How can I make $1,000?

I make good money with content generation on websites using adsense to monetize the work and revshares to add extra bits to my totals. However I believe that esconsult1 is correct. His three basics are stable places to start. Find the going rate for the GeekSquad and undercut the basic stuff that they do and overprice the stuff that is more “pie in the sky”. Learn about internet forensics or get into adware/spyware/malware removal as well as basic trojan cleaning, minor worm killing, etc. Computers all over the US have these issues and you can upsell a client who is doing something “bread and butter” with a quick scan in the right directories to get the extra “pie in the sky” service.

College students can get a lot of software for a fraction of its retail price. If you sign up for a community college class you should qualify for this pricing.

There is also the open source route. You can install Linux, gcc, emacs, etc. without spending a single red cent.

Good luck! My only stint at being self-employeed was doing mailing lists for bicycle shops before personal computers were so common. I never made much money but at least it paid for some of my equipment.

great choice in career(im even tinking of being a programmer),i dont really know how you could make money though, i guess you could get a job for a while until you ern enough cash.
