OP if you want to make money with computer, you have to say "yes, I will fix your computer, here are my rates" and take it from there

you might have to get up from your PC for part of this

other day I bopught a new box for my mother. reused her keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.

I was thinking about offering a service like that. "call me", I would say.. let me come around.. let me give you a new pc, and I will use what I can from what you've got.. I will try to get the system close to what you had, I will copy old poo poo to the new system..

in all seriousness what kind of waivers and poo poo do home visit CJs need to give?

i mean im more than happy to work doing labour poo poo, its just that it pays less than half of my pharmacist wages so I would always have to do it on a temp basis and continually look for pharmacist work

im not the kind of person who could take a fulltime job, lie about constantly being looking for better work and then just leave. i might be a loser, but im not a piece of poo poo. well I am a piece of poo poo but only so far

online arbitrage. basically buy stuff on amazon and sell on ebay and vice versa. work with a company off alibaba to make a private label of some regular good and then sell it too

The old reseller trick. I tried this with RAM once.. in the end I made like $5 of each stick and the entire exercise basically allowed me to upgrade my ram for free. I can't imagine what kind of volume you'd need to do to replace an actual job

what happened to your game OP?

also you make some p. sick renderings these days. I'm not sure how people actually make money of these things but you've defiantly got some really cool skills there :)

dude I watched this tonight and surprised myself with how many things and aspects I had created for the game.. shame content creation is hard

lampey posted:

in the us there are sites like bulq.com where you can buy whole pallets of liquidated stuff to resell. in nz there is probably an equivalent.

ecommerce, drop ship stuff like homebrewing supplies from china

online transcription. all you need is a computer and one of those foot pedals and you get paid by the minute or word

writing erotica

customer service/telemarketer for something like a donation drive or amazon

marketing/website design/spammer

if you have specialized skills and experience you could be a CPA/book keeper from anywhere. programmer, really any it job, vba macro maker. trucking/taxi dispatcher.


could you learn to prepare taxes and then advertise online? does nz require some tax related training or can anyone just jump in?

the pharmacy around where i live... kinda sucks. when I worked there is was ok, staff had been around for ages. now all our staff are of a race my xenophobic city doesn't like and apparently they are slow. I could dominate with my quirky brand of faux-sexual advances when dispensing medication.

dude though if I am being completely honest with myself, if I owned a pharmacy I would probably end up with a substance abuse problem. a lovely thought for sure
