Welcome To My Blog

Welcome to my make money on craigslist blog! I started out as most do, trying to find random things around your house to sell for extra money. Once I did that – I learned that it is fairly easy to make money on craigslist and it was different than making money other places. Once I saw this, I started spending a few hours on craigslist over the weekends and making some great money, better than any other thing I have done.

Before I dig into that more, let me take a big step back and tell you how I got started.

I was a freshman at San Diego State and on top of the world. I lived in my own place on a granny flat on my parents property which means I paid no rent and had a place all to myself. I had a job that paid some what decent money for being 18. I had a girlfriend I was just started to get serious with. I was living the dream for an 18 year old. But that changed quickly.

In October of 2003, I lost every physical thing I owned. And when I say everything, I literally mean everything. There was a huge wildfire in San Diego that year and the property I lived on was destroyed. I ran from the house with literally the shirt on my back and the shoes on my feet. I didn’t even have socks!

No big deal, right? Insurance takes care of everything. Yes – if we had it. My parents were somewhat old school in their beliefs and didn’t have any insurance. I was up the creek without a paddle. And that started a spiral downward that pushed me over the edge. I struggled to catch up in school after taking so many days out, which eventually didn’t happened and I flunked out my freshman year. I cut back on my hours at work, to this day I still have no good reason why, which mean no money coming in. And on top of all of that, I decided that this would be a great to move out with my girlfriend. At the time, great idea for us. Bad idea for money.

Life goes on though, and eventually things started smoothing out. I went to a junior college and eventually back in to SDSU. I started working more and more hours to bring in more and more income. But that jump moving out was too much, and I never seemed to have any money. Have you ever felt like that? To say I was living pay check to pay check would be an understatement. I remember having $.43 in my bank account, needing groceries on Sunday and not getting paid on Monday. But if I did credit on my debit card, the bank wouldn’t clear the funds till wed, allowing me time to put the pay check in and have everything be fine. But even that wasn’t my breaking point.

My breaking point was popcorn. I went to a concert with my friend and some friends (mother in law bought tickets for us). I went to the restroom with my buddy and he stopped to get a soda and popcorn for his girlfriend. The total was $13.50. I wanted to get some for my girlfriend, but I didn’t have $13.50 available at the time. Walking back, I remember seeing that look in her face, that look of disappointment, but understand where we were at. That is the point I said no more. That is when I decided I need to pick myself up and change. I need to make more money.

Now bringing this story back to why you are reading this. I turned to Craigslist for extra money. I started off selling everything I had for a few bucks. If I had something and I wasn’t actively using it, it was getting sold. I had some great success selling stuff, and made sure everyone knew what I was doing. People started getting me their stuff to sell so I had always stream of stuff to sell. After college, I stilled used craigslist to make some money as needed. I started to devising other ways to make money and found some ways that I was quite successful at. And that got me to here now.
