Are golf balls white gold?

If you want to make money selling used golf balls, EBAY is the best and easiest way to do it. First you need to sign up to EBAY which is free. Selling used golf balls is a big business and you can make good money doing it if you know how:

It helps if you live close to a golf course, or at least have one within a short driving distance. You don't want to spend more on transportation than you earn selling.

If you have access to an actively played course, be sure to get permission from the owner of the course before you begin your search. Consider getting a written statement just to be on the safe side.

An easy way to collect the balls quickly is to use a golf ball retriever.

Here is a link for amazon, you should be able to find a good one here. Try to find one that will bring in more than just one ball at a time as you will want to do that. The faster you can collect, the better.



In many pro golf shops, you can find a bowl with used golf balls for sale on the counter. They sell in most pro shops for between $0.50 - $1 per ball depending on condition. Which would be a good price to go with. Maybe even a little lower so you can maximize your sales.

Be sure to clean them really good before putting them up for sale. Nobody wants to buy dirty and grimy used golf balls.



It takes a lot of time and work but if you stick with it and make your business known, you can make good money doing this.

If you look on Ebay you will find many auctions for used balls. Those auctions are usually for groups (lots) of balls and many times they are separated by ball conditions or company brand. In order to get the most money consider separating all your balls into three groups. Group 1 being the best balls that are almost new, group 2 being balls that have some wear but are still playable, and group 3 being for balls that are shag balls (balls that people use for practice).

Further sort group 1 into smaller groups by brand for selling on Ebay. The most expensive balls in the best condition can often bring about a dollar a ball so consider waiting until you get 24 or 36 per group and put them up as a “lot”. The remaining good balls would be put up as lots as well but they might have multiple brands within the lots.

Good luck, and I wish you much success. All comments are welcome.

Become an affiliate:

Another great way to earn some money is affiliate programs.

In order to be an affiliate for any website, you need to have access to the Internet and have your own website/web page set up. Having a website with a lot of traffic will be the best way to see good cash flow.

Lots of traffic = $$$.

But in order to get a lot of traffic to your site you need to advertise all over the web. I would not recommend social networks as it would violate the TOS (terms of service) on most of them and/or your site could just be marked as spam. And you would just be wasting your time. That's what happened to me, so please just accept the warning it will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Here is one really good affiliate program:

Just copy and paste the above link to your web browser if you cannot click on it.

I will update this post as soon as I find more good affiliate programs.
If you know of any others, please let me know so I can check them out and if they check out as legit opportunities I can add them to the list, Thank you.

Hold a yard sale:

How much money can you raise at a yard sale?

It depends - on what you have to sell, where you are selling, the weather, advertising, the competition. The real answer is that you just never know and that this isn't money you can count on.

That said, if you have furniture, electronics, children's items, sports equipment, jewelry, collectibles (in other words, the usual hodgepodge of clutter that most of us once thought we needed to buy) then a yard sale may help you raise some money fast.

A few tips:

1. Be realistic. If you are selling an item in almost new condition, don't expect to recoup much more than 25% of the original retail price, less if it shows wear and tear. If the item is actually what dealers call, "mint in box," then you might see 50% but consider any offer.

2. You can reduce advertising costs and increase traffic to your sale by running a multifamily or block sale. Make sure to run ads in local newspapers, and if your town allows, post signs. Specify big ticket items in your ad (child's bedroom set, water skis) but include enough broad categories to attract the general yard sale shopper.

3. Check with your town or city hall to see whether you need a permit.

4. Price in advance, open early, have small bills and change available, and if you can handle it, let the early birds shop. Consider cutting your prices in the last hour(s) of the sale.

5. Enjoy yourself. Make it pleasant for people to buy from you. If an offer seems too low by all means counter-offer but don't be offended.

Start your own part-time/full-time business from home:

If you want to start a business, you don't have to invest much money to make money. Sometimes you can start a business with next to nothing.

Many large companies started out as nothing more that a small at home part-time job.

One idea would be to try car detailing, an idea my brother has been kicking around.

If all you charged was $10 per car and detailed two cars per hour. That would be
$20/hour, not bad for starting out.

In addition, if you had help you could get a lot more done in a smaller amount of time.

You might also consider hiring yourself out as a dog walker, errand runner, driver, computer consultant, or any number of things.
