How much money do you need to sell small items? Souvenir business: how to make money on little things

Hello! Today you will learn how to make money for a beginner at home and more.

In this article I will give you many different ways to earn money. All the methods listed below are working and have been personally tested by me.

Reselling goods on bulletin boards

This way of making money really works because many people do not know the real cost of goods or simply sell cheaply in order to get rid of this or that product faster.

Many collectors look for unique items in this way and are willing to offer good money for them. You won’t believe it, but things left in grandma’s closet can benefit someone else, thereby freeing you from junk and bringing in a good profit. Soberly evaluate the old things in your pantry and you will certainly make money by selling them. Perhaps somewhere in the bins lies the first Soviet camera, a Singer typewriter, a tablecloth with unique embroidery, or a record player.

Some photo studios, as well as theaters and even hand-makers look for goods in this way and are happy to buy interesting retro items.

On Avito you can find many things that are sold at a reduced price. You just need to buy them and sell them at a higher price, and the difference in price is your earnings!

I’ll give you an example from my life, because I’m talking about proven methods.

One day I accidentally saw how much moose antlers cost, the average price was 5,000 rubles. Then I found the horns on Avito for 3,000 rubles, bought them and after 4-5 days they bought them from me for 5,000 on the same Avito. I just made a better photo and description. Net profit 2000 rub. in 5 days. I agree that it’s not enough, but if you do this fully, you can sell more.

Also, I tried to buy MacBooks in Moscow with Avito, and sell them in my city, because in our city there are few advertisements and they are more expensive, but in Moscow there are many and the prices are cheaper;) The conclusion is simple - you can make money!

Shipping and payment:

In your city, you can make a sale through a personal meeting. Orders can be sent to other cities by agreement. But most often by Russian Post. Transportation costs are most often borne by the buyer. But again, as agreed.
Payment can be accepted either by transferring funds to a bank card or to an electronic wallet.

Selling goods from abroad

This is also an excellent option, which I have been doing and continue to do, but on a more official and large-scale basis. Now there are opportunities to buy goods from Taobao, Aliexpress, 1688 etc.

Almost everything is cheaper there. You can simply buy there and sell on the same notice boards in your city. You can order from Ebay and Aliexpress to absolutely any city and any country, so this type of earnings is available to everyone! I have tried to sell many products, but now I am focusing on bags from China, but more on that later.

My friends sell phone cases, other friends sell unusual gifts and home decoration, and still others sell iPhones and other Apple equipment. So try it too ;)

Provision of services

We all know how to do something, and these skills can be easily sold. If you know foreign languages, then you can teach it to others. Or, for example, you know how to repair plumbing, so why not do it for money.

Today, more and more girls prefer working with a flexible schedule. What could be better than not regulating your working day yourself? In the service sector, you can make good money from hairdressing and makeup. Having completed special courses, more and more girls I know are making money doing manicures, depilation, hairstyles and makeup, preparing girls for important events (weddings, anniversaries, graduations, etc.). Providing your services is a great way to make quick money.

How to make money from this? Easily! Just start telling everyone about your services, make your own website, place an ad wherever you can and everything will go well for you;) But what am I telling you...

For those who are interested in this topic, I wrote an article on how to get started. Read it, everything is explained there step by step! I also provided services for website development, setting up contextual advertising and much more.

How to make money on a website or blog

It’s easy to make money on the Internet, the main thing is to decide on your niche: your website, blog, online store, selling goods from a one-page website etc. But more about everything.

This is one of my favorite activities and for me it is not only a source of income, but also a favorite hobby. I am happy to run this blog site that you are on now and write articles for you, this is truly my hobby. Also, I had and still have blogs to earn money, on which I earn money from advertising, affiliate programs, and so on.

A blog differs from a website in that most often it is tied to the personality of the author, his worldview and life position. It is worth noting that these are the blogs that are most popular. But not the last place in their promotion is occupied by SEO optimization. Read more about this in the “Business Promotion” section.

