10 Surefire Money Making Ideas For 2017

In our world today, things have changed from time to time. In terms of earning and saving money at the same time, there are countless ways for you to try them on your own. After all, it’s all about earning income. But there are some individuals (or maybe some idiots) or groups who are creative and innovative enough to find lucrative ways to earn extra cash online and offline. They’re just gathering up ideas, daring to take risks until those “out of the box” methods may work not just for them, but for others too.

But sometimes, they’re crazy enough to make some money that an idiot can do. In other words, they’re actually quite fun to do it. Did you know that those people who are successful in life, are the ones who have crazy ideas in mind and taking action with it?

Absolutely yes! The once-called idiot (but now successful) guys like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Ray Kroc, Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers, Jack Ma and others, have crazy “out of the box” ideas that people didn’t like.

They keep on telling them like “Don’t Take Risks”, “You’re Crazy!”, “It’s Not Possible” and other messages that could discourage and make them quit or giving up their respective dreams.

However, it’s the other way around….

They didn’t listen to those “dreamstealers” or “naysayers”. They keep going, going, and going….until they proved them wrong. You know why? It’s because of their right way of responding to those challenges and taking action…..even if it’s something they’ve never done before.

The same thing goes to you. If you want to have some fun earning money in a lucrative way, this article is for you. I will be revealing to you some fun and crazy ideas to earn extra money in a lucrative way.

Are you ready to learn and have some fun? Let’s get it on!

#1: Reselling Other Services

Do you think it’s possible to earn small to big bucks with very less effort?

Of course! Even a “super idiot” can do it. No matter if it’s online or offline, reselling the services of others is considered a lucrative way of earning extra money. Basically, you’re looking for a cheap service in various freelance gig sites like Fiverr, and sell the same service at a higher price to a high paying client.

In other words, you’re the middleman!

Let’s say for example, a client with a big budget is looking for a reliable SEO (search engine optimization) service provider to help him rank well in the Google SERPs. What you’re going to do is to look for a SEO service that has several satisfied customers at an affordable price. You’re going to promote their service in an unusual way (in which the client didn’t know that the service you promote is far cheaper than what you actually charge).

For instance, the SEO service you promote only cost around $100. Let’s say your offer to the client is $300, and he agrees. He pays you the $300, you give $100 to the affordable SEO service provider, and you keep the $200 with very less effort. Sounds fun, huh?

But there’s a catch! This isn’t some kind of “deal and forget” thing, but you need to remain in communication between the client and the service provider. When the client asks you something, you can forward it to the service provider. It’s your little responsibility……and it’s good enough to earn big bucks just like that.

I bet idiots can make much more of this.

#2: Pilot Someone’s Game Account

I honestly think that idiots are gonna love this kind of idea….seriously.

If you love to play Defense of the Ancients, League of Legends, Crossfire and other multiplayer online games, this one is for you. But for those who aren’t really playing online games, don’t worry it’s easy.

You can make money by simply piloting someone else’s game account. The reason these hardcore players are willing to pay you to do this, is because they’re after leveling or ranking up their accounts. They don’t really care how much they pay you (because they’re idiots), but it depends on how knowledgeable you are into his or her game.

But….they’ll pay more if you’re experienced in a game he or she played. Pretty cool for an idiot, huh?

For example, League of Legends is considered as one of the most popular online games played today. Most of the players here are after ranking up their accounts to several tiers in order to prove that they’re going to become one of the best players in the game.

Since these idiot players have limited time due to school, work, going out to drink beer with the gang or so, they’re going to pay you just to use their game account for leveling or ranking up. The same thing goes to the other online games. Not only considered as one of the best fun jobs for teens, but for idiots like you as well.

#3: Selling In-Game Currency or Rare Items

There are so many opportunities that you can actually make money playing computer games, and you just have to simply think “out of the box”. Have you earned millions of virtual coins and rare items on your gaming account? Like in World of Warcraft?

Well, well, well…..I have news flash for you! .

Not only you can make money by piloting someone else’s account in a specific game, but you can also make money by selling in-game currency and rare items you have on your gaming account for real cash. Until now, players from different MMO games are desperate to buy rare items and virtual currencies for certain reasons.

One of my friends who worked part-time in our now-defunct internet and gaming cafe, has a gaming account with legendary gaming items. One hardcore player is interested to buy those items for real cash.

Guess what…..that buyer is a girl (and she’s a freakin’ idiot)!

I see both of them negotiated about the virtual legendary items that my friend had, and the deal was a success. She gets her “legendary virtual item”, while my friend earns real cash! Anyone can do this on their respective online games, as long you keep playing for virtual currency and hunting rare items around.

#4: The Discount And Promo Method

Do you like discounts and promos like getting free baby diapers? For sure, yes!

Malls, ready-to-wear stands, online stores and such are giving away discounts and promos for a limited time. Some are doing it every month, but others are doing it every one or two weeks. It really depends. If customers can’t afford to buy a certain item that they’re targeting at a mall, they need to wait until it’s marked with a discount or promo.

But they didn’t know there’s a secret loophole behind it, and that is to earn money with items that are marked with discounts. Let’s say for example, a mobile phone originally costs $300 at the mall. But during the sale period, you luckily bought it at 50% off. It means you have saved $150 . And then…..what’s next?

For sure, you have saved $150 right? But what if you try selling it at almost full price? So let’s say you’re selling it for $280. At least, you have $130 profit. Not bad, huh?

