how to make extra money

I think your idea of making "e-baying" a full-time job is a great idea! I would love to know what types of crafts you are doing. Once upon a time, an aunt of mine would make crafts and sell in yard sales. She made quite a nice profit from it. One of the things she did that made decent money for her was to take the thick pony-tail holders and she would crochet a pretty design around it (about 1/2 inch diameter from the holder) and she would sell them for $3. She could make one of them in about 15 minutes. I can remember her selling 100+ per yard sale. If I think of other things she did, I will get back on here and re-post.

I used to make cards and cushions mainly and sell them at craft fairs but the more I think about it the more I think eBay may be a good outlet for thm and there are other sites where you can sell your crafts online like Etsy. I've just spotted a book on Amazon about how to make money by selling your crafts on eBay soI've brought it and hope it will point me in the right direction. The crochet items sound great. My mum can crochet and knit really well so I'm trying to persuade her to make some fashionable tops which she could sell on the auction sites.
