Step by Step Guide to Snap by Groupon

Can I just say that I love saving money on milk and produce? Snap by Groupon will allow me to save money on both of those things. 

Some things I like about the app are that you can use the app at any store, you don't have to verify your purchases other than the receipt, you can use the app on your computer without a smartphone, you can combine with other apps like Ibotta and Checkout51, and you can combine with coupons. 

If you sign up through my link, I will make $1. I would encourage you to sign up through the link and then invite your friends to sign up through your link!

 1. Check out to see what offers are available.

2. Buy the items and click on the snap receipt button. 

3. Take a picture of the receipt.

4. Select offers on the receipt. Some offers you can use more than once. If you look at the picture below, I could have bought several cleaners in order to get more than one offer. I could have gone higher than even the 141.

5. Hit claim and the amount will be added to the account.

Tips for Listing on eBay

I have been trying to declutter somethings from the house and have been looking for aspects to sell them and make money. I have tried selling somethings on local Facebook pages, but after several times of getting stood up, this gets frustrating. I have recently rekindled my love for selling on eBay.

I am addicted. I have the eBay app on my phone and check out the things that I am selling frequently.

What to list? I find it intriguing when I watch things sell on eBay that I don't think will sell. Although at the same time, some things that I think will sell, don't. I won't sell things for less than $0.99, but I will list things for that price if I know they will sell. Usually, $5 is the price that I shoot for in order to make it worth my while.

How to list? I search for a similar item to see what they are selling for. This search gives me a price to start the item. On the page of the item, I click on sell similar. This option saves a little time in listing the item.

Complete the Listing 

1. Title- think of what you would search for and include this in the title. You have quite a few characters, so add a lot of detail. See what others have listed their item as.

2. Details- list what is pertinent, but don't stress over this area. If your item is new, this are is easy. If used, make sure you list what is the matter. Be honest, but you don't have to write a book. I try to get more details in the title

3. Auction or buy it now?- I have started including both. I always put the buy it now a little higher than what I am hoping to sell the item.

If you don't list buy it now, some people will try to contact you and get you to sell your item to them. I get frustrated when sellers contact me to sell. So, I have removed that option from them by including a buy it now price.

4. Price- a few factors will determine your price.

• Will it create lots of interest? If you have something like an iPhone, start your listing at $0.99. People will then watch your item and may bid for more than they would pay for a buy it now price. If you start your item at $99.99, not as many people will watch and potentially bid on your item.
• Will only one person want the item? If you have a unique item that won't cause a bidding war, then start the auction at the lowest price that you would take for the item.

5. Length- most times I pick 7 days for mine to be listed. Occasionally, I will go shorter but more for things such as I want items to end on the same day.

6. Shipping- always make sure you charge enough. Nothing like selling something and then loosing money on shipping. If you have a scale, this will help you figure out how much something weighs. Make sure you take into account the packaging as well.

Paying for your shipping through eBay will save you money. Investing in a postal scale will pay for itself if you sell just a few things on eBay. 

Be patient. Most things will sell, it just may take listing the item several times. 

Any questions you have or tips for me?

If you are interested in selling on eBay, then pin this for future reference.

Make Money By Selling Your Books Online

A friend recently asked me what my favorite way to sell books online was. I know there are lots of places to sell books and different options for trading books, but I thought I would share with you all my current favorite way to sell books.

I do use paperbackswap sometimes for books. However, I don't like paying shipping, and I don't like the book sitting around until someone requests the book. However, I did just get a good book about nursing the other day using paperbackswap.

I also know that you can sell book on amazon, but once again I don't like having the books around my house until they sell.

One day I stumbled on someone's blog who used and liked Powell's. I thought I would try it out and I really like the ease I have in selling books. You must have 3 books or $5 worth of credit in order for them to pay the shipping.

How Powell's works:

1. Enter the ISBN of the book you want to sell.
2. They quote a price if they are willing to buy the book.
3. Request either to be paid by paypal or Powell's credit.
4. Print the shipping label. They pay the shipping!
5. Mail and wait for refund.

What I like about Powell's:

Free shipping
I can get cash, well my paypal money can become cash!
Super easy for me.

Have any of you ever used Powell's? Do you have any other sites that you like to sell books through?
