How to Make Money on eBay Selling Walmart Items
Part of the trick of selling Walmart items is knowing on what eBay international site to list them. Some of the items below will sell best on a site other than eBay USA.
Examine the sports fan apparel for your local sports teams. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. My local Walmart is stocked with University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Atlanta Falcons, and Atlanta Braves fan apparel. But, there are fans of these sports teams all over the world who can't necessarily go to a Walmart to purchase them. Try selling football jerseys, hoodies, jackets, tshirts, and flags. You can make some really big profits selling fan apparel and accessories if a local team makes it to the playoffs.
Electronics. The big one here is the Wii or whatever the latest and greatest video game system is. Buy electronics before the holiday season and put them up for sale in mid-November. Also keep an eye on the popular Wii games - last year's hot game was Guitar Hero. Check the eBay Pulse for what's hot in the category of video games.
Disney items. Last year, the rage was Hannah Montana and High School Musical, and a few years prior to that the rage was Lizzie McGuire. Get in touch with the tween generation and find out what (and who) they are going nuts over. Hannah Montana bedding sets sold for 3 times the Walmart shelf price because the items were so scarce, yet kids wanted them for Christmas and their parents were willing to pay.
Toy sellers on eBay make a killing during November and December but you have must have the flexibility and availability to go shopping at 2 AM to get the 'hot toy' as soon as it is stocked. Pay attention to the hot Barbie items, Fisher Price toys (especially electronic learning toys), LeapFrog/Leapster systems and games, and the latest Lego sets. Harry Potter sets do well. Toys do exceptionally well year round on eBay UK, eBay Canada, and eBay Australia.
Action figures. Look for whatever the latest trend or popular movie hero is - at the time of this writing the big movies are Batman and Indiana Jones. Star Wars figures are always popular, especially on eBay UK and eBay Europe.
Kids digital cameras. The most popular camera is called the Fisher Price 'Kid Tough' camera and comes in pink or blue. There is even an underwater version. These sell at Walmart for about $48.00. On eBay UK, they sell for about $85. Deduct your fees, and this item alone can bring about $30 in just one sale. Just go to eBay UK and search the completed listings and do your research before setting your starting price.
Food. People all over the world love our American junk food (even though it is killing us). In the UK, they want Lucky Charms. The Lucky Charms leprechaun holds a special place in the hearts of the British and Irish people. You can sell boxes of Lucky Charms for about 3 times the Walmart price. They aren't buying the cereal for the taste, they are buying it because it is a novelty and they like the little leprechaun. Other good selling food items include Oreos, M&Ms, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Tabasco Sauce, Hidden Valley Ranch powdered dressing mix, Kool-Aid powdered drink mix, barbeque sauces, Altoids mints, and gum.
Discontinued items. Cosmetics and skin care products are constantly being discontinued and these items can go for big money on eBay. At one point in 2008, a $10 tube of Aveeno cream was selling for $40 because it had been discontinued. See the resources section for more info on discontinued items.
Check your local Walmart for special regional foods. In Atlanta, our stores carry pecan logs and speckled grits, which are a local favorites. Test market cities also have items that aren't found elsewhere. (We had the raspberry M&Ms before anyone else.) See what you can find that is unique to your area.

How to Make Money Online Without a Credit Card
Learn all you can about online marketing for free The first step to making money online without a credit card is to simply learn how to earn money online. While you might think that not having a credit card is a disadvantage, that is actually not true. There are so many free sources online to learn about internet marketing that you do not have to purchase anything in order to learn all you need to know. In fact, those that have credit cards sometimes waste tens, if not hundreds, of dollars buying products that teach you what you can learn for free online.
Get yourself a debit card If you do not have one already, you will want to get yourself a debit card (also known as a bank card or check card). These look like credit cards, but they are not credit cards as they take money directly out of your bank account. Many websites online will accept payment by debit card - so you can use these to make money online, even if you don't have an actual credit card.
Sign up for PayPal Next, you will want to get yourself a PayPal account. With a PayPal account, you can both pay for expenses online and receive payments online. You do not need a credit card to get a PayPal account, but you will need a bank account.
Sign up for free websites Next, you will want to create at least one free website for yourself. A website is a basic component to make money online, with or without a credit card. You don't need a fancy website - even a simple blog can bring in some money online.You can sign up for a free website. There are various website hosts that do not charge for hosting. Search for 'free website hosting'. You can also sign up for a free blog account. Popular free blog accounts include Wordpress.com and Blogger.Again, since these sites are free, you avoid using your credit card.
Pay for web hosting using bank transfer or debit card Free website and blog hosting is good for beginners, but usually have limitations.

