How to Pick up Junk for Money (7 Steps)


Find out what the local requirements are for your service. If licensing is mandatory in your city, get it.
Estimate the cost of gasoline, insurance, maintenance of a vehicle, the actual cost of taking items to the dump and your time per hour. While at the dump, find out which items they will not accept. These will have to be done in an alternative manner, or may need to be disassembled in order to be disposed of.
Decide the form that your business will take. You may want to focus only on trash removal, or you may want to include debris removal. Debris removal usually involves larger items like trees, and may require a back hoe and chain saws.
Create brochures and advertise. Craigslist is one way of advertising for free, but a telephone book advertisement is still a still viable method. Most trash removing services that have started small have created brochures or fliers and passed them around neighborhoods near their home.
Familiarize yourself with antiques, useful items and the cost of metal so you can salvage some items to be resold as scrap metal or at garage sales. If you're lucky, you'll find an item that puts you on 'The Antiques Road Show' with a great story to tell.
Make a list of places to sell items that you pick up that may have some value, even as scrap metal. This is a creation of a business within a business and is perfectly legitimate. Once an agreement is made to remove the trash, and it is removed, it doesn't matter whether it goes to the dump or a metal salvage business.
Maintain professional standards. Keep noise at a minimum, graciousness at a maximum and prompt professionalism at all times. You may never find the antique to bring a million dollars, but you can most certainly provide a million dollars worth of service to the public. The additional income from resale of items is nothing more than frosting on the cake.

How to Make Real Money Online with Affiliate Programs


Sign up for an affiliate program at the vendor of your choice by following the instructions found in the affiliate program link, typically located at the bottom of the Web page.
Learn about the product or a group of products that all share a particular theme with a narrow focus.
Research the theme of choice and create Web content to make a website with a great deal of information that the average buyer of the product or service may find interesting. Carefully check the spelling and grammar of the information and make sure to create it from scratch instead of copying someone else's work without permission, which is illegal.
Take some high-quality photos of the product or of a landscape or whatever else seems to make a good backdrop for the website and add them to the site.
Place a small number of affiliate links on the website in locations that do not detract from the informative and interesting nature of the site. If possible, link to keywords within the text.
Add more content every week, creating at least one new article that explores a different aspect of the product or theme and has a few well-placed affiliate links.
Consider using a pay-per-click advertising campaign or obtaining a catchy domain name for the site to help draw attention to it.

How to Earn Money Selling Your Cookies (5 Steps)


Determine your business options. You can either sell your cookies from home or set up a physical business. Selling from home is less costly, but requires more marketing and promotion. If you choose to set up a physical business, consider mall vending carts, rather than a brick-and-mortar business, at least to start off. Vending carts can cost thousands of dollars per month, so make sure you have the necessary capital before starting the venture.
Expand your business by baking different kinds of cookies and offering various packages. The types and amount of cookies you sell depend on the type of business you run. For example, if you're selling cookies from home, focus on selling boxes of cookies. If you're selling them from a vending cart, offer customers the option of purchasing single cookies and boxes.
Promote your business. Hand out leaflets to friends and family, create an advertising campaign and offer deals to bring in new customers. For example, you could create a cable TV advertisement; quickly explain what you offer; and tell listeners if they order a dozen chocolate chip cookies before a predetermined date, they will receive a half dozen peanut butter cookies for free.
Ask for feedback. With each sale, include a small survey. The survey should ask for the customer's favorite cookie, his opinion of the cookies he purchased, what your business could do better, and whether he'd recommend your business to his friends and family. Study each survey and adjust your business accordingly.
Bake seasonal cookies. Offering seasonal items serves as a promotional and sales tool. It garners interest in your product, because you're offering something that's only found during a certain time of year, so people are naturally more curious to try it out. For example, between fall and winter, you could offer pumpkin cookies, and for winter, you could offer a variety of decorated holiday cookies.
