Welcome to the Side Hustle Interview Series! One of the goals here at Wealthy Nickel is to help you discover new ways to make extra money. Whether you need an extra $100 a month or are looking to replace your paycheck, this series will give you insight into how others are earning money with hustle and creativity.
I only make $45,000 a year at my job, and I want to achieve financial independence as quickly as possible, so I decided to look into ways to make more money.
Why did you want to start a side hustle? Why did you decide to start selling on eBay?
I’ve been selling on eBay since I was 13 and a few months ago, I stumbled across a podcast called Scavenger Life which is about a couple who sells on eBay full time. Listening to them inspired me to take eBay more seriously and I’ve been earning several hundred dollars a month from it ever since.
I started seriously selling back in April of 2018. I have sold off and on since 2006. I didn’t really know what I was doing until this year though and still have plenty to learn.
From April to the end of October, I made a total profit of $2,303.21. So that’s an average of about $330 a month and that number should continue to go up.
How much money have you made flipping products, and what can someone expect to make?
If you have something sitting around your house, you can sell it and use the money you make to get started. I try to buy things to sell only with the money I’ve made from eBay.
