What's the best way to make some money while in university? Campus jobs aren't taxed but I'm not trying to become a wage slave again. I'm working towards a BS in computer science and have decent experience in HTML, CSS, Java, and C. I was thinking of starting a porn site that uses affiliate links to direct people to other sites.
How much money can I expect to make from this and is it a good idea in general? It seems very doable and I can steal 100% of my content because they will just be pictures that redirect to other sites. Any other ideas to make side money? Game development seems fun but definitely not profitable, while ebay seems profitable but a lot of effort.
Bonus for naming my site and picking a theme
if you"re a good developer you can offer your services into fiverr.
Creating website is a good thing, but remember that you will NEVER earn money without traffic ! So before starting any kind of website, growth your audience into social media first.

You're suggesting I make a porn twitter account then promote my site? Not a bad idea, and not sure what niche I could fill in fiverr. I have decent programming skills but nothing that would stand out as exceptional.
>>1079532
porn isn't profitable enough to be worth your effort.
find a better niche
i dont know much about economics, but this just seems like a really, really, REALLY bad idea.

I propose ending the ethanol subsidies and funneling that money to cleantech instead.
>>1078679
I don't think he will be able to do it.
>>1078679
It's not a terrible idea, but it might operate better if it were a kind of oil price stabiliser, so the cheaper oil gets the higher the tax, and as prices go up the levy decreases. Still, like >>1078719 says, the republicans in congress won't pass anything proposed by Obama. Anything. It doesn't matter if he suggested doing away with taxes altogether, they'd still block it.

Im finally seeing success with my Youtube channel, so im about to monetize it.
When creating an AdSense account, should I use a separate gmail account from my Youtube gmail account? (like this)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz36wf2KNTc
Also, I remember the guy that was here saying how he liked to build empires and was making tons of Youtube money and doubted on my idea, well guess what, im growing fat as fuck, already past the 10k subscriber mark. Let's see how much I can scale this thing to get more kids liking my videos.
>>1074763
yeah, create a separate account and use that account for adsense only, if a meme e-mail account is going to be an essential step in your cash flow you might as well
>>1074763
good job m8 keep at it. Don't forget about growing other social media accounts too to market your youtube. Like twitter, facebook etc. Bots can be your friends here.

hey /biz/ I'm currently about to release a small project I've been working on where I sell the basic code framework and a small guide for collecting emails on a webpage, I'm no expert so I'm going to literally sell it as-is for around £4.99 each.
How do I get traffic for this sort of thing, cold calling companies? is that even legal in the UK?
How can I expand on this operation, note that I'm no expert in coding but am willing to put in a bit of time to create a sellable product like the one I'm about to release.
>>1079357
Is the company supposed to provide their own servers/computers to host your web scraper? Or are you doing that?
You have a shit product, and you can't sell it because it's worthless. I doubt your guide is any better than just looking up a free guide where they can learn it for free.
If you want to monetize on your plebian talents, make a blog or YouTube channel where you explain these retardedly simple projects and cash in on ads.

Hey guys
so i finally after about a year of applying to lockheed i was noticed. which was a win in itself as they really seem to do their homework even before contacting somebody.
i had a phone interview and passed.
just did a pretty intense in-person group interview.
it's for subcontracts.
i believe if i get it this job i should be making close to 60 grand a year. i also really like that they do a 9/80 workweek, which is every other friday off. so i could have time to pursue other interests like investing.
I live at home with...

are you even certain that you will have 40k left at the end of the year? And you should move out from your parents house, makes a far more professional impression (and also increases chances of gf).
leftovers should go into a savings account, or invest it into funds yourself if youre experienced at it.
>guise what should I do with this money I haven't made from a job I don't have
>>1079204
so? i have a good chance of getting it and want to start thinking about it. what's wrong with that?
>>1079203
no you're right probably at least 30 though since i don't do a whole lot and i plan on staying home till 29-30 at least, one, to help out my mom, two, to start investing.
im already pretty close to the facility as well and i do have a girlfriend.
I read, that deflation is a looming global threat.
Progressing this issue could help save your assets and your asses.
Because this problem has potential to induce dangerous situations.
And I thought about it.
Conclusion: A big part of the problem is overproduction of economic goods and a big part of the solution is to temporarily shift focus towards production of important less-economic goods.
If the thread persists and some interest grows, I can elaborate.
Stfu, faggot
Most of the world right now is experiencing inflation. The US is one of the few exceptions right now. While this makes imports cheaper for consumers, it make exporting goods more costly and will hurt trade on our end.
>>1072760
I agree.
The deflation threat is only a threat and avoided by central banks' interventions, for example via quantitative easing.
I should have added a link to a news overview:

This is a caterham 7. A light,fast and legendary track car. They cost around 60k. It may seem stupid to you, but its my dream to own one.
I've got 20k in the bank. What would you suggest would be the best possible way for me to get one? besides doing illegal shit.

thats the thing. here in the US the market for caterhams is low, very low. so low that caterham basically has the used market on lockdown. im not gonna find one of these used unless i meet some sort of caterham club
How exactly does one find a low-tier/minimum wage position?
I am looking for a job before I go to University and I'm struggling to find anything. There seems to be a lot of competition for even the lowest of tier jobs.
I have noticed many of them ask you to apply online now, is this worthwhile or is the chance of getting an interview this way nearly impossible?
>>1078031
Apply online bruh. If you know how to get around the filters put in place by HR in the online application process, getting a call for an interview is pretty manageable. Also certain positions are in more demand than others.
If you think you can hack it, look into overnight stocking. There's a night shift differential, meaning you make a buck or two more an hour for working overnight, and they are always hiring because turnover is so high. It's a shitty job, but if you're just doing it short term...

If you like dealing with people: print out some resumes, walk around your town going into stores and restaurants handing them out to the managers in them saying you're looking for an entry level job. Be dressed reasonably neatly but you don't have to be in a suit.
If you prefer an office environment: apply to every temp agency in your town / city online. Take their tests for word processing, Excel etc. (if you can't score 100% on these kill yourself).
>>1078041
Basically this. Personally, I've had great success early on with temp agencies. Try Kelly Services, Randstad, etc. Give them a call, send them your resume, dress reasonably well, seem eager to work and not like you want to kill yourself. It's much easier than just shooting applications everywhere online, because that is shit. Before using an agency, I got a grand total of one interview (from fucking Burger King) by sending out my resume and applying online. Through the temp agency, I've gotten a bunch,...

My question is, what age would it become too difficult to find a job and start a career if my business ventures fail? I'm giving everything but if I can't make it work I need to know when to throw in the towel.

I can't stress enough how severely retarded of an idea that is. I'm very moderate but I might even vote for a Republican as right wing as Trump if Bernie gets the nomination.
When did you guys realize that everyone is an asshole only looking out for their own interests and would screw anyone over for their own gain?
I used to think that most people had morals and honesty and that it was only a minority of people who were heartless and didn't care about anyone but themselves, but I think I've realized now that it's the opposite.
It's a strange realization that most people would screw anyone over behind closed doors and that fear of punishment is the only thing stopping them from doing so.
