Ways You’ve Made Money
4 Nov
Just curious, what are some ways you’ve made small amounts of quick cash? They can be online or offline methods.
In the past I’ve done:
- Sold custom made CD’s
- Made a Facebook fan site
- Simple website design
- Sold bottled water with a bum
- Started a drop shipping business
- Made a quick affiliate marketing campaign
- Sold confiscated airport stuff
- I made an online palm reading business
- Sold my college course notes
What are some of the things you’ve done, or see people do that make quick cash?
They can be easy or hard things.

Glad you’ve got several income sources outside your job!
I’ve taught myself photography and did a few weddings, tutored friends – College Spanish courses and for some I took their course for them (is that bad?), taught Engligh for a non-profit but I profitted from bartering withe the students…now I am working on this business…

hand woven personalized bracelets, bow slings for hunters, dog collars (your favorite team colors)
Hahahah….except for being HIGHLY ILLEGAL (at least by scholastic standards) I suppose it was a good idea :-P
Do me a fave…can you do a spell check for me, after the fact? =)
Bought and sold stuff off craigslist. Best so far is the mower I bought for $80 replaced an $8 belt and sold it to a friend for $200.
I got a contract drafted for my business by and attorney and it cost me more than I wanted to spend. So I am selling this contract on ebay as an “example”. I wont make my money back but I sell about one a month with no work.
Did some web design also.
I wanted to try the bottle water idea but it sounded like too much work. lol
Started a moving company.
You actually inspired me to try the bottled water experiment. Even though there was keen competition (mostly beer vendors), I profited $50 outside of the football stadium selling bottles at $2 nice markdown from $6 inside.
