I need more ideas on ways to make money. I've had a LOT of 'been there done that'! Any extra suggestions?

This is trivial but I find that most people are not aware of it. If you want people to pay you money, you have to provide them a service or a product they are willing to pay for. I prefer services because the only way you can compete on products is to offer a cheaper price.In services, you can compete effectively by doing it promptly, accurately, and always provide a little something more than they asked for.

Take an inventory of your skills and then start thinking about services you are good at the people don't like to do for themselves.

If your looking to make money from your computer you can always try out the Mahalo Greenhouse, with practice pages can be built in under an hour and most of them are worth over $10. greenhouse.mahalo.com/index.php?title=Sp....

You could answer a lot of "tip" questions on Mahalo, and get some paypal money if you answer them well enough to have them rated as best. Although you probably knew that already, didn't you? Fast money usually will not come legally or ethically.

But if you get a job, you'll at least get slow money, which is better than nought.

For extra Christmas money, decorate other people's homes and take them down too. Do Christmas shopping for guys. Wrap presents.

Bake cookies for customers using their own recipes. Hold an online yard sale, use either ebay or your own website. Find a good niche.. what do you ALWAYS have trouble finding?

Go find a source and sell to others like yourself.

Start a towing/repo company. Low startup costs, big profit potential in this down economy. All you need now is a truck..

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.