You can start a small business with this method by putting up an online store or posting to classified ads, and it’s pretty lucrative (and a fun one). Overhead expenses are not really much needed after all.

#5: Making And Selling Plush Toys

I’m sure that most of the kids out there are going to love making and selling plush toys that they have! But I think the idiots can make much more….if they’re crazy enough to do this.

Plush toys can be a lucrative and fun way of earning income. If you don’t know how to make one, just go to Youtube and watch how they make it. But you can’t just copy them, creativity and innovation are needed for you to make a difference. Try to make plush toy figures from something that is already trending.

For instance, Batman and Superman are very popular nowadays due to its blockbuster movie (and I’ve watched it already, and some idiotic scenes too). You can make as many Batman and Superman plush toys as you can, and sell for profit. Sewing materials for plush toys are very cheap, so profits won’t be a problem once you sell it. Selling stuffed animals and plush toys can make you some extra cash at least.

Just use your imagination, be creative and you’ll win in the end.

#6: Endorsing Candidates or Parties During Elections

In the United State, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are doing everything to win the people’s trust to make one of them as the next “White House” takeover. The same thing happened in the Philippines as well.

For them to do that, they need to hire or pay someone to endorse or promote them. It can be anything like putting ads on your car, giving out baller bracelets, printing shirts, and so on. But if you’re creative enough to do something that’s outside of the box, just do it and they’ll pay you for that.

As long you’re doing it to reach people and gain their trust to your endorsed candidate, paying you won’t be an issue.

#7: Massaging People

Even inexperienced idiots can do this. …

Years ago, one of my idiot friends who massages a guy gets paid for doing a great job, even if he hadn’t done that before. It doesn’t matter if you’re not experienced enough. What really matters is that people love to relax their body in any form of massage.

You don’t have to be a pro or expert in doing massage to others. Basics are good enough for customers to relax, even if you don’t know what you’re doing. This is actually perfect for idiots who are looking for weird ways to make money without a job (or just to be on the side).

However, they would appreciate more if you have some sort of creativity. You can just simply observe how massage therapists are doing their job, and you can practice and implement something different that makes people relaxed and coming back for more. It’s either you can do it at home, or just on the sidewalk.

It may not earn you that much, but at least it’s good enough for your daily needs.

#8: Motivational Speaker or Coach

If you’re looking for a decent way to make money on the side, being a motivational speaker or coach is one great option. But this is not just any other option, you could earn more from what you get.

Did you know that the likes of Brendon Burchard, Darren Hardy, John C. Maxwell, Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor and the rest are so-called idiots before?

Right now, they’re getting paid big time for sharing their message to the world. They teach and motivate us in all life aspects, in which we can apply and put our learning to good use. But anyone (even an idiot) can become a motivational speaker or coach.

You just need to follow them, watch their videos, read books and attend local motivational seminars and workshops. The more you’re exposed in these events, you’re on your way to become a motivational coach or speaker in your town or city.

You can start doing that by doing one-on-one coaching first. Keep practicing until you’re confident enough to speak into a huge crowd (whether if it’s a school, workplace, organization, etc.) and get paid for it.

To make yourself different from others, just think outside of the box, and you’re on your way to success.

#9: Assemble A Choir or Worship Team

If you’re good enough to sing and play musical instruments for the Lord, this is another lucrative and fun way for you to earn money. Did you know that choir members and worship team are getting paid by various people on certain events for their talent? Absolutely yes!

The good news is that there’s no point of saturation for this money making idea. As long you have a nice singing voice or knows how to play musical instruments (with some creativity), you’ll get more people to get interested in your talent for specific occasions.

Both of my sisters along with their friends are actually doing this gig for a long while. They assembled themselves as a choir singing for weddings, burials, Christening, special occasions and more. I witnessed them few times that they’re getting paid for singing in church. Because of their satisfaction, they recommend their choir to other customers.

#10: Becoming A Youtube Sensation

There are several ways for you to make money on Youtube, but this one is actually more fun than ever. Although it may take a while for you to get noticed, but you’ll get more than you expected in return.

Being a Youtube sensation is one fun way for you to earn extra money. All you need to do is simply create a Youtube channel and start making videos on your own, and activate your Youtube Partner Program into your account. You can perform any kind of talent, as long it has creativity that others can take notice.

Once they liked your video, they will share it on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc. It will create a viral effect and may receive hundreds or millions of viewers worldwide. It’ll reach out to huge TV networks and shows, and they might invite you as a guest to one of their talk shows.

Or…….they might give you a TV or movie contract! How cool is that? WOW!

Have you heard about Fred Figglehorn? Due to his high pitch voice and issues on anger management (not in real life, only acting) videos, he gains Youtube popularity and Nickelodeon takes notice. As a result, Nickelodeon paid him for his talents to be televised on their TV network. Even Grumpy Cat made $100 million from Youtube alone.

If you’re just starting out to become a Youtube sensation, there’s a need for you to consider retention views. Although there are several Youtube services out there, most clients are recommending a best website for Youtube views for providing legitimate retention views in gaining early exposure for your brand.

If they can do it, so can you.

My final conclusion

The most important thing you need to do is take action. All of this would be useless if you just learned and not taking action on these money making ideas to earn extra money on your own.

I have used some of these ideas until now to make extra cash, and I’m still looking for more. You’ve got an idea that’s not mentioned here? Go ahead, try it as long it’s a lucrative and fun to do it.

Just take it one day at a time, you’ll get used to it. Make it a habit, and you’re on the right path to succeed no matter what happens.
