Right now we have the internet and a vast opportunity for earning money online. You can simply make a good profit by buying and selling items. In the western world this is a popular way for online earning however in our region buying and selling goods is not a preferred way to earn money.

In America, Canada, UK or other western countries there are pawn shops, thrift shops and people who specially deal with buying and selling items in order to make a profit. They simply purchase old items, sometimes repair them and sell it for a high price.

In my place, Bangladesh –not everyone has this selling mentality and buying/selling stuff for earning a living is compared to the scrap dealers. I assume in India, Pakistan and other neighbor countries, the situation is the same. But we need to upgrade our mentality because selling something doesn’t means that I am poor or I am a hustler. I see this is a way to transfer my property to a new owner who needs it. Let me show you how exactly you can do this. 

I have to share this, buying and selling is a great way for earning money online. You don’t have to go to scrap dealer to sell some item. There are online marketplaces like ebay, flipkart, olx, bikroy, clickbd or cellbazaar for doing this on the internet.

When I was young I started buying cheap computer parts from scrap dealers and then fix them and sold these items for 3-5 times profit. I remember buying a laptop hard disk for just TK100 and selling it for TK1,900. Once I bought an old computer for TK10,000 and sold it for Tk13,000. Now see how much profit I made just by doing this. And I am proud of it because I was earning money when my other friends were just spending money.

There are literally thousand ways of earning money online if you put your brains on it. I bet there are things on your household that you are going to throw away anyway. Post these items on a marketplace like olx, flipkart, quickr or ebay. See other related items to get an idea how much people are willing to pay for it, then sell it. Then add more items for sale, if you have friends who want to do the same, put their ads too.

Ebay, olx, clickbd or bikroy.com are sites for earning money online for free. This is simply because most of these sites allow you to post your ad for free. Just think about it, thousands of buyers visit those pages daily and you are allowed to get in-front of them for free.

There are garage sales or yard sales in America. Mainly they put together all the things they don’t want to keep and have a sale. This way they can get rid of these items + earn some extra money to buy new things. Think of the online buying selling marketplace as your internet yard sale. You can also buy items from your friends for cheap, maybe fix them and sell them online for more.

Some people are collectors of antique items. Once you have made some connection with these people by selling them good stuff, you can sell them more. This is because antique collectors usually are rich and always looking for more things to add in their collection.

Quite frankly buying and selling stuff is a profitable way for earning money online from home. Just keep looking for deals and you will earn a lot of money online.

When dealing with strangers, stay alert and always do these deals/meeting with a friend of yours in a public place. When you post some private info on the internet, it becomes public so be sure what to share and what not. Some of these sites will let you post your phone number for the buyer to call you so I suggest you get an extra SIM card just for these calls. Also it is wise to just put your first name and not the last name for added privacy. Hope things go well, all the best in earning money online!
