There are many ways a stay at home mom can supplement their income by using craigslist.org. From selling items, to promoting an affiliate marketing program, to offering classes for sale, you can make money on craigslist.org if you set your mind to it and think “outside the box”.

1. The first way you can make money on craigslist is by selling unwanted items. Being that you are a stay at home mom I am sure you have a giant chest full of toys your child or children no longer play with. I am also sure you have a drawer or two full of clothes your children no longer wear. Kids grow so fast that 9 times out of 10 their “old” clothes are still in relatively good condition which makes them worth selling. Simply go through your house and find things that you no longer want or need. Take really good photos of your items, write a great ad, and try to promote the links to your ads. This way people will know that you have items to sell. The best thing about this is the ads are free and it takes very little time to set them up. Not only will this put some cash in your bank account, it may return much needed closet space to you as well.
2. Another way is to promote any affiliate products or business that you may have. You can put up samples and inventory for sale on craigslist. Many women sell Avon, Mary Kay, Usborne Books, Discovery Toys, Shaklee, Amway, etc. You can post notices of meetings for potential new recruits or you can sell discontinued items or just post ads for regular inventory sales. No matter how you look at it, craigslist can help you increase sales and possibly expand your “downline”. If you are not involved in any of those programs you can go to sites such as cj.com, linkshare.com, clickbank.com or paydotcom.com and sign up as a affiliate and start promoting different products. You will get a commission on each sale that comes as a result of someone clicking on your affiliate link.
3. The third way you can start making money is by offering classes, tutoring or babysitting services on craigslist. Most moms can babysit.

When you already have a home jewelry business or are selling some of your favorite jewelry creations online, starting a “Jewelry of the Month” club is another great way to profit from your jewelry business. Once it is set up, all you have to do is market, market, market.

Instructions

1. Decide on a price for members to join. Think of some free incentives that would be beneficial for members to try before actually paying the club price. You could start out with a free piece of jewelry for the first month, and then after that, only $9.99/month, for example.
2. Decide if you will offer your customers custom pieces of jewelry each month such as jewelry that is created in their favorite colors or styles. This would work for those who have a small list of current clients. But for those who have large businesses, it is best to keep it simple. Decide if you will offer bracelets one month, or earrings another.
3. Design flyers and business cards to include with your current jewelry orders. Let your present customers know about your new club and how they can join your cool new jewelry club. The main first steps in beginning your Jewelry of the Month club is to market it as much as you can.
4. Advertise your Jewelry of the Month Club on your website. Include any current pictures of recently created jewelry, and then have some information about your jewelry club listed. Include the price per month, any free gifts, and then how often they will recieve their jewelry, and what kinds of pieces of jewelry your customers can expect to get.
5. Email everybody you know, and all of your customers/clients on your mailing list. Spread the word about your club, and let them know how they can recieve a piece of jewelry created by you, every single month.
6. After you have emailed everybody on your mailing list, send out postcards and flyers to all of your customers and friends too. During any home jewelry parties that you may have, make sure you let everybody know about your special new club too.
7. Ask any of your current clients or friends and family members to try out your club so that you can have some feedback about your club. Some people may be a bit unwilling to try out a new club without hearing other’s opinions or reviews on it.
