Everyone needs a little money every now and then. The first thing that comes to mind is selling things. Let's have a yard sale, 20 tips to help your sale bring in more sales and be very productive:
1. Pick the right date.
-Near common paydays (1st & 15th)

2. Shop your house for items to sell.
Walk through every room.
3. Give at least two weeks before the
sale to pull and clean items.
4. Arrange like items.
-organize according to function
(kitchen, clothing, books, music, etc
5. Tag everything!
6. Gear up. Be prepared: have ready a
tape measure, yard stick, calculator,
batteries, adn extension cords.
7. Be an attention grabber. Make your
signs BIG, BOLD, AND EASY TO READ.

them at cross streets, grocery stores,
