"How to make an extra $1000 a month"
ionno, give me some ideas? This isn't just for me, this is for the board. I'm sure we could all use more money so give up the goods on how you save/generate money.
a second gig is the obvious idea but anyone have some weird ways of making money we don't know about that don't involve selling your soul?

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
..used to know a girl who was a receptionist at a focus group and she would get me into more groups than someone is supposed to be weekly ..all of them were $100 cash each ..only hitch was the beer and wine tasting ones, they had you sign some shit saying you had a ride home.

21. "it's going good. i sell on ebay and locally here" In response to Reply # 16
at a friend's store now too. But the new thing is to use instagram. If she has 1-5000 friends like my sister and all her little friends then she can just put up one photo of a piece of clothing on instagram from her smpart phone, the price, tag it #instashop #instastyle and sell to her friensd and whoever else winds up following. that's the new thing. people just put their email and you do it all through paypal invoice.

23. "nice..and exactly what i told her about instagram" In response to Reply # 21
i seen some chick they had her on nightline.. she selling right out of her closet making a grip!!! shit i got some shit i need to get rid of.. Phat Farm anyone?????? Sean John?? when i worked for a label i got alot of that shit for free and never wore it.. its jus in the closet and storage..'got a grip of timberland shit too.. i might have to do that..lol
you gotta invest some money in the licensing...some more to get your brokerage situation set up...lets say you ultimately spend abt 2500.
well from that point forward your income is you dependent. if you hustle...you can clear 1k a month i think pretty easy.
thats just doing leasing/rental...fuck around & be a buyer agent on a home sale or a listing agent & you'd make 3-4x that depending on where you are
have *I* done that? no. but i also havent honestly gone hard to do so...& w/o trying i made a lil under that in december. like...stepped in, showed a few places & bam.

33. "i follow a couple people on IG that but clothes for cheap either from" In response to Reply # 0
people or from outlets and they resell them.
i see how the girl selling used clothes makes her profit but i can't get how the guy buying 7 jeans from the outlet is making any money. his mark-up ain't that much. plus he be traveling to get them. they must cut him a serious discount for buying in volume. but can a regular outlet store authorize those kinda discounts?

45. "also, with usertesting.com..." In response to Reply # 38
... You're paid differently for mobile test vs desktop tests. It takes a few good tests on the desktop side before you're invited for mobile testing, but the difference is $3-$10 for the typical desktop test versus $15 for *every* mobile test. Also, once you get approved for mobile testing they'll ship an IPEVO webcam on an adjustable pedestal, free of charge, to record your mobile tests with.
The one caveat for all tests: Most tests except for the $3 joints require you to pass a "screener" test. The screeners make sure you're part of the demographic they're targeting. I've answered them the way they want just to get to take the better paying tests, BUT be honest on the screener tests that ask for your location: They can check to see if you're really where you say you're from (there's ways around that too but it's too convoluted to do).
As it progresses, you'll get asked to participate in focus groups. Those can pay $40+ for a session. I've done a few focus groups for them. ---------------------------

46. "Web search evaluation" In response to Reply # 0
I've worked for two of the larger companies that do this, but basically you get sent web search results from one of the larger search engines and are tasked with evaluating the relevance of the results to the query. There's a lot to learn especially since the two biggest search engines have slightly different guidelines, but once you get the hang of it you can get through it quickly.
Pay is usually $13.50/hr. The company I recommend going through is Leapforce because it's the only one I know of that allows you to be completely flexible with your hours. You need a minimum of 10 per week and can go up to 40 a week.
My thing is going to estates sales and flipping shit on eBay. I prefer media because I still collect media and have the knowledge to know what's valuable: books, zines, CDs, tapes and records. Obviously, I focus more on rare or hard-to-find sh*t.
Examples of some real flips: Found a SIGNED copy of Aretha Franklin's first bio with David Ritz (not the second, juicier book he published against her wishes. LOL) for $3 and flipped it for almost $100.
Found some random first edition Iceberg Slim paperback for $0.50 and got $75 for it within 24 hours. The starting price for that book was about $100+ among other sellers on major sites but I listed it for $75 so it would sell quickly...
Copped it Joe Henderson's Page One LP in "VG+" condition for a couple bucks and earned $600 for it via auction. It was painful to let it go...
I could go on but y'all get the drift...

Obviously there's an initial outlay in equipment costs.
But if you're in a major city it's absurdly easy to book gigs in my experience. People literally stop me on the street when I'm walking around with my camera.
I copped a pro-level camera just to shoot family and ended up investing in good lenses when it became clear it was a viable side gig.

59. "Yeah. I’ve thought about real estate photography as well" In response to Reply # 56
While I know there is a huge market for photography I don’t want to deal with the demands of “make me look hot b”
I have a huge catalog of scenic photos I need to retouch and try and sell
I also have a bunch of old hip hop photos of random groups performing that I need to do something with.
A photo of Jay sitting on his Benz after a label show he did at BET waaay back before he blew. Fugees, Big Pun, Heiro, The Liks, Dan the Automator, Mos, etc. I got rolls of film I still need to get developed from college of a ton of hip hop heads. I’m going to tackle that this weekend and put a little boom together.
This could be fun.
