030: Flip of the Week: Making $550 Dollars Flipping A Keyboard... While Lying In Bed On My Phone...

7/16/2020
See pictures and details of this flip here: https://www.theflippingninja.com/roland-keyboard-package/ 030: Flip of the Week: "$550 Dollars… While Lying In Bed On My Phone... Fast Money From The Comfort Of My Own Home”... Roland RD-300S Digital Piano Package + Amps + Extras Flipping Ninja Deep Dive “$550 Dollars… While Lying In Bed On My Phone... Fast Money From The Comfort Of My Own Home” Flipping Keyboards changed my life forever. I don’t think anyone loves flipping keyboards more than yours truly. The best decision I ever made in my life was accidentally flipping my first keyboard over a decade ago and making a measly $20 bucks on it. Even to this day, anytime I flip a keyboard, it takes me back to my roots. The early days when this cat was just starting. So what’s the difference between back then and today? Well… this week’s Flip of the Week I made $550 on one keyboard flip... All while lying in bed browsing Craigslist from my phone. Pay attention, because this flip has a lot to offer. Let’s dive in. I came across this ad on Craigslist. Someone was selling their Roland keyboard PLUS 2 amps for $300. “Roland Electric Keyboard RD-300S & Two Crate Amplifiers Amps KX-50” Here’s a screenshot to their Craigslist ad and pictures: Pretty basic. Not bad. But not the best either. And definitely not up to par with The Flipping Ninja’s standards. When I sell something, I wanna make the most amount of money on it in the least amount of time. How do we do that? What’s the first thing you notice about this ad? Well... I don’t know about you... But their picture sucks balls. Super basic and barely shows the keyboard in its full glory. Not to mention, this deal comes with TWO FRIGGIN AMPS!!! And they’re totally just low key hiding in the background. So 2 things so far... Sucky Thing #1: The keyboard pic itself sucks (especially as the ad’s display pic) Sucky Thing #2: The amps are hard to see/barely visible unless you’re looking up close. Not good. Oh and to add salt to the wound... sucky thing #1 & sucky thing #2 from above combined into 1 photo... AND IT’S THE MAIN DISPLAY PIC USED IN THE AD! I could go on and on… But here’s what you need to know right now… Photos are EVERYTHING when it comes to making money flipping things. Taking photos that sell is both an art and a science. It’s a skill that’s learnable. And it’s one of the pillars I teach when it comes to making money flipping things. But don’t worry… the fact that this ad has crappy photos is a GOOD thing. That’s because YOU (and I) can snag the item, simply take better pics, and by just that alone make MORE money. Yup. Learning how to take photos that sell will multiply your profits… Moving on... The ad description: I mean not bad… But not good. Just basic. Could be better. When it comes to ad descriptions when you’re selling or flipping stuff -- it boils down to this: The words you use in your ad description can make the difference between getting $300 on an item… and getting $850 on that same item. I went and picked up this keyboard package for $300 as fast as I could. I took it home, took killer pics of everything (I mean pictures that really sell… things like showing the item in its full glory, really positioning it as a PACKAGE). See, thing is if I was JUST selling a keyboard, that’d be one thing. But if I was selling a keyboard, 2 amps, a stand, a wheel bag, and whatever else with comes with… now it becomes a PACKAGE. So there’s a golden lesson for you on writing ads that sell: Simply adding the word “PACKAGE” can allow you to increase your asking price, AND sell the item faster (everyone wants PACKAGES… a “PACKAGE DEAL”... a “FULL PACKAGE”... etc.) Heck even in dating… You don’t want someone with just one or two cool things about them… You want the FULL PACKAGE!!! Same thing applies here when crafting your ads, and sellin’ stuff. People like packages. So back to the flip, here’s what happened: Didn’t even leave my bed...

