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.

Do you have to own a domain first before signing up to the Ebay Partner Network?

As I've just tried going through the steps, and it wants me to prove I own a domain.

Thanks
