alright in this video we are gonna help you take these if you have any of these
laying around your house and turn them into this
if that's something that interest you
stick with us and we're gonna dive right in
alright so how do you do this you might ask well here's we do
let's do it first you grab your phone here this my phone it actually has a little microphone in here
this is how you you're hearing but what we're going to do is use it a little bit differently
so to get this process started what I did was I
just began selling off all of my books and so I had a whole bunch of books I
had I think 4 to 500 different books that I'd gathered over the years and it
really just wasn't going back and reading them so I figured I'm just going
to get rid of all of them other than the ones that I absolutely love and I go
back to regularly and this process could be really messy and not lucrative but I
found a way to do it to make it really quick and easy and help you maximize the
amount of money that you can make from your books
alright so now first thing you want to do is just go open the app store so just
go over here and when you get this popped open you can just go ahead and
hit the search box search for an app called Book Scouter it is we're gonna
install this app give that a minute to install and then click open alright now
that you over at the Book Scouter app this app what it allows you to do is
quickly find out for each of your books how much money you're gonna be able to
sell it for so what you can do is you can take the book and you can actually
type in the ISBN number which it's a long probably I don't know 12 digit
number or something on the back of the book or you can just grab the scan
barcode thing and then just quickly scan through all your books so you can go
through a whole bunch of books we're really really fast with this alright so
we will just grab our book flip over to the back side of it and just scan that
barcode alright now what you will see is all the different companies who are
willing to buy this book back and how much they're willing to pay and so
you'll see that you know it ranges from 550 all the way down to a bunch of these
companies don't want to buy it at all and to simplify this process the way I
did was I found a handful these companies who wanted to buy the book
back and I sent books only to a few of them I
think it was three or four different companies and for each of these
companies basically the way it works is you just fill up a big box of all of
these books that they've given you a quote for and then they pay for shipping
you just print off the shipping label mail the box back to them and then they
send you a check so it's not like you have to mail individual books to 25
different companies that's not a win for anybody so what I would do is just kind
of come here and then just click sell and then it'll add the book over to your
cart at this company and then you just come back over here to Book Scouter do a
new search and then we can just look up another book and we'll just go ahead and
tap scan barcode and something when you're looking at these barcodes you'll
notice here there are two different ones there and what you want to do is just
get the one on the left the one that's the actual ISBN sometimes the app has a
problem if you're scanning the whole thing so in this case this book yes this
book just does not look like it's worth much money so it's only worth 12 cents
so if I was sending something back to sell your book back or that company
there I would throw it in the box but I you know it's only 12 cents so I'm not
gonna read too much into that and you'll find that you'll find that some of the
books are just not worth anything and other ones are and so here's another
book we'll just scan- scan the barcode
and then here's another one for sell back your book so I'll just add that to
the cart there and then it'll just continue adding up all the ones you
added and then once you kind of get everything of value in there then you
can go to those companies that you've kind of added some to the cart you can
print off the shipping label with them and each one of them has is slightly
different but you can kind of print off the shipping label and then just ship it
off and then get paid not too bad so when I did this I ended up making about
a hundred and seventy nine dollars for all the books that I sold back to these
companies and and then all the rest I just took over to Goodwill and drop them
off over there all right so that's it one simple app you take a few minutes
scan the books you send them off and you get paid pretty simple way to kind of
turn your books into cash don't you think and a bonus tip here like you can
go to garage sales you could go to like goodwill and take that
app and just go in there like you go into Goodwill and pay a quarter for a
book they might be able to sell for five bucks I mean that's not a bad way to
make some extra cash as well so in this channel we help you make more money we
