I’ve gotten a lot of emails from people just wanting to make a few extra bucks a month. Not everyone is looking for a crazy affiliate-driven lifestyle changeover, most just want to supplement their income. So, I’m going to tell each of you how to make an extra $1000 dollars a month using a credit card, a lil time, and maybe a drop or two of gasoline.

First off, this works best if you live in a city or area large enough to have a craigslist ‘city’ nearby.

Go to eBay, login, search “xbox 360 wholesale” … scroll down a bit, there are tons of “Lots” of xbox 360’s for sale. Buy a “lot” of them.

Yes, half of them are going to be RROD (red ring of death) - but guess what kids, Microsoft will repair them all, for free! When you receive your 8 xboxes, immediately plug them in. Hope you have one or two that work out of the box. Some will RROD - put them in a stack. Once you get all the ones that are broke, call the 1-800-4MY-XBOX. Tell them you bought a LOT of them, that some of them are messed up, and you want them repaired under the extended warranty. Tell them you’ve followed all the steps, know that they are RROD and that you dont want to bullshit with troubleshooting them - tell them you just want the box mailed to your house.

They will mail you a box for each system (takes like 3 days) and you package up each of the systems. Send them away! About two weeks later, your going to get a refurbished xbox!

Now, while we are waiting on the bad ones to come back, lets put the working ones on craigslist. Look at what people are charging for an xbox 360, and sell them for $25 dollars less than your competitors. Every xbox i posted got 3 to 5 responses - be sure to list that it DOES or DOES NOT have the HDMI cause that gets really annoying after a 1000 emails asking about it.

Sell each xbox for profit (whatever you can get) — be careful if you have to drive to someones house — Craigslist people can be a tad bit creepy.

When the new refurbished ones come back to you, put them on craigslist too.

After its all said an done, you’ve probably made $70 to $100 on each of them. Easy money, and floated on credit!

If you want to make money, you just got to hustle for it a little bit!

If your not reading ppc.bz, you’re stupid. Plain and simple.

Yes, look past the juvenile antics and borderline retarded comics and you have some serious information about how to be successful in the PPC scene.

I’m speaking in all seriousness, follow this quick guide to ppc success.

In the words of biggie - “This is what topspinners do, while topspinners aren’t spinning dem things.”

Disclaimer: Everything I say is simply an idea - I’ve not thought about all of the logistics, I have not done this — this is just a brain vomit of something I consider to be a good idea for someone who is 20 to 26 years old.

Credit cards give out good amounts of money for leads, right? I’m sure you’ve sat around and tried to think of at least one way to push them on some site you have. Maybe you built a site around credit cards — well, I’ve got an idea that will blow your mind away. What if you stop trying to push them online, and started doing it in real life. Think of how many morons you have seen signing up for Credit cards to get a free tshirt! They do it everywhere! Hell, I was in the Philadelphia airport the other day and I saw 6 people sign up for the Southwest Visa Card just to get a stupid 76ers shirt.

Here is 10 easy steps to make an asston of money doing affiliate marketing / credit card promotions:

• Sign up with Commission Junction or affiliate program that has credit card offers
• Find nearest university, find hottest sorority, ask what philanthropy they support.
• Give sorority girls laptop, your affiliate URL, and $10 to $15 per lead they get signed up
• Incentive: Give away free “Go CollegeName” t-shirts at tailgate events
• Earn $60 to $120 per lead gathered.
• Pay money to sorority as a donation to philanthropy (the elusive tax write-off)

Yes, You could shoot bullet holes in this idea all day long — or you could just do it, get a bunch of drunk frat guys to sign up for cards to pay their fraternity dues, and make $1000 to $5000 a weekend in a small college town.

Now, here’s the mindfuck — pay someone at different schools to organize this for you, and scale the eff out of this!

Don’t ever say I didnt give you a $100,000 dollar idea. You’re just too happy sitting in your office cube earning $13 dollars an hour to jump on this…
