making real $$$ if you’re a poor college gal like me, you’re probably looking for easy ways to make money. i’m gonna share w you all the secrets to how i’ve made hundreds of dollars online w little to no effort. (really not tryna scam anyone here or even gain anything from this, just genuinely trying to help people out) 1. amazon trade-inok so idk ab anyone else but i have so many old dvds, books and CDs lying around my house. no one really uses dvds or CDs any more and books well i don’t have use for them anymore. amazon trade in lets you get rid of all of these items in exchange for an amazon gift card. they don’t take everything, so you’ll have to spend some time searching the items you have to get rid of and seeing if amazon offers a trade in for them. also some things they will only give you a few cents for but hey, they add up right? amazon gives you a prepaid shipping label so all you have to do is pack up your stuff and drop it off at a UPS store. the only catch is that you need a box to ship it in so you’ll need to buy one if you don’t have one already. i always just save every box i get from when i order stuff online for future re selling purposes.i got like $60 from my old android phone which was cracked and broken. they even took two of my broken wii remotes. i also sold my nintendo ds which i never play anymore, my ds games, and a wii game. they also accept other electronics so look around on their trade in site to see if they’ll accept anything you want to get rid of. (if you think you wont use an amazon gift card, remember that you can use amazon credit to purchase gift cards for in store places! i got a starbucks one but amazon offers plenty of gift cards) total earned: $159.66 2. mercarianother place to get rid of stuff you don’t need but this one doesn’t have restrictions on what you can sell, you can list whatever you want. download the free mercari app and you can start listing your items. people sell everyone from clothes to accessories to books to furniture on there. mercari takes 10% of whatever you make and there are options where you can either have the buyer pay for shipping and they’ll send you a free label OR you can pay for shipping and they’ll just deduct it right from your profit so you don’t have to pay for it at the post office. ofc you can ship on your own if you’d like. again you need your own boxes for this. mercari can be kind of slow so don’t expect your things to go too fast. i’ve had the app for a few months and i’ve only sold 4 items, still though it’s money i didn’t have before plus my old things are going to someone who will use them :) people can also be so cheap on here. i’ve gotten messages offering much lower than what i’ve listed on already very low priced items. mercari helps you out by offering to promote your items and by giving customers coupons. if you do get the app, look around on here! you can find some great deals. i got 2 phone chargers for $10 and a cute pair of boots for only $21. my last two orders are still processing but in total i’ve earned: $33.70 3. survey ui’m sure everyone has seen ads for those “fill out these surveys and we’ll pay you” websites. a bunch of them are crap because they’re either a. computer viruses b. surveys you have to “qualify” for (in which almost no one ever qualifies) or c. have incredibly low payouts and make it difficult for people to cash out. survey u is the only site i’ve found that is actually legit. the catch with it is that you can’t just do a bunch of surveys to earn fast cash, they email you when new ones are available. they also are time sensitive, so you can’t do a bunch of them months after they’re released. but if you’re someone who checks your email frequently, then this is good for you. every once and a while (i’m talking less than once a month) they’ll email you with a new survey. they usually take about 15-20 minutes to fill out and are each worth 75-100 reward points per survey. topics range from social media, shopping, electronics, politics, etc. answer HONESTLY. don’t just click random things because they check for consistency within your answers to see that you’re not just bullshitting them. they also throw in trick questions like “click the third choice below” to make sure that you’re actually reading the questions. they’re not that bad and you don’t have to take them too seriously just put a little bit of effort into it. reward points can be exchanged for either paypal cash, amazon gift cards, or money that can be donated to cancer research. with all this extra money you’re earning go ahead and donate a little to help people in need! 150 points = $5 and you can cash out at any time so it’s fairly easy to get money from them. as you can see i transfer almost all of my payments to my bank account immediately lmao. also sometimes i opted for amazon gift cards instead. total earned: $115 4. redbubblethis one requires a bit of creative talent haha but if you have any this is great for you. selling your designs on here is super easy! just upload your work and decide how much profit you want to earn. the default is 20% of the item cost but i bumped mine up to 30% bc my items were selling well :) i only sell stickers which earn between $0.12-0.75 per sticker but if your designs are popular that adds up real quick. as you can see i made next to nothing in the beginning but slowly my sales went up! i changed my payment method to direct deposit bc i got too lazy to keep transferring my balance from my paypal wallet haha. total earned: $153.69 5. global citizen i wouldn’t normally consider this a money making thing but i was looking through my paypal and i saw a payment indirectly related to it. so on the global citizen app you can earn points from doing tasks like tweeting, emailing, calling, signing petitions, etc. you can redeem these points most notably to win global citizen tickets in the fall, but year round you can redeem them for chances to win tickets to all kinds of events. i won two tickets to a country show at jones beach and sold them on stubhub. you could make money off this or even just win tickets to see concerts/sporting events so either way it’s a win! total earned: $50.40 (also i won global citizen festival tickets 2 years in a row) 6. buffalo exchangethis one’s kind of sad bc i made almost NOTHING from this lmao. so the thrift store buffalo exchange buys clothes from people to sell in their stores. if you don’t live close enough to one to go in person or if you’re like me and too lazy to actually go, you can sell clothes by mail! request a bag online and they’ll send it to you for free, with a prepaid shipping label to send it back to them. fill it up w all ur used clothes that are still in good condition, keep in mind that these go straight from the bag to the stores so they have to be clean and presentable. buff exchange really wants high quality clothes and they don’t accept things from stores like target, forever 21, old navy, kohl’s, h&m (which sucks for me bc p much all my clothes are from here!!) they’ll give you 50% of their selling price in store credit or 25% in paypal or check. i sold them a lot of crappy stuff when i first did this so i’m not surprised at how little i got. also i took the paypal when i should’ve taken the store credit bc buffalo exchange has some cute finds! anything that the store doesn’t buy they will donate to charity which is nice bc it was an easy way for me to clean out my closet and earn a little bit of money in the process. i’m in the process of doing it again rn (it takes about a month) and i filled my bag w more desirable pieces this time so i’m hoping i get something good out of this!! total earned: $5.75 GRAND TOTAL: $518.20 and i’m still earning more! i might’ve done more things that i’m forgetting but these are the main ones. any questions feel free to reach out! thanks :) x
