Are you searching for ways to make #money in these challenging times? Finding #hidden financial opportunities is even harder with the COVID-19 pandemic presenting challenges. We’ll show you how to make money from unused items.

Tip 1: Unclaimed Funds in Your State

Every state has unclaimed property/funds waiting to be claimed – take advantage of it. Conduct an online search by typing “Unclaimed Property in (STATE) NY or PA/FL/CA/HI,” depending on your location. Websites such as Missingmoney.com and Unclaimed.org can provide valuable information. Remember to search using your maiden and married names, and consider omitting the state to broaden your search. Keep in mind that you may discover unexpected funds, so explore thoroughly. Once you make a claim, follow the instructions and provide the documentation to prove your identity.

Important Note: Beware of scams! Avoid responding to letters asking for payment to access your unclaimed funds. The search process is free, and you can handle it yourself. Some companies charge unnecessary fees, often higher than the funds you recover.

Stay proactive by checking for #unclaimed property/funds every three months. These websites update regularly, so make the most of them and claim what is rightfully yours.

Tip 2: Turn Unused Technology into Cash

If you have old technology, such as laptops, tablets, or cell phones, it’s time to capitalize on their value. Selling these items on platforms like eBay and Amazon can earn you extra money. Research the current market prices to ensure you’re getting a competitive rate before posting. High-quality pictures of the products will attract potential buyers. Remember, even outdated devices often have parts that people are seeking.

Tip 3: Sell Unneeded Items Online

Make money from your closet, accessories, or furniture by listing them online. Be transparent in your item descriptions and include appealing pictures to entice buyers. Remember that if your item is slightly damaged you must put that in the description as you would not want to get banned from sell on any online platform.

Following these tips, you can unlock hidden money waiting to be claimed and transform unused items into valuable assets. Check for unclaimed funds, sell tech, and use online selling platforms.
