Original Ways to Get Rich
How to get rich when everything seems to have been invented long ago and all niches are occupied? But not for the people we are talking about below. The most important thing is a creative approach! It turns out that you can earn at all, the main thing is to arrange correctly.
Friends rental service
We all grew up friends, but few people thought of making money from it. Sadly or fortunately, today we live in a completely different era, where friendship is earned, and not bad. To do this, you just need to create an account on the RentAFriend website, specify the hourly rate for which you are ready to “friend” and wait for someone to be interested. A win-win situation.
Registration on the site "Friend for rent" is free, and you can earn up to $ 50 per hour. You can be hired, for example, to make a company for going to the movies, to a wedding to an ex, play tennis, have dinner in a restaurant, etc.
The idea of creating a site came to mind its owner Scott Rosenbaum after visiting dating sites. He noted that none of these services offered just friendship and decided to fill that gap. Rosenbaum emphasizes that his service specializes in purely platonic relationships.
Service offering to hire a personal paparazzi
The paparazzi don’t just hunt celebrities. Now you can hire your own paparazzi to follow you around all day. That’s what Celeb4aday.com earns – it makes anyone feel like a star, even if only for a day. Sometimes paparazzi are hired to please or prank friends, as a birthday present or for any other event.
Advertising on the face
Students Ed Moyes and Ross Harper came up with an ingenious way to earn money for their studies (which is 50,000 euros per brother!), without doing anything particularly burdensome. They draw advertising on their faces, and then take pictures with funny faces or make funny videos at the request of the customer. Sometimes they have to parachute or dive into cold water. For the first advertisement, the guys were paid one euro. Over the next ten days, they earned 3,500 euros and have not been without work for a single day.
Expert market
Online service "Student of luck" offers its services to those who have any difficulties with the development of the curriculum and those who are in something great "drag". If you consider yourself an expert on any issue, you can go to the site and choose one from the list of questions that you can answer in detail. 20 percent of your answer will be available on the site so that the person asking the question can decide whether to buy your explanation. Many experts manage to sell their knowledge for decent money, sometimes they earn several thousand dollars.
Butterfly supplier
Strange as it may sound, but you can earn millions even on butterflies. In any case, it was managed by Jose Munica, who founded his business on the dispute.
Munitz’s friend offered him a bet of $100, claiming he could not make a living selling butterflies. Seven years have passed since then. A former business consultant and his wife own a thriving butterfly supply firm. Already in 2006, the company's revenue was one million dollars.
Virtual real estate trading
The character of the online game Second Life named Anshi Chang (in the real world – a German teacher of Chinese origin Aileen Gref) became the first real millionaire to earn a fortune in the virtual world.
How did she do that? She bought, built and sold virtual real estate. At the very beginning of Second Life, she invested $9.95 in this strange venture, began to purchase virtual plots, build buildings on them and set up gardens, and then put up the “real estate” for sale. Today, Gref's profit from the game is $150,000 a year.
Subscription for socks
An entrepreneur from Switzerland, Samuel Lichti, came up with a surprisingly simple idea: to found a company that would offer the distribution of socks “by subscription” to those who are lazy to go shopping. Oddly enough, the idea was extremely successful and brought Lichty a lot of money. An annual subscription (9 pairs each) costs at least $89.
Each new subscriber receives a booklet that calculates how much time they can save by not buying socks on their own: about 12 hours each year or three weeks in their lifetime, based on the average life expectancy of a Swiss man, which in 2005 was 82 years.
The BlackSocks sock mailing service began in 2005, and two years later, an underwear subscription service was added to it. Today, Lichti has about 60,000 subscribers in 74 countries.
Star registration
Who owns the stars? Nobody, right? Therefore, you can register a star in your name and get the appropriate certificate. The International Star Registry has been naming stars since 1979. Celebrities, dignitaries and simply wealthy people use the services of the IRS to buy a star as a gift to someone from their family and friends.
The IRS offers a gift package: you can choose a “vacant” star in the sky, name it as you please and get a certificate with a registration date and exact coordinates. You will be given a detailed fragment of a star map marked with a red circle "your" star, an information booklet and a letter of congratulations. In addition, the name of the star with its coordinates will be published in the catalog “Your place in space”. True, the scientific community does not recognize all these names, but these are trifles.
Goose police
David Marks once worked at a golf club to keep the course in perfect condition. Often he had to drive geese off the field, and he decided that this could come out of a good business.
In 1986, David founded the Goose Police, which rescues various objects from the invasion of geese: parks, business grounds, golf clubs and even private lawns. For this purpose, specially trained collies are used, which chase geese without harming them. Over time, the business grew, and in 2000 the company's profit was almost two million.
