One dictionary defines easy money as money obtained with a minimum of effort or money obtained by deception or fraud. This article will focus on money obtained with a minimum effort; although, minimum effort is a somewhat relative term.

[edit] Steps

Name Internet domains: there are really three ways to make money this way.
- Contribute to a service such as pickydomains.com
- Search the Internet for sites with stupid domain names and offer them a cool name for $50.00. Don't tell them what it is until they pay you, and offer them a money-back guarantee if they don't like the name.
- Register some really cool domain names and offer them for sale.
Buy eBay sell Craigslist: research Craigslist to find out how much things sell for. Buy similar things on eBay for less and then sell them on Craigslist or vice versa.
Write eBay descriptions: search for high-ticket items like boats on eBay with poor descriptions. Contact the seller and offer to rewrite his description for a 1% share of the final auction price.
Write software reviews: contact software developers and offer to write a review or testimonial to help them sell their product.
Publish a Web Site: it can be a site that sells something or it can be some kind of free service. It can offer information of real value or it can be just for fun.

Get an easy job that pays well, like working at the library; you get paid for putting books on a shelf!
Buy an old mobile home but rent the land it is on. Then rent the mobile home out to a tenant. You can buy a mobile home for $3,000 and rent it out for $400/mo but don't try to buy too many. One is easy money but two or three gets to be a real job. But, if you do get more than 1, you can easily keep up with all the work by using the money you get to pay people like cleaners, to make the homes worth more money, and then you can charge more.
If you are in school, sell things like gum, sweets, and soda during lunch. Make the prices divisible by 5 (for example, 15 cents per piece of gum or whatever). You could also buy a 16 pack of water and sell it on hot days, especially during summer school. Make sure to sell it for at least 5 cents more than you bought it for. Also, if there is a vending machine that sells a product at your school, sell it for less then the vending machine does.
Get an easy job such as busing at burger king, then you can get a reference and build off of that.
Teach an instrument, or you can try tutoring.
Sell beer at work. (21+ years old)
Join a band and become popular. This is not easy, frequently the profits and rewards are not in the form of money. With hard work one can be successful and be paid well for making music.
Offer to do people's work for them, such as homework, and ask $1.00 per sheet of paper. Tell them that if an answer is wrong, you will take off 5 cents from the price. (mainly to keep reputation up).
Stand at a busy intersection with a sign that says "Will Work for Food". Wear ragged clothes. Mess up your hair. Try to look insane. People will be sorry for you and give you money. You can make thousands of dollars a month this way for free. Note that this is not legal in some cities and not considered honorable by most people.

[edit] Tips

[edit] Warnings

If you're selling things at school, make sure that it is allowed so you don't get in trouble.
