You want to make great $ in a short time. Buy a cheap truck ($1,500) and rent an areator. Hit the best neighborhoods in the city and go door to door saying that you're in the neighborhood and if they'll like their lawn areated. Charge $30 and also say you'll fertilize it for another $20. Buy a Scotts spreader for about $30 to do the fertilizing. Buy the fertilizer at Costco or Home Depot. Easily do 2-3 yards in a few hours and up to 10 in a day for some serious $. In a few months buy an areator and you have a business. Also, make a page of important facts on why it's important to areat and fertilize lawns that you can leave with the home owners, even if they don't use your service. Keep address' of customers in a binder and tell customers you'll see them in 6 months. Repeat business is the name of the game.

Hi Neville. Great blog. If you learn to trade futures you can have a job for the rest of your life. I can show you via my blog how to identify good risk to reward trade setups. I invite you to visit my blog and give me your feedback.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Neville, great site. Just wondering if you ever deal with how to get out of debt? Just read a great book that deals with the negative side of money; trying to get out of the red! Check it out. younganddebtfree.com.

The author Nana is from Ghana, she's a young entrepreneur, and her book has some great tips.

Hey man, nice blog. Started a simmilar site recently (www.roadtorich.com) and it looks like we're in the same mindset. Keep up the great work. Added your site to my blogroll since I think people at my site would be pretty interested in yours.

Hi Neville,

I found your blog looking at which blogs were linking to Kirk Report (I was looking for other places similar to Kirk's).

I'm a stock investor & recently options investor, and your site is right on a topic I was looking to tackle recently, finding some other $$ sources.

I have a full time job (as a web & software programmer). I have two goals in investing, one is to build enough wealth for when I retire (my RRSP), and the other is to have an additional source of income (my bonus money as I like to think of it). My long term goal would be to become completely financially independent. My dream is to build my own music studio, I was once a musician full-time before :p.

So I have about 10000$ in that bonus account and every trade that I do that brings me over that ammount I transfer it to my spending account as a bonus :) If I'm under that ammount I'm in the penalty box and cannot withdraw any. Recently I was lucky and profited a lot from the OIL bull :) I'm not a day trader, more like a swing trader.

Anyways, thanks for your blog, I'm also building my own along with a friend (in french tho, I'm from quebec canada, french speaking :p), I will definitely watch what kind of ideas you come up with! Btw, what kind of online business you have? I'm looking to build something myself very soon. Another guy who seems to have great ideas about how to make money online (he has a book on it), http://www.jasonkelly.com/index.html.

See ya!

hi,

Nice weblog!
There is one thing I was wondering though.. you are all about making money and so on, but why don't you have any advertisement on this site like AdSense? Im getting some steady monthly income from those sources which I then invest in the stock market (see my just launched blog: www.stock-diary.blogspot.com)

was just wondering ;)

keep up the good work.. kind regards,

BREAKING NEWS: OFF TOPIC (sorry):

This is Monty Loree from Financial Maturity Blog

BREAKING NEWS RE: credit bureaus Experian, Equifax and TransUnion are working together with regards to the Hurricane Katrina Crisis

SEE: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion working together.

I thought that I would keep you updated so that you might inform your readers.

POINTS:
I spoke with Don Girard, the media manager for Experian just a few minutes ago.

He mentioned that he's going to have an official press release mid next week.

He mentioned that the scope of the problem was actually four states, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

The big three credit bureaus Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion have a huge task but are working together as a 'single unit' to help the Hurricane Katrina crisis victims. I'm not sure if this is unprecedented or not.

Anyway, my post has more details of the conversation between myself and Don Girard of Experian.

There hasn't been an official press release yet, so this is before hand news.

Nev,

Love your ambition and drive. It makes me want to get up and put pen to paper on some of my ideas.

However, I was wondering, in all your projects (selling water, lotter tickets, etc) time is never accounted for. A profit of $2 made here and there is great but the investment of time is never accounted for.

Even if working for minimum wage, all the endeavors will leave you in the red. Man hours is always considered an expediture.

Thanks

I think it is a good idea to charge for advertising space (afterall you are a celebrity now). Is this just a one time charge?? Seems like a waste though when you could easily charge a small monthly fee...

Hey Neville! Great Blog. I appreciate what you're going through, as I also struggled to build my worth. I will follow your progress, and hope you find your fortune sooner, rather then later.

I started investing in real estate a few years back, and it was a great way to build my net worth. My experiences with real estate inspired me to create a website to educate others, much like yourself in the ways of real estate. The site is all about helping people out without trying to sell them programs, courses, books, etc. I don't want to hawk anything. I just want to educate. Stop by. I'm sure we can help to teach you a few things about real estate. The site is called BiggerPockets.com Real Estate Investing Community.

