Default Do you have any get rich quick ideas?

I have a friend who would like to prey on people's stupidity and naivity in order to profit. Things like selling salvation somehow, healing rocks/salts/herbs/etc., magnet bracelets, whatever. He would want it to be legal.

Any thoughts on some really high margin, ethically questionable schemes to legally bilk people out of their money?

If you have a nicely built body you can scam him out of his money for a workout program that you can literally find online for free. Mike Chang of six pack shortcuts does this and he is head first in dough.

This scheme works like a charm:
  1. Gather 100 signatures to get nominated as an election candidate;
  2. Promise a lot of free stuff to folk at the expense of the rich;
  3. Get elected;
  4. Enjoy the ride.

I can let you know how mine works but I need you to send me a $50.00 processing fee.

PM me and we can set it up.

I'm stuck in some jail cell in Mexico and I need to post $5,000 for bail. Send me a PM with your banking details so you can transfer said amount into my bank account, Sliver.

The best "get rich quick" idea I had was one I stole from somebody else. It seems his father had this idea for dog poop bags; one you could velcro onto the dog leash or even your belt to hold the used plastic dog bags while walking your dog. Anyway, my friend wasn't really much of a dog person, so we all gave him some grief over it and he gave me a bunch of those bags; not knowing what to do with them.

I copied the bags and had a whole bunch made up. I had sold some on eBay and a few other places, and then went to a pet expo. I was approached by a pet supply company that wanted to use my idea, and they paid me $50k for it. That was more than I thought I would make, and seeing as it wasn't really my idea anyway- I took the money and ran!

It's not too late to get into buying Pumpkins futures this year, just make certain you sell them before Halloween and not after!
