Sneaky Money Making Schemes

[Gizmogle]

Carry on from the laptop thread...
I've pretty much decided on the cheaper MacBook but with a 120GB HDD.
Coming to a total of £739.
I have £107.59.
I need £631.41.

I don't want a job.
I don't want to lose my priv
My Mum works a part time job on minimum wage and earns £107pw.
If I were to get a job, I would need to earn less than £108pw. So I would be very limited to very crap jobs.
(Although a job might have to happen after I realise there's no other way)

Selling my body (as suggested quite a few times) is not going to happen

Any good ideas for making money?


EDIT: I also have two guitars for sale if anyone is interested?
A black Stagg Warlock for £100
and a black Yamaha ERG for about £80
Also an small beginners amp for £30ish.

Any good ideas for making money?

If I did have, I wouldn't be sat at work on a Friday afternoon (or any other time)

Get a part time job? Sell someone else's body?

Shove your stuff on eBay? Do a boot sale?

Getting a job is the only real way of earning money, bar winning a decent sum on the lottery.

You're still not too old for a paper route mind!

Any good ideas for making money?

Become a railway photographer and publisher
Why should FotoPic make money out of your website?!
Set up a commercial website (costs less than £10 a year)
Register with various advertisers and use their links (your not supposed to, but they don't normally mind as you are spending money)
Visitors to your website may click on associated links, providing you keep them up-to-date

I'm too weak to carry a bag full of papers, and don't own a bike

I tried to sell the guitars on eBay before, but it cost way too much to list them and I didn't get the price I wanted for them. I'll try putting up adverts locally. That should hopefully bring in a bit of they get sold

If I could win the lottery then that'd be good too though. Anyone got the numbers?

I could also busk, but I don't have a singer.

I really do wonder, you want money yet don't want a job? Then don't get the money! Its people with that attitude that just sponge off our benefit system. If you don't want to work then you don't get the money. Simple.

 

[Jim]

Do a boot sale?

I won't come, I don't need a boot

Offer advice on eBay. Sell advice or psychic powers or something similar and people will probably pay for it. All you need is to invest the cost of the listing on eBay, and that can be covered by use of a reserve.

A car wash? Making Lemonade? A sponsored coverage trip?

Cash in hand job?

 

[Gizmogle]

Cash in hand job?

I am not giving hand jobs!
(or did I misread that one? )

 

[devon_metro]

Yes

 

[rail-britain]

You could sell pieces of A4 paper on Buy It Now on eBay
Effectively, it is used so that people get their feedback scores up from zero to about 10
Sneeky, but true

 

[Beaker]

put it in a decent account with interest rate that is high

Tell me more!

I need a bank account that sevenruples my balance hock:hock:

 

[Beaker]

dont we all.

I sing

 

[D306]

you don't need to sing. all you need is a musical talent, like just play one instrument.

 

[Gizmogle]

Who said I have musical talent?
I'm not good enough to play without a singer and actually capture peoples attention like some players do.

I haven't heard you sing yet Max!
Record something!

 

[nath9425]

You could always sell fake tickets on Ebay....Thats a good way to make moeny as it was on the news today!

 

[Gizmogle]

Is that what you do then Nath?

 

[Nick W]

Buy christmas tree seeds and plant tomorrow. Harvest them and sell and you're well on your way to becoming an entrepreneur.

Rabbits eat the trees? nevermind shoot the rabbits and sell, and you could still own the following businesses in future:
train company
airline company
phone company
cinema company
car company
drinks company

 

[Juniper Driver]

Why don't you get a job on the railways?

That's how I started 26 July 1982 and im still there.Never thought I still would be all these years later.

Record something that would capture people's interest, and mime

You should give it a go, you never know what could happen.

 

[Nick W]

Why don't you get a job on the railways?

I believe that's full time only, with a lot of jobs from 18 only.

Remember she doesn't want a job!

Whatever happened to the 'I hate Macs' statements?

Winning the lottery is unlikely, how about robbing a bank/post office/convenience store?

Forge banknotes-the only genuine way to make money! Let the ink dry first though.

Who, amongst the noble band of gentlemen on this forum, would be as ungallant as to suggest that you sell your body?

Sell your privs. Oh no, that's been done before.

PM me for further ideas that I could not possibly put into print on this forum.

 

[Gizmogle]

Whatever happened to the 'I hate Macs' statements?

I never said I hated them, I just said I didn't want one. Wanted to stick with what I knew. But turns out that if I pay for the kind of specs I want on a PC, it's gonna be over £1000. Whereas the MacBook gives me pretty much exactly what I want for £739. So I think it's worth it

Who, amongst the noble band of gentlemen on this forum, would be as ungallant as to suggest that you sell your body?

No one on the forum. Just other people I've mentioned it to.

Seriously now, you can get a VAST range of non-Mac Laptops from between £350 and £500. Where are you going for the sort of silly money prices you sem to be quoting?

Give me a better spec. 120gig Hd, what else do you consider essential?

Yes, but not the specs I want. I've been looking around alot, and true, there are some cheap ones like that, but the specs are not what I want, and the battery life on them tends to be awful.
