Anybody making money online?

I'm in the same boat as insan3, Using google adsense to my advantage. Making 3200 and up a month.

Word.

I'm about to get into the adsence game myself. I own a few domains that are catchy. Right now I'm focused on eBay consulting and YouTube...lol yes I said youtube. Alone youtube makes pennies but when combined with sales knowledge it has the potential to be a gold mind. ie: "the dollar shave club" ...youtube launched them cause their ad's were funny as F. A local tattoo shop owner was interested in hiring me to consult for a Pilot they wanted to shoot to send out to networks...but I declined. It's just to much work to bring people up to speed when they have no knowledge at all. One must gain knowledge on their own...then seek others to build upon it.

I do a little comedy and writing in my spare time...family and friends have been on my ass to upload some material to youtube. My mom and I were talking about it last night. We decided I should give it a run...and try to make people smile. IMO one of the best gifts one can give another is a release from the "daily grind". Best gift to give is a hardy chuckle and a smile (makes people forget their worries for a moment).....and Comedy does just that : )

When I work on eBay I can do 2-5k a month. I used to do it as a full time job...got burned out. Now I am a Consultant...teach others how to make money.

No, I do not tell them everything and am upfront about that. But I tell them enough to get them making 500+ a month and that's usually what they want...just a little "extra" income. Most don't want to be rich...just want to be able to put steak on the table once a week and bank a few dollars...imo eBay is Perfect for that.

hey brother u got me curious , can u explain more ur e-bay trick?

It's all love bro however...I'm a consultant for a reason lol.

I'm not here to solicit customers...that's what the bad ones do. Dudes like me actually get to Pick my own clients due to the fact I give people what they pay for. I under promise and OVER deliver. I'm not happy unless the client is happy and I will sit there with the client until they understand no matter how long it takes. Call me 24/7 for 2 weeks after for free. I sometimes (humbly) have to turn away potential clients. I like to pick people that have a fire in the belly...that are "hungry"...I turn away the "get rich" types. I don't care how much $$$ they throw at me. And it can get into the $1000's with some of the wealthier ones.

Also...I REALLY show people how to make money...I don't make money off bs'ing and taking advantage of good people like many of these "get rich" ebooks. I tell folks up front..."this is NOT a get rich scheme...you are not going to get rich over night...you get out exaclty what you put in...yes you can make very very wow! money if you are willing to put in 60-80 hours a week and have good ethics / treat your customers right" I tell my clients straight up...no tip toeing. If they are the "get rich quick" type...I decline to take them on and direct them else-ware.....like the Nutrient business...lol.

Like I said most just want to make an extra 500-1000 per month working 10-20 hours a week and I just happend to know not one but many many ways of doing so of eBay. If anyone has read Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" ... My friends coined me the "Maven". No bullshit....get $100 and I can take you in any Walmart in the USA and Flip that $100 into $200-$1000 depending on the season. Taking it straight from Walmart to eBay...making money of the product + shipping.

I just kinda got burned out. I did 18 hour ebay days plus my banking job for almost 3 years. I slept for 2-3 hours a night. One day I woke up and said F it...I'm done. But I like to teach people and saw there was a HUGE demand for someone with my knowledge so I decided to capitalize on it...while still having a strong moral focus on truly helping others make money. I get the biggest rush when one of my clients has their first $1000 month...it makes all the hard work worth it.

Sometimes I do high end consignment for some of my wealthier clients...that do not feel like "messing with that whole ebay thing". I say heck pay me a percentage and I'll take care of the rest. I settle for no less than 50% however I also tend to know how to demand some of the highest prices on ebay due to advanced marketing techniques...that knowledge came from many years of 12-18 hour days behind the keyboard.

So of course I'm sure you can understand I can't just give that Gold away for free. That knowledge can bring 30%-100% above what the product is currently being sold for by other sellers on eBay It is typical for me to get ABOVE retail prices on much of the clothing I sell. Yes ABOVE retail. Which means they can go to the store and buy that "Tommy Hilfiger" sweater cheaper than they got it from me and then they paid shipping on top of that which of coarse I make a % off of as well. It's all about that knowledge + experience....

Anyhow I digress....

Bottom line is the ebay thing is not a myth. No your not going to get rich overnight but if you are willing to put in the work you can start making money within 3 weeks and increase your profits over time and one day look back and your doing 2k-5k a month work maybe 10 hours a week.

