    It doesn't get into specifics but it is a good start for anyone who wants some information about their options with respect to business models or investment strategies
    I did download that book for free, thank goodness. It is geared for kids just graduating high school and yet not really for them. Not a lot of substance to the book. IMHO

    Xtra Cash

    Depending on your intent. I know promotional modeling pays some good extra money, you can find jobs online all the time listed on craigslist, your considered an independent contractor. And its not always really modeling, its sampling, talking to people/customers. You would be called a brand ambassador. I do this for extra money, there are tons if not hundreds of marketing companies out there with jobs and positions. Also another thing I do is secret shopping, I know alot of people feel its a scam, but if you do your research you can find the one site that promotes it and is honest and they will list a bunch of others that are out there as well. It may start to put some extra cash in your pocket as well as may get you some stuff for free since they reimburse you, they have everything from movies, batteries, party stores, restaurants... and Im sure many more. Just a thought.

    If you have the guts and the patience, freelancing online would be best. I am not able to work by servicing others like mowing their lawn of something so what I do is use the internet to generate additional income. I'm working for a few months now through odesk and although the pay is low, it is still better than having none.

    online

    i'd say internet marketing all the way, it's only going to get more in demand and allows for flexible working

    Not sure if someone could earn money doing this or not, but one thing I see is many websites, blogs, store listings etc. with horrible spelling and puncuation. I've tried to get my son (a champion speller) to offer to correct these things for pay but he doesn't like the idea. I realize that spell checks are available, but they don't always catch the little things that computers can't catch like ware and wear. Both are spelled right but mean different things.

    So there is an idea for free on something someone can do for pay on-line. I would suggest that you focus your efforts to on line sellers that English is their second language. They are trying hard to get it right, but much of their writing is incomprehensible. Trying to sell this idea to US citizens is pointless as many are in the mindset of "that is how I write, live with it" not realizing that it can detract bigtime from what they are saying or selling.

    Anyone who has read enough of my posts knows I have problems spelling myself (I fight dyslexia daily) so go for it. If someone tries this idea I would like to know how you do though

    which one is the best way to earn quick money??????
    I don't really think that there is any way to earn quick money on line, especially if you are looking for a lot of quick money! As to driving folks to your blog. You have to write interesting material, update it a lot and promote it at places that people reading it or would be interested in it would congregate. Takes a lot of time for most people to get a good blog going with enough visits to make decent money.

    ebay

    A friend of mine used to buy and re-sell skateboarding shoes on ebay and made a lot of money. Craigslist is a good place to find deals as well. If you find something really cheap, buy it and re-post for $20 more, you will eventually get a buyer.

    I need a new side job that makes that much money (approx. $500/week)
    That is a tall order since it is the equivilant of a full time job in many parts of the USA. Is there anyway you can use that very expensive college education and turn it into money? Not sure if your day job goes along with your major, but trying to find that much money every week on top of a full time job and a need for sleep is going to be tough. One thing to look at is there anything that can be cut from your budget so your day job money goes further? Can you move into cheaper housing, trade in for a cheaper but paid off car, that sort of thing?

    So I invested in Necker Anlagen
    I too would be nervous about investing in anything that promised 10% a day! Some things are just too good to be true. Sounds like a pyramid scheme. They pay out for a while to get people trusting in them and then one day they have disappeared and taken every ones money with them.

    i can't tell you how to make money. But I have suggestions here that I guess i can help you.
    If you have a vacant land in your backyard you can try planting. Planting vegetables and fruits are good idea, you can have fresh delicacies in your table without spending money.
