Arbitrage. Find two markets where there's a price disparity you can exploit. Maybe it's CraigsList and Facebook or eBay and Amazon. Buy from one, and sell on the other at a markup. Start small, and scale up from there.

I wouldn't recommend this with less than $100 though. The margins are really tiny, so you might make a profit of maybe... $3 for your $100. Might as well work minimum wage.

If you had $2000 or so to start with, that's a different story.