I'll be back to check in on you! Hope to see you around BP!

please confirm, is the ppcappraisal thing for real ? i've read its a scam, but others have said it is not a scam.

have you actually been paid (earned) from the ppcappraisal project ?

i'm like many others, i'm trying to find the good and honest sites and programs so to help other honest people earn from todays technologies.

my major quest:

wouldn't it be great if everyone could be paid fair compensation for "valuable" ideas !? And rid spam at the same time.

Its a biz, where you depend on 5-20 loyal customers to buy through you for you to get a percentage from that company. I'm positive you're familar with this already. Any comments will be helpful. Oh, and the catch, its $40 a month to service the site :0

Hi N,

I found yr site a few months ago & have been very inspired by yr activities. I check-in regularly to pick up tips but am still a little stuck.

I'm an up & coming entrepeneur..Iv been running my biz paragonproductions.net(not my full time job) for over 8 years but have nowhere near reached the potential or success I dream of.

My biz has massive potential as I promote over 170 artists but Im having probs getting my site the way I want it & bringing in an income(elusive web designers!!) I canupdate a few of the pages myself & the rest is down to my designer.
Iv been trying to set up my own store to sell my artists music following yr posts about free e-commerce sites but can't get oscommerce working for me... Iv even thought about starting a new site from scratch..Im jus not sure where to start...theres soooo much info on the net!

Id like some more guidance on how to set-up oscommerce & also any advice or ideas u can give me for my site... Iv even offered web designers a % of profits if they can help me get my site running the way Id like...no takers so far.

Id just like to say keep doing what yr doing & hope I can learn more from yr activities, advice & learnings.

All the best,

I found your blog a while ago. Been following it for a while. Decided to drop a note.

It's interesting to see your perspective on Michael Dell and other CEOs. Within the company, they're pretty much invisible. So, it's an interesting thing to see what the public (you) sees versus what the insiders see. This is not a criticism of the CEOs - they have a different job than those who operate the day-to-day goings-on.

As a result, I think you need to pay attention more to the operations than the CEOs if you want to learn more about business. The people who are creating value for the company usually do not have time to give speeches.

Hi Nev,

I really like Mind Petals but when we were making http://yeblogger.com/ we decided that the public is probably a better judge of what is and what isn’t a quality entrepreneurship blog.

So, yeblogger is a bit different from mind petals because we include all of the world’s young entrepreneur blogs to include everybody and give readers more choice.

If you’d like to, subscribe to http://feeds.feedburner.com/YeCommunityFeed. It’s a community feed which broadcasts all blog posts written by all young entrepreneurs in the world, so don’t have to subscribe to hundreds of individual feeds and you’re always sure not to miss out on what everyone’s talking about.

I’d love some feedback about what we’re doing.

What do you think of www.destroythispage.com
This internet project has just started on February, 09, 2007 and have already made about 15000 steps to its death! All it's visitors are simply offered to destroy the page http://www.destroythispage.com. Moreover, any visit means that the next step to the project's end have been done.
You can also try to bring in the contribution to the projects destruction (or, may be, on the contrary, to its promotion). Though, want you or not, this project will be destroyed anyway. Because its self-destruction is its basic purpose. It depends only on visit's amount how long it exists. The more visits – the less time left for the project.
But to the other hand, the more visits – the more advertising. Probably, the next Alex Tew followers (with his www.milliondollarhomepage.com) assume to earn 100 billion dollars. In fact, as they say, if you find a way to make 100 thousand people look at an empty sheet of paper every day, then you have a good business.
Project's authors promise to save the page if one of us really convince them that they should do it.
I think by now this is the craziest business idea in the world?
Make some fun, in fact, to break is not to build! And sometimes to destroy something created by another man is so pleasantly and even can take off the stress!

hey budd,
i think when you say "profit" you really mean sales (and or revenue)

is that correct?

i was reading some of your 2005 posts and you said you were making about $1,000 bottom line, but now you're making $5,000????

to make a 5,000 profit you'd have to sell about $10,000 a month... are you?

Hello Neville,

I am the CEO of On Track M*Power. We have just launched a free online personal budget software program that has been in development for nearly 3-years and I am seeking feedback. There are no gimmicks. This is totally free. I think it is different than anything else out there in that it allows the user to create an action plan that shows him or her how to manage money in a way that achieves his or her goals and the plan is integrated into the Budget Software to make it automatic. The user can then manage bills, transactions, calendar, etc. We also make coaches available to help if needed.

