After the support from the Ebay + Craigslist Post, and the lackluster support of my affiliate link, I decided to get back into the Ebay for profit kick. So here it is: How to find a great deal on Ebay for reselling or just personal benefit.
This is extremely simple; this search engine here, powered by fatfingers.co.uk, will automatically search Ebay for any item you search for, including any variation of the word you were looking for.
The way this works: When Ebay posts an item and you search for it, it only shows exact matches, so misspellings very commonly get overlooked. This can be used for your benefit if you're a reseller, or if you're doing the method I posted about previously, people are more likely to buy from you because you showed them an item they may very well have paid much more for.

Passive Income via Email Marketing
This is an interesting one I came across about a week ago. They are called "Take the Internet Back". The premise of the site is that you sign up with an email address, they send you emails and you get paid a percentage of the advertising cost to send that email to you. Here's the rundown:
Ease: 4.5/5 (It's not automatic income, but again, all you have to do is click a link)
Money: 3/5 (You need to get 2 people to join under you, but 2 people is easy. Feel free to post your affiliate links in the comment box if you need people, let me know when you reach your 2 so I can remove you, it's only fair everyone gets a shot.)
Startup: 5/5 (Follow the process and they give you $10 to start with)
Steps:
Step 1: Go to their website: Take the Internet Back(Affiliate Link)
Step 2: Click the join tab on top and follow the account creation procedures.
BE CAREFUL! If you use Gmail, it may send directly to your junk box, but don't worry, you can use the website to verify your reads.
Step 3: Go back to the page under my account, hopefully you will see a list of unread emails, simply click on the link and it will take you to an advertisement. At the bottom of the email there is a "click to confirm read" link, simply click and viola, a point.
Step 4: By doing this, you are getting ownership of this company, the more points to get, the more money you receive.
Step 5: Simply confirm emails once a day for 30 days, and you become a permanent owner of this site.
NOTE: Unfortunately, there is no point = $ ratio, because it changes by the day, but as they pay out, you get a percentage, and since you can only get 10 points a day by reading emails, it's a good idea to get started early.
Best of all, it's free, so create a dump email that you don't mind getting spammed and go to town. At the very worst, it will take 5 minutes of your time to confirm the emails.
Affiliate links for fellow browsers, comment in the box, or send me an email at 03cents@live.com to get yourself listed.

Make Easy Money with Ebay and Craigslist
This is a great starter program; it requires no startup capital, no sales, no referrals, and you can make decent money in a short amount of time, and very little work.
Step 1: Register at: affiliates.ebay.com. This will cause you to become a member of Commission Junction (Which I might add, is a decent site for other affiliate offers as well.)
Registering with Ebay in general is usually a good idea as well, because it helps you track auctions, especially if you're sending people to hot ticket items.
Step 2: Visit Craigslist; find the wanted section:
Step 3: Find someone who's looking for something simple; say, Disney Movie Memorabilia, find an item on Ebay matching the description.
Now the fun begins.
Step 4: Get the full link on the top of the auction and go to Ebay's flex tool.
You can find your PID when you log in to Commission Junction, go to My Account and Click "Website Settings"
WARNING: Your PID is NOT in the upper right hand of the site. See this image:
Step 5: Send the person an email letting them know you found what they were looking for and give them the edited link. If they buy the item, you get a percentage of Ebay's revenue on the item and if they are a new member, you get paid for the lead.
Not much more to it, make sure to keep on it, even if you don't make a ton of money right away. The program is proven, it's easy, and at the very least, may pay your electric.
Here's another useful tip: People want to save money on top of everything else, if you refer them to Ebay for the same price they can find something at Target, they wont buy from you. Try using the search engine on this blog Here . It will allow you to search for common misspellings of words so you can find those hidden gems.
Have good luck? Want me to include something I left out? leave a comment.
