Selling Books online

There are many ways to make money, one such is selling books online. Many people have shelf loads of read books, cds, dvds just doing nothing but collecting dust when they could be a potential money collector instead.

You can sell books online via sites like Amazon or auction sites or even your own website.

Try searching for book selling sites, this will help you find where people are buying their books and help you choose where you would like to sell yours. Some charge a small fee for each transaction but it´s a good place to start.

A place to find books to sell, could be your own home, car boot sales, friends, family, maybe they´re having a clearout.

Libraries are a good one, many have a yearly or half yearly clearout, my local library sells a bag of books for a a pound with many known authors and hard backs thant can fetch quite a good profit. You could contact a few and ask them if they know when they´re due to have their next clearout, if not, maybe they could contact you when they do, it costs nothing to ask!

Second hand and charity shops sometimes have stacks and stacks of books on shelves just collecting dust, they don´t have the marketing tools that the internet provides.

One thing to consider though, when youre buying the books to sell on, is to check the condition of the book, i.e. cover, spine, pages etc. Also be wary about how much you buy the books for, you want to keep in mind that you will put your price mark up on the book to resell, but still make it competitive to sell on.

This idea may not make you a millionaire overnight, if at all, but not a bad idea to get rid of dust collectors on our shelf and maybe generate a pocket coin collector instead!
