With the rising fad of extreme couponing, I've been thinking about how to monetize this skill beyond buying the goods and reselling them. Chances are, it is not practical to keep fifty boxes of cereal in your inventory. Do you think it is possible to be a coupon collector, then sell your coupons for a fraction of the price to buyers who do not have the time and energy to go through the process themselves? Or have a network of shoppers who are committed to buying your goods at a fraction of cost, so they do not have to deal with the large volume of goods themselves?
Why not browse the internet for products that teach other's how to coupon? Then become an affiliate and sell the product and make money that way. Clickbank I am sure has a few.
Here is a thought that I am going to share on this subject. It may be Greek to many. I don't cut coupons. I don't use them. I don't look for them. I am a law of attraction girl. If I am looking for coupons and discount all the time, I sort of think I am going to attract a discounted type of life. I also think it keeps my mind focused on saving and in the "not enough" mindset. This keeps abundance from manifesting into my life in my opinion. I even had a Squidoo lens on the topic of happy living on a dollar store budget. I deleted it and sure enough, my income expanded. Coincidence? I think not.
I belong to a couponing forum, and I have learned from there that many folks use clipping services to get coupons. You may want to research them and see how they work. There are couponers who stockpile non perishable items (and yes, lots of cereal, haha). Maybe look into teaching people how to organize their coupons and stockpiles? I know many do not have the time to do the research and get their coupons organized, so maybe from that angle? Many people there rely on coupons and sales to keep their heads abouve water. I am just brainstorming here, but working as a shopper, or helping to organize may be the way to go [Post edited. No all bold please - Admin]