There are many website hosts that will let you pay either by PayPal (see step 3) or by direct bank transfer. Just do a search and you will find many.
Sign up for affiliate programs One very common way to make money online is through affiliate marketing. You simply sign up as an affiliate, insert special code on your website and make money whenever a user clicks on your link and makes a purchase. (Some affiliate programs pay you per click or lead instead of per sale.)
Lucky for you, many, if not most, affiliate programs, allow you to get paid without a credit card. Some affiliate programs will deposit money in your PayPal account and some have an option to pay you by check. Note: Before signing up for an affiliate program, read through their payment information carefully to make sure you can will pay you without a credit card or merchant account.

Make money through Google Adsense without a credit card Google Adsense is another great way to make money online. Again, you do not need to accept credit cards in order to get paid through Adsense.
Payment methods you can choose include U.S. dollar checks and electronic funds tranfsfer. See resources below for details on Google Adsense payment options.
Sell products online through Paypal You can sell your own products online and get paid through PayPal. You do not need a credit card or merchant account to sell products through PayPal online.
Allow for alternate methods of payment for your products or services Some customers are scared to pay by credit card online. They might be weary to pay by PayPal as well. This can be especially true if you are selling expensive products or selling to an audience that is not used to buying online. In these cases you should allow alternate methods of payment such as transferring money directly into your bank account and/or paying you using a personal or business check.

How to Make Money Daily From Home
Assess your hobbies and strengths to determine what type of freelance work you should do. Though you work for clients, as a freelancer you must motivate yourself to work so it's important that you both enjoy what you do and are good at it. Writing, editing and Web development are just three types of freelance work that you can do from home.
Gather a portfolio of your best work or make one if you don't already have one. Potential clients want to see proof that you can complete the work that they contract you to do.
Divide the amount of money that you need to cover your monthly expenses by 20 or 30 to determine the minimum amount of money that you must make each day. Divide by 20 if you plan to work Monday through Friday and by 30 if you plan to work every day of the month. Divide the result by the maximum number of projects you can complete each day (for example, editing 4 articles or designing 1 website). This the minimum you can afford to charge each client.
Open a PayPal account. Clients commonly pay this way for work-at-home jobs since it allows for fast, secure money transfers without disclosing your location.
Search your local newspaper and websites such as vWorker, Elance, oDesk and Craigslist for freelance job listings in your area of expertise. Apply to every job for which you are qualified, quoting a fee equal to or higher than your minimum depending on the complexity of the project.
Accept as many projects as you can fit into your schedule. Request at least part of your fee upfront to protect yourself against clients who won't pay after you deliver the work.
Work in a quiet space in your home to help yourself focus since your productivity determines your income. Fulfill the client's requests entirely and check in often to make sure that you aren't wasting time doing work that the client won't accept. Deliver the project promptly to encourage the client to refer you to others, as well as to keep your schedule clear for more projects. Save a copy of your work to include in your portfolio.
Repeat Step 5 daily to keep a flow of clients. Though a client may enjoy working with you, since you're a freelancer it's unwise to consider him a reliable source of income.

How to Make Big Money With Animals
Responsibly breed dogs or other pets. Breeding animals is a high-paying job, especially with pure-bred dogs. By owning two dogs of the opposite sex that are officially recognized as a pure bred (American Kennel Club), and breeding and taking care of the animals, you can sell the puppies for a high-dollar price.
Sell pet supplies and medications. Find a company that you can join to sell pet supplies and apply to be the delivery person. Often times, the pet supplies seller will visit specific homes to help the pet owners with their new products.
Start a pet entertainment business. This may be starting a pet photography business by being a photographer who advertises your special care with animals, or running a show with talented animals by taking them to birthday parties or other gathering events. The entertainment business can produce a lot of money, as long as it is done legally.
Start an obedience training business. Become well rounded in pet obedience and get an obedience license. Go to local pet stores near you and apply to be their new obedience counselor, or start a private business of your own. Pet obedience school is a pricey program that people are willing to pay for their pets.
Work at a zoo or animal specific viewing center, like an aquarium or exotic bird viewing area. These places give you the chance to work with wild animals and learn about their habits and environment. Zoo keepers and specialists make a large salary to work with these amazing and somewhat dangerous animals. You may need a zoology degree to be in this field of work.

