Need xtra Cash?View MessagesI Do! “Anybody have any ideas on a quick way to make an extra $100-200 a month without giving up weekends? And no....I will not consider whoring myself out or selling drugs..lol! Just need a little cash to supplement my income for a few months. I though about waiting tables a couple nights a week. any other ideas?” 11:39:09 AM 5/03/05 “Dominio's delivery. For real, I know several guys that make a good 2nd paycheck doing this. last edited: 5/03/05 11:45:19 AM” 11:40:35 AM 5/03/05 “Well, you could whor...oh, nevermind. Hey, don't you live out in the country now? I bet you could set up a sweet hidden marij...oh, nevermind. My brother used to sell his platelets, but I don't think he was making $100-$200/mo doing that. Is there a retail place around where you live that wouldn't suck to work at? Another brother of mine worked at a golf shop to supplement his income. Didn't make a lot of money but he had fun.” 11:42:29 AM 5/03/05 “My old roomate at Papa Johns maked a killing that way.” 11:42:32 AM 5/03/05 “Um, that didn't involve a shootout to get out of a bad neighborhood, did it, DDX?” 11:43:45 AM 5/03/05 “Sperm donor?” 11:48:12 AM 5/03/05 “Indiana hiking guide!” 11:48:30 AM 5/03/05 “Damn, Sass, I thought of that but didn't have the cojones to say it... Sperm donor, that is... last edited: 5/03/05 11:49:17 AM” 11:49:00 AM 5/03/05 “leave it to a chick to come in and pervert this thread with her dirty mind.” 11:49:11 AM 5/03/05 “Mooohahaha! Sissy boys.” 11:50:20 AM 5/03/05 “bit, there's nothing wrong with being a hiking guide in ...oh i see... i wouldn't admit to being a guide in idiana either.” 11:50:30 AM 5/03/05 “Hell, I'd donate mine but I'm shooting blanks now.” 11:51:16 AM 5/03/05 “dam edit feature, ruinin' my post...grumble grumble grumble.” 11:51:38 AM 5/03/05 “lap dances for the blind? (slapping my hand! BAD TREE! That was just wrong!)” 11:52:42 AM 5/03/05 “Jesus, why didn't I think of this sooner? I could have made a fortune since reaching pubity.” 11:52:50 AM 5/03/05 “Haha!” 11:52:51 AM 5/03/05 “scorch has lot's of xtra time on her hands and is looking for something to do. maybe you guys could work together on something.” 11:57:42 AM 5/03/05 “I'm sure she'd lend a hand sacco.” 11:58:56 AM 5/03/05 “Hmmm sperm donor and work with Scortch on something in the same thread. I'm getting a mental image....and I like it lol.” 11:59:51 AM 5/03/05 “Pimp Daddy John???? That doesn't sound right. ;-)” 12:02:33 PM 5/03/05 “If you don't mind painting houses that is a good way to earn some bucks. I've done it with my brother to earn money when I was younger. Paint one old ladies house and the phone will ring off the hook with more jobs.” 12:08:38 PM 5/03/05 “But he said he wouldn't whor.... Oh, you mean really paint the house. OK. nevermind.” 12:09:42 PM 5/03/05 scortch and IJ “gee. i was thinking of them starting a business together like mary Kay. you guys are perverts.” 12:11:32 PM 5/03/05 “Yes.” 12:11:52 PM 5/03/05 “In my younger years I delivered for Dominoes and Papa Johns. Good money up front, but when you see 100-150 miles on your car in one 8-hour shift, the money doesn't look as good. Some places require at least one weekend shift, since that is when demand is.” 12:13:51 PM 5/03/05 “Since I did the Domino's thing for a few yrs I can say yes you can make some good money. But it will wear your car out quickly. Gas prices are a lot higher so be prepared to fill up a lot. Try working the volume shifts which is 2-3 hrs a night usually from 5:30 to 8:30. Also a Sat afternoon/night during football season is a good time, esp if the local team is playing on TV last edited: 5/03/05 12:16:03 PM” 12:15:16 PM 5/03/05 “bit, you're killing me....but so far you have the most profitable ideas..lol!” 12:15:35 PM 5/03/05 “My car insurance company would drop me if I delivered pizzas. Apparently they will not insure any household vehicle used for deliveries.” 12:16:37 PM 5/03/05 “hey! mary kay can be very profitable. expecially if you got scortch to help you.” 12:17:05 PM 5/03/05 “lumberzac, you don't tell them” 12:17:24 PM 5/03/05 “I’ve got it. You could sell kitchen knives door to door.” 12:20:32 PM 5/03/05 “on a serious note: what's wrong with bartending?” 