I write about all sorts of different money making methods on a variety of websites. But the site with the most (over 400 pages now) is EveryWayToMakeMoney.com. Below are some of the most recent pages I’ve added to it. I write most of the content for this website, but I do occasionally hire help, and my writer in Israel will be getting a dozen new pages to me soon, so be sure to bookmark the site if you like what you see.
If you are thinking about buying or starting a business, there are mentors to help you. They are part of SCORE, a non-profit organization that has branches all over the country. They will also provide business help for existing companies.
My wife and I have done well with our online business, but we want to diversify. More specifically we want to buy a business that is already successful. And though we have started a few small businesses, we have never bought one. It really is a different process, to say the least. So we made an appointment with a local SCORE volunteer this week.
By the way, there are 13,000 of these volunteers offering confidential business » Read more: Business Help
Once again it is time to take a look at the latest money making pages on EveryWayToMakeMoney.com Here are some from the last two weeks or so, with a short description of each…
Buy and Sell Cars for a Profit – How to raise cash quickly with a fast transaction. This page explains how to do this even if you have no money of your own to invest. Alternately, if you know nothing about cars, but have a thousand bucks to invest, it also looks at that.
A Strategy for Rental Condos – Make a decent return from rent and plan for a profit when selling. Cash flow is so good with some condos now, that they could lose value for years to come and you’ll still make good money.
Which are the best small businesses during these relatively tough times? Who is still doing well despite the state of the economy? Here is what a recent article on CNN.com found:
“The economy is weak and consumers aren’t spending freely.
But here’s the good news: There are small business sectors that are growing — and where the chances of success are higher, according to Sageworks, a financial software and information company.
To name a few: Child care. Liquor stores. Services that help people with their finances.”
The article expanded on a few of the small businesses listed;
Can you make money as a politician? Of course you get paid if elected to just about any position others than city council in some small towns, but you also spend a lot of money to get elected. On the other hand, it can be other people’s money. According to a recent story on Yahoo news;
“Obama reported this week his campaign and the Democratic party raised a combined $70 million for his re-election bid…”
The article also noted;
“Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in an email to supporters this week that more than 600,000 people donated to the campaign since July, more than the previous three-month cycle.”
The year isn’t over yet, so lets look at making money in 2011. Here are some recent posts and pages from our family of websites and blogs. Maybe you’ll find something of interest…

The following quotes about money are just to get you thinking. Making money is not enough. We must also know how to use it to get what we actually want (what are you going to do with those green bits of paper if not trade them for something that actually has value?).
If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal–take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal. – Katharine Hepburn

There is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune: go there with a large one. – Jack Yelton

How many ways to make money can you think that involve using knowledge or expertise you already have? Hopefully at least a couple. There are many more than you might realize, though, especially in the age of the internet. Here are some examples.
First, for the purpose of explaining these ways to make money, let’s assume that you know a lot about something. Normally we each know more than most people about some subject, whether that is raising kids, fishing, putting on makeup, cleaning a boat or any of the other thousand possibilities. For our examples we’ll assume you know all about growing vegetables.
You can teach others directly by way of seminars in your own backyard, charging them a fee for each lesson on how to properly plant and raise their own foods most effectively.
Can you make money with your hobbies and/or interests? Yes–now more than ever. Why more than ever? I’ll get back to that in a moment, but for now here is a video that will help you understand how many ways there are to make money with your hobby, by outlining some simple and effective ways to make money from an interests in cats:
I speak from experience, by the way, because I have made money from my hobbies. At one time I enjoyed carving walking sticks, and so I started doing it on a larger scale. I sold hundreds of my creations at flea markets and craft shows over the course of a summer. I never priced them higher than about $24, but others regularly sell their walking stick online for $80 or more.
I love playing chess, and I have even made money doing so. Again, this was a temporary and part-time money-maker, but I made a bit of extra cash. I had a job where we had a fifteen-minute break every hour, and there were other chess players who like to bet on our games–which we played very quickly.
Writing, has always been a hobby of mine, and it lead to a book contract for my recently released “101 Weird Ways to Make Money.” Prior to that though. it was basis of our successful internet publishing business. That brings us to why there are more opportunities than ever to make money with a hobby or passion.
