How to make a quick buck? Your tips

blood, semen and con games

In Thailand you can kill the prostitute if you have enough skrillah.

ILX has gone all Ackroyd these days.

Just do what the prostitutes round here do, take the money and run off. At least that's what I'm told they do.

get another job that pays tips

nordique, what are your talents?

Huh. Nervous video editing and bad writing. It's as much as a man can hope for. I once worked in the Hilton when I was, like, eighteen.

Open a kissing booth!!

(I am also interested in the answer to this question btw!)

(except I have no semen and I'm not allowed to donate blood!)

Temping, duh.

go to the gas station and clean windshields

Make pies

focus groups!!! i made $85 for watching a crap tv show last week

Can you get overtime for that?

well, it *felt* like i was there interminably

nordz,

what do you think of food service/catering or waiting tables?

the time commitment is flexible (4-6 hour shifts 6-7 days a week), the compensation:experience ratio is one of the most favorable across all industries, and you can be hired and start sometimes in one day.

Sell a kidney.

guinea pig your ass out for med/psych experiments

Buy a trampoline and put it in your back garden, then charge little brats $1/£1 for 5 minutes at a time.

I'd love to know an easy way!

how does one become a mystery shopper/focus grouper?
it sounds like easy money alright,but where do they get the people to do it?

Garage sale.

If kissing booths haven't really existed, I'm going to make them exist.

I've never been to a kissing booth, but I have been to a Necking Parlour.

Make a porno?

The Kissing Booth: Like Prostitution, but Lame

Also all patrons of Ally's kissing booth are 'eligible' to recieve a FREE knuckle sandwich after they come out with a stupid grin on their face. The verbal abuse comes out of your taxes.

so is there tongue involved in this Kissing Booth of yours, Ally?

on topic: recycling! get up early or stay up late and find bottles!

10 p for a full-sketch, 5 p for a quickie?

also, sell promo copies of new discs back to the used record stores.

...not that i've ever done that, or would condone that in a court of law.

(I couldn't find the pic I was looking for, which would be a severed cow's tongue.)

Sue someone !!

Tom, I'm trying to make money here and if you aren't going to pay me to see my boobies, then this is my only alternative. Punching people in the face "free of charge" is just not going to entice anyone to come visit the kissing booth.

(also before you punch anyone, keep in mind that a kissing booth involving me would basically be like throwing Typhoid Mary out into a crowd of horndogs considering my succession of illnesses, so I think the punching is unnecessary--they'll have plenty of time laid up in bed to think about what they've done!!!)

< supertroopers>Kid: Would you like me to supersize your meal for a dollar?
Cop: Would you like me to punchisize your face, for free?< /supertroopers>

Surely I'm not the only one who misread the "tips" part of the thread title.

You are not.

This seems to really have potential. This is the way the original post appeared when I first found it. Read it all then decide for yourself. It works for me! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions that needed to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of thing. 1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL? I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little sceptical that I would actually make any CASH but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the details of the system (SEE BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal business. 2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR IS IT MAIL FRAUD? I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See 18, h sections1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list. 3. IS IT RIGHT? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of CASH ... a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket!!! 4. WHAT IS THE BUSINESS? You are in the business of collecting mailing lists and recruiting new list developers. These questions answered, I decided to proceed. The instructions said that you have to send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 300 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So, I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!! Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I seems likely to me that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST include your mailing address, the date and your signature." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses
1.)Bud Muchiando
235 Oakridge Dr.
Daly City, CA 94014, USA
2.) Brian McKeon
1101 County Route 12
Pennellville, NY 13132, USA
3.) Terry Joe Sundwall
269 Park Ave # 1
Rochester, NY 14607, USA
4.)Brett Kerkman
4408 Carter ave Unit2
Cincinnati Ohio 45212, USA
5.)Justin Saldivar
6427 s. Hildreth ave
Tucson, AZ 85746, USA
6.) T. Dunn
722 Hopital Rd.
Dawson Springs, Ky 42408,USA

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 300 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 300, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.
NOTE: You want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
