Blue Ridge Coupons: Tips for Earning Money Online Right from Home

There are many ways that you can potentially earn money from home. One of the first steps is to create a blog or website so that you can place links on it. If you own a Twitter or Facebook account, get some followers so you can drive traffic to your site!

Sell Textbooks and Other Books

There are several online stores that will allow you to enter an ISBN of a book and instantly will inform you of their ability to accept it for resale. Many will even pay for the shipping cost for you to send them the books. This is especially convenient if you don't want to be caught by surprise with a sale you make on Ebay, Amazon, or Half.com. I'm not the most organized person when it comes to shipping books at the Post Office when things get hectic.

In addition to selling books you own, many will offer you PayPal credit or direct deposit if you refer new members.
