Make money by keeping a list

Scenario:
You're laying in bed thinking about all of the brilliant ways you can make money... and then it comes to you...  THE BEST IDEA OF YOUR LIFE!  You think to yourself "this is such a good idea I'll never forget it."  And you go to sleep happy that you will soon be a millionaire.  You wake up in the morning and as you're taking a shower you remembered that before you fell asleep you had THE BEST IDEA OF YOUR LIFE... but the problem is: you can't remember what that idea was!

Don't let this scenario happen to you.  You never know when inspiration will hit you.  So when it hits you, be prepared.  KEEP A LIST.  I recommend keeping a ipod or iphone with you at all times so you can add all of your ideas to a list.  But if you don't have an ipod or iphone and don't want to spend money on cool technology, all you need is a pen and paper.  Write down all of your ideas, you never know which one will be THE ONE!

Borrow a dollar

Looking for a quick way to make a dollar.  I think this is H2MAD's (howtomakeadollar) easiest and quickest idea yet.  Here's the step by step instructions:

1.  Locate person
2.  Ask to borrow a dollar
3.  When they give you a dollar, say thank you and put it in your pocket.

It's that simple.  It takes all of about 30 seconds.  If you end up doing this full time you will be making $120 an hour.  That works out to almost $250,000 a year.  All for "borrowing" a dollar.

This idea works best in front of vending machines.  You will probably have a higher success rate using people you know.  People are a lot more willing to let a friend "borrow" a dollar than some random person they have never met before.

Give a Penny, Take a Penny

At most stores and restaurants, they have an amazing thing in front of the cash register... Free Money!  They usually call it "give a penny, take a penny."  Here's the business plan: Take a Penny!  Thats it, just take a penny.  Do it a couple of times and you'll have a dollar.  If you have a little kid, get them to take a penny as well.  No one gets mad at cute little kids and you'll get a dollar twice as fast.  If they didn't want people to take the pennies they wouldn't tell you to "take a penny."  Sometimes you can get lucky and even find a nickel. 

Free Money

I don't know if you've seen it or not... but people literally throw away money everyday.  At most malls in America, they walk up to a fountain and throw money in it.  For some reason, people feel throwing money away gives them good luck.  Sure, it might only be a quarter here, a dime there, a nickel there... but it all adds up.  Millions of dollars every year.  So next time you are at the mall and you see a fountain with money in it.  Just reach in and grab it.  I'm about 78% sure the "finders keepers" rule applies.  I've never seen a sign that says "Money in Fountain is property of this mall, do not take."  As long as no such sign is posted...  you're good to go.  But, make sure you say "finders keepers, losers weepers" so everyone knows all you are doing is recovering lost money and not stealing.  Don't worry, you'll be okay.  Within about 30 seconds you will be $1 richer.