Blog is an information site where you write interesting and useful articles on topics that interest people. If your articles are well written, search engines show them in search results, thereby giving you visitors. But you can also promote your blog yourself.

When you have a lot of readers on your blog, you can easily make money on it from advertising, from affiliate programs, or from posting links and paid articles. This is a working way to make money online.

Additional part-time jobs

If you work or study and your schedule allows for additional work, do not miss this opportunity. Me too, when I was a schoolboy and student and also worked part-time to earn money.

You can babysit your children or work in a store doing loading and unloading jobs with pay at the end of the day, or you can do work in your main field of activity. Roughly speaking, “to the left,” but not to steal, but to the left, to serve some clients yourself, and not in the company for which you officially work. There are also many options for courier and all sorts of general labor positions.

If you are a student at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, then your knowledge is quite enough to give additional lessons to schoolchildren. The modern approach to teaching foreign languages through Skype lessons is an excellent opportunity to recruit a group of students not only in your city, but also in other areas.

You can package your knowledge into a training course and thus sell it, getting good money from it. If the information you collect helps someone, it will quickly spread among potential clients.

As an additional income for successful people, during a financial recession, you can organize the sale of seasonal goods: “anti-freeze” in the autumn-spring period or flowers, on the eve of the spring holidays, as well as live and artificial Christmas trees a couple of weeks before the New Year.
If you inherited an apartment from your grandmother, then in order to earn money to repair it, you can, at first, rent it out on a daily or monthly basis.
If you live in a resort area, then organize a business for tourists. Tents with souvenirs and goods of local origin (honey, fish, sweets) will allow you to earn decent and real money during the influx of tourists.
And if you are the owner of a luxurious premium car, then why not offer your services to the newlyweds to accompany them on their special day to the registry office or banquet hall.

Receiving dividends or interest on deposits also refers to additional income. But first they require some investment.

Open your online store

After I started selling from China, I soon opened my own online store. Thus, the second point of this article can be legalized and turned into a full-fledged business. An online store is quite a profitable business, it pays for itself quickly, requires small start-up investments and is quite simple to organize. Overall, you can make a lot of money! At the start, you can work alone or with your spouse, as I did. When turnover increases, you can think about hiring employees (call center, driver, loader).

Now everyone is very actively buying on the Internet, besides, you can test a niche on some goods by first purchasing a small batch and selling it on Avito (point 1).

I already wrote an article about how. You can sell almost anything in an online store!

Sell products from one-page sites

Through sales through Landing page you can earn a lot of money faster than with an online store. The whole point of making money is that you analyze demand, select a product to sell, test it for sellability, create a one-page landing page and sell it all over Russia. This type of business is trending now!

Handmade

In continuing sales in online stores and on bulletin boards, it is worth mentioning that you can make various products with your own hands and sell them. There is a project called “Masters’ Fair”, where they sell similar goods and buy them very well.

You can also sell your homemade products in an online store, on social networks and on message boards. Many people like something different and this theme works very well. Therefore, if you know how to make something or are a jack of all trades, then this is your way of making money!

How to make money freelancing

How you can't make money

Well, now I’ll tell you about ways in which you will never make money.

Be careful! If you are looking on the Internet for ways to make money, then you often come across advertisements for some kind of quick money-making, such as pyramids, MLMs, get-rich-quick schemes, and so on. Don't believe it! In many of them you are asked to invest a little money, then invite friends and acquaintances and earn money for each person who comes. To a greater extent, these are deceivers, in some cases you will sell crazy goods at high prices (they often do this in MLM), the pyramids will collapse and you and your friends will be left without money.

There are also all sorts of sites offering gold trading, but all this is a lie and the earnings there are not from gold, nor from invited people. In general, where you are asked to pay money to join somewhere and then invite people, then most often this is a scam. Just remember one thing... there are no get rich quick schemes, they simply don’t exist and that’s it, it’s a scam!

