boyhood4. Society looks down on people who collect the wastes of others, but what they don't realize is that they could get more money in one day than what they get in one week working at their daily job from lling other people's unwanted goods.
I am no "make-money-quick guru" but I have made a couple thousand dollars from lling what others throw out to the garbage. As the saying goes: "One man's trash, is another man's treasure."
You don't have to start a business. You could simply ll cond-hand things people give away and p
rofit from it. In my high school days, I had my first experience lling an old pre-loved Logitech to a buyer au for $50. I remember how exciting it was for me to make money from something I no longer needed. I technically made a $50 profit in less than an hour.
2013年12月英语六级How to make $1000 with $0 in a day?
Go on platforms such as Facebook market or Gumtree and find things people are giving away for free in your local area, then ll it. I found an abundance of houhold items like cupboards, shelves, mirror cabinet, and chairs that ll very well. Don't worry what people think of you, remember that you could get a few hundred for tho.
