And, no, before you ask, I’m not looking for a hand-out…
Having recently produced, with a little input from Mrs.Tab, child-two, we find ourselves a bit poor. We’re not quite eating our own shoes yet, but they’re beginning to look mighty tasty.
So in short, I need to make some more cash, hopefully without selling any organs or putting the missus (or myself for that matter - strange world that it is) on the game. I don’t think my pimp hand is that strong.
Any ideas…?
I’m thinking something like online freelance writing, book reviewing, Mafia hitman or other piecework that I can cram in around babies bottoms and full-time teaching.
As for getting paid… well… erm… if it gets published how’s $2000 US?
That is… assuming I make that much
I’ve already started on the second… this one is much more public mainstream – big bucks there. This monkey’s got his pulse on the… finger… of america; or something to that effect.
In all seriousness though, there is money to be made online if you are committed enough. A couple examples I know of are:
keyword articles – This is seriously mundane, smoke a huge bat and zone out for a while work. Typically it includes throwing random associated words together to generated search hits for a website.
Pop/Mainstream gossip type stuff: There are TONS of Sex in the City type bullshit e-mags out there that need writers to essentially say the newest bullshit in a cool, funny way.
Technical Writing – This would require intimate knowledge of some sort of technical field.
Various Editing – See above.
Not knowing the comercial laws over there its a bit hard to figure out. Street Vending, ebay, Translator free lance.
Get folks to send you stuff from here that you can sell there. Start an American novelty store or street vending. Body guard for rich kids, gigilo, Escort, all of the above. I don’t really know, The comercial laws might be a whole lot different.
Best of Luck, I have stood in those shoes, when our boy was born we had a few years of rice and beans type of living, just so he could eat right and have things babies need, like clothes, a roof, electricity and water. We made it, you guys will too, hang in there, and stick together.
How about export? You have international contacts. Got anything good lying around Turkey that we should know about? Something that would suit the US market and can be gotten rid of readily and cheap? Something unique for the countless american gift shops? Let me know. In a PM. I might have some cash to invest in a couple of months. Once I start working again. Maybe sooner, if it’s a good idea. I know some future tycoons. Just not any present ones. There must be a Turkish Mafia you can get the upfront money from. Of course, there are ways to do it without any money, if you can get a co-operative supplier and a stupid importer (raises hand).
edit - oops. Didn’t read Kris’ post. What do they say about great minds?
Rather then rallying against the system with his working class, he is forced to turn against his class interests by taking up habits of the petty bourgeois; he becomes a capitalist instead of an anarchist.
You are a traitor, P.
Remove yourself from my company at once or I’ll call the guards.
It is economical to capture the weapons and supplies of the enemy in order to spend less of your resources. It is a triumph to defeat the enemy with his own weapons.
