Easy DIY Way to Make Extra Money

how to make extra money the DIY way
If you are looking for a Do It Yourself way to make extra money, without having to go work for someone else, or learn a grand new marketable skill, this is an easy DIY way to start earning some extra money right away! 

You can make anywhere from $250 to $1,000 a month to start, and more. I'm sharing this with you, because I did it myself and it works!

Step-by-Step DIY Way to Make Extra Money

The easiest way I've found to make extra money, while doing it myself, is to open a Poshmark Closet and resell clothes and goods I'm no longer using. I am shocked at how easy it has been to make extra money doing this. I kick myself daily for not starting this years ago when everybody was talking about it!!


How to Get Started:

This guide helped me get started so I could start making extra money right away. It takes all the guess work out of it and tells you everything you need to know. 

PLUS it comes with a FREE Facebook Support Group where you can ask questions whenever they come up and always get an answer. This has helped me a lot!

Another reason I chose this guide because its creator was an overwhelmed registered nurse who was able to start a reselling business, leave her stressful career, and never looked back. 

She shares everything she learned to become successful, and makes it SO much easier to get started rather than trying to figure it out on your own. And in reality, it is so much less intimidating than it seems. I highly recommend getting the guide right away so you can DIY your way to more money as soon as you decide to!

2nd: Open a Poshmark Closet  

I opened my first Poshmark Closet, Fairface Vintage , and a little later when I got more comfortable, an Ebay Store, Fairface Vintage . 

By following the reseller guide, I was able to set up my shop and start making money, my way, right away. 

Because I know it works, I also know if I put more time into it, my extra income can grow substantially. I can't think of a better way to make extra money doing it myself! 


With this DIY Approach How Much Money Can You Make?

The great thing about DIY'ing your way to extra money is that you really can do it yourself, your way. How much money you make really depends on a few factors:

  1. How much time you have to put into it.
  2. How much demand there is for the items you want to re-sell.
  3. How much money you spend on the items you are going to resell (if you thrift).
  4. How much your items are currently selling for. 

Although it can vary month to month, I notice the more time I spend, the more quality items I list, the more I increase my sales and extra income.

The Trick to Keeping Produce Fresh Longer

keep produce fresh longer with OXO Good Grips GreenSavers
I used to have such a love / hate relationship with my fruits and vegetables. They started out so fresh and lovely the day I bought them, but eventually they would shrivel up (or mold out) and end up in the trash, along with my guilty conscience. 

I wish I had known about this trick to extend the life of my fruits and veggies a long time ago, so I had more time to eat them, and stop with all the produce guilt!

My husband and I stumbled upon these little carbon filters one day and thought, what the heck, we can't lose by trying. And since tossing these in our crisper drawers, I kid you not, I haven't thrown out a single mushy fruit or vegetable! I'm just as shocked as you are!

Keep Produce Fresh Longer with THIS Little Packet 

It turns out, the key to keeping produce fresher longer in your cripser drawers are 
>>These OXO Good Grips GreenSaver Carbon Filters !

  • No more throwing away soggy spinach, mushy cucumbers or moldy fruit. 
  • All you do is toss one of these little packets in your crisper drawer and it gobbles up the ethylene gas that spoils fruits and veggies. 
  • They extend the fresh life of your fruits and vegetables so you have more time to eat them.
  • No more guilt from spoiled produce! 

If I had known about these, I would have tried them years ago.

A few reviewers have found the same positive results that I did:


"Put one of these into your container of fruit or veggies and it helps keep them fresher longer! I was so tired of throwing stuff away and this has helped immensely!"

"I use these in my refrigerator & they do work!" 

"These things help to keep your fruits & veggies from wilting & rotting…they sustain the life of your fruits & veggies 1-2 weeks longer" 

 

*And just a side note, OXO sells a "produce saver container" that you can put the little filters in, 

but we just bought the refills and toss one in each drawer and it works just fine. As long as you give them a little space to work, they last around 3 months.

Have you tried carbon filters to keep your fruits and veggies fresh longer? If not, I highly recommend these! You will be very pleasantly surprised at how much longer your fruits and veggies last!
