Good NestingAnd while you could try different ways to work from home, such as freelancing, here’s how you can sell stuff in it instead for some extra cash.
Besides binging Netflix, many people stuck inside have turned to home improvement projects to make long days pass by quicker. What’s one of the most popular projects? Cleaning and getting rid of clutter.
Although some dust-collecting items may be destined for the trash, others could still carry a value that you could convert into income.
How? By selling them to other people online.
Here’s a list of some of the best places to sell your stuff on the Internet. Not only can this task prevent boredom during your coronavirus quarantine, but it can also bolster your bank account so that you can lessen any financial losses from the shutdown.
The Best General Online Marketplaces
No matter how unique the item may be, you can probably find a buyer online, and massive marketplaces make the process much easier.
You can sell pretty much anything (except for illegal or prohibited goods, of course) via marketplaces like eBay and Facebook Marketplace. Since both have so much traffic, the likelihood of attracting interested buyers is quite high, whether you’re selling used car parts, kids’ toys, designer handbags, or anything else you find while decluttering your home.
Other general marketplaces include eBid, Etsy, and Bonanza.

- ThredUp
- Tradesy
Do you have a wedding dress taking up a ton of room in your closet? If you won’t be using it again in the future for any purpose, you can sell it on websites geared explicitly towards that micro-niche, such as:
