How do you make money?

Example of one of my tutorials:

If they can't do it after that, $15 and I'll go down there and do it for them.

LOL It is ten minutes. So Long.

I understand your point. I just would not personally charge someone money for softmodding game consoles.

Yea, I understand. Devs could possibly be mad people are charging for their free software. But I always try and donate to them.

Its 10 minutes because it details EVERY step from what to load on your SD card and where, and all through every step to mod it.

We sure don't know enough about you but 7$ is easy to make in Canada. You need to stop playing video games and get a life.
How to get a life:
1. Get out of your house.
2. Be nice to people.
3. Enjoy the right here, right now.

if you actually read the 3 pages then you wouldn't be telling me to get a life
seriously stop trolling

i have money is cash and can get it easily
i need it to get it on paypal which is complicated now days
and plus i dont play video games and in case you haven't noticed that im trying to buy a video game

How to get a life:
1. Get out of your house. already do and know how to socialize
2. Be nice to people. nicer than you are telling people to get lives
3. Enjoy the right here, right now. makes no sense to make

i was actually looking for some ideas on making money straight to paypal
because the problem is getting the cash to paypal with is a pain in the butt now with all their transfers from bank accounts and stuff

I'm not sure if they sell these in Canada, but I know that in the US you can buy a Green Dot MoneyPak card in just about any convenience store.
$4.95 for the card, and any money you put on it can then be loaded directly onto PayPal. so in total you would need $11.95 to reach your intended goal.
(Be sure to check the prices there. It may be different.)

thank you
im gonna go look into this
probably walmart has some
gonna go on a google hunt right now to find out if they exist in canada

EDIT: dammit no moneypak in canada
does anyone know an alternative?

You could say the same thing about many, many services. Installing a phone line takes 15 minutes, but your provider still does it for ya, fixing a power outlet takes 10 minutes, but you still call an electrician.

It's a service like any other, and the fee is set by the service dealer.

OK, they're scamming people too, just because it's commonplace doesn't mean you're not scamming somebody.

You're doing something for another person, something that said person cannot do on her/his own, and for that, the said person owes you money. How's that "scamming" is beyond me. The idea of scamming is offering a service that is not actually what it seems to be. If you're a "good" softmodder and you do everything right, the service you provide is 100% exactly how you describe it to be then you are fair and you're not scamming.

Well, that's where I get mine. Pretty sure any local markets got em. (Sobeys, London Drug mart, Shoppers or something, Zellers.. )
have fun!

get a job

 

[tijntje_7]

I don't make money, I save the money I get from my parents..

But I have had a job when back when I wanted my dsi, and not so long ago for my computer.


Also, this seems to be friggin' perfect timing, just saw this site on tweakers
http://prizes.org/home

It's from google, no way that can be a scam

WalMart isn't hiring? I know they have them in Canada and a monkey can get hired there.

hey guys
dont know where else to post this so mods please move to appropriate location

my question is how do you guys make money?

We don't. It is illegal for anyone other than the government appointed organisations to make money and their facilities have a ridiculous amount of security.

Was going to mention this, ya beat me to it

Yeah I have gotten tired of the illusion that is credit cards. From now on, all my online buying is with pre loaded plastic. Costs a few bucks for the service, but then credit and paypal are not free either so it is not like you can avoid a fee.

Best route is to examine your common purchases and make sure you get cards that exceed that by a comfortable margin. I seem to like 100 dollar cards.

Of course 100 might seem like a lot to a kid, deal with it.

There is ALWAYS work out there, but only the truly interested ever find it. Yard work is cliche, but it exists. Old people LIKE seeing a kid trying to make an honest bit of spending cash. Most old people will gladly give you a few bucks even when they didn't really need the yard work done just to reward a good work ethic in a young person.

If an afternoon's worth of sweat is asking too much, I guess that's just tough eh.

This was a bad joke if you are referring to printing money. In the US, the secret service would be all over you if you got caught. Go to Walmart like I said before.

any canadian who ever bought a prepaid visa from 7-11?
how do you use it with paypal?
is it possible to pay half half like the $15 from the paypal balance and the other with the prepaid?

 

[jan777]

Can't you just use the prepain card directly?

Does it really have to be paypal? Cause I had some trouble putting those in paypal.

Yeah, just checked the website. You can pay using the Visa card only. I recommend the Vanilla one.

 

[Shinigami357]

I research and encode reports and powerpoint presentations. Sometimes I have to make them from absolute scratch. My money goes to my mum, though, but that's beside the point.

 

[Forstride]

Well see, I work down at the street corner where I have s- I mean...Uhh...I do odd jobs and stuff.

 

[Satangel]

Only way I'm making money at the moment is by being a postman for the next month. That will earn me a nice sum of money.
Other options are my allowance money (but that's not really earning money). I've previously made money just by selling stuff I had at home and didn't use anymore, for example Pokemon and Yugioh cards.

My brother has made and still is making a lot of money by making websites and text-based MMORPG's. It's a lot of work but it pays well.
