#4. Combine Gary Vee's #Flipping Tactics with Making Bitcoin
Today I’ve got another way to make Bitcoin starting with no money. That’s what I focus on here at Make - how you can start making and holding cryptocurrencies without having to buy them.
This method will allow you to either make money directly in Bitcoin or to make cash, starting with having nothing, so that you can buy Bitcoin.
We start with the age old adage ‘buy low, sell high’, recently retooled for the online flipping world by entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and then we elevate it by being able to start with starting from zero, with completely no money.
You’ll need to get you hands on things you can sell that you don’t have to pay for. These can be items you have in your home that you’re not using and have wanted to get rid off for ages or free items on Craigslist, like in the following example:
You can also ask friends or family if they have items they’d like you to get rid off for them. Sometimes they’ll be happy to just give you the items in exchange for taking them out of your house
Once you’ve acquired an item for free you can sell it and ask for payment in cryptocurrencies. This doesn’t seem so far fetched as there are plenty of folks who are used to spending crypto online. Craigslist has a tick box for accepting cryptocurrencies. You can always negotiate that if you sell through Facebook Marketplace and accept crypto directly. Unfortunately eBay doesn’t allow you to accept payment in cryptocurrencies so you’ll need to use that cash to buy on an exchange or similar onramp.
You can also go to Bitcoin communities in your area directly (find them on Twitter, Facebook and Meetup.com) and ask them if they would be interested in buying what you’re selling and pay for it in Bitcoin.
The graphic below shows a Craigslist page with “cryptocurrency:ok” marked.
At present I’m not aware of any crypto-native marketplaces for selling used goods, so if you are please let me me know either here, on Twitter or by email.
While this may seem like a difficult process, it is a way to earn 1, 2 or even 3 BTC in a year as the #trashtalk #flippingsaturday crew on Twitter and other platforms can attest to.
