What do you guys do for extra income?

[RobertK]

Yard Sales + Ebay = Profit

Also Craigslist / copart.com E36s + Ebay = Profit

Made close to $2000.00 extra income last month as a Power Seller.

And yes I report it on my taxes.

But you know....

JGood came in nearly 3 years before Jscotty, so you gotta give respect to the elder of the two...

If getting a dealer license in Ohio is anything like in PA, you'll be jumping through hoops for months. Its hard even if you have a damn car lot.

No its not too bad here at all (looked into it,) I hate PA laws they are way more restrictive than S. Ohio. This is not something I plan on doing soon, school is 1st, + I can still sell 10 cars per year before the state will make me get a license. ;)

My aim is to get a dealer license and sell low cost imports on the side (but there is a bit of overhead there.)

Car flipping. Bought an '88 735i for $1500, did a full detail job, re-finished the wood trim, re-dyed the leather and sold if for $3000 the next week. Took a few afternoons and about $100.

I've done that a bit, but it is way easier to flip >$2000 cars.
examples: $100 plymouth (used for 6months) sold for $700, $300 240d, 1 week later (and a few parts removed) $700. I bought a 300te for $1700 put a grand into it and only got $3200, so $500 and 5 months later wasn't worth my time. Sold a few others for profit.

You could always work for a sports team like a baseball team in the summer, or a football team on weekends in the fall.

I try to bum money from people in forums by making them feel sorry for me :)

Dude, I think you're overestimating Steve's prowess with women by a factor of about 10. The only ladies he gets are hookers from Frogtown and trannies with daddy issues.

how much waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles did you get in your 20's when you were 6'7" tall and weighed 110 with hair to your shoulders you lanky freak. i bet you couldnt have scored a crackhead in frogtown wearing a suit made out of 20 dollar bills
eat a section 8 dick with a side order of pity

The Notorious BIG said it best: "Either you're slingin' crack-rock, or you've got a wicked jump-shot." Nobody wants to work for it anymore. There's no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee's, honor's in the dollar, kid.

Me? I'm a fucking renaissance man.

So in fact, what you are saying is that out of all of the women you can have, you would prefer to have another man's mouth on your genetals.

you are the dumbest bastard currently a member on r3v. id say you tie for the deagle award but as far as i know hes gone.
im married so my days of stray waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles are long gone. but to answer your question, yes, i wouldnt mind looking down at you as you gag and choke on my genetals (sic) right before i pull out and spackle your eyes shut.
you arent even any fun to rip on. its like teasing a retard. initially its fun but it soon grows tiresome because you get nothing in return

So for those of you who have started your own business,

What keeps you motivated.... or at least what keeps you as motivated as you were when you first started the business. What techniques do you use to keep yourself motivated. Because once you lose the motivation, then all hell breaks loose and it falls apart.

The only real motivation is enjoying what you are doing. Money becomes not worth it after a while (to an extent) if you don't enjoy what you are doing. Motivation is caused by challenges/learning, if you have an interest in what you are doing. That's how I see it, anyway. Hence why I don't really part out cars anymore. The only real challenges I came across were dealing with cheap fucks, people wanting me to ship 10 foot long items to Yakambodia, and people asking questions like "will this m10 bolt right into my 740i", without doing the smallest bit of research. People annoying me is not good motivation for me.

I would not start my own business up if I were you. The freaking way self employed people are taxed is horrible!! You can just about figure for every $100 you make roughly $40 of it will go to taxes... Which only lets you operate on 60% which sounds like alot still but it isn't. Out of that 60% you will have to take care of all expenses and if you manage it properly you will have around 10-15% of that left that you will then be hit on taxes for that roughly around the 40% in the beginning. Its complicated and it sucks period.Unless you can do quite a bit of cash business and then you can fudge alot of your income.

Hopefully there will come a point where you can hire people to be motivated for you.
