1000 Ways to Make Money
Introduction
Last year, I would have said that 1,000 isn't a very big number at all. It sure doesn't SOUND like a
lot, does it?
I mean, in a world where people talk about BILLIONS of dollars or where internet search engines
provide you with 7,321,419 results for "cellular mytosis", a mere 1,000 of anything kinda seems
like chump change.
And when this book was still in it's planning phase, a thousand ideas for making money seemed
like a piece of cake. After all, this was my area of expertise! I'd studied money-making ideas since
I was 5. It's one of my favorite hobbies. If anybody on earth could easily come up with 1,000
money-making ideas, it was going to be me.
But by the time I got to... I don't know, something like Idea #279... I realized that in certain contexts, 1,000 is ONE HECK of a big number!!
Still, I slogged through it... #280, #281, #282... racking my brain and the brains of MANY others,
begging people to tell me their best money-making ideas and dragging stories out of strangers on
all the ways they (or anyone they knew) had ever made a buck.
So what you'll find here is a unique collection of everything from nickel-and-dime street hustles to
quite a few serious ideas that could make you filthy rich. (And everything in between.) Please note
that MOST of these ideas will be completely inappropriate for you, and that’s okay. Your circumstances are unique and what sounds good to you might seem ridiculous to another person.
Maybe you’re looking for a way to make a few extra dollars on weekends. Or maybe you’re looking for an idea that will generate a six-figure salary. All that stuff is in here, and I hope there’s
enough variety in the book to get you thinking, and to allow you to discover something that's just
right for you.
It might be Idea #12 or it might be Idea #743. They're in no particular order, so every new idea
you come across might be the one that you've been looking for. With perseverance, I'm pretty sure
you'll find that needle in the haystack.
Considering the months I put into this project, and knowing how hard it was to compile these, I
feel pretty confident in saying that there's never been, nor will ever be, a better collection of
money-making possibilities than what you're about to read.
Now, I'm going to make a suggestion based on my own experience, and I hope you'll listen.
There’s a phenomenon that occurs when you read a long list of unrelated items. There is a tendency to skim through the list and look for something that "jumps out at you." That's fine. It's your
book. But let me give you a bit of advice ...
