This is a great thread. I have found a great way to sell books that I don’t want or need any longer. On http://www.bookjingle.com you enter the ISBN numbers on the back of the book and a price comes up for the books they will accept. It is really easy and they even give you a prepaid label to ship the books to them for free. It only took two days after they received my books to get paid by Paypal. I think they pay by check as well. It is much better than Ebay because you no exactly how much you are getting for each book, you don’t have to wait for bids to see if your item will even sell. My friends and family give me their books too when they are done with them.

Hi,

For about 8 years now, since I became a full-time SAHM, I’ve had a jewelry business in which I purchase inventory from a wholesale source and then retail it at festivals and the occasional home party. In the midwest, there are festivals (sometimes called craft shows, tho there are few actual “crafts”) in small towns every weekend. I set up a tent in a rented booth space and peddle my wares. For me, this is very seasonal and I’ve become very selective over the years as to which shows I will do and I only travel within 100 miles or less radius from home. My family goes with me for the day and we’ve met lots and lots of people and actually made some money. Through this experience, I’ve met other business owners and “crafters” who sell everything from candles to home made glass beads to purses and food items.

Best regards!

i work part time as a fitness instructor at a gym.
This allows me the flexibility to decide how many classes I want to teach and I get about $20 per hour long class. Everything I make from that goes into my vacation fund.

I stay at home with my girls, but devote every extra minute of my time to my Ebay store. Ebay has provided me a way to stay at home with my kids and I hope to continue to be at home with them until they are all school age. Since I have young kids I primarily focus on selling children's clothing and toys. I love the flexibility that it gives me. Jenny´s last blog post..~ Mercy Me 5K & Easter Egg Hunt ~