You can't make money by risking your health. This includes making money by donating blood, donating cut hair, and other absurdities and experiments that can be offered to you for money. All this is not worth it. You will receive little money, but the consequences can be very different.

Making money on computer games. If you are a schoolboy or a slacker, then of course you can try to make money on it. But it is important to understand that you can spend a lot of time on this and still not achieve results.

Conclusion

Perhaps I have not listed all the ways to make money, but I have listed what I am really confident in and tested on myself, what helped me out in difficult times, except for hand-made ones. But more importantly, I warned you about all sorts of scammers in the last paragraph.

Let's use our brains! Only your ingenuity will help you make money quickly and easily! So let’s use our imagination and go ahead! At one time, sellers of “sea air” and “medicinal” mud made decent money from tourists. A good razvodilovo - good money!

It's never too late to learn! If your career has reached a dead end, you feel hopeless, then perhaps it’s time to radically change your life?! Get additional education or take advanced training courses, learn something new, fortunately, today it is easy to do, even without leaving home, through online learning.

Saving. Sometimes all you need to do to make money is simply cut down on your expenses. Have you tried counting your monthly expenses? I advise you to do this and you will be horrified at how much you spend on unnecessary things.

What is left for you now? Try yourself in everything possible! The main thing is not to sit still, but to constantly move forward and do, do, do, then everything will work out for you! Think bigger, take risks, create your own business, test niches, generally move, and don’t sit still;)

I look forward to your additions, objections and questions in the comments! Thank you for your attention!

Advice from an Expert - Financial Consultant

Photos on the topic

Trading has always brought good income. In order to make good money from trading, it is not necessary to sell something expensive. Making money on small things can be even more significant if you know what to sell, where and to whom. Just follow these simple step-by-step tips and you will be on the right track in solving your financial issues.

Quick step by step guide

So, let's look at the actions that need to be taken.

Step - 0
It should be said right away that you must have a calling for trading. If you hate the very thought that you will have to sell some junk product from morning to evening, in heat and cold, trying to interest indifferent buyers, it is better to immediately abandon this idea and look for some other activity. If you feel that you can do it, then you can move on to the planning stage of your future business. Next, move on to the next step of the recommendation.

Step - 1
So, what and how to sell? There are two main options: sell just one product, but where there is demand for it, or choose a fairly wide range of inexpensive piece goods that are in constant demand. Before starting trading, be sure to settle all legal formalities with the local administration. Next, move on to the next step of the recommendation.

Step - 2
A good trading option is to sell seasonal products, in particular vegetables and fruits. The principle is simple: buy goods wholesale, sell retail. On such trading you can make up to one hundred percent profit. Some products can be processed and sold at a higher price - for example, buy raw corn, cook it and sell it several times more expensive in places where there are a lot of people. Next, move on to the next step of the recommendation.

Step - 3
Try to trade what is in constant demand. This could be toothpaste, toilet paper, socks and underwear, light bulbs, inexpensive kitchen utensils, etc. and so on. - everything that people use every day. Due to the large turnover, even a small trade margin will allow you to earn a good income. Next, move on to the next step of the recommendation.

Step - 4
A very good option is outbound trade in villages. Many villages have special market days, they happen a couple of times a week. This means that you can choose two or three villages with divergent days, while getting employment four or six days a week. Trade in villages is convenient due to the absence of much competition. The only drawback is the need to have your own transport. Next, move on to the next step of the recommendation.

Step - 5
The method of trading by institutions is quite common. By choosing a group of goods in the price category from 500 to several thousand rubles - for example, inexpensive electrical equipment, devices for the treatment and prevention of diseases, etc. etc., visit schools, institutes and other institutions and offer their products to their employees. The secret of success here is traditional - buy goods in bulk at a very low price and sell them several times more expensive. Next, move on to the next step of the recommendation.

