OK, in your profile you mention a medical condition which prevents you from working. So, it would be helpful to know what you can and can not do. It also means you should check and see if you qualify for your local or national government’s disability assistance program. You also mention having debt, it might be worth calling your debtors and trying to change your payment schedule around.

In your journal you mention wanting to work as a personal trainer, so I’m assuming you can walk around and lift at least a small amount of weight. With that in mind two ideas:
-Waitressing doesn’t have high entry requirements and at least in the states the pay isn’t too bad. But I know other countries handle stuff like tips differently, so maybe the pay is terrible over there.
-Many schools need models for their art classes, you’d have to hold really still for a while without wearing any clothes. There wouldn’t be enough hours to make a living doing it, but it could supplement your income a bit.

At the risk of sounding like a PSA, you’ll never have lots and lots of easy cash unless you go to college.

Is college like what uni or polytech is here?

I am a qualified personal trainer but no gym will take you unless you have experience under your little pinky finger.

But i can't go for the work experience yet because i would be losing money by travelling there every week and not earning anything,

The medical condition is on going and will stop me from getting jobs. It is a heart condition so i get dizzy and stuff from standing up to long. Being on loads of meds doesn't help the sleep side of things either.

I wont blabber on anymore.. Just wanted a few ideas.. if anyone had some on making money, simple as that. smile

You could always charge someone a generous truckload or two of cash to marry them and get them citicenship in New Zeland. Then divorce them, or get the marrage annulled, depending on the kind of annullment laws around there.

I've got a friend that was seriously thinking about starting a marrage buisness for illegal immigrants here in florida. Charge a certain amount, marry them, wait X many months for their citicenship to be garunteed, annull the marrage on the basis that it was financially modivated. No messy divorce paperwork, a tax deduction from the marrage, financial boost, and they could keep their citicenship.

Interesting. Is that legal in Florida?

I don't think that is legal anywhere, at least the keeping your citizenship part according to the INS.

I just looked it up, marriage only gives you the right to petition for a green card, (basically you get to cut in line) one of the stipulations of them deciding whether or not they will grant the green card is that the marriage must be genuine and not for the sole reason of obtaining the green card.

And even after that, they still need to go through all the other hooplah to become a citizen after obtaining a green card, and that can take years.

Also with the petition forms you have to turn in documentation detailing all of your previous marriage activities, like final divorce decrees, death certificates, and even certificates of annulment.
So good luck trying to do this more than once.

Don't they have to be married for 7 years for that to work?

I guess that's why she never got around to doing it. That, and I think she meant it more as a joke anyway, but I still thought it was funny. And yes, I am talking about Florida.

Find stuff that people are giving away for free, like pianos and small children, then re-sell it on E-bay.

Start a business.

For example, you could get a set of lockpicks, practice for an afternoon, then charge people $60 to help them when they've locked themselves out of their houses. The 24 hour locksmiths make up to a hundred unlocking drunk people's apartments at 4AM.

Sell your eggs to a fertility doctor. I've seen the ads in the Village Voice (in NY) you can get $3000 for that. Otherwise you can always follow my dream of finding a really old, super rich guy who's about to kick the bucket ala anna nicole smith.

Medical studies.

Hope you get the placebo.




For real. Some of them pay in excess of a grand a pop. I know lots of people that make quite the living doing these. Look into them. If you can't find out about them, then they were never meant to be.

Why don't you call your local medical school and ask if they need pelvic models! Around here they pay $75 a speculum. (That's $300 an hour) ANDyou get to meet all the new doctors!



Like a practiced gyno cranking a speculum open inside you isn't bad enough. *shiver*

It is, it highjacks your search engine preferences to use a custom wrapped search. One that I looked into just a couple of days ago just wrapped google search engines plus adsense ads together. The catch is that the adsense ads were at the top of the results, and only barely differentiated from the page

If the toolbar is getting a 70% cut of revenues, they could score big, especially on high value keywords like forex, medical stuff, or finance related keywords.
