#5: Sell your stuff in your demographic area on social media

This might sound super obvious to today’s generation, but for those of you who aren’t technologically inclined, you can sell pretty much anything that you have and don’t need on social media pages like Facebook, by attracting friends from your local neighbourhood. Chances are that these groups already exist, so you won’t have to do much searching.

-Jewellery

-Crafts and even unused gift cards