Step - 6
Options for earning money little things there may be many, but they are all relevant if you do not expect to engage in such trading for a long time and for you it is only the first stage of capital accumulation for the subsequent transition to a new, higher level of doing business. For example, it could be the organization of a stationary retail outlet, then several. The very thought that you have development potential will give you strength and help you cope with all the difficulties that come your way.

Is it possible to make money in the village?

“You can’t make a million by living in the countryside” - this is what people usually say who simply don’t know how to use the opportunities lying before their noses. And they are more than real. Let's figure out which ones.

Let's start with the advantages of living in the countryside.

The freedom of action. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want and in whatever way you want. There are no annoying neighbors, walls or sidelong glances.
You are your own boss.
Clean air and no traffic jams.
Always fresh and tasty water. No plastic bottles or other nonsense that pollutes the environment.
Tariffs are lower than in the city.
Cheap housing without bureaucratic red tape.
And, most importantly, business prospects.

What are the prospects, you ask? Land, cheap labor, natural benefits: forests, fields, lakes. There's you and all these wonderful things. All you have to do is turn on your head, adjust your ingenuity and start earning money.

Now let's figure out how to make money on a subsidiary plot. Is it possible to do this without investment? And how to implement your business so that it prospers.

We found out that you can make money on subsidiary farming. Will it be possible without any investment? Hardly. At a minimum, you will spend money on a house, a plot of land and utilities. Depending on what business you have chosen (we will talk about ideas later), another expense item comes up. But, you can start a business in rural areas from scratch if you have a certain resource (finance, land, yard).

What to do in the village to earn money

Having a plot of land, people often do not know how to use it. But this is a gold mine. And in general, there are many ways to make money in the village.

Let's figure out which ones:

Let's look at a couple of examples. Strawberry business. This berry is loved by everyone, and it can be grown not only in summer. If you install a greenhouse, then with proper care and maximum yield, you will have about 5 thousand rubles per square meter of area. Well, if the territory is larger, there is correspondingly more money.

If we talk about our own apiary, the numbers here are ambiguous. It all depends on the number of hives, the area and the breed of bees. Therefore, before starting a business, answer yourself the question: are you really ready to devote yourself to bees (and you need to love them), read tons of literature and learn the basics from your own mistakes (including financial ones)?

So, you can make money from bees. But your income depends entirely on you. On average, one hive is 20-60 kg of honey. The cost of a kilogram of product on the market is 100-300 rubles. Of course, you can sell goods abroad. There will be more money, but also more hassle, since you must first find a sales market. Foreigners are picky.

Now let's talk about mushrooms. Growing mushrooms today is quite profitable. Especially oyster mushrooms. The cost for 1 kg of product starts from 1.5 dollars. 100 square meters of area, on average, will give you 4 tons of goods per year, which is about 6 thousand dollars. A very good start.

For example, the average cost of selling oyster mushrooms in Moscow is 100 rubles. per kilogram.

If we talk about costs, entry into this business is minimal, but not free. You will need: substrate (1 kg = $3), bedding (straw or wood chips), compost and the mushrooms themselves for sowing. Of course, you also need to take care of the place where this whole thing will grow.

It wouldn’t hurt to spend some more money on literature that reveals the details of this craft. Start small, don’t try to earn a lot right away, first learn how to do it well. After all, you need to be able to not only grow, but also sell. After all, having trained, you can easily earn an income of 800-1000 dollars a month.

Of course, this is not all that you can make money from. Want to get even more business ideas? Then watch the video, choose and act!

Earning money in the village in winter

If you think that winter in the countryside is a low season for business, you are mistaken. Because you can make good profits even in winter.

Build a greenhouse and grow greens in it. There is a great demand for it in winter.
Knit sweaters. Of course, if you can.
Felt felt boots from wool. This is an interesting and profitable activity.
Open a tire shop. A business that will bring you income all year long.
Try yourself as a fortune teller. This is especially true during the New Year and Christmas holidays.

