Hustle of the Week: Craigslist to Facebook Arbitrage

The $1K/month system no one runs because they’re lazy

Most people think flipping is for broke kids. They’re wrong. This model uses free inventory, no startup capital, and pure information asymmetry.

Step-by-step:

1. Set Alerts in Craigslist’s “Free” Section
   Use IFTTT or an RSS reader to get notified instantly when a new free item is posted. Focus on: couches, desks, bookshelves, mini fridges.

2. Verify Market Demand Before Pickup
   Go to Facebook Marketplace. Search for the item. If it’s listed multiple times with recent comments or “interested” messages, it’s worth flipping.

3. List It Before You Even Pick It Up
   Take the original Craigslist photo. List it on FB with a markup and same-day pickup language. If someone commits, you now get paid to pick it up.

4. Outsource Delivery (Upsell It Too)
   Partner with someone on TaskRabbit who has a truck. Offer $40 per job. Charge the buyer $60. You pocket $20 and never lift a finger.

Run it 3x/week. You’re at $800–$1,200/month in pure margin.
No inventory, no overhead, just a willingness to move when others won’t.

Money Play: Airbnb Arbitrage Without Owning Anything

Used correctly, this is a $2K/month model disguised as a lease

Real guys in Brickell, Edgewater, and Wynwood are pocketing more from a rental than people with degrees.

How it works:

1. Find Class A Buildings with High Vacancy
   Newer buildings want to fill empty units fast. Offer to lease with terms that allow subletting under “corporate rentals.”

2. Furnish Fast and Cheap
   Use Amazon, IKEA, and FB Marketplace. Think neutral tones, LED lighting, fake plants. Pay $150–$200 for pro photography. It pays for itself in week one.

3. List on Airbnb with Dynamic Pricing
   Use PriceLabs or Wheelhouse to automate nightly rates. Price 15% above comps.
   Tip: Always charge a cleaning fee, even if you do it yourself.

4. Cash Flow Example – 1BR in Edgewater

   • Rent: $2,600/month

   • Avg Airbnb rate: $225/night

   • 20 nights booked: $4,500 revenue

   • After costs: ~$1,700–$2,000/month profit

This is a legitimate cash machine if you can deal with mild stress, guest questions, and landlord emails.

Quote That Hits Different

“Comfort is a drug. It feels good, but in the end, it kills you.”

Read that again. If your daily routine hasn’t changed in three months, neither has your income.

Tactical Lead Gen Play: The “$0 Client Funnel”

How to get local business clients with no ads, website, or cold calls

The Setup:

1. Go to Google Maps

2. Type in “barber,” “dentist,” “lash tech,” “med spa” — pick your niche

3. Filter by 3.0 to 4.3 stars

4. Grab their number or email

5. Send this cold message:

What you’ll do:

• Send their past clients a review request by SMS or email

• Help them get 15–30 new 5-star reviews fast

• Then upsell them on $200–500/month to keep it going

It’s easy to run, impossible for them to replicate without you, and recurring.

Final Note

Reading this doesn’t make you better. Execution does.

Nobody cares that you “know” about flipping, arbitrage, or client acquisition.
The market only respects the guy with the receipts.

Stop saving ideas. Start stacking income streams.
