Ask HN: How to make $100 today?

Most people who make $100 a day aren't going to come out and tell you exactly what to do. But the simplest method is to come up with, or sell a product with at least $100 profit and then try to make one sale a day, like I said, pretty simple.

I used to do it with facebook pages. I would check out local businesses (any city) that could go for a custom facebook page. I had some templates that I could customize really quickly and would throw up a mock page. If I could get through to the decision maker and show them the example, I was about 20% successful in a sale. Considering the costs were just my time, I was easily profiting $100+ a day by making 10-20 calls and emails a day.

I have another method that is even easier, in case you can't make facebook pages. It's all about arbitrage. Find a person who needs a service (web design, coding, etc) and then pay someone else less to do it. I do this all the time with freelancer.com and odesk for large projects, netting thousands of dollars in the middle, just for overseeing a project.

I recommend you keep it simple and small though, at least at first. There is a website, fiverr.com that has people who list jobs they will do for $5. I have resold some of these jobs for well over $100.

I don't really want to give away my best methods on here and the best gigs, but msg me if you really need some help. I would recommended combining the sales process in my post above with the outsourcing method of this one.

Good luck.

Would you please message me too? I've been struggling with this for a while, and can't seem to get any traction.
