9 Ways To Boost Your Income
You may remember from a past column how to get cash for your books at Cash4Books.net. Let's review: Just type in the book's ISBN number (on the back cover or on the copyright page in the front), and see if you can get cash. Complete the transaction online, print out a prepaid mailing label, pack up those books and send them in. In just a few days you'll either receive a check in the mail or a deposit to your PayPal account. Once you've run out of likely candidates from your own shelves, scour garage sales and thrift shops. If you've got an Internet-enabled PDA, you can look up books at Cash4Books.net/mobile as you shop.
Caution: While you might hit the jackpot at a garage or estate sale, keep in mind there are condition requirements, so get familiar with them before you head out.
The Boost: You could easily find that Cash4Books.net is offering $5.25 for a book you can buy for a quarter.

Making extra money without getting a second job
Sell your extra books. I'm a book fiend, a book addict, a book enthusiast. My family has come close to staging interventions for me over my first-edition addiction, but I culled through my collection and made about $200 selling some of them to Cash4Books instead. Cash4Books accepts audiobooks and text books as well as softcovers and hardback tomes, and they even pay shipping -- type in the ISBN (above the barcode) to see if they're buying what you want to sell.

Learn How To Trade In Your Old Books For Cash
We decided to give it a try, taking a stack of old books we found lying around. Within minutes, we had just over $14. One note of caution: the site won't take every book. We had one paperback in our pile that they were not interested in buying.... A portion of the company's profits are funneled back into classroom projects.

Your Used Books Can Generate Cash
A lot of people have books sitting around the house, gathering dust. If you're not going to read them again why not make some money off them? It's just another way CBS 2's Anne State found to "stretch your dollar."
Take a tour of Kameran Austermann's home and you will find books – here, there and everywhere. It's a problem. "We just don't have a lot of room to keep the books," she said. Kameran's mom told her about a Website called "Cash 4 Books." The site buys used books. Kameran said it's easy: She sits at her computer, enters the code on the back of the books and the Website tells her how much they're worth. "I sold 17 books and I think I got just over $40," she said. Kameran says she doesn't have to pay for shipping. She just prints out a mailing label, boxes up the books and heads to the post office. "It's tough economic times, and I think it's a great way to kind of clean out your closets and recycle your books and put a little money in your pocket," she said.

Online book store
One of the big advantages of selling your books through Cash4Books.net is that they pay for you to ship the books to them.
You go to their website, type in the ISBN number on the back of the book above the barcode, and the company will quickly let you know if they are buying that book and at what price. You print a packing list, and a mailing label. The company pays for the shipping.