And you can also...

Turn the barn into a carpentry workshop and produce custom furniture.
Go fishing. Fish is a commodity in high demand.
Build a bathhouse on your site for 5-6 people and charge a fee for visiting it.
Prepare mulled wine.
Create something with your own hands.
Deliver orders. If there is transport, of course.

Other ways to make money in the village

What else do they do in the village? What earning options do you use?

They cut down trees and sell firewood. This is not the most environmentally friendly way to make money, but nevertheless it exists and is in demand.
Caring for other people's animals. If you have your own cattle, they are well-groomed and joyful, so why not make them like that for others and get money for it? For example, shoe horses, train sheep's hooves, etc.?
Haymaking. The work is seasonal, but profitable, since hay is mainly used to feed livestock.
Lawn mowing. All you need to do is have your own lawn mower.
Caring for someone else's house, garden, vegetable garden. If you don’t have your own, why not look after someone else’s?
Handyman. Fix the faucet, nail the shelf, patch the roof. For those who have their hands in the right place, there will always be work.

Farmers' experience

Many questions are asked on forums about the unprofitability of business in the village. Let's see what "experienced farmers" have to say about this:

And here is a video where the case of business closure is considered. Why did it happen? See for yourself:

About the positive. Here's what they say on forums about profitability:

And here is one of the business ideas for making money on someone else’s business brought to life:

Instead of concluding, it is worth noting that it is possible to run a business in the village, and it is possible to make money from it. The main thing is to choose something for yourself that you will do with great pleasure. Because if you don’t like the activity, how do you want to sell the products of your activity and what kind of profit are we talking about?

When you get change in a store, take a closer look at the coins: one of them may cost a hundred or two hundred times its face value.

The Bank of Russia regularly mints commemorative coins. They differ from ordinary ones in their obverse (the side on which the double-headed eagle or St. George the Victorious is usually depicted). On this side of the coin the faces of famous Russians, dates of historical events or coats of arms of cities and regions of the country are minted.

The circulation of such coins is usually large. For example, almost the entire “Russian Federation” series, consisting of 32 coins depicting the coats of arms of various republics and regions of the country, was minted in ten million copies. And such coins are not particularly valued by numismatists.

But the exception is 2010, when four coins from this series were issued in small quantities: from 100 thousand to 1,950,000 coins.

Initially, the Bank of Russia planned to issue these coins in a regular (ten million) circulation, but it was subsequently reduced for unknown reasons. The bank could not explain the reason for the reduction in circulation.

And now, for such coins in good quality, some collectors are ready to pay up to several thousand rubles. Moreover, you can get numismatic rarities anywhere, including as change in a store.

Where to sell coins?

Buyers of collectible coins can be found on numismatic forums, as well as on trading platforms where collectors look for coins.

www.numizmat-center.ru - large online coin store
www.numizmat.ru - online auction for numismatists

Cost of rare coins

Denomination: 10 rubles
Series: “Russian Federation”

How much does it cost at auctions: 3,000 rubles

Circulation: 200,000
How much does it cost at auctions: 1,500 rubles

"Nenets Autonomous Okrug"
Circulation: 1.9 million
How much does it cost at auctions: 300 rubles

25 rubles in one coin

In 2011, a new Russian coin with a denomination of 25 rubles came into circulation. The obverse of the coin depicts the emblem of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games. The first circulation was 9,750,000 pieces. There is also a similar coin in circulation, but on it the inscription “Sochi” is painted in blue. Such a coin, unlike a regular one, already has a collectible value. Sellers ask for it from 300 to 500 rubles.

Coins that numismatists are hunting for

In 2003, the St. Petersburg Mint minted additional editions of coins in denominations of 1,2 and 5 rubles.

Initially, they did not plan to release it into circulation, but wanted to keep it for collector's sets, but for unknown reasons the sets were not formed. The coins are still in circulation, but their numismatic value is several hundred times higher than their face value.

