alright hey guys this weekend I am gonna sell a bunch of stuff around my house
I have a printer, I have a futon, I have some clothes, I have this webcam, I have some stools
I have a whole bunch of stuff and I'm just gonna try to unload all
this stuff declutter and make a little bit of money in the process
so I think my goal in all this is going to be to make $200 from selling all this
stuff off so I encourage you to join me if you want to try to challenge yourself
to find stuff around your house and see if you can make $200 with it being
around the Christmas season this is a great time to unload some stuff as well
as have a little extra cash it seems like everybody could use a little extra
cash around this time of the year and to be honest I've actually had a lot of
success doing this I wrote an article years ago about how I went through my
entire house spent a month and actually decluttered and made over 2 grand by
selling all this stuff off and so if you want to see that exact process that I
use out of the video linked up above where I kind of go through all that but
in this video I'm gonna go ahead and just talk about one tool that I'm using
that I'm gonna do most of my selling on this weekend and if you do decide to
take this challenge and you post something about it on Twitter or
Instagram be sure to tag me and we're gonna go ahead and enter everybody who
tags us into a drawing for a $25.00 Amazon Gift Card so you might even be
able to get more money out of this whole thing okay so that's enough about that
I'm gonna flip over to my phone now so you can see exactly how simple this process
is and what I'm gonna be doing to sell off most of these items from around my house
alright assuming you know how to take pictures
with your phone we will now go to the process of listing and I'm gonna show
you how easy it is it's amazing it's awesome this isn't the only app that you
can use but I really like this one called letgo and they just make it really
really simple there's a lot of buyers on it in most areas that I've found and so
what we're gonna do is just click this big sell your stuff button and I'm just
gonna go ahead and select other items now we're allow access to our photos so
we can see you know we'll just go ahead and list first single list is this a
little futon thing we got here and I took a couple different pictures of just
showing how whatever different parts of it lay down and things like that and so
we're going to post this that says it listing its posted we're now going to
add a price I'm gonna go ahead and say 60 bucks or something like that I'm not
gonna put this on Facebook but you could do that if you want it if you want to
give it away free you could do that as well and then it is posted it's
literally that simple now if you want a better chance of selling it you can add
a little bit of description and so we're definitely going to do that just - or a
title in description so I'm going to call this like black
we'll do that and then like in description I'll say
and we could add more details like if it there was a brand name or something like
that but I think this probably should be good for this and then what'll probably
happen hopefully I will get into yeah so they also have ways you can kind of
amplify this a little bit some of these all this click over here let you see
what's going on so you can pay to kind of boost it and get in front of more
people and you can do this if you want but I would suggest trying it without
and see if you can get away doing this for free without having to do that and
so I'm just go ahead and list another item let's see I'll go ahead and put
this office chair up here post yeah and we'll say 25 bucks for this I guess
we'll just say office chair I don't know
non-smoking house because personally that's something that I well if you've
ever gone to somebody's house to buy something especially something with some
cloth on it and do you get there and it's a smoker sighs you're like yeah
yeah you know I mean if you're not smoke if you are smoker then maybe it doesn't
bother you but for me you know I'll say without pets - that's it yeah without
pets and that should be good just go ahead and click Save Changes and there
we are so as you can see it is just that simple and you can move to your house
really quick take pictures of whole bunch of stuff and put it up now what's
gonna happen let's see if I can go over here what's gonna happen is you're gonna
get messages from people who and this was an item I had listed a while ago
people are gonna ask you hey is the thing still available and then you can
answer yes it's still for sale or whatever it is and in any way you can
just start responding to them and what's great about is you can find out stuff
about them you know so you can look at their profile you can see if they're
verified yeah so that's what's great about this versus Craigslist and
Craigslist can't be good for some things but this is great because you actually
see the people on the other side a lot of times they will verify themselves by
linking a phone number by connecting their facebook account and so you can do
a little stalking on them if you want just to confirm that there's somebody
you want to you know buy from but yeah it's it's a great way to sell whole
bunch of stuff around your house and make some extra cash so that's my goal
for this weekend see if we can I have a handful of other things I'm gonna go
through and list and see if we can make 200 bucks by selling off some of the stuff
alright well you can see how simple this whole thing is and I'm gonna
get to work and start getting the rest of stuff listed and getting it sold and
so again if you're gonna join us in this challenge be sure to post something
Instagram or Twitter tag us (#declutteringchallenge) and we will get you entered into this giveaway
for this $25 Amazon Gift Card so typically with an app like letgo or
Craigslist or one of these local kind of sales listings place the best things to
sell are heavy things you don't want to ship now if you do have something you
can ship that isn't more than a couple pounds and isn't too big
eBay is the best place to because you're now serving a worldwide
market your potential for buyers is so much bigger and as a result you're much
more likely to get a higher price for the item that you sell and so if you
haven't seen our video how to do that we'll have that video linked up where I
go step-by-step through that entire process and then on top of that if you
have a whole bunch of books lying around your house the easiest way to sell them
is with this other tool and I'll have linked up in this video right here as
well alright so that's all for now hope you join me in the challenge and we will
and we will chat soon
