Start a blog, create a course or two for something like PluralSight or Lynda.

Check out Simple Programmer.

As others have said, this is more an investment than a direct payment... but it will pay off.

Sounds like he/she wants cold hard cash. But if an investment is on the table then writing some open source is a wonderful way to go. I wrote some and have a few hundred thousand downloads, a few million page views (for the manual) and it is amazing the sort of businesses that like that on a CV. It's opened up a lot of doors for me.
