Now some of you know that I own WoWMafia, the currently 34th best server in the world for World of Warcraft. That brings me around 600$ per week. Although not all of yous are emulation experts, here are tested ways(by me) to make 300$/week and work for yourself.
1. eBay
Story:
My mothers was skeptical at first when I asked her for my own bank account so I can start my eBay business at 14 years old. When I had my Paypal verified here's what I did:
How:
Went on youtube and got an instructional video on ANYTHING. I will not tell you my niche because I'm scared of saturation. Literally any INSTRUCTIONAL Video.
Eg:
How to unlock an Iphone, how to modify your Psp to read downloaded game...etc
Why it works:
Sure there will be other people selling guides on how to unlock an Iphone, although you will be the only one with a VIDEO. You will be able to charge 2$ just because you have a video. If you spent hundreds of $$$ on an Iphone, I think you'd spend the extra 2$ for a video instead of a written guide.
Some will say this is illegal because your using somebody else's video, although the author of the video put it on Youtube for millions of people to see, your just letting people see it for a price. Worst Comes to worst make your own video, just copy somebody on Youtube. I made around 150$ from 1 good video.
2. Snow Shoveling
Story:
I liked to shovel my driveway, and thought I should do it for money. Although my friend had tried it and never got 1 customer, he had passed around fliers in the neighborhood. Now I didn't have a snow plow or even a snow blower, I only had a shovel and I would've had to drag it around from houses to house. How was I going to get many people around my area?
How:
I was too young to get involved with yearly contracts( and still am ) so I decided to go for the " per push" payment. My friend failed with fliers so I decided to go door to door. To my surprise door to door had a 25% success rate! Seeing somebody in person was MUCH more convincing then seeing only what I can do on paper. They saw I was a clean kid and not some junkies looking for money. I charged 5$ to do only the stairs, and 15$ for the driveway and the stairs. I left them my card when I was done.
Why it works:
Simple. Advertisements = People = Demand = $$ in your pocket. My friend failed with fliers, so y would I want to try the same thing? I also offer 2 types of payments, the stairs and/or the driveway, so that everyone almost had something they needed done. 5$ doesn't sound lime much, although it takes 10-15 minutes to do stairs. I did 5 houses stairs in 1 hour. 5x5 = 25$/hour, doesn't that beat your friend's salaries at Mcdonald's? Also by leaving them my card, they would call me back next time it snows, it saves you the hassle of going door to door.
Don't be afraid to talk to people. You have to present yourself well and talk with confidence. when they open the door. Remember to ALWAYS leave your card after you shovel they stairs/driveway!
