The old reseller trick. I tried this with RAM once.. in the end I made like $5 of each stick and the entire exercise basically allowed me to upgrade my ram for free. I can't imagine what kind of volume you'd need to do to replace an actual job

traveled a lot and drank a lot and found some ladies depraved enough to have sex with me in different parts of the world

it was technically the second time i experienced a layoff in my life, first time was right out of college but they rehired me a few weeks later

ever since then the corporate world scared me into living well below my means so if i ever lose my job it has no immediate negative impact on my life

in the us there are sites like bulq.com where you can buy whole pallets of liquidated stuff to resell. in nz there is probably an equivalent.

ecommerce, drop ship stuff like homebrewing supplies from china

online transcription. all you need is a computer and one of those foot pedals and you get paid by the minute or word

writing erotica

customer service/telemarketer for something like a donation drive or amazon

marketing/website design/spammer

if you have specialized skills and experience you could be a CPA/book keeper from anywhere. programmer, really any it job, vba macro maker. trucking/taxi dispatcher.


could you learn to prepare taxes and then advertise online? does nz require some tax related training or can anyone just jump in?
