There are a million experts spewing out a ton of crap on how to make money. First of all you won’t make it through your blog. Guy Kawasaki make a bit over $3000 last year, and he is a king pin. Now you can buy that cardboard box home you always dreamed of! Besides, it looks like this whole blogging spectacle will be moving more and more towards sites like Facebook where it’s much easier to connect with people, and the bloggin A-list bullshit is already dying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Want to make a fortune? Guy Kawasaki interviewed a few Internet millionaires including the PlentyofFish.com guy who is pulling in 5 to 6 million dollars a year on advertising alone. Bastard! Here is a guy who kept getting laid off in Vancouver so decided to launch a free dating service. The guy who created Hot or Not is also making a tidy fortune. He says he started the site as a joke. Lesson learned? Never underestimate your stupid ideas. Got it? So get that robot pancake flipper out of the basement and sell it to the world!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Selling stuff on Ebay can be very lucrative. Here is a hint. You know those old LP’s that Grandpa has in the attic? Well, the Japanese are coo-coo puffs about old LPs, and will pay thousands of dollars for some of them. I had this discussion with an avid record collector the other day. Those crazy Japanese - if it isn’t anime cartoon sex, its old LP’s. Go figure.

Ask for a raise. Raises don’t come marching in your door with intentions of snuggling into your pocket. In the real world you’ve gotta get worked up, create a resume of accomplishments and demand a raise. Even yelling helps because some bosses are as deaf as a dead tree trunk when it comes to their employees. Most are already sucking up to their own boss so badly that they’ve created a severe lack of oxygen and the air smells like dung. So take the bull by it’s something and go ask for that raise!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Recap. Don’t dismiss any of your drugs or beer inspired million dollar ideas. Check out what the Japanese like to buy other than tea cups, bondage rope and raw tuna. Go ask for that raise. It can’t hurt.

Guy Kawasaki has also pulled out all stops of his famous Art Of The Start into his Truemors. Result looks like a joke, not like a great service made by someone who teach people how to achieve success. 12,000 bucks for Wordpress installation, haha =)
