Quick! How can I make a couple bucks before the end of the month?
February 27, 2008 2:52 PM   Subscribe

If I can prove I made a couple bucks by the end of the month, I get $120.


Paypal payment (I have an account) and a true story of how it was earned would suffice as proof.
Suffice it to say parents are involved ;-). Technically it could be $0.01 but I'm afraid they might balk at that.

The best suggestion wins a prize :). Anything I can give over the internet, short of $120. First working suggestion gets a prize too, if they want. Something small I can give over the internet.


Or maybe I could write a receipt for a payment transaction (me->you) for someone here? (What movie's that from again?)

I think you'd have to pay me first, to show you hired me, though.

Don't you have anything you could sell on eBay?

Maybe you could scam a bunch of people on a community website into giving you a buck or two and then having some kind of paypal receipt to document it. Heck, if you find enough suckers there, the $120 might be chump change by the time you're through!

Sell some junk on ebay, dude. It's trivially easy.

As an alternative you could try getting a job.

Sperm Bank? If you're creative and imaginative you might be able to combine that with Stynxno's suggestion and turn it into a two-for-one.

Send me a private message.

I will send you $2 via Paypal and a "true story."

When you get your $120 you send me back more than $2.

Everyone's a winner.

I have a great idea. First, you give me $50 of your own money for my time. Then, after I receive it, I'll send $10 to your paypal account and will make up a story for you. With the $120 you get, you still come out $80 ahead!

Day laborer. Google day labor in your area to find areas where day laborers gather for work.

Um, get a job? Why do you need to even ask this question?

I'll PayPal you a dollar if you leave Metafilter and never return.
