If you are looking to earn a second income you could try selling your unwanted belongings on eBay or similar auction sites.
Studies have shown that the majority of people have over $2000 in items in their home that they could sell.
But this isn't the only way to make money on eBay.
When selling your unwanted possessions you could find a market of hungry buyers.
You may get a load of people bidding on a specific item.
If it sells at a good price you may be able to source some more of a similar product and sell them at the same high price.
If you don't like the idea of selling your own stuff on auction sites you could set up a website directing traffic to the auction houses in return for a small commission.
Large stores such as Amazon or Toys R US will pay people to send buyers to their stores.
You cannot just set up a website and expect to make a fortune but you can learn how to do affiliate marketing.
Once you have mastered this particular skill you can earn a second income very comfortably from home.
With the opportunities on offer you are only limited by your own imagination.
If you have a particular skill you may be able to sell an eBook or a video course teaching others how to do something.
For example if you are an interior decorator you could sell a video course on how to decorate your property or write an eBook on how to increase the value of your home.
If you are an accountant who specializes in tax, you could sell a product aimed at teaching people how to reduce their tax liabilities in a legal way.
Think about your hobbies and interests and you may find a way to earn a second income while enjoying yourself at the same time.
Now that is a good result.
