Yeah, why are you here and why/how did you make this thread?

That wasn't necessary

Sorry for the bump,
Well I'm not the one who'll get it, I said it in that way, because wanted to make it short
So, any advice?

Make money off twisted porn commissions, mlp porn is big bucks right now, seriously.

There's tons of people doing it for free/ very little money because they are either trying to gain customers and have more people know about them or it's a hobby for them and they enjoy doing it.

My brother used to do photoshop when he was about 14, he posted a load of his photos on a photoshop site just because he liked using photoshop and without any effort got paid £20 by a musician who wanted to use one of his photos as an album cover.

Basically i think you need to get your work out to as many people as possible and maybe be willing to do some free work for a while until you get well known and try and use the internet to get yourself known, flickr, twitter, tumblr, whatever you can to get yourself known, theres plenty of websites for posting your art, or pretty much anything you do. I know this one girl who's got 17million reads on one of her books on this post your book website.

this. you don't know how many people actually live of drawing furry pr0nz.

Offer classes to noobs on craigslist.
If i lived in your city i'd totally sign up.
I'm good at the business side of marketing but shit at the design part.

1. paint pictures
2. die
3. ???
4. profit

i would suggest starting as small as possible and not spending any money on what you don't have to. maybe build computers for a few friends/family members and charge a fair but profitable price. if that goes well, you can start advertising in your local paper and craigslist and facebook. just try to keep your costs as low as possible and it might work... i wouldnt bother with making a webpage because that will be an expense you dont really need to pay. you could make a facebook page for your business and that should be enough. you should assume that most people dont know much about computers and they will have to trust you to put something together for a fair price. you can gain credibility if people leave feedback on your facebook business page. you will probably want to plan out the parts for a 3 or 4 different types of computers to fit the needs of different types of people. something like a facebook/youtube macine with very minimum gaming capability, a mid range computer with decent hard drive, and a higher end gaming computer, and then something that is top of the line. but again just to to plan all this out and build a computer for a few people you know and see how that goes. if you like it, start advertising and try to grow, and maybe hire 1 or 2 people

when u create a page make it simple for ppl who do not know mch about custom pc's.

add comparisions to ur page between a prebuilt pc....& how much it will cost if u build a pc with the same spec..
the price diffrence will draw the crowd.

also describe the warrenty on all parts separatly.

ill give you some advice based on my own personal experience running a bznz for 10 years

sell people problems not solutions
never sell to niggers or jews
lie your ass off, lie about everything
advertise everywhere, to everybody, all the time
never work with women
never get women involved in your business
never let a woman manage your money
never haggle
dont rely on one or two frequent clients
dont close shop when the fish arent biting
never start a business during a bubble
never do anything to benefit others, only yourself
never do favors for customers

I have no clue where you've done business; but its obvious that you're trollin or shit at what you do

My advice to you would be to, if you want to MAKE money is to create a completely new operating software.
Here's why i believe its the only profitable option:
>the computer business is an oligopoly
>You'd be losing money and not getting orders because other trusted companies are already doing it
If you do end up creating your own business of some sort, I highly recommend Amazon and eBay. From my experience, its the best way to do small business online.

Where are you getting 1g pieces of gold?

from some swiss company

when keeping savings in gold, is it better to use smaller units or larger units?

Why keep savings in gold may I ask? Like what's the system/ advantage so forth apart from the obvious that gold is the only real form of currency

I have a close friend who did gay porn on the side for a while and here is the information he gave me: He would generally pull $1-3000 per shoot. Shoot pretty much took up a day though generally you are only talking about a few hours of actual filming. All of the shoots were in san fran and they would fly him down as he did not live in the area. One company(the whole kink.com armory thing) really tried to get him to move down and do 2-3 shoots a month on their various websites.

>>74


wow you can make up to 3k for taking a cock in the ass and not only losing your manhood but also have it on tape

no thanx there are better ways to make money, I'd bang shemales

>>207

1-3k a shoot at 2-3 shoots a month. 2-9000 a month isn't terrible for having gay sex. I mean I wouldn't do it but I certainly wouldn't judge.

why everyone here have name Scrooge McDuck?

i have hear they paid different for different action. For example:
anal: $700
bj: $500
hj: $200

like that, idk the detail

If by that you mean selling band merch, then yes. Using an online store is cost inefficient if you want to produce on a larger scale. Buy your own screen printer (cheap ones around $100 better go up in price) and do it yourself. Save a lot of money over using any other service.

when cafe press first came out I made some money by putting popular memes on coffee mugs and tshirts. (we didn't call them memes back then. it was a long time ago)

it worked for me because there was no investment except time. it's different now because tons of people are doing that. plus if it's the same as it used to be you get like $1 for selling a $15 shirt.

If you do at least 100 shirts you should be able to get some shirts with 1 color printed on them for $3 each. If you do them yourself they will be cheaper because a lot of that money is in the labor. Of course if you can sell those 100 at $10 each you make $700 bucks.

