Making Money Online (selling)

Surveys do not pay you like they say they will. Don't get me wrong there is lots of sites saying that they will pay you to take surveys but honestly, I have not found one to pay me yet. I only found ones that you refer people with and you get paid.

There are all kinds of articles for you to read on how so and so has made so much money or how they get paid but honestly I don't even think its real. I've tried and tried but they did not work. I got so fed up with it I deleted my account after 6 months of opening it due to it was not honest. Affiliate marketing could work if you get your audience but don't count on it because I've been doing it for a year and still have not made anything advertising for Rakuten marketing or Amazon. You get paid by selling things for them to people and you get a certain percentage of what it sold for. I have not even sold anything on either and guess what I had to go in and reopen my amazon affiliate marketing because it closed itself all because I didn't meet the requirements of selling something. There is a lot of work to affiliate marketing from posting advertisements that are appropriate while trying to figure out what people are into and it gets hard and frustrating because it is a lot of balancing trying to figure out what is popular and what isn't.

eBay and Amazon are nice but the fees get expensive and there is lots to worry about. There are honest people in this world but then there are people on eBay trying to scam people and try to get things free. Trust me we have ran into this recently and decided to shut down the store because it was not worth it anymore and sometimes the fees are more than you make which puts you in the whole and you barely make anything unless you price things higher.

Facebook market and sale groups and apps like let-go, craigslist, offer-up or any other sites you meet face to face are nice but sometimes it can take forever to sale something but its like this on anything you sell on.  ALSO BE SURE TO MEET IN PUBLIC FOR YOU SAFETY I!!! Sometimes you will have a no show and you waste your time and gas trying to sale things so be sure to message them and let them know if you cannot make it and be sure to ask if they are coming. We tell people the time and the kind of car we are in to let them know and then we tell them where we are parked.Not all people are like this but there are a couple. There was also a couple of people who have gotten robbed over a phone so be safe and bring another person with you. Please do not go alone if you can help it. You could also do shipping on these if you don't wanna bother meeting them just on the post put shipping available and make sure you charge enough to cover the shipping weight.

Mercari is nice and I love it! The only thing is you don't get your money until you ship the item and it reaches the buyer. This is a safety thing so that you cannot scam or be scammed.The app lets people know when their package is there and they have 48 hours to rate you and if they do not then the workers of Mercari rates you for them and you will get your money. I absolutely love how it is set up and it works great. You don't even have to hunt the shipping label because when something is sold and paid for it is emailed to you. It also takes it fees out of it for you so you don't have to worry and when you post the listing it will tell you how much it is taking.

Etsy is a site for handmade crafts but you can basically sell it anywhere not just there. i have an account but never sold anything. I felt it was to much of a hassle and you have to pay.20 per listing which isn't to bad but I just don't like the way its set up or the platform.
