1. Sell something !! yes sell something, well that is essentially the only way to make money off these websites. But by sell something, i mean sell a product you can buy for cheap. If you have some initial money you can invest, it is easiest to sell a product to people in need of one through Kijiji. At the moment Kijiji has a large market for knock off beats. All the types seem to sell, even the ones that beats never even made have a tendency to sell. However, one rule of thumb when selling on these websites is to be honest. Tell the if they are knock offs but make sure you still sell it to them by telling them the cost of real ones. But that is just one example and over time those will not be big anymore. but generally electronics tend to sell and jewelry does too. It is important to be able to tell the what the market is though.
2 ways to determine the market  are: if you attend school or work you can see what people wear or need. The easier way is to go onto Kijiji or craigslist,and look under categories you would wish to sell in and see how many hits different people are getting on their ads. See which items seem to appear most. Whats next is to get a supplier. Search on the internet suppliers for jewelry or for electronics. This step may take a while ,but eventually you will find one. Make sure its an overseas supplier to ensure your getting it for the cheapest. Once you find a cheap item first calculate how much each individual unit will cost ,then check Kijiji or craigslist and see if a price that would make you a decent amount of profit is what everyone else is selling similar things at. And just for some ideas of what you can sell; consider things like jewelry, necklaces,speakers, headphones. Just small accessories that you can charge under $30 for.

2. Sell clothes. this option here is mostly for females who are into fashion,but a girls and women really enjoy looking good. this option here my girlfriend did for a while and found it to be very successful. Buying used guy jeans at a thrift shop and cutting them into shorts, maybe adding some beads or something on them, i don't know because i'm a guy, however, there is a market for handmaid things out there and clothing for females, it just has to look nice.

3. Do website design. As the title may suggest it can only be done if you now how to program well. With an increasing internet based market people need others who can build them a cheap website and mobile websites are in large demand too. if you are able to create websites post an ad. It is best if you can include a few sites you have done before so if you cant you'll have to charge significantly less.

4. design logos brochures or Photoshop images. If you are good with Photoshop designing creative brochures for people or editing pictures for businesses can be used to make money

5. Buy cheap and sell high. This is different from the first one because we are no longer talking about buying 50 units of the same item. by this  I mean go thrifting, go search Kijiji, even search stores and see what may have potential. Potential meaning potential to fix it up and sell it higher, or potential meaning that it looks valuable. If you have some artistic or handy skills though you can buy furniture or clothing, modify it a little, make it nice, clean it up, paint it, and resell it for more.
