This income-generating strategy that I will like to introduce to you is very simple. Making money as a middle man is quite simple.

Someone is always looking for something to buy. Wherever they want to buy a used washing machine, or something else, there are always people who want to buy something.

The good news is there "wants" can put very good money in your wallet if you know what to look for. You can visit websites such craiglist.org, usfeedads.com or any other classified ad site and find out what people want to buy.

More specifically, when looking at these resources, look for ads asking for products that you’re already an affiliate for or that you know you can get an affiliate link for. These can be hard goods, or even digital goods. Ebay.com is a great place to locate items that people want to buy, especially if the items are hard to find.

You can go to ebay.com through your own ebay affiliate link, search for the item or items you’ve found people are looking for. When you locate an item, open notepad on your computer, and then copy the full URL from your address bar to notepad as a text link.

Once you locate an item or several items, you will want to pass along the URL, where you’ve found the item. I suggest cloaking your link using a short URL service, like tinyurl.com or bit.ly, or if you have your own website you can use a simple software such as affiliate defender, so it’s not so long and ugly.

The next thing is to go back to your original source and simply follow the instructions at the website where you found want ad. Contact the person who place the ad, you’ll want to send them a short mail letting them know you’ve seen the item they’re looking for at ebay.

Of course, if you don’t hear back from the buyer you can contact them again to make sure they received your initial email.

You know they already want to buy the item, therefore, there‘s no selling necessary. You’re just referring them to what you have found.

Here’s an example of this method, let say someone wants to buy a used laptop. You’ve done some digging and you located some in your search at ebay. All you need to do is jot the ad poster, a short note similar to the following:

Hello,

I saw your ad for a dell laptop posted on craiglist. Just wanted to let you know I saw some at ebay that you may be interested in. here is where you can view them for yourself to see if any of them fit your needs.

Then here you’ll post your shorten ebay affiliate link that takes the directly to the ebay listings for dell laptop.