These coins differ from ordinary ones only in the year of issue. But their cost can exceed five thousand rubles, regardless of the denomination.

In this article I will give various useful tips: how to save and earn money on various little things and not even little things. They will be from different spheres of human life, many of them completely unrelated to each other. Some suggested tips on saving and earning money may seem too insignificant to you, “penny”, however, let’s not forget the proverb “a penny saves a ruble.”

By putting these and similar useful tips into practice together, you will be able to get a certain increase in free financial resources, which can be used to achieve financial goals or create sources of additional income. Is it bad? I think no. Then let's begin...

Tip #1. Use cards with interest on your balance and cashback. with such functions will allow you to receive a small additional monthly income in the form of interest, as well as cashback accrued when paying for goods and services in the retail chain. If there is such an opportunity, why not take advantage of it?

Tip #2. Make purchases online. Many goods can be bought cheaper in, take advantage of this opportunity. In some cases, you can even buy it several times cheaper (for example, in Chinese online stores).

Tip #4. File tax deductions. In many cases, you can receive good monetary compensation from the state, covering part of certain expenses; this is an excellent opportunity to save and earn money, which, unfortunately, is also neglected by many. More details about in what cases this can be done and how can be found in a separate article:

Tip #5. Use your hobby as a source of extra income. You can make money from almost every hobby if you want. This opportunity is also missed by many, even those who always lack money. Here you go, start.

Tip #6. Read e-books and listen to audiobooks. Books are now quite expensive. But if you download them on the Internet, you will receive all the same information, only for free.

Tip #7. Turn off cable television and apartment telephone. Any program can be downloaded on the Internet or even viewed online via the Internet (modern TVs allow this). Everyone has also been talking on mobile phones for a long time. There is no need to throw money away, just “let it be, for old times’ sake.” Even if this seems like a small thing to you in a month, in a year it is no longer a small thing.

Tip #8. Rest sparingly. A good vacation does not mean an expensive vacation. For example, if we are talking about trips abroad, then you can often go to the same resort, in the same conditions, at completely different prices, differing even significantly. You just need to look for savings opportunities: last-minute tours, for example, and not only - these opportunities always exist. You can read about it, for example, here:

Tip #9. Take advantage of discounts, promotions, and sales wisely. Smartly means always look for an opportunity to buy really necessary goods cheaper, but don’t buy something you don’t need just because of a discount. And also keep in mind that there is often a catch in all kinds of promotions -

Tip #10. Avoid impulse purchases. Do not buy something that is not objectively necessary, simply because you suddenly saw it and liked it. Plan your spending and follow the plan.

Tip #11. Avoid buying luxury items. They are expensive and do not bring any benefit, and in some cases they can even ruin their owners. In world practice there is even a special term for such items -.

Tip #12. Exchange discount cards with friends. In the retail and service network, you can now very often find cumulative discount systems using discount cards. Above all, remember to ask about them where you shop. And you can not only use your own discount cards, but also exchange them, if necessary, with friends, acquaintances, and colleagues. This will be more profitable and economical for everyone.

Tip #14. Prepare vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms in season. Make twists, cook jam, compotes, etc., when agricultural products are cheapest. When prices rise significantly, you will eat your own food. If possible, you can grow all this in your own gardens and summer cottages.

Tip #15. Buy clothes and shoes at the end of the season. And don't buy at the beginning of the season. When the season ends, selling off the remaining goods, sellers give very significant discounts. For example, it is cheapest to buy a fur coat and felt boots in March-April, and a swimsuit in October-November. But if you come for a swimsuit in June and a fur coat in December, you will pay the maximum price for this product.

Tip #16. Walk or bike for short distances. This way you will save on transport costs and be healthier at the same time.

Tip #18. Buy a hair clipper. If you have men and boys in your family with short hair, it will pay for itself very quickly, and you will save a lot of money on hairdresser services throughout your life.
