You might have heard stories of people raking in tons of money from Craigslist. If you want to know how you can have a profitable side hustle on this popular platform, then continue reading this article for ideas!
1. Buy and sell stuff
People sell many kinds of items on Craigslist. Some even give stuff away for free, provided you pick it up. You can find a literal treasure trove if you know where to look.
To make money, you can buy items on the cheap on Craigslist, and then turn around and list the same item for a much higher price! The difference is, of course, your profit.
Another technique you can use is called retail arbitrage where you buy an item on Craigslist, and then sell it on another platform like eBay or social media.
2. Sell various services
If you have a skill that other people can benefit from, then, by all means, put up a listing on Craigslist advertising that fact. You can sell items in many different categories like automotive, beauty, computer, creative, financial, household, labor, legal, lessons, pet, skilled trade, writing, and more.
3. Find leads for your business
If you offer a service and you need clients, then you can head on over to Craigslist and look for people who are looking for your service. For instance, if you?re a designer, you can answer ads from people who are specifically looking for a graphic designer to help them with their logos and graphics needs.
