Thanks to new tools and apps, turning your clutter into cash gets easier than ever

Selling your stuff requires little more than a quality photo and a professionally worded post.

Diana Blinkhorn authors the Gray Ruby Diaries blog and works as a stay at home of three little girls. She showed us how she turns her clutter into cash. A kids’ play tower used by all three of her daughters sold for $75 (£58).

Blinkhorn’s go-to for selling her old belongings: Facebook Marketplace. She’s used the site to sell everything from odd chairs to paintings and toys. You can use the platform to advertise in your immediate area or neighbourhood.
