I find this thread to be pretty funny because I've been tossing around a book/assignment idea on how to make money with no real skills. Here are some things that either I've done or know friends that did
Research And focus Groups - these pay anywhere from $50 to $400 dollars for an hour or two of your time. You have to sign up for the focus group institutions, and they will periodically send you "screeners" to see if you qualify for whatever focus group they are trying to run. Not a bad way to make extra cash completely passively. Here is the focus group site that sends me the most invites - http://www.focusgroup.com . The easiest way to get into them - google focus groups for your city (NYC focus groups for me).
Blood and Plasma Donation - you can get about $200 to $300 a month if you donate once or twice a week. Check your local donation centers for more information. The downside is that its impossible to party hard while doing this lol
Sperm Donation - if you are a college educated male, you can make anywhere from $400 to $1000 dollars a month donating sperm. Usually you'd have to pass some tests beforehand, but once you're set its off to cum for money! The catch is that you're paid twice as much if your donation is not anonymous and you agree that your future children can contact you once you turn 18
Craigslist Gigs - if you're bored and have time to kill, you can move boxes or some shit for some quick extra cash
Use your mobile Device as a passive $$ generator - "Apptrailers" on the iphone and android platforms pays you money or gift cards to watch 30 second commercials for apps. Once you watch the trailer, be sure to download the app and fiddle with it to get additional points. Since they do reward you for bringing new users in - please enter my username - drstrangelove - in the referral section if you like this app. I have my iphone sitting next to me at a desk while I do regular work, with the trailers muted lol
Topline - topline is a service that replaces the adds you're served while browsing the web with its own adds, and paying you for browsing. It is installed as a browser plugin. I am not 100% sure of its security yet, thats why I let Google Chrome handle all my sensitive traffic (banking, etc) while I let firefox, with Topline installed, handle all my casual browsing. Like the previous service - there are referrals involved. So if you like topline, please sign up under me with this link - https://www.jointopline.com/?fid=CZ43LFMTSY94 (or just go here if you don't want to give me the referral)
This is all I have researched and backed up for now, I will update this thread as I test more stuff
I do not reccomend the sperm donation. In the states several different states have ruled that sperm donors are still the father of the child and therefore must pay child support. You donate sperm and that nice lesbian coiple can come back later and rape your finances.
