Want a side hustle that actually works? Imagine earning an extra thousand dollars every week just by picking up free stuff and reselling it. All you need is your truck, a little hustle, and a free app. Let’s dive straight into it.
What You Need
- A truck or large SUV
- A smartphone
- Freebie Alerts app (available free on Apple App Store and Google Play Store)
- Basic cleaning supplies (vacuum, steam cleaner, tools)
Meet Freebie Alerts
Freebie Alerts is a powerful app designed to help you find valuable, free items right in your neighborhood:
- Mattresses
- Sofas
- Dining tables
- Washing machines
- Refrigerators
- Chairs and other furniture
People list these items for free just to get rid of them quickly. That’s where your opportunity begins.
How This Hustle Works
Here’s the simple formula:
- Find: Use the Freebie Alerts app to locate free items nearby.
- Pickup: Collect items swiftly using your truck.
- Refresh: Perform minor cleaning or repairs.
- Resell: List the items on marketplaces like Facebook, OfferUp, eBay, or local flea markets.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: Install Freebie Alerts
Download Freebie Alerts from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Setup takes less than two minutes.
Step 2: Locate Free Items
- Enable app notifications to stay ahead of competition.
- Check frequently—good items go fast!
- Focus on furniture, appliances, and household items.
Step 3: Pick Up Items
- Move quickly—good stuff rarely lasts.
- Confirm item availability via messaging.
- Load items carefully; bring help for large or heavy pieces.
Step 4: Clean and Repair
- Vacuum or steam mattresses and sofas.
- Tighten screws and legs on tables and chairs.
- Wipe down appliances, checking they function properly.
Step 5: Photograph and List
- Take clear, bright photos from multiple angles.
- Write concise, accurate descriptions.
- List quickly on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, eBay, or prepare for weekend flea markets.
Pricing Strategy
- Check similar items on selling platforms.
- Price slightly below average to ensure quick sales.
- Use clear pricing like $99 instead of $100—it feels cheaper.
Realistic Weekly Income
You’ll realistically flip 2–4 items weekly. Here’s an average breakdown:
- Sofa: Pickup free, sell for $200–$350
- Mattress/bed frame: Pickup free, sell for $150–$300
- Appliances: Pickup free, sell for $100–$250
Selling 3–4 items per week easily puts you between $700–$1,000.