I think the product is easy to use but I really need users to verify this for me and give me opinions as to how I can make it better.
I welcome you to use it yourself and you can tell me the next step if you find it valuable.

Although I call this a budget product, in reality, I use a money management approach that I developed called the Financial Life System. This system helps people manage their money in a way that does not involve traditional micro managing and spending logs. My "Financial Life System" book is being printed and will be released in April.

Once again, I am trying to get as much feedback as possible. Please go to www.OnTrackMPower.com if you are interested.

Thank you

Bob Lovinger, CEO

Also I am wondering if you are basically dropshiping the products on your site and how you came to that agreement with the wholesalers.

My emails michaelplaterII@gmail.com and my site is michaelplaterII.com

hello i am a chinese student and actually i do like your blog.
after reading your trip to china,i do hope you enjoy yourself here.
firstly, maybe i could answer your question:"I'm not sure why they had fire extinguishers in the middle of a giant concrete square"
because months ago someone try to fire the picture of chairman Mao. so it is understandable that they put fire extinguishers in the square.
secondly, you said rare chinese speak english. i agree. education system of china is out but no one try to "update" it. most students here just know how to handle the test in english but do not know how to communicate in english. i am now studying in macau, a city which government by portugal and was returned to china in 1999. after being here, i find that eduction system is totally different between china and foreign country. maybe it will be fine.i hope so. chinese are not stupid, but sometines they(we) use knowledge in wrong places.such as the fake stuff.
anyway,i would like to know how you can go back to US with the fake stuff because i heard a news before, an american bought some fake watches from china and then, was seized by police of american when he go back to US.
Great Wall, it is part of chinese culture. we chinese sometimes consider things that "the older, the better".
i am glad to know what you foreigner thinking about china.
after reading your trip, i do learn something in it.
my english is not so good, hope you can understand my words.^^
and i am also starting my business experiment after reading your post.it is great.
and my e-mail, if you are interest in:

So your site is geared towards making money, but I would like to point out the importance of the other side of the equation - your costs. By lowering your utilities costs, you are saving money and at the same time helping the current global warming problem. I wrote an article on how to save money here: http://www.missionenvironment.com/savemoney.html

By the way, great blog with great ideas. You motivated me to start my own blog, and it will be up soon. Keep up the good work!

Let me know if you're interested and I will forward you the details of the site, our compensation schedule, and our style/submission guidelines.

Our site launches on July 31 so let me know in the next few days so we can continue to fill out our blogroll.

Thanks,

Hey Neville,

Just wanted to tell you that I wish I knew more people like you. There is such a shortage of good mentors especially when it comes to entrepreneurship. I am a 22-year old Russian female currently residing in sunny San Diego. In my culture, entrepreneurship is the norm and is highly respected (provided you are successful). All my life I thought I would need to go to either law school or medical school to make real money. Only recently did I realize that working for yourself is actually the most rewarding alternative. I work in a biopharmaceutical company full-time and would love to be able to run multiple side businesses. You are a busy man and clearly know how to use your time wisely, but I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions. First of all, how do you get exposure for your blog and company websites? Also, do you design your own websites or pay someone to do it? How do you find reliable wholesalers and drop-shippers? Keep up the good work!

Neville,

As a young person myself, I am enthralled when I find the blog or listing of another young entrepreneurial individual with a constant eye out for the next big thing.

I have a couple ideas in the works (at least on paper) as I am also constantly brainstorming.

Investing and personal finance are my current areas of focus, and I guess I'm just sick and tired of hearing about get rich quick schemes. If a current method of picking the next great stock is time tested, why would someone want to share it with the rest of the world? Ahh....exactly my point, it's a self-defeating revelation.

I am a firm believer that education is the road to success for many of our high school and college students today when dealing with personal finance. As a business major myself, why are personal finance classes offered as electives only? Why do we learn about science and math, with little application to real world decisions?

I feel there are three huge decisions people make in their lives that they really have no idea how to approach:

(1) getting married
(2) buying a home
(3) investing for the long term

Anyway, enough rambling from me, keep up the great work. Later!

Good Job. I am a working professional and I spend my spare time trying to figure out best way to make intellegent investment decisions. I have developed a website that incorporates all important investing principles followed by two of the greatest investors of our times: Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch.

Check it out at http://www.stock-tock.com.

It also has a free investment calculator to help you determine if an investment is good or not. Hope you find the site useful for your purposes.

