Before we became the clued up individuals we are today when it came to earning money online what silly and stupid things have you either sunk money into or spend time doing with very little to no return.
Ones on my list would have to be
- Paying £30! for access to a drop shipping company which had purely the WORST selection of items to sell ever known to man. At that point I realised what a confest Drop shipping is as all it gives you access to is nothing you couldn't already do yourself
- Paying £40 for a box of women's hot pants that I thought I could sell on eBay at a profit. They were AWFUL quality and all in bright colours. Couldn't sell any of them.
- Paying £50 for a box load of socks from Germany (Why Germany? No Idea!) which I thought I could sell in pairs on ebay! - Couldn't sell them and ended up giving them to my Mum who was a school teach to put in the spare PE kit box!.
- Started out on PPH and just wanted a 'gig' so pitched myself very very low. Ended up spending 3 weeks writing 2000 words of content every day for 3 weeks for £40!!!
- Answering questions for ChaCha when they were in the UK for 3p a question
- Selling PS3 Game save files on eBay. These were little files you could put onto your PS3 to say unlock all the cars in a racing game. I sold them for £1.99 each, would just email the buyer the file. Made about £50 a week from them. Then it went wrong and kids thought they were getting a whole game for £1.99 not just a file. Their parents complained via eBay and to this day I am still banned from selling on there.
