sell your body to science!
donate an organ!
human chemical/drug tester.
sperm doner. (you'd be suprised how much that can earn you.)
or right a very very very offensive book on homosexuals!

Yep...
I work in IT for a living .. so have computer support skills for both home & business user etc... I started up my own IT consultancy ..for both home/business users.. As I work as an IT Contractor.. meaning I'm self employed my wages etc go through my Limited company (IT Consultancy) I tried advertising in papers for home users.. usual score.. people want something for nothing.. So most my home user business comes via google msn or yahoo..
I don't really get much work for home users.. may be 2-3 clients a month.. so i given up on that idea.. just keep the consultancy to put through my contract work/wages..
Hobbies.. shopping, ebay, Gym, holidays clubbing ...
Working as an IT Contractor.. means I'm not always in work .. ie.. I work for different companies.. could be 1 week 3 months or 6 months.. the money is good while i'm in work..
I currently been out of work for 2 months so far... got a couple interviews soon, so.. hopefully land another contract with decent ££ lol..
Hence the reason for some sort of online business idea to make better use of my limited company..
Sorry to go on lol...

ahh thats good i have a similar level of experience and am looking into a niche market namely the design aspect of things everything is done on computer and have access to the designers themselves it would be good to follow the demographics of the economy too in a sense that more people have a disposable income and would go that extra mile and spend more on a luxury item
Im also into the import/export fields namely electronics
i mean if you are interested in something on a small or moderate scale im sure i can help

ok i'll be serious with you! i would seriosuly suggest you look into selling cars!
ravi_ss
June 11th, 2006, 03:51 PM
Not a bad idea.. but not very good with cars... however my uncle is .. but he would want a cut of the profits lol!!
Nah,, give that a miss... takes too much time.. looking through papers.. checking car out etc... could possibly pick em up at auction ?
You could sell golf's and audi a3's day 24 - 7 ... lots of people after these cars and they seriously held their value!!!
Good money maker for someone...

to be honest i've just hit 17 and my mates are looking into cars well those who have passed and we all know bmw/merc are out of their range at this age. its all about micras with cheap insurance and low milage?
im sure you'll find plenty of youths willing to buy cars of you each year, after all they need a good local dealer as they arent going to go out of their city just for a good baragin are they most of they have no moterway experiance!
its good idea to look into!

Become an event organiser and management
Set up a website. Start getting connections. You need money to start off though. So you would have to start from scratch.. with small 400 person events.
After you make some decent money.. say up to 20 grand you can start bringing artists to your events (not big names ofcourse.. rishi rich project was around $30K (aussie dollars).. hiring night clubs.. printing flyers.. starting a website.
Then once you get started.. you set up events monthly etc.. and you'll start getting the $$

Just thought of a couple of new ideas..
Security firm.. - can't be that expensive to setup ... freelance security guards - start with small shops / clubs / offices / events / weddings etc..
Recruitment company - I would do IT / as this is my field.. or whatever field ur in! Everything can be done over the phone or u visit ur possible clients. Think about it.. people are working under your company and u get a cut off their hourly wage.. just sit back and wait for the money to fly in lol... Just imagine.. start with 3-4 people at time.. then maybe 20.. then even say 100 people at a time ... all earning u money !!! Sounds like a good money maker...
Only problem is, finding companies who require staff..

I'd rather do my idea :p. ie Event Management.
1) Free tickets to events
2) Everyone will know you!
3) Lots of money $$$
4) You get to meet celebrities
5) Free tickets and backstage passes ---> very hot boddied luts who wantu
6) Free tickets and backstage passes ---> gay males who want you
7) Little work to do :o
lots more benefits.. not much work.. Really all you need is the startup money.
20K would be perfect. Bring artists.. dj's, make bhangra nights.. indian themed club parties, hip hop parties.
Pay artists upfront partially.
-
Pay the club to hold the gig.
-
Website deisign
-
Sponsor people to promote for you
-
All you need is connections.. get peoples names mobile numbers.. i would do something like this.. but i don't have the $$$. its tragic.

Raining..its not as easy as you say to run an event management company. I've been in the entertainment business.. for 9 years started of DJing and went into event management (promotions). You need a good team to work with you, and its not as easy to just "GET NUMBERS" print flyers etc. you really need to know the industry very well and understand how the market works in your geographics. My current booking manager started of doing many shows and he's lost several $$ doing events even though they've been packed etc...and sometimes does make good money. He does it full time. I also branched out doing event management but the partners didn't have the same vision, but we did many things like promote concerts, Rogers mobile campaigns etc and events and its taken a long time to build your name along with clientel. No ones is really going to come to an event with just FLYERS AND BIG NAMES all the time, you have to be known to throw proper events to actually earn a reputation.
RRP did an event in t.o, and it flopped big time..they had TONS OF CASH, krazy promo but its a bunch of 40 year old doctors who had money thought they could run a show!! But it didn't come out well...expected 5K people, 1000 people showed up! Major loss!!
Anyhow...for other business ideas, Nike Air forces etc..its not really the greatest thing if your not based in U.S b/c you get the best end of the deal importing from china. Not only that many of them are knockoffs (only b/c they don't come from the NIKE Factory etc) but go thru the exact same process of fabrication (black/grey market manufacturing). But from what i know, in North America, TONS of people are selling clothes and shoes and it gets hard to get the right clientel and distribute. You could make money only on big volume instead...
Recruitment is good..depending on how the firms are out in u.k but i know in North America there is alot!

Dude.. its not that hard.. making losses is part of the game.. rishi rich project came to sydney.. and every organiser lost money... no-one gives and shit about RRP.. they asked too much money for tickets.. and no-one bought tickets.
it might be harder in Torronto.. big city i guess.. but over here.. its very simple.There are trouble.. which you have to get through.. with artists and bookings.. but after that.. its just a question of promoting.
Their is a guy in sydney who handles all the indian events.. he does it alone.. no team (friend). Its not even his full time job however it might be eventually dono what he's doing at uni. He's very rich and has lots and lots of contacts and he gets his events promoted really easily. He makes $10k on some of the events.
anyway.

have you done much buying and selling on ebay? its not as easy as you think..
you have to post everything out.. which gets really annoying.. Sometimes you won't sell the products above cost.. usually your lucky if you do. You have to pay fee's everywhere... Advertising fee's of like 1pound.. and then paying 5.5% of final price..
Then if you use paypal.. thats 5.5% of final price.. seller fee's..
so automatically.. you get 15% under what you were actually selling it for.
Anyway.. i guess you could try.

Hi,
I got some experience of buying off ebay but not really selling..
Costs .. adverts fees paypal all have to be taken into account ... before deciding on a price..
I guess u gotta spend money, too make some lol
