Make Money with Craigslist

I know most people reading this are probably only interested in making money online from home using Craigslist with the least amount of effort as possible. However, don’t underestimate the earning potential of a little bit of real life work!

I recently saw an ad in the “labor” category under the “gigs” section. Someone needed a dresser moved from their garage to the upstairs bedroom and she was offering to pay $200 to get it done. She lived in my area and I used to work for a moving company so I figured I might as well reply and at least see if she was serious. Turns out the lady wasn’t kidding. She said it was a big dresser that would take two people to move, so I called a friend of mine up and asked him if he wanted to help. Obviously he did.

We went there and moved the dresser from the garage to the upstairs bedroom just like the ad said and we were handed $200 cash on the spot. The job literally took us five minutes to do and we each made $100. Heck, even if you count drive time and the little chit chat we had with the owner, we were still only gone 30 minutes.

We even felt so bad for taking that much money for such an easy job that we told here to take half of it back, but she insisted we keep it. Not bad for a few minutes work!

There are all sorts of ads in the “gigs” section for various odd jobs. They usually pay quite well for the time you have to put in. In my opinion they are definitely worth looking in to for some extra cash.
