Make more money flipping on Craigslist by renting a storage unit.

I get a lot of emails from people after they've read my book The Craigslist Hustle asking me for suggestions about where they can store their merchandise due to they have limited space at their residence. When you’re dealing with electronics and smaller household appliances this may not cause a concern. But, when you start buying and reselling furniture and appliances this could create a problem real quick. I always recommend finding a local storage company and renting out a unit to store your items. Some places usually run specials giving you the first month free which can help you build up some profits if you’re just starting your hustle. A typical washer and dryer flip should bring you a minimum of $150 which is more than enough to cover the cost of the unit for at least six months. If you do decide to go this route, please conduct good business deals just as I point out in my book The Craigslist Hustle. There are a lot of shady individuals conducting business from storage sheds giving hardworking hustlers a bad name. One way to separate yourself and do good business would be to leave a working telephone number in case the buyer needs to contact you in the next couple of days to report any problems with their purchase.  I’ve heard of sellers only responding by email and call spoofing (Google term to learn more) buyers with fake phone numbers so the buyer can’t contact them in the future if a problem arouses.  There are a lot of ways to make extra money hustling on Craigslist and well worth the investment of a storage unit. With all the black Friday and after Christmas sales there will be a LOT of people selling their old items on Craigslist just to free up space. This is a wonderful time to take advantage and stock up on as much stuff as you can and resell it on Craigslist as I suggest in The Craigslist Hustle.  Tax season is right around the corner and this will be a marvelous time to buy and resell on Craigslist as well. There are several ways to make money via Craigslist, and as a result of being laid off by my employer years ago, I mastered an approach that helped my family of five during one of the most trying financial periods in our lives.  If you stumbled across this blog and wondering how to make extra money via Craigslist the go check out my webpage www.mrcraigslisthustle.com.
