How to Sell in Online Marketplaces

There are three resources that I will describe in the following article.  The first, is the big mac daddy of online selling - Ebay.   Ebay has a huge userbase and basically any product imaginable for traders to buy or sell. All of these resources are free to use, however you will be charged fees for selling items on Ebay and Amazon which is one of the main draws of Craiglist - no fees.  Craigslist is different because they charge you no fee for their services.  Ebay charges 10% of the final value of the item and Amazon charges a similar amount for each item you sell on their website.   I guess the main attraction to marketing and selling your items on any of these websites is the exposure your item gets.  If I list my items on these webpages I'm almost guaranteed to receive some quality potential leads because of the large number of consumers on these marketplaces.

Amazon - Amazon.com also has a seller's page where you can market your products. Amazon has millions of users and seems to know what they're doing when it comes to online selling.

Craigslist - Craigslist.com has been around for a while so I probably don't need to explain this one.  Craigslist is very similar to Ebay and lets you buy and sell items in an online marketplace.

Usertesting - Paid Usability Testing for Web and Mobile

Usertesting pays for website and mobile tests. I made a few thousand bucks from them over the last few months. Check it out, sign up here.  First, you must pass a qualification test to become accepted as a tester.   If I recall correctly, the signup process should take around 10-15 minutes.  So, they're not just handing you the money - you're going to have to work for it.  Once accepted, they'll pass out tests, but once they're quotas fill, you can no longer take it, so act quickly.  Website tests pay $10 and mobile tests using a mobile webcam pay $15.  Some tests get reviewed and the company will assign you a rating based on the average of your last 12 rated tests.  It's important to keep your rating high because Usertesting is looking for quality feedback that they can give to their developers so they can create betters apps and websites for a better user experience for everyone.
