Step 1 - How to Sell - with What I Do All Day

Good Morning Everyone! Are you ready to learn how you can make some quick money from home, selling the things you no longer need? After an overwhelming amount of interest in this topic I decide I would walk everyone through some steps! First off are you apart of our "How to Sell" Group on Facebook? 
 If not click HERE and request to join! 
This page will be the quickest way to ask me questions, post photos and share ideas! 

Step # 1 
Where do you plan on selling? 
If you have never sold online before I would suggest starting with Facebook pages/groups! It is always nice to put a face to the person you are selling to, and usually my items sell faster on those pages. I also sell on Craigslist and eBay which I will go into further soon! 
If you are not already a part of a selling group/page you need to find one! Below is a photo of me "searching" for a selling group or page on Facebook. As you can see I put my town "Pueblo" and a list of selling pages show up. My personal favorite is the Pueblo Online Auction/For Sale page (I also admin this page) 
Everyone in the group is local, and it is for "auction style" selling ONLY! If you can find a local page like this I would recommend you join it right away! If not you can join a regular for sale page in your town. 
Join a few and figure out which top 2 you would like to sell on. 


  

 You might find a set of Rules and Guidelines in the Facebook pages you join. Learn those rules and do your best to follow them! Trust me you do not want to be removed from these pages, the people on these pages are willing to pay you for your unwanted things! 
Think of all that $$ you can make if you follow the rules

Maybe Facebook is not your thing, no worries you can start with Craigslist! You will want to go to Craigslist and find your state, then find your town.  Click around and see how things work on this page.

 
At a later date I will go into more detail about how to sell on eBay. For now we will cover the basic pages you can sell on. Get comfortable with selling on these pages and master the tips I give to you before branching out to eBay. Trust me, if you have never sold on eBay save yourself the stress and start on Facebook and or Craigslist! If for some reason you can not find a selling page on Facebook for your town, you can always create one, and add your friends! If you do that refer to the rules and guidelines above for one of the pages I am in. You will want those in a page you create! Once you have found a page or two that you want to start selling on meet back here for the next step!

Curb Appeal

Hey everyone! Hope you had a relaxing weekend! Today I wanted to share some ideas on "Curb Appeal"! I often wonder what I can do to make my home look better from the outside! Everyone has their own style and taste, so this may not fit what you would like! My good friend Christina is the queen of DIY! I swear she is always doing something new and it usually is a DIY! If you can not teal she shares the same love for the color aqua/teal! The photos above are all DIY projects she got done over this summer! When she told me she was going to spray paint those tires for her back yard...all I thought was "Oh Good God" I honestly saw tacky in my head! But when I saw them in person, I was in love with the way they came out! I really thought they were going to be bright neon colors...but they are more of pale earth tones! Once her plants started growing from them it really added to the look! She also cut a big whole out of an old chair she had in her garage! She spray painted that and added a pot with another plant! As you can see she spray painted a milk can the same color as the chair! When you drive up to her house you see random "pops" of color and they all mix well together! Hopefully her ideas will inspire others to find something they love and and put a little twist on it and add your own personal touch to your home for some extra "curb appeal"!
