Holiday Coupons!

With the holiday's looming over us, we are all sure to be getting an influx of coupons in our mailbox and our inbox. Do not ignore all those emailed codes. Some of those may be user specific. It never hurts to post them for sale on eBay, especially since everyone may not be on each companies email list. Shipping can be free because you can simply e-mail the code to the buyer.

All those coupons coming in for holiday items that you don't need may be the answer to someone else's holiday shopping needs as well. Don't forget that multiple's are king so ask your neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers for their junk mail cast offs!

Happy Clipping!

Article on Junk Mail Coupons

This is an article that I wrote for Yahoo! about making money off of all the junk mail coupons that come in the mail. If you want to "test the waters" without a time commitment this can be a good place to start.

Creating this Blog

Throughout the process of creating this blog, I learned how to insert links to other content. I have created a few blogs before and actually named this one several months ago and never had the time to fill in content. I have never really used Twitter before and never created a wiki so those were new experiences for me. I learned that I can really post any content that I want to a blog. Since I have been writing for a publishing content on Yahoo! I think that I should start to keep a blog going that chronicles my expereinces with some of the topics that I write about. Since I see now that blogging is actually very easy I think it is something that I will use more in both my personal and professional life.

Find a Niche

If you are going to sell coupons you need to find you niche. If you try to sell all types of coupons then you can easily overwhelm yourself. Whether it is grocery and household items, baby items, resturant, or clothing coupons by finding your area of expertise.

Then you have to decide where to sell. You can set up or own web site or you can sell certain types of items on eBay. eBay can also be a great source of ideas as well. If you are thinking about selling certain types of coupons search for them on eBay and see if anyone else is selling them and what the prices are looking like to see if it is worth it to you.

Welcome

Welcome to my Coupon Class blog. I have been using coupons for about 6 years now, so well before the explosion of TLC's Extreme Couponing show. However, the form that I use coupons for is relatively different. Because there are not stores in my area that offer generous coupons, or double and tripling I have found that rather than use coupons to buy items at the store, it actually helps my wallet more to operate a kind of coupon clip service. There are tons of articles available out there to offer tips and rules about couponing as a shopper, I think we all now know that you can combine a store and manufacturer coupon on the same item. Here are tips that I have found (or figured out by trial and error) to run a small scale but highly profitable coupon clip service.
