Making Money Online?

This morning I checked my bank account. Once again, no fairy godmother had turned my balance from red to black. My daily affirmation "I am a money magnet" hasn't kicked in yet. All I see is a four-figure blood-red balance. In numbers: minus one-three-one-nine! Help! What can I possibly do?

I'll call Jessi. She's my best friend. Together we've always been strong! I hope we can come up with a brilliant idea. A breathless Jessi pants a "Hello" into the phone. She's decluttering. Jessi has decided to turn the basement upside down from top to bottom. Everything has to go.

"Tell me, what are you doing with all that stuff?" There was silence on the phone: "Throwing it out, of course!"

TV and the brilliant idea

Something clicks for me. Making money online - that's the motto now. "Tell me, Jessi. Have you ever seen those TV shows about turning your junk into cash online or selling the stuff from your attic?" "You know perfectly well I almost never turn on the tube!"

In short, I fill her in on the most important shows in this genre. One thing was certain: making money online would be our weekend job. If you can even call it work. Because it's a lot of fun. That became clear to me quickly. The clothes especially were due for a thorough clear-out.

There are special platforms for offering pieces you no longer love. I want to get rid of it and someone else is happy. The skirt is too big, the pants too tight and the designer bargain was only ever a closet-sitter.

I should become a saleswoman, because I quickly talked Jessi into making money online. We agreed that from now on we'd call each other every three hours and report on how things are going and what we've put online.

Making money online and the first clicks

I really didn't think it would go this fast. After just a few hours I had even sold something. Jessi had the same experience. We cheered loudly together on the phone. My designer bag sold in no time. Eight emails back and forth and the piece was gone.

We got bolder and bolder and put all kinds of things online. We've got nothing to lose. We can only win. Then we came up with the idea of going through our books, because there's a market for those too. Gather all the books and pack them in a box. An email arrives telling you what the items are worth and whether they'll take all of them. After that the money lands in your account.

Making money online is so easy and really a lot of fun!
