    Hi. I'm a 17 year old looking for ways to make a bit of extra cash. I have a job in the local shop but it doesn't pay very well. Just wondering do you's have any idea's of how I could make myself some extra cash.

    Is the shop well established? If so you can contact suppliers and get lots of stock in on credit, then re-sell it for discount prices through a fence. You can also take out a bank loan for 'refurbishments', and once you've finally bust out the joint you can burn it down for the insurance money.

    Pimp yourself out to one thousand fat chicks for €50 a piece.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Yeah that's worth a try but it's a bit dodgy. I was thinking of ways outside that job. I don't really like being in there. Any more idea's


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    If you wanna help me with the pimping business I'd be more than happy

    really random idea, but you could advertise a dog-walking service. I know a girl your age in blanch doing that and she's raking it in from the oul wans and such. e5 a pop maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Alessandra


    Ask for more hours at work? Are you getting the min wage(cos it's not bad to live on at your age).

    Maybe mow lawns and do gardening for people. Place an ad in the shop/local newspaper?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Yeah the dog walking idea could be a good one. I'll think about that one.
    And yes I'm on min wage but I can't get any more hours. The shop isn't working out too well. I worked in it before and it shut down with the old owner.

    Start our own business, see what you can do and what others will pay so they don't have to (walking dogs, painting, mowing lawns, washing cars etc etc, there's still lot of opportunity out there, you just have to look.

    Profit.

    Where can you donate sperm? And how much do you get per blown load?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭Drummerboy2


    If you could get yourself a bike and a loan of a ladder because there is definitely a market for clearing the guttering of houses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Yeah I was googling the sperm donation and no clear cut answers were coming up for me about where and how much


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 956 ✭✭✭Mike...


    Pimp yourself out to one thousand fat chicks for €50 a piece.

    Or 100 really fat chicks for €100 a go

    Don't get me wrong fat chicks need loving too

    But they gotta pay

    Dutch Rudder
    When a man masturbates, and another person grabs his arm and makes him do the motion. It's sort of like a cross between masturbation and a handjob. He is still holding on, but the other person is still moving your arm.

    Exactly. I reckon the old dude's arthritic hands could manage the gripping but the strenght mighn't be there to go through the motions, so that's where Doyler92 steps in. Jaysus, he could even do 2 ata a time, doubling his efficiency & profit.

    Paper delivery and probably contacting local businness's for leaflet delivery telling them you will do it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Lads I'll leave the dutch rudder to you's. And I rang the community voice because my friend delvers for them. They said they have enough people as it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,474 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Steal ciggies + alcohol from the shop and flog them to you mates..
    nice little earner.
    Or start offering coke etc on the side...nice little earner..and the cops will do fcukall about you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Done the ciggies but he made them too safe to rob. Shop hasn't got a licence for alcohol. Coke sounds good get me some yeah ;)

    What I meant was the local businesses that do leaflets or business cards into estates. So checkout leaflet delivery in the golden pages and also your local dominos or taxi firm etc or even your local Dunnes or Supervalu who all get leaflets delivered.

    They dont deliver themselves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭Loomis


    You're probably going to just say no, but...

    The OP asked how to MAKE money, not earn it. What you need is a reasonable scanner and a good quality printer.;)

    if you start selling drugs you can also claim the dole. you must be from an area with a lack of facilities to guarantee immunity from the law though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    I have to wait another year for the dole. And I'm in Blanch you think I could get away with it here? I say so.

    Online poker. Hard way to make an easy living. Not that difficult to learn and to quickly start beating the low stakes games online. Can soon be earning more per hour than you are at moment.

    500-170=330 profit for **** all work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 87 ✭✭tim0ney


    If you have any skillz [play guitar, speakum languages real good] then you could always try charging people for that. Or you could just do what guys in my school did at the time, and sell fags to 11-year olds for a euro each.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 585 ✭✭✭Daragh101


    go to a few solisters offices in town and charge them a fee each day to deliver and stamp their post?
