Stop Gap Fast-Cash methods vs sustained profits.

This month, October, celebrating 40th year online selling, and 56th year of buying and selling. So what have I learned you might find useful?

First, fast cash. Almost all of us have found ourselves in need of some fast cash, for as many reasons as there are people, and here has been the very best methods I've used, seen or heard of to bring in the fastest of fast cash:

#1 SELL something you already have. I suggest your TV, get a quick 50 bux, put a sign on it and set it on front porch if it is any thing newish, you'll get a quick sale. Then look at all your other stuff, and maybe there is some ready cash there too, use Facebook marketplaces and often collect cash the same day.

I don't advocate borrowing money, but you may have to now and then, and if you do any sort of group offers, then maybe a Go Fund Me or similar type thing can relieve your cash stress.

I also don't advocate stealing. Those are 3 fast money getting methods; beg, borrow or steal...none of which is good for your spirit. Best way is to EARN it, fastest way is to sell something you already own.

Next fastest way is to DO something other people don't/can't do, like washing windows, raking leafs, cleaning garages, apts., or any labor you may be capable of. Finding paying customers is the hard part, although knocking on doors will find someone who needs help quickly, whatever it might be.

So, SELL something, or DO something and put fast cash in your pocket. But once the cash emergency has passed, then what? Will be forever in a panic mode, hand to mouth, never getting ahead? Many live that way. Also not good for your spirit.

The fastest business aside from DOING is selling something you don't have but could, today they fancy it up with arbitrage or middle man but finding something someone has for sale, securing it and then flipping it for a profit is one of the fastest and best ways you will find to make money. Here at WF, Warrior member savidge4 has provided a complete how to blueprint on how to do this on eBay:

And that is just ONE of the ways to buy and sell and flip for profits. As noted, I'm now in my 56th year of buying and selling and there has never been a down year, an off year, a period of time except for covid where contact was limited (but even then a lot of flipping took place) and it will continue on too.

56 years ago, there was no one to tell me how to do it, but today, you can find all kinds of info and courses, books, reports and posts, threads and videos on how to flip things for a profit.

So you should know and understand, if you want to make fast cash, or get out of a financial crisis quickly; buying and selling stuff is one of the better answers.

As for Online. Now in my 40th year, a decade before the www was of any real use for making money purposes; we had bulletin boards mostly, and those wonderful 4 baud modems screeching in our offices for several minutes connecting us to the ONLINE communities. What a bunch of geeks and nerds we were back then. A guy named Sanford Wallace upset a lot of applecarts cause that guy wanted to sell us stuff...the nerve he had. He basically created SPAM. And was much disliked among the purists.

I was more covert, offering information in brown unmarked envelopes, with such beauties as How to Start a CULT for Fun and Profit. Couldn't believe the number of money orders rec'd and po boxes I mailed to.

But even then, a basic fundamental of marketing was taking place; offering what people wanted to buy, and not by spamming the groups, but via participation and subtlety (whatever happened to Mr. Subtle?)...

In both instances, selling online or selling offline directly, one big idea covers them both, offer what people WANT to buy now. The more targeted the buying group is, the more buyers you will find. So, thems the basics. Any questions? Will be happy (maybe) to share my experiences.

OH, and although buying and selling stuff is great for one off money makers, it can be used to build a business too....but for online my choice was information, in small doses, to a hungry crowd over decades. That works too.
