Affiliate marketing. I'm paying for my college education that way. Dunno how it will work with taxes; I'll just ask the family accountant.

Advertise for companies on the web. Design and post adverts on google and other sites, and have people click on them. Then, when people sign up/buy the thing you are advertising, you get money ($6.50-$30 depending on the offer).
Example networks to sign up with:
http://www.affiliatescout.com/affiliate-networks/7.html
One of the networks I'm with is Neverblue, tho I think I'll stop using them soon (not enough offers that I specialize in).
It's a good business. I'm making $2k a month and it runs itself, once you design a good ad. Just takes lots of experimentation and experience. Its not that easy. But, the payoff is pretty damn big  |
yes please. elaborate on that for me. it sounds interesting and like something i could/should do  |

Heh, I see I've got people's interest  Money tends to do that.
Ok, lemme try explaining through an example. Think of a big company, Symantec for example. Symantec wants to advertise their product on the internetz. So, they go to an affiliate marketing company such as Neverblue ads, and they say "every time someone signs up for Norton antivirus, we're gonna give you guys $30". Neverblue says ok, and then posts on their website a new campaign called "Symantec". Now, people such as me, who use Neverblue and other such services, will see that Symantec is running an ad campaign, and that we (the advertisers) will get paid $24 for every time someone signs up for Norton antivirus (the other $6 get skimmed by Neverblue). We get a referral link. You take that referral link, and advertise it. Every time someone clicks on that referral link, and signs up for Norton AV, Symantec gives Neverblue $30. You, in turn, get $24.
That's an extremely simplistic explanation. If you want more details, you'll have to read up on it yourself

Just one question. Do I have to place the banners anywhere by myself? So it's not just the artwork right?

Yes. You must place the banners on Google/Yahoo/Digg/Your own webpage/WHATEVER yourself. You must pay for the clicks, no one will do that for you.

Yeah it is nice, having webdesign skills helps a lot, I did some really easy 20 mins website designs for a american business man, he paid me 100-120 dollars for every design and it took me about 10-30 mins to make one.

pure win, a Canadian tradition.
Alternately you can grow spices, local deli & restaurants/caterers will pay top whack for fresh spices. Or do knife paintings, get an A0 sheet of paper, cover it with thick oil paint, go off on it with a knife, then cut it down into A7's - frame them in card form & sell em for half profit @ local card house/craft shot/florist type places. |
that is a big trade in Canada lol |

I've been thinking of buying faulty Xbox 360's and repairing them, then selling the fixed machines on. Just an idea for now. But I have to admit flashing a drive for a friend has really got me hooked.

Heh I wouldn't charge you.
It's not hard Sycho, which drive do you have?
Juba, you have to use your head when you're buying the machines.
The best ones to go for are the not reading disks type. Also the E74 or E79 errors, which can be fixed with a new PSU.

Theres plenty of guides out there.
I suggest Textbook's guide. Unsurpassed for information on swapping drives out.
