Re-Selling Tickets: Good Money if You’ve Got the Patience

Recently, I’ve had quite a bit of modest success re-selling tickets online.  It’s actually easy to do if you have a little time and patience.  There is always a market for “primo” seats at the country’s best sporting events and concerts.  Obviously, these tickets are very hard to come by but not as hard as you think.  The key is to camp out on Ticketmaster about 2-3 minutes before the tickets are released and then try like mad for 5 minutes to pull the best seats possible.  My success rate for pulling great tickets is about 20-30% of the times that I try. 

When you “pull” good tickets, great money can follow.  For example, last week I spent $400 on 2 tickets to Madonna in San Diego.  About 4 hours later I sold those same tickets on StubHub for $1,120 (after Stub Hub’s 15% commission).  Thus, I made a profit of $720 in one day.  Not bad huh?  Obviously, not all my ticket re-selling ventures have been that profitable but that’s ok.  The point is:  this can be very lucrative if you have the time and patience to keep trying until you get seats for a great act or event.

It’s also important to know when these events go on sale.  I’m certainly no expert on this so I subscribe to site called Event Experts.   It costs $22 a month and has been worth every penny so far.  They have ticket broker “experts” who post there daily and give advice on what shows to buy.  There’s also a forum where you can talk with other ticket brokers.  I don’t plan to retire on my ticket re-selling profits but every little bit helps.

Have Fun!

Make Money Today–Guaranteed

Ok…so we’ve all seen the sites about how to make money online.  Some are legit, some aren’t.  Some take time too.  Many people want to get started right away and make money free online today.  Well, there’s a site where that can come true for you today. 

 It’s Amazon.com’s mechanical turk site:  www.mturk.com.  “M-Turk” is an online portal where webmasters come to pay people to do things on their sites.  For example many webmasters come there and offer .20 to .30 for you to post to their new forums.  They do this to get things off the ground and create some traffic–so, they’re willing to pay for it at first.  There are other tasks offered on M-Turk like filling out survey forms or submitting your site to a directory.  Most tasks pay about .25 USD or so.   The pay off isn’t great because it’s difficult to make more than about $3 an hour.  But, the site is run by Amazon.com so you know you’ll get paid as Amazon is a pretty solid company and has no interest ticking people off unnecessarily.  So, if you want some guaranteed money today…start by opening an M-Turk account and get some coin flowing in the coffers.  If nothing else it’s an easy and profitable way to kill an hour or so online.  You can do as many tasks as you want so the payoff is virtually unlimited.

Is There A Way to Make Free Money?

The short is answer is YES!

There is such a thing as free money. But you’ll need to read on to find out how to get it.

We know! Most financial experts say there’s no such thing as a free money unless it’s from a friend or relative. For the most part, these experts are correct. Financial institutions stay alive by lending out money and charging interest to the lender. The biggest loaners in the world are the credit card companies. They allow you to buy goods and services with money you don’t have and charge you exorbitant interest rates in return for the “privilege.”

However, the credit card companies’ greed can work to your advantage if you’re disciplined and play their game the right way. By the way, never forget, it’s their game that you’re playing and any slip-up on your part will give them victory over your wallet. So, be careful!

Step 1: Understanding the “0%” Trap

Credit card companies bank on a lot of things happening to make their money–not the least of which is that people pay back their loans very slowly.

The credit companies know and have been proven right time and time again that most people don’t pay off their balance every month. In fact, an overwhelming majority of consumers only pay the minimum payment. This is crazy if you ever done the math behind the “minimum payment” scam. An item you buy for $1,000 can end up costing several thousand if you just pay the minimum monthly payment or slightly above. This has the lenders licking their chops and banking free money every month. The credit card companies have such faith in the consumers’ “payback as little as possible” mentality that they are willing to give money away for 12 to 15 months without charging any interest. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover all have multiple cards that boast 0% interest on all purchases made for the first 12 to 15 months that you own the card. And yes, this is actually true! They will honor this promise as long as you at least pay the minimum monthly payment on time–YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED INTEREST for the promotional term.

Remember, the Visas and Master Cards of the world are not giving you this year of no interest because they like you and want to see you prosper. They are betting on the fact that you won’t pay this loan back by the end of 12 months and then…whammo!!!! You get hit with all the back fees and back interest that has been silently accruing for 12 to 15 months. Furthermore, you’ll get charged usurious interest fees for every month the card has a balance once the promotional period ends.