028: Flip of the Week: Harden Furniture Chair - How I Made $270 Flipping A Chair

7/10/2020
See pictures and details of this flip here: https://www.theflippingninja.com/flip-of-the-week-harden-furniture-custom-made-sophisticated-striped-accent-chair/ Flipping a Harden Furniture Custom Made Sophisticated Striped Accent Chair and making $270 in 45 minutes Flipping Ninja Deep Dive “A Valuable Flip” This was a solid and profitable flip. This chair had just came out onto the floor at Salvation Army, and it immediately caught my eye. It hadn’t even been priced yet -- so I asked the folks there to price it so I can buy it! Pretty much everyone at every thrift store knows me and always hooks it up, because I buy so much quantity and always clear out their floors, lol. As soon as it was priced, I purchased it. Just $30 bucks! Flipping furniture has always been one of my favorite things to flip -- and there’s a good reason why. They’re cheap at thrift stores, and you can sell them for A LOT. The key is to stage them and create a powerful picture in people’s minds; both visually and by your words that you use in your ad description. This involves researching the item itself, AND its brand. In this case, it was by a company called Harden Furniture, and their chairs easily go for $600+ new. Crazy, huh? So the key in flipping this chair at a $300 price point was to really make sure you are communicating that in your ad description. I let people know, look, this chair isn’t your basic run of the mill chair. Not only is it by a higher end brand, but it’s built solidly, and definitely has a unique and interesting look. Lessons Learned? Flipping chairs will almost always be profitable - and very worth it. The key is in how you take your PHOTOS and write your AD DESCRIPTION. Knowing how to really create a feeling and picture in people’s minds. That’s the only way to command maximum dollar for it -- and sell them fast. It’s critical you learn this. It’s an art and science. I definitely like flipping furniture here in my market as it's a huge money maker. But if you don't have the right transportation (and sometimes muscle) to do it, or if simply not possible), you may want to stick to flipping smaller items you can carry/manage. I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t need to do as much research on items - I can make buying decisions in seconds and usually know what I can make on an item right away. Nevertheless, it’s still good to Google the item’s brand followed by what it is (in this example you’d Google: “harden furniture chair”). Get a quick feel for its value. It’s nice having a general idea of how much you’ll make on the item. For example, some chairs cost $100, but others can be as high as $1,000 chairs (we’re talking premium, luxury furniture now). So spending the time to quickly research the item gives you a nice dopamine hit :) Time Spent? I only spent about 10-15 minutes at the thrift store when I saw this and bought it. Took it home, took pics, enhanced them, crafted a solid ad description, and posted it on all selling channels: ~30 minutes Sold in less than a week. I earned $270 in about 45 minutes. Overall Rating: Rating Criteria Profit: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’d spend 45 minutes making $270 any day of the week! Solid flip, profit-wise. Transport:⭐⭐⭐⭐ I thought about giving this 5 stars, because I have an SUV and it was pretty easy transporting it. Not too heavy and was definitely manageable. But… it’s still something that had to be lifted, put into the SUV, taken out, taken inside, navigated through the door, and so forth. But I’m being critical -- wasn’t a big deal at all. However, if you don’t have an SUV, you would have to figure something out or pass on it. Time Spent: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was fast. Hit up a thrift store, in and out in 15 minutes. Took it home, took pics, crafted an ad, posted. All done in less than an hour. 5 stars. OVERALL: 4.6/5 Overall I'd give it a 4.6/5 considering these factors: Time Spent (45 minutes)Transporting It (easy to transport in my SUV)Profit was worth it to me ($270 in...

4/4/2020
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be worrying how you can possibly make money during such a time. The Coronavirus has not only brought damaging health risks but has also crippled the U.S. economy. With businesses closing left and right (including thrift stores, pawn shops, flea markets, etc!), workers being laid off or having reduced hours, many Americans are wondering how they are going to survive this pandemic financially. Maybe you're wondering things like: - “How am I going to make money during the Coronavirus?” - "Can I still make money flipping things during all this?" The Flipping Ninja responds to this, starting in part one of a series, on how to make fast cash during this frightening time. He shares what you need to know to make it possible! Starting out the series, the focus is on taking care of yourself and finding a new perspective. If you have been looking for a side hustle in this uncertain time, or if your business has been affected by the COVID-19, this is the series for you. On This Week’s Episode You’ll Discover: Intro [0:01] Coronavirus, Quarantines, Oh My! [1:16] Positioning You for Success [2:02] Take Care of Yourself [4:15] Recreating Yourself [8:02] Are You Responsive to Change? [16:55] Forced to Slow Down [24:36] Routines and Habits [26:02] Pattern Interrupt [28:51] Stopping to See the Good [35:02] Navigating Back into The World of Flipping [41:25] New Perspective [42:43] Now is the Time [45:08] Learn the Rules of the Game [47:35] Closing Thoughts [52:52] Outro [54:03] Quotes: Charles Darwin | “It is not the strongest species that survives nor the most intelligent. But rather, the most responsive to change.” "So don't look at what's happening right now, as something negative or a setback. Look at it as a "Now is the time to become who I was always meant to be." "Time has slowed down. Your perception of time has changed because of what's going on. Before you lived in this fast-paced world of 'gotta be there on time. Gotta do this. Got to do that. Gotta go to work. Can't be late.' It was hectic. It's like you didn't have enough time to do everything you wanted to, right? Nobody did. The world was so fast-paced. But now because you're literally forced -- you're forced -- to recreate yourself and your life again." "Develop those skills, develop clarity, shape and recreate yourself. Don't be anchored or attached to some previous identity, routine, or concept you've had of yourself from before. Don't be emotionally attached to the old." "Whatever sense of identity, goals, or the person you were before all of this -- the person you were when everything was normal -- you have to let go of that person. I don't mean completely let go of who you were. What I mean is if you had a certain roadmap in your mind or goals or plans or whatever it was or you were attached to, a certain concept of yourself or identity from when things were normal before, you have to let those things go. Detach from them because things will not go back to how they were before. We're in a different environment right now." "Here's the deal. You say, well A.J., I don't have any money. Why should I invest in myself? Because you don't have any money! That's why! Right? You say A.J., I don't have 10 minutes to meditate, what should I do? I say you should meditate for an hour! Is this making sense? Now is the time." "The person you were in the previous environment before all this happened -- that person will not be able to carry out what you were planning on carrying out in right now's environment. Does that make sense? Right now's environment is completely different, totally different. Your strategies are going to have to change. You're going to have to change. You're going to have to make major changes on the inside. OK, so a big theme that has been coming up for me personally is the idea of re-creating yourself." "Now is your time to focus on all those things that you couldn't before, you didn't...
