Making Money on the side

So guys, I love my camaro and I love spending money....

Well, Lets just say my income is not really supporting my habits, therefore I have thought about doing some things on my off days.

Anyone have any ideas outside of (serving,bartending?)

Does anyone do any online selling, or consulting, etc?

Any thoughts would be nice, I am not looking to get rich here, just looking to supplement the income to continue modding.

I have thought of everything from doing complete details/ paint corrections to maybe making small margins on ebay materials.

If you're good with technology you could make apps. Not entirely sure how it works but I think if it's free and you have ads in it then you get some money. A company could want to buy it. Difficult to make one that could sell for millions but making a few thousand would be quite nice.

I support my daily habits by grooming dogs for a living...but I support my car habit by trading stocks...if only I had wised up 20 years ago. Legalized gambling is definitely the way to go...it's not only free money (if you know what your doing) but the government taxes it at a much lower rate than the money we work our a$$es off for.

OP: takes Envy's class
Envy: Teach a class on how you make extra money; don't forget to charge the OP a (slightly) smaller fee than the rest of us (except me,
since it's my idea, I get this class for free). See! Win - Win - Win!!
OP wins by learning how to make (extra) money, Envy wins by teaching Camaro5ers how to make (extra) money while making more (extra) money by teaching a class on how to do it. I win 'cause I get a free class and learn how to make (extra) Money

Now this is entrepreneurship - if only Envy will cooperate.


- EDIT -

On second thought, I'm lazy. Envy, how 'bout I give just give you some money to invest for me? - you could become a hedge fund manager for Camaro5

Pick something you like to do and are good at it. For me, that is motorcycling.
I became a self-employed motorcycle escort.

I have not, I have actually never heard about affiliate marketing. Care to give me more information? Yes I am very analytical.

No. I do not recommend ANYONE get involved with wall street. Wall street is one of the MAIN sources of our economic pain, what with the trillions of dollars in fake money, trillions of dollars in derivatives, or the fact that the Fed keeps printing money that doesn't exist! There's a REASON the dollar has lost 98% of it's value since 1913... and people who invest in wall street perpetuate this completely broken system.

I'd recommend selling drugs before I'd recommend investing in wall street.

I don't know about selling drugs but alot of my customers seem to do good at it. I own a used car lot and these people come in with alot of cash. Maybe you should buy a car of a private owner and sell it for profit. That is how I got started.

This is a very short-sighted opinion... do you even know what derivatives are or are you just quoting something you read?

If you know what you are doing, it is viable source of extra income, but the key there is 'if'. Also if you starting "playing the market" so to speak, do not put all of your eggs in one basket.

Short-sighted? How can you make such an assumption on what my personal opinions are over a post I made from my cell phone? Here is something I found that can quickly describe why we are in a debacle:

http://www.infowars.com/amount-and-c...lobal-economy/

that's one of many. many documentaries like zeitgeist addendum, inside job and others thoroughly document the theft of american resources and money via wall street.

yeah, you can invest. yeah, you can play your cards and make some money, sometimes a lot of money. would i recommend someone putting their money at risk in such a volatile environment that is doomed and on the brink of a 2nd great depression? no way.