How Can I Diversify My Farm to Make Money?
The USDA has compiled an extensive list of alternative crops and services to help diversify farm income. The main general areas include:• Field crops (including those used for feed, forage, fiber, fuel, edible and industrial oils, food grains, pseudocereals and legumes)
• Specialty and ethnic vegetables (includes everything from truffles and mushrooms to heirloom variety plants and seeds)
• Fruits and nuts
• Horticulture / nursery enterprises (bedding plants, cut flowers, field-grown mums, flowers for drying, greenhouse or hydroponic production, organic plants and trees, potted annuals, native plants, wildflowers and seeds, hardy shrubs, perennial flowers)
• Agroforestry / forest products
• Livestock / animals (these may be game-related, exotic livestock, minor breeds or special use animals, poultry, aquaculture, fish farming, pet and medicine-related enterprises)
• Farm and home enterprises (such as services, recreation and education, value-added products or on-farm processing)
Think Outside The Box
Just because his grandfather and his father grew only tobacco and corn, it does not mean the modern farmer must continue the tradition even in the face of a falling market. Farm diversification is possible with thinking that is outside the box. The farm is a wonderful recreation opportunity waiting to happen. From fishing ponds to nature tours, and petting zoos to hayrides, pumpkin patches and old-fashioned singing and dancing hoedowns, there are hundreds of opportunities from which to choose.With the onset of Colony Collapse Disorder and focus on the plight of diminishing honeybees and other pollinators, many are turning to the old-fashioned art of beekeeping. Bees can earn income for the farm by the farm renting them out to other farmers for pollination of their crops, from honey sales to consumers or industries that use the honey in products. A focus on organic certification and all organic products will net the farm a large segment of consumers actively looking for healthier foods.Themed farms are an option. Several farms operate as 'pizza farms.' They grow or raise everything required to make a complete pizza. Gimmicks such as these work for other companies, so why not for a farm?Along with the trend of returning to the land and green living, many people would love to buy their produce as local as possible to reduce their carbon footprint and ensure healthier food for their families. Opening the farm to visitors for educational tours, classes in homesteading and farming, gardening, beekeeping, horticulture or the like may be an excellent source of extra income.
Create a Plan of Action
Once the enterprise is decided upon, it is time for research and planning. Among the questions to be asked are:
Is there a consistent market for this crop or service?
Is there a profit to be made?
Can I market this service or product locally?
Is it a cash crop or rotational crop?
How do you ship this product?
What equipment will be needed?

How to Make Money From Paid Market Research
Decide on the type of paid market research you would like to use. Paid research is anything from surveys to mystery shopping. You can also participate in paid focus groups. One of the easiest and fastest ways to make money online is by finding a legitimate website where you can take paid online surveys. There are some paid online survey websites claiming to pay up to $100 or more to complete a survey. It's important to be very careful what site you choose for paid market research. Instead of paid market research, check out the FREE website in the resources section below. When you go there, fill in the sign-in box near the bottom of the page to get started. It's safe to use and you can use it to earn a part time or full time income from home.
Search the classifieds in your local newspaper for paid market research options that might be available. You might find some companies with attractive paid research studies. Besides market research paid surveys, they might also be advertising incentives for participating in paid focus groups. A paid focus group can either meet in-person locally, or online. Sometimes these can have higher pay-out's than your regular paid online surveys that you complete at home. Regardless, be cautious and find out about each of the companies before you spend any time giving your opinions and never pay to participate in paid market research.
Search online for paid research options. As I mentioned before, market research paid surveys are the fastest and easiest ways to make money online. Anyone 18 years of age or older can take them and make money. There are hundreds of paid market research surveys on the internet, but you should choose them wisely. You can find sites that claim to pay as much as $100 or more to complete a survey, but most only pay $.50 - $10 per survey. If you look around online long enough, you may find a high paying paid focus group or other paid market research companies with nice incentives.
Diversify your paid market research options to maximize your earnings online. Try and use more than one, whether it's paid online surveys or paid focus groups. Then you can see which ones make the most money. Look for legitimate paid focus groups online and other legit market research studies with bigger incentives. Try each one to see which ones pay the most. Be persistent if you want to make any decent money with paid research. The more times you take paid online surveys or participate in paid focus groups, the more invitations you will receive from these companies.