I've been a ebay powerseller for over 6 years, took 2 to turn a real profit consistently. Beats the 9-5 gig. Have only one "employee" and I won't say what I net a year but it's more then any full-time job I've ever had. About 6 hours a day work mostly on pc and dealing with god-damned paypal, my friend spends his entire week packaging and receiving/shipping for me and he loves it. He is also a dog walker. Both gigs net him about 32k a year, about 8 grand more a year then his old manufacturing job he had for 7 years as a industrial painter 50 hours a week in an area where 24k is the median household salary. He also does home studies in the medical field and languages to prepare for a real career in mid-life.
I cannot say ebay is a great entrepreneur friendly place these days, if one is not already established it's almost impossible to make it a career. Great part-time gig for those who have some control over their full-time job hours.
Unless you have access to a specific product/s that has high demand or your wholesale price is very low, what thoumayest claims is not true for most.

No offense, but all cons eventually throw in "I can't just give that Gold away for free" at some point in the conversation. Please don't sell bullshit on here, it won't be tolerated.

Dude shut your face... I'm not selling any bullshit. WTF your just hating. I said UP FRONT I'm not selling nothing to no one. I tell people I'm not giving away that gold as a metaphor.... you douche. I never asked for his money or for him to hire me...now did I? Nor would I take any biz from RIU as it would be a conflict of interest.

You probly sell cheap China shit. I sell High End...high margin product World Wide. My site ships to France, Germany, UK, Spain...ect every week. We are big over seas...which means I can charge more due to the Euro / USD Conversion. Yea did you know about the Euro converion son?? And how to charge double due to the conversion ratio in third party currency markets when making sales overseas? ---- Answer: No, and you have not even a clue.


This is big boy stuff... I PUT IN MY WORK and am a square dude. I take care of my clients and truly care for each and everyone of them you F'ing boob....So take your wanna be guru ass down the road.

And what I said was true. I can tell your not a ebay vet. Dude I was doing 10k a month on bay in 2001 at age 22. Without any employee...I'm not newbie wanna be like yourself (I dont need an employee)...I work smart and efficient I know how to let the computer do all the work for me. Everything is automated...no need for any employee.

Don't even come on here talking ....unprovoked...shit.

"Sales Pitch"

okay...as I clearly stated I'm not selling shit. Nor would I take any biz from RIU. I am trying to help others that may come across this post and see that eBay is real and that it can help them out. And to take the time to give it a chance....I learned everything on my own through trial and error and so can they...and that is free.

So do you have anything to contribute besides your genius Masturbating online idea? Or are you just trolling...as usual.

I know what it's like to go hungry. Tossing and turn all night worrying about how I'm going to feed my family AND make rent. I have been there and have compassion for those in need. Which is why I'm maxed out and have potential patients on a waiting list.

How about contributing to this thread with a useful / productive idea thereby helping others that are struggling in this tough economy. So they can be as fortunate as us to find a source of income to pay the bills and put food on the table.

Ya, a metaphor with a price tag.

I imagine not only would you eventually ask for money but for personal info as well. Ya, either you are or you are not pulling some scam here. If not fine, let's see some of these secrets to your success, just a taste. Enough to prove you are not a bullshit artist. If you are scammer, you won't get far. So take that as you will.

What biz would or could you even take from RIU?

Made in America baby. Not one item auctioned or sold on my site was made outside of US except a few specialty items I have from Germany and a few Scandinavian nations. LOL I've shipped worldwide almost from day 1. Yes, I have currency converting software on my pc, or one can use XE and the many others online. Paypal and Ebay have their versions as well. What, did you think I was a newbie?

You claim to be a professional, yet you respond to my first comment like a child, an angry child at that.

You can type all the claims you want, I honestly couldn't believe a single word you say now. So you have robots shipping and receiving your goods? lol Computers don't do all the work. If what you claim there is true then you are a seller who is a "hands off" merchandiser and are most likely the one selling cheap Chinese crap. Although I believe you made a comment in this thread about going to Walmart and buying some junk for cheap and selling it fro profit on Ebay. Make up your story and stick with it. Under interrogation you'd probably come up with a dozen different stories in a few hours.

