Creative employment

So, I'm currently unemployed. In reality, I'm just biding time until the exciting portions of my life begin: namely, June's trip to Eastern Europe and then getting out of Maryland and going to grad school.

Until, then, sadly, mathgimp continues to expect me to pay rent. A friend of mine knows someone who makes 6 figures as a Craigslist "prospector," so I figured "why not me?" As I build the "legitimate" portions of my self-unemployment (tutoring, editing, writing), I need short-term money. Here are my most recent creative employment ideas. The first was a bust, but I'm pretty proud of the last two.


1. Tried to get paid to take online surveys. I got overwhelmed by the 60 spam emails I got in the first hour and gave up. Kiss "nuraido@yahoo.com" goodbye forever.

2. Idea two

3. Idea three

I'm on a roll, people! Tell your friends, let me know any of your other crazy ideas, they'll be on Craigslist tonight!

Has anyone contacted you about these yet? Also, I would add the keyword "assistant" to your second entry...people might be searching for personal assistant.
