I’ve gotten a lot of emails from people just wanting to make a few extra bucks a month. Not everyone is looking for a crazy affiliate-driven lifestyle changeover, most just want to supplement their income. So, I’m going to tell each of you how to make an extra $1000 dollars a month using a credit card, a lil time, and maybe a drop or two of gasoline.

First off, this works best if you live in a city or area large enough to have a craigslist ‘city’ nearby.

Go to eBay, login, search “xbox 360 wholesale” … scroll down a bit, there are tons of “Lots” of xbox 360’s for sale. Buy a “lot” of them.

Yes, half of them are going to be RROD (red ring of death) - but guess what kids, Microsoft will repair them all, for free! When you receive your 8 xboxes, immediately plug them in. Hope you have one or two that work out of the box. Some will RROD - put them in a stack. Once you get all the ones that are broke, call the 1-800-4MY-XBOX. Tell them you bought a LOT of them, that some of them are messed up, and you want them repaired under the extended warranty. Tell them you’ve followed all the steps, know that they are RROD and that you dont want to bullshit with troubleshooting them - tell them you just want the box mailed to your house.

They will mail you a box for each system (takes like 3 days) and you package up each of the systems. Send them away! About two weeks later, your going to get a refurbished xbox!

Now, while we are waiting on the bad ones to come back, lets put the working ones on craigslist. Look at what people are charging for an xbox 360, and sell them for $25 dollars less than your competitors. Every xbox i posted got 3 to 5 responses - be sure to list that it DOES or DOES NOT have the HDMI cause that gets really annoying after a 1000 emails asking about it.

Sell each xbox for profit (whatever you can get) — be careful if you have to drive to someones house — Craigslist people can be a tad bit creepy.

When the new refurbished ones come back to you, put them on craigslist too.

After its all said an done, you’ve probably made $70 to $100 on each of them. Easy money, and floated on credit!

If you want to make money, you just got to hustle for it a little bit!
