If you're interested in a 'side' job that saves your clients tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, can be more lucrative than any flying job, and is impervious to economic cycles, please PM me. For what it's worth, I'm a pilot like most of you. I would never purvey anything that is,in any way a scam or a ripoff. The 'startup' cost is less than $200. To be successful, all you need is a computer, a phone, and an ability to clearly communicate basic financial concepts. The forum rules bar me from posting my website, or I'd do so.

I did internet marketing for a lil bit I didn't end up making a profit from the costs of putting my ad on yahoo though. I think if I tweak my marketing skills I can make more sales and make a profit.

Thanks for the PMs, I hope you've all gotten my responses. As I mentioned in my replies, my BS flag went all the way up the pole when I heard about this, too . . . thanks for taking the time to find out more.

My wife and I salvage stuff from people's trash and dumpsters and other venues and sell them at garage sales. Not very glamorous but it brings in a couple of hundred a week.

I own a DJ Company. Easy Money. Book a 5 hr wedding For $1600. Not bad for a nights work. If I am busy send out one of my DJ's, and still make money doing nothing.

Obviously, you won't be able to do those that are time-sensitive or due in court the next day or something, but the routine ones might be an idea. As with anything legal, there is always the concern for confidentiality of client information as it passes through cyberspace into non-secure computers.

Or, you could go to law school yourself, then draft wills on those three days off you have.
The only problem is attending an ABA approved school while you're trying to fly full-time...

Quite true. There are many non-ABA accredited schools one could attend. However, law school is difficult enough that it's best to make the sacrifice of doing nothing else for three years just to get it done. Some people even combine the JD with a PhD or LLM without adding to the three years.

If you or anyone else is interested in going into the law, please feel free to PM me.

If you have your Master's Degree you could teach online. I am finishing mine and plan on doing that. It is the only way I would leave the military to fly for the Regionals due to the pay cut.

Sad that we have to find "extra" work in order to make ends meet.

I'm in the process of starting an e-commerce website. After I'm up and running I'll let you know and you can PM me for the site. I currently do pressure washing. I make anywhere from $200 to $600 a day. The only bad part about pressure washing is you have to advertise. Unlike landscaping your return customers are on an annual basis. After dealing with people ALL DAY LONG on my full-time job it's a nice break to have noisy equipment running and getting dirty.
