What’s Your Favorite Way to Earn Money?
One thing that a lot of employee-minded people suffer from is opportunity blindness. They’re surrounded by fun and expansive ways to earn plenty of money, but they have a hard time seeing those opportunities. They’ve been socially conditioned to think that getting a job is the one and only way to earn money for them. They complain about a lack of opportunities. But the reality is that they’re blinded by their own limiting beliefs and an inflexible attitude.
Earning money from a straight salary is just one of many ways to generate income. There are many others though.
Here are some ways I’ve earned income in the past (some of these are still active for me):
straight salary
tutoring
cash for simple jobs
shoplifting
buying and reselling products (buy low, sell high)
web consulting
contract programming and design
personal coaching
advertising sales (direct)
advertising sales (commissions)
affiliate commissions
joint-venture deals
licensing (software)
royalties (computer games)
book royalties
cash advances from publishers
donations
paid speaking
barter
interest on bank accounts
certificates of deposit
stock investing
stock trading (short term)
mutual funds
direct sales (online products)
direct sales (physical products)
live events (selling registrations)
co-creative projects (split the income)
I’ve probably forgotten a few others, but suffice it to say that I’ve experimented a lot with different ways to earn income during the past 22 years.
