1\. Buy and flip.
-----------------

Even the poorest of us has $500 to $5,000 of crap sitting in our closets. Those unwanted toys— the jacket you no longer wear, shoes that are out of style, or that old hammer—$7.99 on [eBay](https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/ebay) is better than zero. That’s how you start building your capital.

Find out what things are worth. Research the hell out of it. Devour completed auctions on eBay to know the value. Become an expert in that category. Then, once you know your products, know the markets. Buy on Craigslist and sell on eBay. Buy some old T-shirts on eBay, and turn them around as trendy vintage tees on [Etsy](https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/etsy). Buy at Goodwill or a yard sale, and flip on Facebook Marketplace.
