Every kid needs to make some money , right ? You want a job. You can’t get a job. You need experience. You got no experience. High School and College kid problems.

But fear not. Not every job has to be a career. Money plays. You don’t need brilliant ideas. Sometimes you just need to make some money for the summer. Or to pay for your braces. Or to pay for the phonebill your parents killed you on. Whatever you need cash for , its always a problem that needs solving.

To solve your big money problems, sometimes you only need to solve simple problems. Sometimes you just need to be creative. I’m going to give you 2 ideas any student going to any school can do to make more than minimum wage.

1. Shoelaces.

Say what ? Shoelaces. I said it.

I guarantee you that if you go to the parking lot of any high school or college football game with a bunch of shoelaces in team colors that you bought for 2 bucks a pop,and put up a sign and 2 chairs, you can make money. Not football season? . Go to where ever there are people in your community. Flea Market. Basketball Game. Dance recital. Wherever people who go to your school show up , you show up. You set up your sign and your chairs.

On the sign you put something like ” Get in the YourSchool spirit”. I will re lace your shoes with “YOURSCHOOL” color laces for $10 (small schools), $20 bucks (big schools with more drunk alums or lots of rich people). If you want to make it even more fun. You can add “I will lace them in 5 minutes or they are free”. If you are really enterprising, you can put up on the poster about 5 different ways to lace the shoes and charge a premium for anything but “Missionary” lacing.

Easy money. Guaranteed.

Sell class notes and essays, if you can be bothered to write them for people.

Sell your language skills to foreign students, if you play an instrument sell lessons. etc.

This wouldn't work at the University I'm at (sports aren't big) but I definitely dig the idea of creating something simple/cheap like shoelaces that plays to the popularity of certain things on campus.

These girls in the apartment building I live in started up a cooking/baking kind of deal. They get orders for food and deliver it to people. Theres like 1000 people in the 3 buildings in the complex. The facebook group alone had like 400 people. Bad thing was they only charged $5 a plate. I should get my azz doing something like that. Maybe I could grab a bike and pick up fast food/coffee (5 minute bike anywhere on campus) and deliver it to people. I'd charge a few bucks on top of the food and the libraries have a few 100 people in them at a time there like 5 on campus.

I called a friend of mine the other day, “Are you jealous of Cuban?” I asked him. And he said, “of course I am.”

Which is good because if he said, “no”, he would’ve been a liar. And if he said, “no, that guy just got lucky,” he woud be the worst personality cocktail out there: stupid and mean.

Sell your stale phone numbers (for girls) to betas. They think that's worth something.

I got put in the all freshman dorm when I was 22. I made a pretty penny supplying that much needed booze.

I saw a msnbc on mark cuban. He pretty much was a IT programming consultant. When a client would come up as ask do you know so and so, he would always say yes, ofcourse we do. Than once he had the project he would go read up on that language and figure out how to get project done. That lead to MicroSolutions

Another one is look for postings of studies. I made $15 today in 30 mins and all I had to do was catch some tennis balls.

Here's another Beta Service by Tuthmosis™: A service where you get a "girl's phone number for you." Since betas have no understanding of the attraction process, you give him the phone number, but end up with the bang (since you kept the number too).

My old boss made quite a bit of cash by selling pornos to other kids in the dorm. He was from LA and had a connection to get super cheap porno videos for like $1 a piece in bulk. He would then sell them for $5 each to drunk kids in his dorm.

That wouldn't work now, for obvious reasons.

Making money as a student? I could make more $ serving tables on the weekend or bartending than selling fucking shoelaces.

I will say though, this could work for high school kids. Emphasis on high school though, and even then it's a long shot. The shoelaces could work for high school basketball and football games. But you'll already have a lot of kids who have bought Nike Dunks in their school's colors anyway.

He did it in probably 2005 or 2007. I think it would still work now. Porn is very readily available online, but young kids in the dorms with their parents money won't bat an eye at spending $5 or $10 on some pornos for a laugh. I think it will work no problem.
