so it's september
apple has not come out with a new iphone
12.
so what are you going to do you're going
to be proactive and you're going to get
ready to sell your cell phone
when that time eventually comes
what's going on guys josh with debts
dollars here where we teach you how to
take side hustles and turn them into
financial freedom
today is a different video typically we
focus this channel on how to be an
amazon
seller successfully but really this
channel is really focused on
turning side hustles into financial
freedom so for this video today i'm
going to show you how you can sell your
cell phone online
whether that be you need to upgrade it
to another cell phone or if you just
have an extra cell phone lying around
you might as well sell it so the first
audience that this video is for today is
for those
people who just want to sell their cell
phone they really have no intention of
making a business out of it per se
and they just really get some cash for
the phone to do something with it
the second audience that this video is
for is really my subscribers
those people who are entrepreneurs at
heart and they're looking for side
hustles to turn into financial freedom
so i'm also going to show you how you
can kind of mold this and flip this into
a business
where you actually go out and you
purchase cell phones and then you flip
them by selling them to
different stores online all right guys
we're going to jump the computer here
and then we are going to get right into
the tutorial all right so i'm going to
show you two different online
marketplaces that you can sell your cell
phone
in just a couple steps it's very simple
and then it really allows you to
select the market that you want to sell
it to the the business that you want to
sell
to so you can get the best deal the
first one that we have here is
gazelle.com
they've been around for some time and it
makes it very simple to buy
smartphones as well as sell your
smartphone so that's what we're gonna do
on the main page once you type in
gazelle.com the video link is in the
description
just click sell smartphone trade in for
cash
this is gonna bring you up to another
page that's going to ask you what type
of phone are you looking to sell
in our case we're going to be looking to
sell our iphone 11 that we have lying
around
or that we want to upgrade and as you
can see this isn't just for cell phones
so you can also get quotes on selling
your macbook or your ipod
they also accept those so go ahead and
click sell iphone
and now it's going to ask us what model
of iphone do we have
and as i mentioned before we're going to
be selling our iphone 11
and then it's going to ask your carrier
so did you go ahead and did you buy this
from verizon from sprint
um or is this a factory unlocked cell
phone that doesn't belong to a carrier
if you're unsure more than likely it's
whoever your cell phone carrier is
for us we have verizon it's not gonna
make a huge amount of difference
it's going to ask us the amount of
storage that we have on our phone
this should be on the box that you
bought that product with if you don't
have that again go to your general
settings
and go to your storage and it's going to
tell you exactly how many gigabytes of
storage that you have
for us we have the standard 128
gigabytes
and just like that you're going to
receive an offer so they're going to
kind of
toy with you a little bit and they're
going to show you this faded out offer
over here but you got to look down below
where it says
pending upon device inspection they're
gonna ask you a couple more questions
just to determine the condition try to
be realistic on what you put here so if
you have a crack in your screen or
something make sure to identify that
because
you aren't gonna receive that money
until gazelle actually receives your
cell phone
they do their inspection and they match
and pair it up with what you said
so if you have two cracks on your screen
you say nothing's wrong with it there's
no cracks
you aren't going to get that money right
away you're going to wait till after the
inspection
so the the more truthful and more
realistic that you can be right here at
this moment
the quicker the process is going to be
for you so let's answer these questions
does the device power on
yes it does is the device fully
functional and are all parts of the
screen lit up correctly
if you need some more information click
the information button here
it's going to give you an idea what
they're talking about our screen works
fully yes and then are the front and
back free of cracks
so if we did say yes it's going to ask
you what's the overall cosmetic
condition
this is really opinionated so what
they've done for you if you go to the
information
button here it's going to go through all
the different condition examples and
kind of what they look like
so kind of look at your cell phone and
compare it with what these different
conditions are
ours is definitely not poor ours
definitely isn't fair it doesn't have
all these scuffs and cracks
good yeah there may be some key marks on
it from being in your pocket
but if you go to excellent excellent is
basically brand new and there's no
scuffs or anything
i usually error on the safe side and
i'll do good here
so go down here and click light signs of
use now you can see the offer did
decrease a little bit
so if it looked like new and it was that
