Profiting from Lifehacker.com projects

One of my favorite websites is http://www.lifehacker.com. They have a bunch of little tips, tweaks and do it yourself hacking projects. If you're semi-computer savvy you can pull them off pretty easily and make some profit off your fun.

Here are a few projects that I have done for myself and done for others for profit.

1. Jailbreaking iPhones

This guide is always up to date on how jailbreak the latest iphone version.

It's simple. Basically one-click and you're done. I haven't made any cash off this hack but it has gotten me laid at least half a dozen times [Image: thumb.gif] Girls like to be able to adjust the colors and themes and ringtones of their phones. Just jailbreak and show her how to tweak the settings and bam ...Poosy Paradise.

2. Hacking your Wii to play games from a USB Hard Drive

This tutorial rules!! So you basically buy a 500GB USB hard drive for $60 plus about $8 for a 8GB to 32GB SD card. You copy and paste some software to the card and install it to the Wii. This let's you plug the USB hard drive to the rear USB ports and lets you play Wii games from there instead of the disc.

You can easily get the games from websites like http://www.gamefly.com or from your favorite torrent sites. Once you've stockpiled enough games to fill the hard drive ...it's just a matter of cloning the drive over and over on your PC.

So for about $70 cost and about an hour of my time to set it up for them ....I hit them for anywhere from $125 to $200. They get about 200 Wii games. Great bargain.

And if you get good at it ...you can get emulators of all the old video game systems and ROMs of the games. Just copy and paste to the SD card. Put it back in the Wii.

So my customers get:
200 Wii games
Original Nintendo Emulator and all the original NES games.
Super Nintendo Emulator and all the original games.

$100 profit for an hour of your time and best of all ....it's all copy and paste [Image: thumb.gif]

3. Build a Hackintosh (clone of an Apple computer)

A Hackintosh is a clone of a Apple computer that runs on cheap and more powerful PC hardware.

Follow one of the build guides and get one up and running. Clone the hard drive to an image file and save it.

Next time you have to build one ...all you have to do is buy all the same parts and restore the backup image to the new computer.

Hit them for $100 for your time on top of the cost of the parts. An hour or two at the most. And they get a comparable clone for easily half the price of a real Mac.

Nice. Where do I find clients?

If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

Friends. Word of mouth.

I usually hook up close friends for free. They bring me other people that I charge full price. It grows from there.

Never thought of building hackintosh. Imma read it. It sounds good.

Apple products are very overpriced. I have a Mac Pro which costed $5,000+ and I have a windows that costed $1,000. The one that runs on Windows performs much better and has higher benchmarks.
