Well. It has been said that street beggars in NYC make $50,000 per year. So, there would be no investment.
You would only have to put out your hat. You would not need to ask anybody to give, just look sad. Yes, this is very easy.
Just sit and look sad - easy! $1,000 per month. I believe very doable.
If I am ever in NYC again, I will look for you and help your cause. Cheers.
To earn $12,000 per year is to make less than $6.00 an hour during a 40 hour work week. Most waiters or waitresses can earn that in a decent restuarant working a few hours a day/night.
The federal minimum wage in the U.S. is $7.25/hour which works out to being $290 per 40 hour work week or $15,080 per year, $1256.66 per month. Therefore finding any job in retail, Courier/driver, warehousing, grocery stores, or even fast food would meet your $1000 per month goal.
However if you were thinking in terms of launching a business of your own without investment, without referrals, and it has to be easy...etc I would say give us a call when you get back to earth! LOL!
Any business you start will require some type of time and financial investment if for nothing else than to get the word out about your product or service. You can't even win the lotto unless you spend some money on a ticket!
Another issue is the word "Easy". Only you can define what is "easy" for you. Once we get past sleeping, eating, watching televison and listening to music...etc Easy becomes subjective.
What is easy is for one person may be challenging to another.
The best thing you can do is find something you love doing and then find a way to sell it or provide it as a service to others. This way your "work" is actually "a labor of love".
The other only way I know of is a long shot.
It may never happen by the way and if it does it may take longer than you are willing to hold out for. (Comedians perform their jokes on "open mic nights", writers submit their work to contests and literary agents, actors audition...etc.
Bottom line there is no such thing as something for nothing. "Before there can be Success there has to be some Sacrifice.
1. No investment - Honeychild nothing on this earth is free. If you are looking at a business you've gotta have capital.
If you are looking at a job, you are investing your time and skills.
2. Without refferals - I am assuming by this criteria that you are looking for something online. Even so, to be successful you've got to generate interest and people's attention and many times the only way to do that is by referrals.
This also rules out an opportunity that is making a couple of my friends some serious money which I wrote about in one of my hubs.
3. Easy - Hmmm, is there a thing as an easy job? Like any good thing, it requires effort.
4. Min $1,000 per month?...even the paperboy doesn't make this much money =).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
