It’s possible that you may never have thought of making money off of the old auto parts that you have stored in your house or your garage, but there are plenty of ways to make money off of them. If you don’t want to save them in case of emergencies or in case you need spare auto parts for one reason or another, then there are valuable ways to get them off of your hand that don’t require too much work. In fact, many people actually decide to use their old cars as ways to make some money, and here are some methods that will help you make money off of those auto parts in your garage that are only gathering dust from day to day.

Sell to Junk Yards

Even though this method only requires you to take them to your local junkyard, you may be pleasantly surprised at what junkyards will pay for your old auto parts . Unless they absolutely cannot be used anymore, junkyards will usually pay top dollar to you for something that they can always use or resell for a higher price. Of course, if you only have one type of auto part that you have to sell then you may only get $5 for the whole deal, but anything that you receive from the junk yard is better than nothing at all. The plus side to selling your auto parts to the junk yard is that not only will you receive compensation for them, but they’ll also be out of your house and garage collecting dust.

Use Your Old Automobiles

If you have an automobile that is no longer running for some reason or another, one way you can make money off of it is by selling off the auto parts within the car in order to make money. A lot of people call this method the "parting out" method in order to get people to buy the auto parts on the inside of the car. Furthermore, everything from the alternator to the tires can be sold to individuals if you are parting your vehicle out, but selling the parts to individuals who need them makes a whole lot more sense then taking your car to the junk yard and having it impounded because it doesn’t run anymore.

One thing that individuals must be careful about, though, is that they don’t sell any of the bad parts of the car. If the automobile isn’t running because of the starter or alternator, then those are the auto parts that will definitely have to be scratched off the list to sell to potential buyers.

Profit from Online Ventures

A third way you can make money from your old auto parts that you have sitting around is to sell them on the internet. Millions of people look at the internet for great deals on auto parts and you can be a part of the competition. A few suggestions of places to sell your auto parts

10 Powerful WordPress Plugins

You’ve probably seen all those wonderful WordPress plugins. Or have you? Here are 10 powerful WordPress plugins that will elevate your blog above the typical SEO’d site… and then some.

Advanced Permalinks (UrbanGiraffe.com) allows you to easily change your blog’s permalink structure, while minimizing the potential loss in search engine rankings as a result of such a change.

What particularly intrigues me, however, is the ability to specify a different permalink structure per Category. That will certainly yield creative opportunities with blogs that follow a silo structure.

WYSIWYG Plugin (MudBomb.com) gives you a better editor than the built-in Visual editor of WordPress. It lends you added flexibility when embedding images, for example, within your blog post. Perfect for bloggers who like to add photos every now and then.

Drain Hole (UrbanGiraffe.com) is a download manager that allows you to quickly see how many times a file has been downloaded over time.

If, for example, you offer shareware ebooks for download, you will be able to quickly see which titles are more popular than others. Plus, whenever you upload a new version of an ebook, your blog post will automatically update and show the ebook’s new filedate and other version information.

FAQ-Tastic Plugin (KnowledgeConstructs.com) makes managing FAQs a breeze. It also allows your readers to submit their questions, and even ensure that your FAQ is search engine optimized.

Filled In Plugin (UrbanGiraffe.com) allows you to easily create forms or customized questionnaires, validate the data entered into those forms, and then send you the data. No longer will you have to suffer the limitations of the basic WP comment form.

Page Link Manager Plugin (GMurphey.com) helps you to easily choose which WP pages will appear in your sidebar. If you like creating a lot of pages, you will appreciate how you can de-clutter your sidebar or navigation areas.

NextGEN Gallery (alexrabe.boelinger.com) is perfect for you who have lots of photos to display in your WP blog. You can even integrate the photos in your header. You know what they say about photos, right? These help keep visitors in your site longer.

OneClick Plugin (AnirudhSanjeev.org) allows you to quickly install WP plugins and themes with just, well… one click. It can also delete files and folders without warning you first (no are you sure‘s), so please be sure you are wide awake and alert before clicking.

Search Unleashed Plugin (UrbanGiraffe.com) highlights the terms your visitors were searching for, if they land on your blog post after using a search engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN).

If visitors can easily find what they were searching for, they will like your site even more.

Search Everything Plugin (DanCameron.org) helps your visitors search not only through blog posts, but also through pages, and even comments. You can also control which Categories to exclude from the search, if you wish.

And there you have it. Ten powerful WordPress plugins to add spunk to your blogs, and to give your visitors a better browsing experience.
