ok people i havent posted anything in ages so i thaught i would post something asking for ideas.

i need a get rich quick plan. i have just started college, i have a job, but i need money. any plans that dont involve stealing or selling myself? lol. i had the plan of selling peas in a cup at the side of roads a bit like a burger van but that idea is flawed because not everyone would like a cup of peas. lol

Look at what people don’t have that they need/want.
What I did once was buy some fabric and sew pockets onto them and curved then to fit an arm of a chair and sold them as remote holders. Sold one for about £3.50. I’d make up about 25 holders a night. I couldn’t sell all of them in a day. I made a bit of money.
I suppose what I’m suggesting is try to make something and sell it. Buy it cheep and sell it for a little bit more.

Just an idea!

Sir would never steal children, unless I told him I wanted a baby. Then maybe… haha lighten up people.

Red, what happened with the lady?

Looking for a get rich quick plan, most don’t work at all. And even when they do, people usually don’t invest properly…so when the well runs dry, it’s over.

I agree with Times’ on this one. I myself have looked for get rich plans and they dont work..:( Keep in school and eventually get rich the hard way is probably the best thing to do…But if you find somethin’ let me know! Good Luck!

My parents were part of many pyramid plans—and made LOTS OF MONEY, like 50k a month, with an automotive allowance and everything. The thing is, most plans will fall apart eventually.

Ummm trying to think…. (yeah it hurts lol)

What about washing windows in your area?
Or setting up a shopping service, where you do shopping for people who can’t get out much for a fee.
Gardening, simple things like mowing and weeding

Or best yet, go to your nearest high school, tell the kids that you will do all their newspaper rounds for a % each, get themoney, dump the papers (thats all the kids do round here anyways, dump the papers) lol

self employment in whatever you are good at. If you have any skill at household maintenance you can probably make pretty good money pretty quickly. If your skills are computer related consider computer tune ups and compete with the geek squad. especially look toward your educational focus.

flip houses

or

i know this kid from high school that bought a cheap run down apt. building. he fixed it up and rents it out. he’s made a ton of money

now, i don’t know you at all, but you seem like you’d be a good enough business man to pull this off. it’s kinda drastic. but most get rich quick plans are.

If you are in a college town post flyers for whatever type of work you have ability to do on bulletin boards in every building as often as you can. Make some cards on a computer. You can print your own cards on card stock. Avery 8875 is an excellent quality material. Print comes out great. Card is nice weight. No perforated edges. A little investment in time to layout the card. Your printer probably came with a program for this stock. You can change your card as you need to.
Like I said before: painting rooms in a house is low investment in equipment to the point where you make good money on your very first job.

First of all, if you want to get rich but not like dirty rich, you have to look at your location first. Can you make a lot of money out of your area? What kind of a job you can get if your still in college? For example, living in NYC without any degree, all you can be is just a server or a retail seller or such. Yes you will get a lot of money out of that due to the money wage in NYC, but you know, the majority of your money will go to you living expenses. Same as here in DC, i’m really fed up too. But since you r in college , i do understand that you have to stick to the same place for a while…..
