1000 Ways To Make Money

A Collection of Creative Business Ideas

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 seemslike 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 ...

Instead of reading these one after another after another, you should spend at least a few seconds

internally pondering each idea. Why? Because if you just read the words, and move on to the next

one, you'll eventually just be reading words, and you'll have no emotional connection and no real

understanding of how you could apply a particular idea in your own life.

When a writer tries to convert ideas into words, he necessarily frames the idea with his own

understanding of the world and his own individual experiences. Your resources and circumstances

may be entirely different from mine, so take a few seconds, absorb the "gist" of the idea, and then

turn it over in your own mind. If you do that, you'll undoubtedly think of MANY more ways of

profiting from these concepts than I, with my limited knowledge and limited experience, could

ever think of.

In other words, none of these ideas will seem "real" to you unless you invest some of your own

thought in them. That's just the way the brain works.

But any way you choose to approach this list, I hope you'll have fun reading it and thinking about

the possibilities. But more importantly, I hope you'll find some new and interesting ways of making

money. And if you're ready, here are ONE THOUSAND different ways to do it
