Can You Really Make A Living Tearing Up Old Books And Magazines?
It might amaze you, but among the easiest items to sell on eBay is old pieces of paper. But only when you know the right sort of paper to offer for sale.
You can even make money by offering old pictures for sale that cost you little or nothing to acquire. Now, there is one topic that is a virtually guaranteed sale: dogs.
It is completely true. Dogs can put food on the table -- and money in the bank!
Offering images of dogs for sale to dog lovers and art collectors can bring a nice steady income, but surprisingly few people have caught on to this. So, there's room for more folks to get in and make money.
Want to know the best thing about this moneymaker idea? It's this: you can often obtain your stock--that is, your dog pictures and photographs--either for free or incredibly cheap.Then you turn around and resell the pictures--for a nice profit, of course--at eBay or another auction-type site.
Some folks make enough from this to pursue it full time. Dogs make a great area on which to concentrate, but a few others do very well, too -- trains and old sailing ships are two that come to mind.
Where can you find old dog pictures? The answer: drawings and photographs found in second-hand books that you purchase cheaply at flea markets, from thrift stores and from other online sellers.
Now go figure: As often as not, you can sell just one image from an old book and make more money than what the book itself cost. Your job is targeting those people who are seeking a specific image subject.
Look to our friend, the dog, for one of the best-selling subjects. A large contingent of buyers like all kinds of images of their favorite animal, the dog. Then there are others who prefer to collect photographs, paintings and drawings of a specific breed of dog. For example, a poodle fanatic could have dozens and maybe even hundreds of paintings and prints of poodles displayed in his house or office.
It's not at all difficult to find old books that are full of wonderful images of dogs, even books that were published a century or more ago.Some of them could contain as many as 40 or 50 such plates.
When you find this type of book, you can carefully remove the pages containing the illustrations, and mat them them individually. Believe this: You can then sell them for as much as fifty or hundred dollars-each!--on sites such as eBay.
Here's a tip: Retrievers, hounds and hunting dogs in general are the most sought-after dog subjects. But prints and photos of just about any kind of dog can be sold for a nice profit on eBay.
Besides the aforementioned dogs, ships and trains, keep an eye out for books with prints of old timey cars, cities and towns, country scenes, and horses. Several other subjecs also sell well.
To be successful in this, you must take time to learn where to find old books with the images that will sell. You must also learn how to remove the images so as to prevent damage. Learning to mount and attractively present your pictures is important to bringing in the high bids on eBay. The authoritative source on all of this is How To Make Money By Tearing Up Old Books And Selling Them On eBay.
So then, here's what I would call the bottom line? When looking for a fun and practical online moneymaking venture, dogs could really be your best friends. (And here's an objective look at the business of selling paper online.)
