Tip #3: Sell something on eBay today

Posted by BlogNo Comments

Today’s tip is to sell something from your house on eBay. But surprisingly, it doesn’t really matter what you sell.

If you’re already being frugal, the next step is to make money. I want you to succeed in this challenge, so today’s tip is designed to be a gradual step to earning more. It’s specifically intended for two purposes: To symbolize to yourself that you can sacrifice by selling something and to symbolize that you can make more money than your standard income. Once you do that, you will start to think of many other ways to generate additional income.

 

Everybody can sell something. Something you’ve wanted to get rid of or something you keep insisting you’ll use that always falls out of the cupboard when you open it, but you know you really won’t. This tip applies to everyone.

 

You probably won’t make very much from selling an item on eBay, and it’s frankly probably not worth your time to sell, pack, and ship a $10 item. But that’s not the point. The point is the symbolism of cleaning your life and generating even a small amount of money above and beyond what you usually earn.

 

Make sure you pick something that will sell for a decent amount — say, $30. No, nobody wants your grandma’s old jumper or used slippers.

Remember, the point of this is not to make money. It’s to psychologically commit yourself to saving money. It doesn’t matter if you make $30 or $300. Then do it a few more times this month.

Total savings: $40 to $100