Check you later(stoner voice)

Don't knock masturbating on cam. I can't speak for girls, but if you're an attractive guy who's athletic/muscular or you're in decent shape and have a nice dick, you can do really well. I made around $40,000 in one year and $20,000 in 2012, when I had to focus on school a lot more. The catch is that my hourly rate falls between $150 and 500--it's super efficient. I've actually got a dude right now who's about to buy me $3000 in Apple stuff that I basically did nothing for. If you're talented, have the right goods, and put more time in, you can do way better.

Be careful where you do it though. If you work on a cam site they probably record everything you do and the user agreement gives them the right to use it forever. If you use public places like Cam4, you can easily have 1000 people watching you, so there's a way bigger risk of someone recording it and re-posting it.

i knew someone who was buying broke and blown up turbos off ebay, buying cheap rebuild kits, and selling the rebuilt turbos on ebay for at least twice what he had in them easy. gotta get your hands a little dirty but worth it especially if you know what turbos people want to buy.

Hey R.C: Could u give me some pointers to become a successful eBay seller/do what you do? I've tried it once before and didn't get any bids on my stuff, so I haven't tried since. Would definitely like to make an extra income and not have to worry about working for someone else constantly.

If you feel like helping me out just pm me to avoid any drama.

Thanks in advance!

    So I didn't get all the way though your book. Yea I responded in a no tolerance way as I roll legit like I said. And I never tried to sell anyone my services. I have a eBay book / guide that does 200-500 units a month in digital format....did I ever link that or offer to pimp my book????? You responded calling me a liar...of which I am not. Yea take the high ground by saying I responded like a child as you insult and call me a liar. Okay Mr. Adult.

    Your are the one that responded rudely as all haters do.....

    Rancho - "No offense, but all the cons eventually throw in "I can't just give that Gold away for free" at some point in the conversation Please don't sell bullshit on here, it won't be tolerated."

    That's one thing I have noticed about many "know it all ebayers" they think they are the BEST and hate on anyone that knows more due to their own insecurities...while a guy like me continually seeks knowledge, reading, writing e books, calling ebay reps, joining ebay groups...ect I see a lot of your type in the bay community...most are just ignored and miss the good deals as us insiders give each other a heads up when there is a good buy out or a discounted group purchase.


    Said with respect...Your are not a ebay Vet (mid at best) if you were you would know exactly what I'm talking about and it's not cheap china shit or Walmart. It's a site many buy from often and all one needs to do is open a non-personal DBA and they will set up a re-sellers account for free and allow you to have access to their catalog and discounted rates. The simple fact that you do not know exactly what I'm talking about says alot again all due respect. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you.

    I only sell high end stuff...hard to find high end as you should know that's where the REAL $$$ at. Average price point was $100+. My biggest markets where in Europe...I have shipped to "Lords" in the UK on a regular basis as they like my product. Shipped to some of the wealthiest and well known shops in France. Yatta Yatta....I don't mess with cheap anything...again the $ is in High End Product that is only available in Local Regions (you should know what that means).


    When I was in my early twenties I went to consult for a very sick gentleman that only had about 6-8 months to live. He was a TRUE eccentric. He owned a Tree service with all the trucks and highend product to go with it. He also owned a pole barn in the back where he did welding for local farmers, scrapped metal and fixed cars...kinda like a "Country Mechanic" This dude had $500 snap-on tools still new in the package. Snap-on tools everywhere. Then he walks me out behind the garage where there is about a acre of tarp covered product that he bought from auctions. He would stay until everyone left after the auction then buy everything for pennies on the dollar.

    I design his ebay store...then show him how to use it. He gives me my $500 for 2 days work. Then as I'm walking out the door he says "hey, I don't think I will be able to list AND ship all of this heavy stuff...how about 50% / 50% and you do all the work. I said no...however after some more persuading $ he got me to me with the lawyer and sign and full consignment contract.

    We sold half of the stuff in one summer...( it would have taken him 2+ years on his own to move what we did at almost retail margins) built up a name for ourselves then he realized that giving me 50% of EVERYTHING he had worked 30+ years for was alot....and it was....but so was the amount of high quality work I was doing. He offered to buy me out...Offer I could not refuse.

    That knowledge came for 18+ hours days, ebay books, talking with others...ect. I put in my time.


    So sorry dude if I came off rude but I'm NO bullshitter and I'm not trying to pitch shit. What I am trying to communicate to our fellow RIU'ers is "try ebay"...it's not a myth. And you can learn everything you need to know in the ebay Help pages...heck I think they even have Videos now. People hire me to save those 2+ years of working your ass of with little to no profits (like I did too at first).

