IDEAS ON INCOME SOURCES SO FAR

 While I look online and out in the real world for a new job I've come up with a short list of ten things I can do right now to start producing income. A few of them may take a couple thousand dollars to get the ball rolling in the right direction so with out and delay lets get started...

  1. Affiliate Marketing | which is what this blog will mainly be focused on, but I'll also let you know if I have any success in these other areas.
  2. Estate Sales, Gurage Sales, Auctions | the idea is to buy items that are worth more then I will have to pay for them then resale them on eBay or Crags List for a profit.
  3. Scrap | find sources of scrap and collect enough of it every month to sale at the end of the month for a little extra cash.
  4. Service Business | this can be anything really like hauling off junk for people or picking of their groceries or medicine, etc.
  5. Match Up Service | find jobs that need to be done, then find someone with the skills to do it at a fairly low price then contact the job provider and work out a price where you'll make a profit, once a price is set let them know that you are interested and will get back in touch with them later today. Next check with the person with the skills and see when would be a good time for them to do the job. Lastly contact the provide and let them know when the job will be done, request half the money upfront and half when the job is done depending on what the job is.
  6. Posting | articles and pictures can be posted online and you can get paid when people can use them. This can be a good source of income if your a creative person with a passion for writing or taking pictures.
  7. Writing | write articles, short stories or even books on any topics that you know about this can be anything really like ghost stories, fantasy, how-to do something, romance, etc.
  8. Teach | now a job at a school teaching my not be the best paying but if you have special skills that others you can teach others you can charge them to learn them. Say if you are really good at digital photography, drawing, wood working, making money, etc. then set up a little class that you can offer to teach on different days of the week or video it and put up a paid video series.
  9. Product Moving | charge stories to move products that they can't sell, start on a small scale maybe work out a deal with a couple of stores where you can acquire the products for free or low cost and they get a cut of the profit when items sell.
  10. Craigs List Flipping | yeah like flipping a house only for a much lower investment you can buy some items on Craigs List and relist them for a profit, it doesn't mater if its a $2 profit or a $2000 profit any profit is better then none.
 Oh and as I was typing this a couple more ideas popped into my wee little mind, depending on state and local laws dumpster diving my be a profitable side source of income, just go behind any store like a Dollar Store, Book Store, Office Max, Lowes, etc and take a peak at what is in the dumpsters sometimes you can find some really good stuff that because it was packaged wrong can't be sold in the store and has to be tossed out, even books that are no longer in print or has some minor damage may be tossed, slightly damage wood may be tossed also or bent metal. These items can almost always be resold by you online and any money will be all profit because you acquire them for free.

 I do suggest staying away from food items and medical items these things have dates on them for a reason, and you don't want to sell expired food or medical items to someone and they end up getting sick from it, one law suit will quickly make you wish you've never sold anything in your whole life,

 Lastly find products and services that are just for churches and schools, and target that market only these can be anything from Bibles, seating, windows, carpet, paint, software, etc. or for schools low cost used text books and refurbished computers/laptops.

 That's all for now please leave any suggestions in the comments below, I'm planning to do some YouTube videos and maybe even some social marketing to help build my traffic you can help if you like.
