$9,000 in 2 months- can I do it?

[Suhail Iqbal]

Hello,

I’m am still learning to code an app to be which has already gotten soft proof as I want to solve a small problem first. Whilst I wait, I want to make quick cash that isn’t my usual overtime at work.

I’ll write a bit about my process here. I will go a bit old school and sell any method- mainly in person, random sites and sometimes Facebook marketplace. My aim is to make £7,000 ($9042) in 2 months (matching my monthly salary with a bit of overtime).

I have sold before but got “distracted” with marriage. I wasn’t aware but although introverted, I am actually quite good at selling products that are in good condition.

Today I saw an old neighbour near his rental property and he mentions throwing some chairs away that he bought but the legs were too weak for his liking and he threw all the receipts etc away. I go inside and see they’re perfectly fine! I asked if I could have them for free as he wanted to throw them and he agreed. I saw they were in good condition and set myself a challenge. I need them sold before my wife gets back from work.

Item: 4 chairs (originally bought by owner for £20/ $25 In a deal)
Bought: free
Sold: £35 ($45)

How did I sell it? I literally went next door and asked if they wanted to buy some newly new chairs in a matching pair for a small price. I told them I’d bring them and delivery would be free. They were going out so when they’d returned after an hour I was stood in their garden with the new chairs- sold immediately.

He isn’t sure about the table but I already have a buyer lined up in case (not the same person who bought the chairs).

Profit so far: £35/$45.