The question is can you sell them?

I think a finance major is what you want. Be warned that this field is very competitive, especially in today's job market. I think you can get a series 7 by working in certain sales positions (sales of financial instruments). These positions should be easy to come by.

It's amusing that a company can't reject you because of a medical condition which they have no right to seek records for, but they can refuse to hire you for debt from a medical condition.

'murrica.

I don't understand why your credit history should be a factor for most jobs in the first place. Seems really fucked up to me. You have bad credit, so you can't get a job that would give you the finamcial stability to achieve good credit.

I think Franz Kafka designed our economy.

>>212
I don't know if I personally would use credit checks as an employer, but it seems reasonable enough. An employee with shitty credit is on aggregate probably worse in a lot of relevant categories.

I'm truly sorry that your psychological condition prevents you from working.

Best response.

Though to actually add something on my part to OP you should check out specific carnivals themselves and talk to their management and the people who work there to really see if that kind of work is really right for you. I mean I just don't think you could make a blanket statement about the industry like what you're asking for and have it really be accurate.

If you are serious about it you really need to do the research because I don't think there's a lot of industry standards there and even then there are many types of that kind of thing.

Also you might want to think about using phrases like "NEET" and "hikikomori" less often, just and FYI there.

don't do that unless you have some special kind of talent or something and can actually act for people to watch, well enough for people to pay money to watch you do it.

i've worked fairs and stuff, you'd be trading in 'a strict work schedule' which you at least have the chance of not being around many people (depending) to certainly working with many people all at once (not great for a 'hikikomori' menality) , with stress comparable to working at a fast food restaurant, and then shoveling animal crap after everyone leaves. strict hours would be replaced by unbearably shitty long hours and no certain benefits. the fairs that aren't temp jobs through a temp job industry are fucking shady.

if you opt out of shoveling animal crap or dealing with droves of people you're doing setup or takedown and those fucking rides have almost killed friends of mine. they're dangerous and no one gives a shit about helping you lift more than you can handle, you get a hard hat and the word "go" and you will be let go if you're not fast at what you do.

(that's before what i assume would be truly shitty living conditions. i don't know about that. i've never traveled with these things.)

your best bet is to either get in with a huge commercial carnival type thing like cirque du soliel or grow the fuck up and try to at least get a security job at night so you can do nothing except jack off and eat donuts in front of monitors from 12-8am.

business finance, marketing, management, statistics and maybe basic accounting. it's probably too late for you though. economy is bad and most graduates don't have jobs. i would consider getting a masters degree in business or something

also economics. it wouldnt hurt to put in a few applications but dont get your hopes up. your only hope really is if you know someone who works somewhere that can recommend you for a job in his/her company. the average length of unemployment is like 9 months or something

SAGE has been used.

the asian markets are already saturated with asian web companies. it's like origin vs steam, origin has to be significantly better than steam for you to switch. if google complied with chinese law tomorrow and resumed business, what would convince the average user to switch from baidu to google?

>>191
I guess you wouldn't be able to get the day-to-day Baidu user to switch to Google unless Google had a more intuitive & functional website to offer. Would you agree that Baidu is a safe investment through that argument alone? I just don't know whether or not I should trust this company to grow as consistently as it has the past few years...

Get a credit card, preferably one sans fees, and don't really use it much at all. So long as you attain and pay off a balance, your credit score will improve. It's better to do this earlier on.

>>183

This is excellent advice. What I do is I have several bills that are deducted automatically. I have those charged to about 3 different credit cards and I pay them every month.

So you add a layer of abstraction to paying your bills, but as long as you don't use them for anything else and you're paying the balance off completely every month you basically have credit building machines working for you.

I can't definitively answer that question for you, but I can tell you that in most cases it doesn't make sense financially.

I draw the line at student loans. If you can complete your degree without taking out loans, I say go for it and make the best of it. If you have to take out loans for your degree, then it is, in most cases, not worth it at all.

Student loan debt is the worst kind of consumer debt since it can't be discharged in a bankruptcy (in the U.S. at least). The thing you have to ask yourself is how much more money will you make based on having your degree? In most cases the answer is not enough to justify the interest you'll pay on your loans.

Most fields (excluding medicine and a couple others) can be self-taught for a fraction of the cost of college.

If you're industrious and make sure companies know that you're willing to work hard and eager to learn you'll have a hard time not being employed.

'bout to get my degree in molecular biology. im about 5 k in debt because i bought a lot of lsd and weed with the scholarships i had and ended up messing up my gpa enough to lose out on one of my merit scholarships.

ill pay it all off by the end of the year because i networked and gave a shit as opposed to just going to class and getting high (I only did that in my lower level classes, once shit got real I was a good student.)

>>156
it is good to get involved in IT and you don't have to get a degree, but you can get certifications instead. if you can get a little experience you could be on your way to a good career without a degree

>>154
associates at community, bachelors and so on at a state or private university
A company won't not hire you because of where you got your associates

>>155

This man is correct. Do community college for 2 years, then transfer to a 4 year school. That way you get the best of both worlds.

i think it costs me 2000 a year for community college, which is about half of what my universities tuition is. I lived with my rents at when I was at a CC so that was another thing.

