I have stress.
 

Today I found out I have to make $5k extra by the end of july. Now, if I had to make $5k by the end of july, it wouldn't be a problem obviously. But I have to increase my income more than $1k month. ..and the downside is, I will NOT take any risks, so I don't wanna invest any capital, since if I fuck that up, I need to make even more per month. Any bright ideas (I started to work for a bit longer already :)) Won't sleep tonight. But I heavily doubt my design ventures increase THAT much. I already cough up designs almost as fast as I can.

Other options I've considered, but turned down after a few thoughts:
pimping my gf.
pimping my dog.
whoring myself.
Selling crack.
Selling stolen goods.
Grand theft auto's (look above).
honest work, like a real job.

None of those really sound good. Anything you'd like to say to help me?

..or I could just stay home, and not entertain you at internext. But I don't think any of us would want to miss that.. now would we? Even if I pass that up I still have to make a few grand extra.

Just send us some traffic, it will get you way over $5k a month :Graucho :Graucho

You need to buy my new book "How to make millions selling short ICQ UINs"

I said : I won't invest money :glugglug
So, I won't buy your book. Can I get it from kazaa? :winkwink:

Cut expenses first. You can't depend on making more money.

I don't have expenses, except for my server rent.. and that's pretty much non-negotiable. :)
I haven't bought content in a while either.

What about non-businss expenses? Anything you can do, to make it easier? I mean, stuff like conventions can go, right? Cheaper booze, that sort of thing.

...you gonna cry like a bitch or take it nice and slow (s.c) :glugglug

Internext can't go. I have never been to one, and I feel the pressure inside me to make an appereance. Cheaper booze.. hmm, I doubt that'll save much. I already buy..uh.. from somewhere not quite a shop. :Graucho
I heavily doubt I can save a grand per month by taking a bus instead of driving my car. :1orglaugh
Damn this sucks. Well.. I'll figure something out. Maybe http://www.savetgf.com :glugglug

If you loan me your car until July, that should save you a lot on petrol.

I'm speechless.

Do you need to be making 5k extra <b>per month</b> by the end of July, or is this a once off thing?

What can I say. Every now and then I have a really great idea.

Luckily no, just 5k BY the end of july. So a bit over k per month. Not impossible my any means. But I'm looking for other ideas besides those I mentioned earlier :glugglug

If only I could come up with ideas like that.. I wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. :thumbsup

How about taking on more design work and subcontracting it? Troll the newb boards.. TNB, VNWR.. find someone who is hungry and willing to build gallery templates and shit on the cheap.

You have some pull with GFY'ers, tell them if they do a good job you'll give them positive exposure here.

Why the need? Is it something you could borrow for? Or put off spending money until later to make it work?

What the hell am I doing giving advice. I need about $5000 pretty much immediately, and I don't have a solution for myself!

Hmm.. I'm sorta against subcontracting designs, might get ugly (remember hungryman). An option would be of course, either rising my prices a bit, but I could lose customers. Or, just work my fucking ass off. I know I could make my working habits better.. like, not posting @ gfy would save me atleast 50$/day. But I can't give up such activity. :glugglug

I don't borrow money.

Let's play Punto Banco ? Wait the right moment and jump in. ?1000 per deal x 5 (+-) and you have it. Easy?

What the hell is Punto Banco?
Not that it sounds very attractive..

You can play it on casinos, try Ramada Casino at Helsinki. As far as I know they have the one and only Punto Banco table in Finland.

But don't take my wisdom seriously. I lost all of my available cash few weeks ago on Punto Banco table and I did it again yesterday. Have to wait until monday... more cash!!! :2 cents:

Lol. My idea of not investing money kinda rules out gambling.
Thanks for the idea though.
