    What kind of service could I provide where I can get 300,000 (or more) people to pay me $1. Or maybe 150,000 (or more) people to pay $2? Just curious..haha

    Start a stock photography website, become extremely popular and sell high quality photos at $1 each.

    Actually, sandrodz is on to something.

    Perhaps find a prgrammer to set something up where it shows a picture of a nude woman, and your visitors can use virtual hands to feel her up. :D She moans and giggles on certain parts touched.

    Charge a couple of bucks.

    Hmmm.... This may have possiblities.... :D

    Sounds good, I will pay double. ;) Only joking.

    Perhaps you could create a eBook, if its good enough and advertised properly you could get loads of sales.

    yes. selling any kind of valueable digital product will work. its hard to get people to get into buying mode though, its different then browseing mode. might be easier to use a site to get 300,000 people to click an ad that paid $.50 each or even just a cpm program. You could also use a zip code/email submit which typically pay about $1 and get them to put in their zip or email. make sure you don't cross incetivized lines if something is not incentivisable.

    Use your creativity, if you don't have any then read Thinker Toys. Once you have a creative idea read Tipping Point.

    Apply to your projects and viola -Instant success!*

    *Disclaimer - isntant success only happens in fairy tales, hard work will bring success over time though. :D

    Do read the books though, they are very good. Or as shoemoney does, just listen to them.

    I would agree, making a web site that earns money would be a lot better. If you work on it enough, you will start earning more and more. If you become good at making sucessful web sites you could create the all the time and sell the for quick profit.

    Get involved in a MLM marketing company. Talk to at least 5 people a day, bring in at least 5 people a month and make sure you train them to do the same. After a few months you're living the internet marketers dream :p

    You're on to something bigdad. I remember that I read something quite a while back that said, "If 20000 people give you a quarter, that's $5000."

    It made me think...a lot, and it's the kind of thing that makes you think outside the box. It actually made me think of an idea that I considered copyrighting.

    Keep thinking...you're on to something.

    You can get people to sign up for free giveaway offers by some of the marketing guru's. There is a good one at the moment with Santa Sal (check my sig link) and you get $1 per sign up and 50 cents for each of their sign ups.

    It's pretty easy to get ppl to sign up though - because people are always after free stuff.

    haha. Love the office space humor! But um yea Im gonna need you to go ahead and come in on saturday.

    But anything really weather its a service I provide that only costs a dollar. If I can get something automated that would be even better. (who doesnt wanna be lazy) But seriously Ill do the work I was just playin there.

    Are you sure? Wouldn't it be smarter to develop your own OS since there's not exactly much an ATM has to do, just calculations and network access.

    Go outside and start asking people for money. Ask for a random amount like 38 cents, usually they will say 'nah sorry, but I have a dime...' there ya go. Ask 3 million people and you will get your $3k. :)

    I know a way you could get 300,000 people to pay you a $1 each it's simple and very easy to do. Offer in exchange $2 to each person that does it ;). I think I deserve reputation for my genius.
