Enormous Ice Crusted Mountain For Sale in Wyoming

The state of Wyoming, which, I am told, is kind of near California, has been having trouble paying its bills, and is planning to sell one of its many mountains to the highest bidder. Wyoming's only natural resources are mountains and the snow that is constantly clinging to them, and they are hoping to make the most out of these resources in order to pay for their state education budget. This is true. Read the news item here.

The mountain that is currently on the auction block is called Grand Teton. If you've heard of it, its because Grand Teton is one of the most photographed and beautiful mountains in the world, up there with Fuji, Kilimanjaro, and Rainier.

Grand Teton is the big one in the middle

I don't know who is going to buy this mountain, or what they will do with it, but I would guess that lots of ski lodge developers are interested, and I suppose some mining companies are probably interested. In any case, this is an example of making money off something that you already own.

Make Money by Being a Corporate Greeter

If you've ever been to an out of town business conference, you probably were greeted by someone when you arrived at the hotel conference room, or, if you are important enough, they may have met you at the airport. In many cases these are contract workers who work as corporate greeters. They are meant to make clients and potential customers feel welcomed, and they can make good money.

Greeters for major corporations can make $3,000 to $6,000 per contract, usually only working for a few hours total. If you want to be a greeter you have to be physically attractive, have a good voice, and be friendly. These jobs are sporadic, so you probably won't be able to make a living off them, but you can certainly supplement your income this way.

Other greeters work at grocery stores and movie theaters. These people make considerably less money, but they don't have to be good looking, friendly, or anything. In fact, I think those traits are frowned upon.

Breaking News: Sun Fails to Explode! Supernova Insurance Prices Hit Bottom

A few days ago scientists were convinced that the sun was about to erupt and completely annihilate the solar system. The Howtomakeadollar Insurance Group saw this as a golden opportunity to sell supernova pet insurance, which has been one of our lesser known insurance lines for a long time. As with supernova scares of the past, the market reacted very favorably to our press release (read it here).

However, it seems that the sun did not explode, and our solar system was not instantly sublimated into a dusty interstellar nebulum. For this reason, Howtomakeadollar forecasts a relatively quiet market for the next several billion years until the next supernova scare flares up. However, scientists unanimously believe that the sun will someday explode. For this reason we plan to continue offering our Supernova Pet Insurance policies to any interested parties at a low rate.

This policy will guarantee your pet's comfort, long term care, and survival in the event of a supernova. The policy will allow you to rest peacefully, knowing that even if you, your planet, and your solar system are decimated by a supernova, your dear pet Muffy will be provided with food, water, and, most importantly, Love for the duration of her life.
Supernova Pet Insurance prices have fallen through the floor. Now is the best time to ensure that your pet will be safe even if you die in a fiery galactic explosion.

Policies are $1 per pet.

Your card will look like this, with your pet's name

Who will take care of your pet when the sun explodes?

EASY $25!

Howtomakeadollar recently made the easiest $25 we have ever made!

How did we get this awesome $25 American Express Gift card???  Easy, one of us worked for the same company for 5 years!  Easy, easy, easy!  It only took us 10,400 hours to make an extra $25... but it has definitely been worth it.  $0.0024 per hour is not a bad bonus.  We can't wait to see what we get after 10 years!

On a side note, American Express is not taken at every store or restaurant like the amazing VISA.  It was rather disappointing the day I received the gift card and tried to use it to buy my lunch and was rejected because they did not take American Express.  On top of disappointing, it was embarrassing that I had to borrow money to pay for my lunch because I didn't have any other money.

Junk mail that can make you rich

Somehow I got on the March of Dimes mailing list.  March of Dimes sends out solicitations several times a year.  Most junk mail is worthless.  The March of Dimes "junk mail" that I just received came with $.10!  Thats right, the mailing had a dime attached to it.  Pretty sweet.  Easy money just for being on someone's mailing list.  So hurry up and add yourself to their mailing list so one day you too can open up your mailbox and find FREE MONEY!

Bacon Prices on the Rise

A few weeks ago Howtomakeadollar wrote that the world's best business idea would be a bacon delivery truck that drives around playing bacon-themed music and selling fresh, sizzling bacon. No one has disputed this claim, and it is unlikely that anyone ever will, because bacon is awesome. You can read the original blog here.

Well, just to demonstrate my point, bacon prices are now about 50% higher than they were last summer. For real. This is a news item in the Wall Street Journal. Read about it here. This means that you'd be looking at major profits right now if you had taken our advice in starting a bacon business.

Now think about this in terms of the broader economy. Bacon profits are way up. Meanwhile, cars, houses, banks, and newspapers are down. These are supposed to be some of the strongest, most reliable long term industries in the world. Here is a chart that shows what would happen if you invested money in bacon vs the rest of the market over the past year.

Bacon is going through the roof!

Who Will Take Care of Your Pets When the Sun Explodes?

Who will take care of your pets when the sun explodes?

You may have heard that scientists fully expect the sun to explode sometime later this evening or tomorrow. This is true. Howtomakeadollar is not lying. Read about here.

Ok, so now that you have read about it and have come to grips with this Tragic New Reality, you are no doubt trying to get your priorities straightened out for the next few hours. Do you have a lot of errands to run? Are you in the middle of some important stuff that can't wait? Maybe you were hoping to make some last minute fantasy baseball trades? If so, then you don't really have time to worry about the fate of your pets during the Supernova of 2010 do you?

A supernova is coming. Are your pets prepared?

Fortunately Howtomakeadollar offers Supernova Pet Insurance. If you are vaporized into a puff of carbon by a supernova, or are otherwise left incapacitated by a supernova, Howtomakeadollar will see to it that your pets are well fed and watered as they live out their final days on the wisps of smoke emitted by the annihilation of the solar system as it darkens, cools and slowly collects itself into an interstellar gas cloud.

You probably think that such a policy would cost billions of dollars, but Supernova Pet Insurance doesn't have to be expensive. For a limited time Howtomakeadollar is issuing Supernova Pet Insurance for $1.00 per pet. This is an absolute steal. Will you do that for your pet? Think about how Muffy will feel when she is blinded by a searing solar flare an instant before the entire world catches on fire and is condensed into a ball of metallic gasses. Without Supernova Pet Insurance she will feel frightened, hopeless, and alone.

For $1 you can get an official Howtomakeadollar Supernova Pet Insurance Policy. Your policy will guarantee your pet's safety and survival in the event of a supernova.
