Over the last several years, many people have asked that question. My response to that is what do you know... In the early days, one of my clients (who was very artistic) started giving away online greeting cards for free. Within about a year she was generating about $5K per month (banner ads). Another lady came with to me telling me about how her husband had been injured (brain damaged and would never work again) and she worked a low paying job at W* (a big discount store that shuts down before unionizing). She was in tears when she asked what she could do. I asked what she knew. She knew teacups. Within a year she had netted $40K selling teacups on eBay. She would pick them up at flea markets and garage sales and in turn sell them at auction. I am currently teaching my 13 year old son on how to invest in the stock market. In the last 6 months he has learned on how to make 36.59% rate of return. This means by the time that he is 45, his dividend income alone will be $75K(based on his current mix of investments). By the way his investment was $57 dollars. Before looking at the internet for some way of making money look toward yourself. You may have a particular talent or interest that will give you an advantage. The last time that I looked, libraries are free. Educate yourself and become good at what you will do. Secondly approach this with a clear strategy in mind. When the bottom falls out of the teacup market, you need to have your next step in play (she owns 5 rental units). By the way, my "personal" income this year will be only a couple hundred dollars. There is nothing illegal, immoral or tax evasive in this. If I decide not to do any work on Monday, my mortage will be paid, my vehicles will have gas, and I will have food on the table. "I" hope to make no money for a lot of years to come.