Great blog, I stumbled upon it right after I created my blog (which was maybe 3 days ago). Anyways I'm tracking my own financial/personal progress with a sort of experiment an old professor of mine proposed for me, milliondollartwentysomething.com. I invite you to take a look and let me know what you think, you certainly seem like you have your stuff together. (by the way its pretty bare bones, but the premise is there. any tips for improvements are always welcome!)

Hi Nev!

On the fan side, I have been following your blog since the first months of you actually publishing. I also have taken a look at all your sites thru the times and I can tell you, you got the mojo going.

On the , why I am writing this, side.

I am the president of a massive collaboration initiative for the Organics market located at www.BigOrganicNetwork.com

On the business side, we are building the biggest Organic store ever built in the universe. We have a collection of over 100 organic merchants, and so we will build our own Organic superstore. We will also have a multi level affiliate program built out of that. I know that you know what I am talking about. The biggest Organic mall on the planet, with an affiliate program.

On the e-learning side, we will add thousands upon thousands of RSS feeds thruout our forum in FEEDS board.

All those feeds are going to be creating content and advertising for us in all the major search engines.

We are building a university.

We are designing also a Communities project where we go in communities and install organic services all over the place.

On top of publishing a massive amount of information, surrounded by Organic ads, and having the biggest electronic OR physical mall of Organics, the largest list of Organic products on earth.

We have extreme potential to do good. To dominate the Organics niche.

I know that you know what Organics are.

We are the Organics Wikipedia, or Google.

We have had a few discussions me and my fellow team mates.

We want YOU to be part of our team.

Not an employee, a team member.

I want to get ahold of you. Please let me know how we can meet and chat about all of this.

My MSN is pneumaticmuffin@hotmail.com

My Skype is

and my company is

And we send out an invitation to you to become part of our team!

PS: The Water Bottle Experiment was cool.

My step dad taught me that there are hundread of ways to make money. So I try to make money on the side as much as I can. I have my own small resale side business that I do at swap meets and yard sales.

I met people who go dumpster diving in the rich homes in Hollywood Hills and resell the stuff at swap meets and yard sales. You'd be surprized at how much you can make off of junk.

I got my kids into making money too. They made about $40 bucks putting up a lemonade stand in front of our house and I got them to make about $150 bucks at Christmas selling Mistletoe for their video game system because I dont like video games. I cant afford it and I prefer them to make money on their own for what they want.

People love kids and when they see them trying to make money and earn things on their own.

Hello!
You have a great blog and interesting articles about your experiments, also I like that you have opened to others I can see you have lots of fans and a lot of people reads you.
I also start doing my own blog and web site to make some money. I'm training myself through the TDC (Thirty Day Challenge) and it's been great and they teach you a lot of stuff especially if you are a beginner like me.
So I wanted to ask you about your web site, you do any researches for your sites (like for monkey site) when you get the Idea or someone else do it for you? How do you know that this is a good niche? Through which company do you sell your products, are this company like ebay, amazon and you have just affiliate program or something else?

I know I have a lot of qestions but I don't know a lot about this stuff and any information is more than welcome.

Have you thought about how different your experience with homelessness would be if it actually was your situation and not just a 1 week adventure? Where would you store your sleeping bag while looking for work and after you have obtained work? How would you maintain a presentable appearance and work uniform while living under a bridge? How would you get to and from work?

Can you atleast empathize with the fact that working while homeless in order to save up enough money to secure permanent housing is a very challenging proposition?

"Get a job you bum" is a whole lot easier said than done.

Hi Neville,

I have just visited your site and am writing to try and arrange a quick discussion on the information you currently show as I recognize synergies between our respective websites and an opportunity we can both benefit from.

My name is James Stafford and I run the website OilPrice.com, where we focus on finance within the commodity sectors and after having researched your various pages I wanted to make you aware that we welcome blogs such as yours to publish (at no cost) our Energy & Commodity Price Charts, Quotes and Data Panels, which cover: Crude Oil, Gold, Silver, Natural Gas, etc...
Please take a look at http://www.oilprice.com/charts.php to see what is available.

I realise your site may not be directly related to the commodity markets, but because of the topics you cover and the readership you have I thought you may find the financial markets & commodity prices useful.
We have only recently launched which is why you may not have heard of us, but I would like to clarify that the information is very well presented and doesn’t carry adverts or anything else that would impair the quality for your visitors.
Our development team have also looked over your site and believe all the price formats we offer would be a great fit.

Hopefully you’ll get a chance to take a look at what we do and agree that our free data greatly complements your site and would also be of use to your visitors.

Should you have any questions or would like to discuss what we’re offering please do get in touch.

Yours Sincerely,

James Stafford
Managing Director
