Dear losers,
A lot of you out there think you need money to start your online business. The fact is you really don’t. There are so many ways to do stuff for free online nowadays, even if you’re broke and one step away from living on the street, you can still get your online business going.
But let’s say some of you need the extra money to get something going, because you want to buy a domain name, host your own website, buy some software, or WHATEVER. Fact is, you need to pay for something, and you ain’t got no MFM.
To those of you looking for some start-up capital, I have one word for you…
EBAY.
Ebay is awesome. Why? Because that entire website is set up to make people money! So I’m going to tell you how you can get some start-up funds using this great service.
1. Sell your crap
How much stuff do you have lying around that you don’t need anymore? TVs, baseball cards, old computers, George Foreman grills…
Take all the crap you have an no longer need and SELL IT ON EBAY. People on Ebay will buy anything. I’m sure by getting rid of all the stuff you don’t want anymore, you can make a few hundred dollars - enough to start your online business.
2. Sell your services
You can also use ebay to sell your time and efforts to do tasks for other people. Did you know you could offer to send out 1,000 friend requests on Myspace in exchange for $100? Seriously, there are people on Ebay doing that type of thing!
Think of some type of service you can offer people and auction it off - make money that way. Its easy! It just takes a little bit of time and effort on your part.
3. Sell your body
People auction off their body parts on Ebay all the time. Pregnant women auction space on their fat bellies. Some people auction off their foreheads. Basically, the winner of the auction pays to get a temporary tattoo applied to the person’s body part. You hear about these auctions all the time. As long as you have no shame, go for it.
4. Broker auctions
Go on classified ad websites (like Craig’s List) and see what people are looking to buy. Then email them a link to an ebay auction that has what they’re looking for in it, but use your affiliate link instead of a direct link. That way, if they sign up and buy the auction, you get money!
Simple right? So easy, a brain damaged poodle could do it. So what’s stopping you?
Quit complaining about how you got no money and make some money!
Later,
-RJ

Hove you sold all rights for “The Rich Jerk”/ is this the same bloke? one minute you’re sending out obnoxious crap the next usefull snippets of information - keep it up!
Incase of your really wanting to know; Lack of Site is preventing me.
Thanks for the advice.
Best Regards..!
Feebay is really not as good as it used to be with what they charge to sell and the lowered auction traffic you may find that your not making anything.
In order to sell on ebay you need things first.
Most importantly you need good positive feedback. You really won’t see the results you want unless you have around 100 feedback.
Starting on ebay is hard at first, and if you add paypal to the ebay mix its nearly impossible. I have sold on ebay off and on for the past 7 years and things are way harder now than they were when I started.
Paypal holds new user funds for unlimited time now.
BUT you are still expected to SHIP The items. (SHIPPING IS NOT FREE)
You can’t sell digital good’s like ebooks, files etc without accepting paypal. But PAYPAL WILL Give someone their money back if they are not happy or say they didn’t get their download.
AND EBAY changed their feedback policy so that any jerk having a bad day can give you negative feedback and basically ruin you without thinking twice about it.
NOT TO MENTION the higher fee’ Rates AND the recent changes to the default search algorithm.
Ebay is just not really as great a place as it used to be and really not worth it for a newbee.
The whole system over their is jacked. And for a newbee it is even more jacked.
If you are a seasoned seller you could do well I am sure. But for the normal everyday housewife looking to stay home and work, its just not as feasible of an option as it was in the past. Not with all the bull. And especially not with GREEDBAYS new fee structure. Like hell if I am going to give them more than HALF my money. FOR WHAT>???
I do have a Store and it has real good and excelent product’s and I have not done as well as I should..
I have been getting out of the programs that do not work and does not to get me at the point of makeing money.. Can a person make a lot of money with only four or five businessess?
Selling services on eBay is like the totally easiest way to generate emergency cash or some start up capital. You’ll make even more money if you combine selling your services with sending people to your own auction with your affiliate link through classified ads.
Top notch stuff…as always.
I would advise any one not to fall into this trap we did and when we found that it didnt work for us and requested a refund under the money back guarentee we got the run arround and never got our money back just one false promise from the rich jerk no wonder his rich
thank you, it is good idea`s , maybe helping, do you know ,i have my site
[salespage13goldmaker.com]
for about 9 month, ranket by yahoo,google and other search eingens , i did not make one sale,maybe iam not good jerk .!!!!!
thanks for the chance to move on, i am a bypass stroke patient need financial assistance.
God once said: “Men don’t need only bread to live”.
I simple have been trying
3 years now to find a way to make some extra money to
improve that style-life for my family. It still has
to happen and I spent close
to $4k I couldn’t afford.
I could tell much more to
emphasize my misfortune,but
I think this is enough
Isn’t it?
Take care,
Mauro

