It doesn't matter what, doesn't even matter if you point to your local area in a traditional way or to the whole world through the Internet with a modern e-business model. The secret is always the same: specialize; and don't try to make money fast or a lot of money soon; try instead to make reasonable money right from the start and then gradually increase: your business will give you great rewards. |
| | The most important money-making tip is to learn everything you can possibly learn that can be applied to a career, even if it doesn't match what you're doing or planning now. If you plan for a career and it falls through, you will be stuck doing unskilled work unless you can shift into another career. I was a technical theater major in college, but I got hurt badly (I'm in a wheelchair now) and couldn't do it anymore. So I tried to switch to English, the college didn't cooperate, I left school. So my employment prospects looked pretty bleak, right? Except I had been playing with computers for years and taught myself how to program. I am now a computer programmer and make a lot more than I'd have made as (say) a data entry clerk, plus I have the skills to take contracted and subcontracted jobs to write certain programs and reports, and those pay very well indeed. |

| | Offer to do #1 for your neighbors/friends/relatives who don't have the time to clean out their junk, or aren't computer savvy |
| | Find a need and fill it. Don't rely on a company or someone else to hand you a solution, go out and find out what people need and are willing to pay for, and then offer it. For example, at Christmastime, I noticed that a lot of people were selling "personalized letters from Santa, postmarked from the North Pole" for $10. Guess what - a parent can do this for free, but better yet, anyone can sell the service. Put a free ad on Craigslist services, and undercut the competition - sell them for $8. Go out and buy some nice stationary. Offer the ability to pay through Paypal. When an order comes in, write the letter (personalized with the child's name and what they want for Christmas, sibling's names, etc.). Then follow the USPS for postmarking it from North Pole - http://www.usps.com/communications/news/press/2003/pr03_090.txt. The child will then receive their poersonalized letter from Santa, and you'll make $8 each. This is just one example of using your own ingenuity to make some money. |

| | Medical transcription is a way to make money at home, as 85% of transcriptions work from home. I have been looking into education with Career Step. Employers who are online would like prospective employees/contractors to go with certified courses (www.aamt.org to find out which). Competency-based training is VERY important. There are many courses out there that are worth nothing. If you expect to work for a local employer, contact the local transcriptions offices or the hospitals, for whom they want you to train with. Here it is that they would want me to go to a particular community college in my area. Medical transcription requires fast typing speed, medical knowledge, research skills, spelling skills, confidentiality, computer savvy, reliability, and more. It can pay well if you are good at it. Some claims say $40,000 or even more per year. It really depends on how fast you type, how good you are at it (you must understand all the info you are typing and look things up), and how man |
| | I have started a blog because of the inspiration at Stevepavlina.com. Listen to his podcasts for inspiration like I did. He talks about creating value. When you realize how many scams there are out there, things that claim to pay and don't, it's because they are not valuable to anyone. So, they can't get enough funding to pay people. Like Steve, I am creating a resource, because there is a true need for a collection of honest and legitimate ways to make money. You can make more money, he says, by offering the free content, than you can by doing subscriptions. This is because you also put ads in it. Google Adsense is one type of ad people use in their blogs. There is a whole thing out there about people monetizing their blogs. |