12:21:29 PM 5/03/05 “With Gas prices the way they are in most parts of the country right now I dont see pizza delivery being as good an option unless the pay has gone up (which I doubt) Whenever I try to make extra money I always try to make it fun. By this I mean similar to what Bit was saying about the brother at the golf shop. Think of your different hobbies and things that you really enjoy doing, thne see if their is anyway you can make money from it. Rather it be somehting you can make and sell, or working at a shop of some sort. Advantage of working at a shop is the gran ole employee discount, which can help you save some money as well. If I think of anything specific I will post it. last edited: 5/03/05 12:22:17 PM” 12:21:47 PM 5/03/05 “ I’ve got it. You could sell kitchen knives door to door.” It's a better idea than selling semen door-to-door.” 12:22:06 PM 5/03/05 “Ewker, but then you find yourself w/o insurance when you get into an accident while delivering. They'll read the accident report and then they won't even have to pay for that very accident. Poof, you're out of a car and liable for the other person, too.” 12:22:46 PM 5/03/05 frantic “ ![]() Last time I checked, I was male...” 12:23:43 PM 5/03/05 “Sacco if I could hear better in crowds I would love to be a bartender. I just wasn't born with a bartender ear.” 12:23:57 PM 5/03/05 “techntrek, lets just say not totally true, I won't go in details about it.” 12:28:28 PM 5/03/05 “Whenever I get hard up for cash I sell a few semi-automatic weapons to the local militia. 8)” 1:01:37 PM 5/03/05 “Yeah Bit I acutaly edited it before you posted that :P I got confused for some reason. Bare with me I am still new to the forums ;) Sorry about that.” 1:10:21 PM 5/03/05 “bootleggin?” 1:21:52 PM 5/03/05 “Sacco, I love bartending, but around here you have to work the late shift and I can't do that during the week. I have my daughter every other weekend, and I hate to fill up my free weekend with work.” 1:40:52 PM 5/03/05 “I make $15 or $20 each month doing online surveys for pineconeresearch. I know you have to be VERY careful about these things, but I've been doing them for about 3 years now and I've never had any problems. They send you $5 checks for every survey you do and they usually take about 5 minutes. So, that would get you 15 to 20 percent of the way to $100. I would also look seriously at eliminating needless spending. Tighten up the car insurance. Cancel the cable. Use prepaid long-distance cards instead of regular long distance plans. Buy gas always on Tuesday. Spending less is just as good as earning more. I would also look for free classified ads in local papers or classifieds-on-the-radio shows to sell some excess possessions.” 1:48:37 PM 5/03/05 “I'd also call up local churches, community centers and schools. There are all kinds of little jobs out there that run for a few hours each night. I used to answer phones and lock up a church at night while I was in college. I got to feed homeless people and debate religion all night long. It was just two or three hours a night and I made a couple of bucks. Or deliver newspapers.” 1:57:40 PM 5/03/05 “Or maybe start a grocery shopping business. Put an ad in the paper. Offer to shop for people for $20. If you get 5 old ladies, you'll make the $100.” 2:00:01 PM 5/03/05 “Reformed lurker, i like your thinking, especially on cutting expenses. I consider myself fairly frugal already, no cable etc, but there is always room to cut.” 2:07:34 PM 5/03/05 “IJ, I don't know what your grocery shopping habits are like, but that is one area where you can save a lot of money doing smart shopping. Find a place where you like the store brand, and buy it often. If the store offers a discount card, get it and use it whenever you can. Discard brand loyalty and buy whatever's cheapest.” 2:10:59 PM 5/03/05 “bit, i have no brand loyalty, but i do like to eat healthy. Eating healthy can sometimes be expensive in a small town. I just recently found out about a local farmers market starting up. I'm going to check into that. I may even plant a garden as a grocery savings and a cash crop. the market is open to anyone who wants to sell produce etc.” 2:14:24 PM 5/03/05 I found the answer! “I've been submitting some freelance articles and photos to a local tri-state outdoor magazine. I now have a monthly outdoor adventure column with photo. The magazine is currently not distributed in my county because they don't have an ad rep. They've agreed to let me sell ads on commission. If I sell enough we will also get distribution for my area! WooHoo!” 10:27:00 AM 5/18/05 “Cool beans!” 10:29:18 AM 5/18/05