    It's haters like you that scare these potential ebayers off telling them "it's not as good as he says" blah blah cause you do not want them to eat into your market. Less sellers + more buyers = higher margins. Instead of hating on someone that is just better than you at the bay game from all the hard work and time they put in why don't you work on yourself. I am not a hater...I'm a congratulater and as you see have not patients for negative nellies.

    You can do anything you want if you set your mind to it AND are WILLING to put in the long hard work and push though the "wall" when the other 99% quit...as they always do. You have to be that 1% that NEVER quits.

    I mean seriously help these people out and tell them it's not hard and they can do it with a some effort and research.

    And there's My book.

    I wish you the best in all your ventures. Now I am done :peace: Love and Respect.

    (said in my educated...stoner voice)​


You are a "everything else" seller. Ya, I get it.

Just a short response and I'm done with you. I wouldn't say I responded rudely I responded appropriately.

I am not a know-it-all, it took me almost two years to turn a profit, I barely made it as a powerseller in the beginning, I don't think my way is the best way, as a matter of fact my way is probably a good example of how not to start off on Ebay. You are the one claiming your way is best, that you are a "insider" which implies you know more then most, your "That's one thing I have noticed" paragraph is hypocritical, did you even notice that?
I've been on Ebay as a powerseller since 2002, if ten plus years doesn't make me a vet I guess no amount of time or sales will.

"I have shipped to lords in the UK" LOL You mean politicians? Good for you. You are talking as if all powersellers are in some secret group and I should know at all times what the fuck you are talking about.

You are a true story teller, Tony Robbins would love you.

To end, I am not a hater. I just called you out and you responded. I am not trying to scare people from starting up on Ebay, I'm being honest with them, it's not easy as you say and you know this. You even admit this, although how truthful you are is very questionable, in your past comments about putting 18 hours a day in and having to educate yourself on everything or in this very comment about all the hard work and time you had to put in. So which is it? Is it easy or is it hard? It's rhetorical, don't answer. Yes that is my goal, to keep less sellers out of the market so I have more buyers and more profits. Your language alone says exactly who you are.

No patience? You just replied a manifesto to me.

I will truly finish with your comment before the dumb fucking rap video you linked up.

"You can do anything you want if you set your mind to it AND are WILLING to put in the long hard work and push though the "wall" when the other 99% quit...as they always do. You have to be that 1% that NEVER quits. "

"long hard work" "push through the wall" "other 99% quit" that 1% that never quits"

You are admitting it's difficult. My main point. Thank you, how hard was that?

I'll throw up this vid, about as plausible as yours.

WoW, I stopped the ebay game when they bought paypal, and now they take like 7-10% of your money. I use to do the same drop ship shit back when I was 16. Good money back then poor money now. I also use to farm in pc mmo's for money at 12-15 years old. I had 2 computers and would use a auto program I bought off a forum to level up my character, just leave computers on all day. Then sell those characters on old school ebay for 1k a piece. Money was easy to get back in the day on the internet. Now everyone has the same hustle. You still get money, but not big money.

Here let me help you guys out to start a legit hustle and bring in some paper. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-Hello-Kitty-watches-women-Quartz-watch-Shiny-PU-Strap-watch-Lovely-style-7-colors/641293707.html . You could hustle those on ebay, by drop shipping them, you sell them, then get them to ship to customers house and you pocket money in paypal. OR If you live in Los Angeles or some big city, street hustle these, for 5-10 dollars. Just find a item you want to hustle on aliexpress.com and sell it.

Once you stepped your game up. go to optionsexpress.com get yourself a stock account and start making real online money daily, every morning M-F. When I just got my bank account at 16, I put 200 dollars in my stock account, bought 200 dollars worth of stocks forgot about it, came back 5 months later my 200 dollars turned into 1200 dollars. Have been doing day trading ever since. Right now if you have 20 dollars, get a stock account and buy any Marijuana related stocks. I bought shares of mjna about 10 months ago at .03 cents. Now its at .35. Best believe Im heavily invested in all related marijuana stocks now. Thats the next bubble.
Start your online hustle now.

If you have a cute girlfriend and a 10 inch dick, you can set up a "porn" website and make a killing. There are no products to buy and ship, no returns, no vendors to deal with, no Ebay and Paypal commissions, etc.