Also, do well. You'd be surprised what kind of money can pop up just from having a decent GPA at a community college.

Disadvantages as noted, inflation, theft, no interest, no FDIC, no gains from investment, maybe your house will burn down or weevils will eat it.

Advantages: Cash transactions are very private, and easy to hide from Mr. IRS.

>>141
You're right. I assume OP is getting a job that will automatically withhold and report to the IRS though, so cash really doesn't have any advantages unless you're making large foreign cash investments that would be taxed heavily or something. Inflation will slaughter you if you hold cash. Treasuries are getting one SIXTH of real inflation as returns currently. You'd have to do some actual real investing to beat inflation.

From what I understand FDIC is pretty much to be used only for runs on banks when they run out of money to pay depositors and are about to fail. I don't think they have anything to do with insuring against identity theft or fraud. FDIC primarily exists to keep confidence in the banking system high. If you actually need to use it and get your money, the whole economy is pretty fucked anyway.

>FDIC primarily exists to keep confidence in the banking system high. If you actually need to use it and get your money, the whole economy is pretty fucked anyway.
That's when the economy morphs from zombie into pyramid.

>>146
No, someone just adds a bunch of zeros to the end of a number on a computer and your $250k is now morphed into enough to buy a 24" color tv and 3 loaves of bread.

Just like the stock market the best (safest) thing you can do is diversify. Split your cash in a heavy fireproof safe in your house, and in multiple banks. Don't keep it all in cash either think about precious metals (If American I suggest waiting to buying these after the economy recovers and the price drops from where it is now), stocks (especially foreign and S&P 500), and the like.

There really isn't any way to avoid paypal fees anymore. ebay and paypal are the same company, and you're required to offer an electronic payment method to sell on ebay, and since paypal is the most widely used method of payment by about 9999 to 1, offering any other service is going to kill your sales or fuck you up when people try to send you payment via paypal (ebay has helpfully set up everything to default to paypal payment no matter what you do) and you don't accept it, and other electronic payment services have fees of their own, so you really can't win, even if you're not selling on ebay and have an amazon account or your own website, you're going to have to offer an electronic payment method and the terms for getting a merchant account and fees from visa amex or mastercard are even worse

so basically they have your nuts in a vice with an effective monopoly on online payments for auction sites and they know it.

there are about a billion things you can make money on selling online with a high margin, but when I need to make a grubstake fast, nothing beats hitting up the local yard sales this time of year and talking people out of gold and silver

it can still be done

good luck, it's wicked competitive out there with everyone trying to find things to sell online since they can't get jobs

what wholesale items do you guys recommend?

>>142

>the terms for getting a merchant account and fees from visa amex or mastercard are even worse

I work in merchant services and I usually tell my clients that use paypal that it's not worth switching to our service until you have about 10k/mo volume. Before then the cost is roughly the same, but once you get about 10k a month we become radically cheaper. Also, we offer way better service than PayPal.

I could go on for hours about how much I hate PayPal, but it's not related to the thread so I'll just say if your monthly volume gets up to a consistent 10k you should get a merchant account because it will be cheaper than PayPal and offer better service if you pick the right company.

Don't even think about investing in making money online unless you have at least 100$ you can lose. You're doing things backwards, first get out of debt by taking a hard look at everything, cut back to the barest essentials and rebuild slowly.

take a look and lurk for a day

Start a chan site and ask for donations.

Invest. Avoid real estate. Read up a lot. Traditionally bonds and precious metals are sort of safe havens. Place you're guaranteed to slowly grind out money vs the swing of equities. You could dump it in a CDO for probably minimal profit but no access to it. Alternatively put in an IRA if you're serious about some long term savings. I personal am a fan of precious metals. Silver is trading around the 30$ mark so you could purchase around 30oz depending on what kind of price you get. Most people would definitely encourage a diversification. Talk to your bank and maybe put 5k in a short to mid length CDO. That's half your money tied up in a pretty secure investment. Then you can read up on equities and such and figure what you want to do. Don't invest more than you can stand to lose and set stop loses for your profits. I always rather be the guy who got out pre peak and didn't get a max profit than the one who road it into the big sell off.

Also, I don't particularly like >>108 's advice. That said, I think the one common thread you're going to find is that everyone is going to say educate yourself. At the end of the day it's up to you what you want to do with your money, and the only way to really know that is to read like a motherfucker and get financial advice from people in the industry's your looking to invest in. GOOD LUCK!

Open up a Roth IRA and start buying S&P index funds (SPY is the call for the most common one). You can put up to 5k a year into it and if the returns sit there until you are 65 you won't be taxed on taking them out. If you pull them out beforehand there is no penalty, but there is the usual taxes on capital gains.

Stock market !
