How I Make $2,000 Every Year Without Doing Very Much
- kqr2 18y agoOr you can live in Alaska. In 2008, the oil dividend was a record $3269 per person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund
- jonknee 18y agoAnd they still take the biggest Federal handout per capita... Such a scam.
- noonespecial 18y agoIn Alaska, milk is $7.00/gallon. We need people up there to run the industries but the living is tough. There are scams operated by the government far worse than Alaska.
- steveplace 18y agoShould not the companies that are in the industries then pay higher wages?
- Xichekolas 18y agoWell from their point of view, there is no reason to do so since the government is taking care of it. I'm sure they'd gladly pay what is needed (and still profitable) if it came to that.

- marketer 18y agoThis article is nothing more than an advertisement. The company that makes freelanceswitch also owns the sites listed: FlashDen, AudioJungle, ThemeForest, iStockPhoto
- mjnaus 18y agoThe author clearly mentions this in his post, so I don't see why that is an issue.
- greyman 18y agoI think the issue is that AFAIK it is not that easy to make $2000/y with selling stock photography. Actually, it is a hard, persistent work. So he was propably just lucky, so they picked him up to advertise them.

- Timothee 18y agoI'm probably not enough of a graphic designer or artist in general to do exactly that, but this post made me realize how I should really think of ways to make some money on the side. And also that, just trying can sometimes be enough! What would you see as the closest thing to stock photos for a programmer? You can sell your software of course, but it feels like it needs a lot more investment and that a few hours at night on one small bit of software won't make it.
- hbien 18y agoI set up djangohosting.org, which was just a static site w/o any server side programming. Affiliates are making me about 90/mo. It did take about 8 months for traffic to slowly build up to this point though.
- rms 18y agoYou should set up DNS for www.djangohosting.org also...
- hbien 18y agoThanks! I never even noticed, I'll set it up with a wildcard subdomain.
- sant0sk1 18y agoNice idea! Looking at the links on that page, it seems that WebFaction is the only one which is an affiliate link. Is that the case?
- hbien 18y agoYup, I use WebFaction for all of my hosting. To make more money I should probably add referrals/affiliate links for Dreamhost and Slicehost. All 3 hosts are the most clicked on the site.
- bigbang 18y agoMany investment bankers made 1M every year without doing much
- fallentimes 18y agoOther than massive amounts of TPS reports and ridiculously optimistic financial models.
- jhancock 18y agoThanks for the article. Its good to see people making a "good living". Not everything needs to be get a rich quick deal.
- echair 18y agoSounds like a description of every government employee in a third world country.
