How to make money like a boss.

[tseroff]

It's sad that no one wants to actually share knowladge, and only concentrate on being smartasses. :/

I'm sorry, but did you really expect better?

OT: Daytrade. Especially with the volatile economy, there are a lot of opportunities for profit. Or devastating loss. I think it's worth the risk.

I expected escapist to be at least a bit more mature than 4chan.

I haven't seen any furries yet...

Seriously, though, these are the comments you'd usually see peppered in other topics, but there aren't a whole lot of legitimate answers to this question. And while it's probably unintentional, this is total trollbait.

The only analogy I can come up with is pretty weird, so be warned:

Spoiler

I would compare it to a child pornography website. Most people are never going to touch it, but the people who will jump on it like flies on poop.

Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!

I believe that's a japanese buisness model right?

South Park actually... but yes, yes it is.

I think he was pointing towards the used panty vending machines and such...


OnTopic:
Drugs! Or....Theft!

Beware of the Law!

Which is why I agreed with him. Everyone knows those crazy Japanese folks can't get enough of their used panties. They buy so many one would wonder how they manage to actually wear all of them./falsenaivety

make a 2.5D character model that looks like a people, copypaste
make one that looks like a dog, copypaste
add large amounts of angst and hair gel.
????
profit.

Stockmarket.

The market dropped recently - now is a good time to buy. Not only is it a good investment, but many stocks pay dividends.

You need about $50,000 to really make it worthwhile. It works better with $100,000.

If there was some sort of secrete to making money, I wouldn't just give it out on some forum, I'd be off making money.
So basically, you're gona need a job.

You open with that and expect sincerity! You sir must think far too highly of people, me especially. But if you really want actual advice, you should invest in Chipotle. That restaurant's stocks are booming. And if you have a whole lot of faith in Steve Jobs's successors you could invest in Apple too, which I imagine went down a little lately. I could be wrong about both of these stocks though. I haven't been paying too much attention to the market since Netflix fucked me over. And by fucked me over I mean halved my imaginary investment. Fucking Netflix.

Learn how to make something people will want to buy and start up your own small business doing that. Though honestly in this economy good freaking luck. Getting a job is about the only sure answer to this. Well...getting a job and working your ass off to get to the top.

It's funny how you immediately assume that I never worked in my life. I'm 21 at the time and I started working since 14. That said, as a person with experience in a LOT of different fields of work, I can safely say that I got milked dry every time. If YOU sir had worked a day in your life you would know that this kind of making money does not "pay off". Or maybe your standards and ambitions are low enough for you to be fine with that kind of exploitation.

Suck it up kid. "that is not a proper way to make money". That attitude right there points to your own maturity level. If this thread was going to attract immaturity in kind, it was because you doomed it from the start.

I'm afraid someone will always be able to make money off of your ventures. And anyone who did posses a means of making money with the conditions that you demand probably couldn't use another competitor. Were I you I would simply try to find a method of "selling labor" that was not reprehensible to me.

Work towards something there's a good job-market for; become a plumber, electrician, engineer - not an artist, architect or writer.

(no, I didn't follow my own advice)

I like that you make the same assumption. I've worked since I left college at 17, and though I've changed jobs a few times until I've found something I liked, I've been employed pretty much the whole time for the past eight years.
Realistically, it is the only way you can expect to make money and stay out of jail. It sucks but that's how the world works.
Ambition is a fine thing, but it doesn't let you put food on the table, or a beer in your hand. I am now in a position of having a job that I enjoy and while I'm not rich yet, I am more than comfortable with the lifestyle I can afford.

Market investments are a high risk zone. You have to be very close to the source to actually make some money, no need to say that you need a starting capital as well. I tried to sell my "looks" at some point in my life, but when the weird offers started rolling in I bailed out. So much for that. The best way of making money as far as I can see it is fucking over the goverment, depending on where on the planet you live that could range from high to zero risk depending on the scam/illegal activity.

So you want advice on how to cheat the system? Get free money without working properly for it? That's the kind of attitude benefit cheats get from me. Wanting something for nothing. Go get a job, save money, live life. It works for everyone else.

Ambition-wise, it's "conquer the world" for me.
As far as starting capital goes, a valid option would be the foreign legion, assuming you survive the 5 year contract. but if you do you will walk out of there with a roughly estimated 75k eu. validation you to start a buisness/play stock/exchange.

Buy a million 1-dollar lotto tickets. That way, you'll almost certainly win a million dollars.

Barring that, you could always sell your blood, semen, and organs. I hear the Devil'll give you a good price on your soul.

You could sign up for some experimental testing. Or become a whore. Either way, you're selling your body.

...and that's about all I got. Everything else I can think of requires you to actually WORK to get your money. And, as you've made clear, that is simply not an option.

Yeah I'm gonna say good luck with that and go to bed. Some of us have money to make tomorrow.

Taking a close look at the "middle class" right now, it actually doesen't work. And no I'm not actually looking for a way to cheat, simply brainstorming over possibilities. "Working properly for it" would mean selling labour. And that would be not the optimal solution the way I look at it. Simply depleting yourself for pennies while someone else gets thousans off your back is like giving 95% of the money you earn to your employer.

When I was under 18 (and therefore not in any criminally liable position when I was doing this) I used to run ads in newspapers advertising a "Debt Cutting Pack" for $25.

I would then ship people a small instruction booklet showing how to cut bills and credit cards in half (drawn in MSPaint) and a pair of safety scissors.

Needless to say, I was found out, but only ever ended up returning half the money and didn't end up with a criminal record or anything, so if you are of that kind of age, you could try that.

Alternatively, if you already have some money, try investing in Australian mining stocks.

Consider this, I worked at plastic window installations for roughly four months. The past two weeks I can't even sleep from the pains I get from my left arm. Selling labour, ESPETIALLY manual, is simply depleting oneself's resources decades earlier than they actually should.

 

[itsausernamewhatofit]

1. Ask the internet how to make money in a public forum
2. Wait for smartass replies
3. Take the good ones, compile into a book with plenty of poorly drawn art and white space
4. Sell book at trendy stores claiming irony or something
5. Profit

Remember, I get half of whatever you make
