. The earlier you start to earn holiday money, the easier it becomes.
College students can earn money doing everything from tutoring to charging electric scooters. Here are some ideas.Naturally, the easier of these two choices is to sell something you already have. Dozens of websites will help you advertise your good-condition used goods. Some will even help you collect payment. However, the best places to list your goods will depend on what you have.
Facebook Marketplace also offers a shipping-and-payments option, taking a 5% cut of those transactions. All listings are public, but for those who want to sell on the social network’s platform without calling attention to it, Facebook offers a “Hide from friends” option. Depending on the city and the type of item, Craigslist may draw more potential buyers. So if what you’ve got isn’t getting much traction at Facebook Marketplace, you may want to list it on Craigslist, too. There’s no downside to listing on both sites at the same time.
One caution: Payment fraud has become a massive problem in recent years and free sales platforms like these are top targets for the con artists who perpetuate, you can market more widely. So, if you have unique items likely to appeal only to a niche market, this site gives you the best chance of finding the perfect customer. You will have to manage shipping arrangements for out-of-town buyers, however.
