Want real money with little effort? The secret is to become a broker. No, I am not talking about a stock or mortgage broker. Those take real training. What I am talking about is a universal broker.
A universal broker does one thing. He (or she) puts together people who want to buy things with people who want to sell them. That's all. They are also called "finders" because they are good at finding stuff. But with the Internet, anyone can find anything with a few short Internet searches.
People who want things, just don't have time to look for them anymore. Let's say you break a shoe lace. You are a busy guy. You don't want to have to find the right shop with the right lace and then waste your day going there, parking, and choosing through stacks and stacks of laces. You want to shoot a quick e-mail saying "Subject: I need a shoe lace" and then have someone send you one. They key is most people are willing to pay for the convenience.
Meanwhile, an online broker knows the right places that have the right material. All he or she does is forward the e-mail, add a few cents to the price, and then for the work of reading and writing an e-mail, they have just made some money. Now, you can make five cents on a shoe lace or $5,000 on a car. Whatever is out there, if you an find it for people who want it, you can have a job as a universal broker.
Some people just go to online auction sites. They buy stuff and then resell it the next day for a slightly higher price. They don't even have the merchandise shipped to them. They resell and have it shipped directly to the buyer. Just before you do this, watch online auctions so you get a real value of the true value of various merchandise and won't get stuck.
