5 Proven Insane Internet Money Making Ideas
1~Be A Professional Beggar
This must be the easiest way to earn from the internet. There was this lady called Bosnak residing in the glamorous New York. And like the other high-end women, Bosnak loves Prada and Gucci. Having those fancy, exorbitant bags dangling around was not a problem for her since she had a 6-figure monthly paycheck at her disposal. The problem started when she was fired and she had a US$20k credit card debt.
She is not going to do this.
This lazy but smart woman didn't want to find another job to settle her outstanding debt. She certainly doesn't want to stand on the streets of New York begging for money with her Prada bag. So the internet serves as her remedy to beg without having to leave the comfort of her house. So she set up a website and tell them her "plight"!

Nice packaging.
This Irish dirt is shipped from a warehouse in Long Island. People are paying US$10 for one pound of the dirt which is dig up from a field in Cahir, Ireland.
