This morning I looked at my bank account. Once again no good fairy came along and turned my balance from red to black. My daily affirmation "I am a money magnet" hasn't kicked in yet. All my eyes see is a blood-red four-digit balance. In numbers: minus one-three-one-nine dollars! Help! What on earth can I do?

I'll call Jess. She is my best friend. Together we have always been strong, and still are! I hope we can come up with a brilliant idea. A breathless Jess pants a "Hello" into the phone. She is decluttering. Jess has decided to turn the basement upside down from top to bottom. Everything has to go.

"Tell me, what are you doing with all that stuff?" There was silence on the phone: "Throwing it out, of course!"

TV and the Brilliant Idea

Something clicks for me. Making money online - that is the motto now. "Tell me, Jess. Have you ever seen those TV shows about turning junk into cash online or selling stuff from the attic?" "You know perfectly well that I almost never turn the box on!"

In short, I fill her in on the most important shows in this genre. One thing was certain: making money online is our weekend job. If you can even call it work. Because it is a lot of fun. That quickly became clear to me. Above all, the clothes were due for a thorough clear-out.

Making money online


There are special platforms for offering pieces you no longer love. I want to get rid of it and someone else is happy. The skirt is too big, the pants too tight and the designer bargain was just a closet hanger.

I should become a saleswoman, because I quickly convinced Jess of making money online. We agreed that from now on we would call every three hours and report on how things were going and what we had put online.

Making Money Online and the First Clicks

I really didn't think it would go that fast. After just a few hours I had already sold something. It was the same for Jess. We cheered loudly together on the phone. My designer bag sold in no time. Eight emails back and forth and the piece was gone.

We got bolder and bolder and put all sorts of things online. We have nothing to lose. We can only win. Then we came up with the idea of going through the books, because there is a market for those too. Collect all the books and pack them in a box. The email comes to the house saying what the items are worth and whether they will all be accepted. After that the money goes into your account.

Making money online is so easy and really fun!