excellent condition we'd get 346
however it we're gonna get 17 less if it
has the light signs of use
now that is still a pretty good deal now
that is 329 dollars that you're gonna
receive in cash
upon uh the inspection from gazelle and
so at that point you'll get paid and you
can do whatever you want with that money
to finish the process simply click get
paid
enter your email address and they're
gonna send you instructions on how to
ship your cell phone
to their inspection location and then
how you'll eventually get paid
all right so that was the first business
that we could sell our cell phone to
and that's pretty good offer right 329
but let's see if we can do better
now there's this other marketplace
called sell sell and what this is going
to do
is going to it's going to look at over
35 buyback companies and it's going to
get you the best deal
so instead of just going to one company
such as gazelle or going to a bunch of
different individual websites
this is kind of like the expedia for
selling your cell phone
so you just type in the the cell phone
that you have iphone 11
click search and it'll ask you is it a
pro pro max or the regular
we'll click regular it's already saying
that the
the maximum we can get is 556. now this
is based on some
conditions that we won't be able to meet
so we'll have to go in here and click
exactly the three categories that our
phone belongs to so that's verizon
has the 128 gigabytes of storage and
then again before we set the good
condition
now look at this so we had the 329
offer from gazelle but now we look at
all these different
buyback companies that are willing to
give us even more so if we did this top
one here
has a good amount of reviews and you
know looks somewhat trustworthy
i i haven't heard declutter that much
but um it looks like you know it's
somewhat reputable based on this little
statistic that cell cell is providing
you
and then take a look at this middle
category they provide free shipping as
well as free returns
so if you end up shipping your your
iphone there they'll pay for that
shipping
as well as you know if it doesn't meet
the inspection quality that you put here
and it doesn't meet the offer that they
gave you
you know they'll happily return that
phone back to you in the same condition
and look at this payment speed next day
so you can get paid very quickly
i like this offer i mean you might as
well go for the maximum and you're just
trading your phone in and you're
expecting to get cash back
so if we did click get paid sell sell
just like expedia it's going to connect
you to that actual company
and then you can go through the steps
for that buyback company onto
to getting paid and getting your cell
phone to them and just like that now we
have an offer of 522.50 for a cell phone
which is a great deal for a used cell
phone from last year
okay so we covered how to sell your cell
phone online the last thing i want to
discuss with you guys is how to kind of
turn this into a flipping business
how to go out and find cell phones on
craigslist ebay whatever
it may be and then resell them to these
companies with a guaranteed price
so we're going to do is we're going to
start out on craigslist we can also go
to ebay
or even amazon you can find used cell
phones on amazon really any marketplace
that you find credible
as well as that also offers great deals
so on craigslist you go to your local
craigslist and you can type in the phone
that you're looking for
for us we'll look up that iphone 11.
so right off the bat i'm already seeing
a cell phone that looks like it's in
great condition
and they're selling for 500 and it was
the exact same characteristics that we
put in
uh previously to these buyback companies
that we were trying to sell it was
iphone 11 128 gigabytes
and they're asking 500
so yeah it looks like everything's there
really good condition
seems like a good deal so now what i
would do at this point is i would go
ahead and contact this person who listed
it
i don't expect to spend 500 usually when
people put stuff on craigslist it's
usually the higher end that they
that they desire but usually they're
willing to accept a little lower
so let's say that we ended up getting
this down to 425 dollars
in purchasing from from this person we
go back to our offer and we get
dollars and 50 cents so right there you
almost made
100 just from really brokering a deal so
that's 522
50 minus 425 and just like that
you know probably within a day that you
could do this you could
buy this from the person in santa fe and
then you could immediately go to the
buyback company
and get an offer for this cell phone and
just look at that that's 97
and 50 cents that you can make off of
this deal all right that's about it guys
now you know how to take your cell phone
you can quickly convert it into cash by
selling it to one of these buyback
companies
uh that we discussed today you can also
take advantage of this opportunity
and create a side hustle from it as you
saw we could make almost 100
off of just one cell phone now imagine
if we spent
maybe 20 hours a week on this and we
sold 10 cell phones
you know you're already looking at close
to a thousand dollars just from
purchasing cell phones and then selling
them to these buyback companies
it's easy money and it's an easy
opportunity for you to take advantage of
as always thank you guys for watching i