RJ, thanks for making me smile while I’m going through my emails. You certainly have a unique communication style. Whether you agree or disagree with what you have to say or advise, you can’t help but raise a smile at how you get your message across. hope I get a chance to meet you someday so I can see if the person matches the persona, regards Stephen
PS yeah I know. I’ve got no chance of ever meeting you until I make it out of Loserville.
puting an end to being Broke
Now that is a good tip, and damn straight R.J.!
I am not looking for a handout. I just want something I can work hard on that turns a profit and some straight f_ing talk to take me to the “promised-land.”
I have to admit to being “shell-shocked” with all the programs and offerings available promising to assist one in creating an f_ing income online… then squeezed-dried by ever increasing costs of one more “essential” module or service not mentioned in the original purchase price… Soon you are paying more and more for less and less; but you have to take the bait because you are already on the mf_ing hook! (Only one turning a buck is the “Guru” who plugged the program in the first place, as intended — may he or she burn in bloody hell
I’m with R.J on this post, sure eBay like all things is not how it once was but use that 6 lb mass on your shoulders and it’ll work. TIP: come up with some completely left of center idea or concept it’ll probably be more likely to garner interest on eBay. In Australia we had a cyclone last year that wiped out our banana plantations so the price of bananas went up to $19 / kg about which was about $3 / single banana.. so some dude auctioned off a banana in protest of this, it got picked up in mainstream media for being so completely odd that he sold the thing for $65. Like I said, use your brain dont do the same old thing and follow everyone else be unique and creative. For those of you really desperate heres an idea that will work. Buy a $3 polished piece of metal or a rock, have some ancient looking Egyptian hieroglypths engraved on it to make it look alien like and create a unique story about how it was handed down through a secret society and that the whoever holds it will get one wish. Say you had it and got you wish, and so has the person who had it before you etc, trust me people buy hope (Rule 1 from the RJ manual) guaranteed some one will buy it simply for the novelty side of things.
Scrapbookcutters - chill out. I’m talking about using ebay to sell some junk to make a quick buck to start up a business, not to start an actual business selling stuff on eBay.
People who put their entire business on eBay are fools. You can use eBay to supplement your business, but you gotta focus on getting your goods and services everywhere you can.
The one and only…

Hi, Rich!
You’ve captivated me at each email. Short, succinct, savvy makes me want a mentor in you. I need help! My opt-in page at http://www.fastestfatburn.com and my information/background & research web site — http://www.znatrainer.com — are “invisible” & not seen on the “Net.”
So much money needed now, with much more to learn, and a mentor to “maven” me, Rich … HELP!
Thanks & Ciao for now!
Zna “Trainer”
It’s just me again, let’s see if I can get it right this time.
I’ve been feeling my way through for a few months now, not really merchandising or trying to get traffic too much. Now I’m happy to be getting all these really great blog posts so I can use them along with your book to really get going.
#1 is you’ve got to be ready to take action. To the idiot who spent $4K and has nothing to show for it, he’s probably not even reading the shit! Or he reads it, but doesn’t DO it! Too many people want something for nothing. All total, I’ve spent less than $60, and I’ve made most of that back not even trying just on adsense.
Now I’ve got a site, and some good content, and a forum, and a newsletter, and I’m ready to start really pushing it.
BTW, I put an article on my site on how to make money online. Page two tells you how you actually have to work very hard to get anywhere. Most people don’t get past page two, according to the stats. LOL! What a riot!
Thanks for all the great advice!
The following two auction/store sites are good for listing merchandise. Check them out. http://www.livedeal.com, and bidville.com. Let me know what you think.
So if you cant afford the $7 for a domain name things must be really tight. Like R.J says eBay is a good place to start but I have found another simple way to start making money.
1. This program works and it pays out GUARANTEED. Now you aint going to retire from it BUT like I said it JUST WORKS. Free to join & brain-dead simple all you need is an email address
http://www.bigvouchers.com/FreeMoney.htm
Thanks for the tips R.J, but I’m surprised you did’nt put a eBay affiliate link in your post.. damm you must be rich to not care about the dimes and quarters anymore. Great stuff.
Sup. I want to make a comment about eBay.
RJ, those are some good ideas. Really good, for people starting out fresh. But let me warn you… do not become fully dependent on eBay for income!
Last month they slapped thousands of loyal eBay sellers on the ass with the new ‘NO DIGITAL DOWNLOADS ON EBAY’ policy.
Along with the fact that they have rules, rules, and RULES out the asshole.
One month you can be making $20,000 a month from eBay, and next month you could get suspended for accidentally posting a wrong link. Its eBay, what they say goes, and you cannot reason with them.
Just a fair warning out there. Don’t put all your eggs in eBay’s basket, because eBay will ROB your basket when you are least expecting it.
Last month ‘No digital downloads’, whats next?
eBay is a good supplemental income, or starter income. Diversify your income streams as soon as you can, and you will REALLY be glad you did in the long run.
Peace

Yeah, funny with the big sites isn’t it… myspace, ebay, google… rules out the ass… of course, they have to do this cos there’s so many people trying to game the system it gets ugly. Still, they p*** me and everyone else off, don’t they!
Good tips RJ…. everyone else… remember: QUALITY CONTENT RULES. If no-one really gives a damn about your content, you won’t make much money, it’s just another web page in a sea of a billion web sites….

I WOULD HAVE LOVE TO INVEST MORE MONEY BUT I AM CURRENTLY ON A TGHT BUDGET
I will try it.
===========================
RJ,
I knew my instincts about eBay were correct - and I stayed away from it. Or maybe it just simply didn’t appeal to me…
I trust my instinct to know when something feels right, and I Go For It!!
Yes, I had to use OPM to get started (a dusty credit card), but have quickly paid it off and have not l@@ked back since!
You gotta love whatever you get into, and do whatever it takes to get off your butt to get started and make it successful!
Of course, it seems pretty wise to follow a proven cashflow system, where you can just put the pieces together and enjoy the “fruits of your (or someone’s) labor”!
I know I did - Yeah, Baby!!
