A playbook for Generating Business Ideas

16 Sites to Make Side Money
This section contains a list of sites you can use to make money online working at
home or from anywhere in the world. The below sites illustrate the fact that you
don’t  need  a  unique  idea  to  make  money.  If  your  goal  is  to  make  some  quick
cash,  have  a  flexible  schedule,  or  work  from  the  location  of  your  choice,  the
below sites might be great for you.
1. eBay
eBay can be used to sell physical assets that you own and don’t need anymore.
For example, you may have DVDs you’ve already watched, or clothes you don’t
wear anymore.
You could also use eBay to start a wholesaling business. You could buy goods in
large quantities either on eBay or another site, and then sell them on eBay in
smaller quantities at a higher price per unit than you bought them for.
2. Airbnb
My personal experience with Airbnb has been fairly limited but I have a bit of
experience and I have learned a lot about it from others. Using Airbnb you can
rent out your apartment or house, or simply a room in your apartment or house.
Depending on the location and quality of your real estate, you may be able to
earn a substantial amount of money.
