Money Making Schemes

Nagesh answers:

You could get wire (armature wire comes in all sizes and is pretty cheap) and form a stick figures, swinging on a swing set, and have one wearing a skirt made of a condom and a little pacifier in her mouth, and color and cut out a pair of red pouty lips and put it on the other stick figure on the other swing, along with some pasted on (you cut and color red again) fingernails and toe nails.

Could even have a little basket, with a little tiny stick figure in it, for a baby.

Or you could have those stick figures throwing a baby back and forth…or you could make like a diorama with the baby on a Popsicle stick that when you push and pull it, it goes from one kid to the next through the air, with a bunch of smashed babies on the ground at their feet.

Or you could recover a cereal box, with a new cereal name and pictures that border on sex or aggressive, soldier, money, babies, themes…geared for children and in young language and flavors.

Mow lawns in the spring/summer and fall, and shovel snow if applicable in the winter. Be industrious… Take on lots of clients and hire help if necessary, but you will get clients because you are a kid, and people will want to help. Also, since our overhead will be very low, you can keep prices low which wll help with client on-boarding.
If you need fast money, I have no idea.

Nagesh answers:

1. Be an early investor. Ride your bike around and check the paper for garage sales. Hit them up and buy up music CD’s you find. Normally 25 cents to a buck each. Then bring them home, windex the cases, use some automotive wax and a soft cloth to clean the CD’s. Then ride them over to the used record store. On average you will get $2.25 per CD. Some $1, some $4. You will at least break even, meaning lose no money, otherwise make profit for just shopping and cleaning a few CD’s. And this can be done on your own time frame.

2. Since you mentioned camp, I am sure you know or enjoy crafts. Get on ebay, see what type of craft items are selling, jewelry, baskets, etc. Make some, have a parent set up an ebay account, and start selling them. Again, all done at your own pace and time frame. You can also find small trinket shops/craft shops in your area and sell your items to them for them to resell or use them as a distributor to sell your products for you and you give them a cut of the profit.

3. Camp counselor, amusement park, some fast food joints, cart person at a grocery store, etc.

4 since I am sure you are on myspace and enjoy it all. Go to kinko’s and make up some simple biz cards ($25). Then go around to local small business’s and others and offer your services of making them a myspace web site page. You can then give the address to them to advertise with, to link to their web site, etc. Explain how myspace is big, popular and has millions of users and some 250,000 a day new sign on. Few “adults” understand all the computer stuff where you do. Say $100 for the myspace site, info, pictures. And $25 for changes. Take you a day to do one, an hour to update one.

5. This one I told my 18 yr old bro to do cause he’s a camera wiz. If you are good with video cameras, editing, burning to DVD’s. Again get some biz cards, then go around to local soccer games, softball, baseball, tball, etc. And give your card out to the parents. Offer a service of video taping their child for the game, editing it, and burning it to DVD. Say $25 a game. You get 2-3 kids per game, you make $75 for 5 hrs of work including editing and you film all 3 at same time, as you do edit it later. This allows the parent to either A. Watch the game and not a camera, B. Not even be at the game yet still see it, and C. Able to share a “professional” yet cheap video of their child to friends, realtives. Make up a simple front page on the video saying biz name, who did it (you), etc.

Think outside the box, dont’ settle for some minimum wage paycheck when you can make 3 times as much in 1/3rd the time by just looking around.

Because they really believe the crap they hear on FOX and Rush, and they don’t even believe their own eyes, like why is it a ghetto if its so wonderful living high on the government hog?

When its them though, the government can’t move fast enough, when Tennessee had some flooding, they were angry that the Federal dollars weren’t instantly in their pockets. That will happen again in the flooding in the Mississippi too. They are true believers that blacks get preferential treatment and whites get shafted. Rush is already pushing the idea that Democratic states get faster money than Republican ones in an emergency.

You can’t change them, they can’t learn, they complain about other people when they have their own hands out twice as fast because they aren’t used to waiting on line.

Find a local one go online and apply and go in store to apply or call and ask if they are hiring.
