sell your notes at flashnotesExtra money is something that a lot of college students are looking for, and today I discovered another way you can earn it for something you may already be doing if you’re in college — taking notes for class.

How much can you earn?
It depends on what you set the price of your notes at. Obviously you would want to keep the budget of the average college student in mind, so I would suggest not…

Build Your Own Online StoreIf you’re creative and you are pretty good at making or coming up with your own artwork and designs, you may be able to earn some money on the side by building your own online store to market your designs with Zazzle.

Get Cash For Textbooks With eCampus.com

November 12, 2011 5 comments by

Get Cash For TextbooksA few months ago I did a post on a master list of websites to use to sell your old books and textbooks. eCampus is one site that was on that list, although they only accept used textbooks, not used books. They are one of the more reputable textbook buyback sites.
Here’s how eCampus works in detail:

  • Visit their website and punch in the ISBN number on your textbooks (usually located by the barcode)
  • If you see a buyback price you like, select the book or books you want to sell to them
  • Go through the buyback process, print out your free shipping label, stick it on the box, and mail

Get Cash For Cell Phones and More at USell

Cash for Cell PhonesIf you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got some old cell phones, mp3 players, and other electronics that are either non-working or you aren’t using. Most of our old electronics are either not working or not working that well, and for that reason I haven’t given them to anyone or tried to sell them. And I honestly feel guilty for just tossing things like that in the trash because it’s common knowledge that doing that is pretty bad for the environment. So what can you do with all that old junk?

Sell Books, Video Games, and More With Glyde

August 16, 2011 3 comments by

Glyde ReviewAfter writing about Cash 4 Books the other day and thinking about how inconvenient it may be for some people to come up with their own boxes/shipping envelopes if they sell books there, I remembered another website I came across last year around Christmas when I was shopping for a good book for my niece. It’s called Glyde, and the great thing about this site is that you can not only buy books, video games, CD’s, and other media items used at excellent prices, you can also sell your own. And the best part is that they conveniently provide the shipping materials (although not free)  – if your item sells. Here’s some more info on…
