- MortenK 14y agoWell the article ain't really about how to make a quick buck. It's about how being focused on the details due to deep knowledge, can make it easy to overlook the simple things. Hence the actionable advice is "when you are stuck, ask an outsider".
- user24 14y agoYou want to make a quick buck? Hammer out some freelance jobs on odesk.com, freelancer.com, etc. You can spend a week's worth of evenings plus the weekend and net a good few hundred dollars. The advice I just gave, while accurate, isn't very valuable because it doesn't scale. I've done it a few times, bought myself a nice holiday last year with the proceeds. But it's not something that grows, you have to keep grinding away to create a recurring income. I preferred it when my websites regularly produced £60/month in adsense revenues without me having to lift a finger. (That not-lifting-finger part only lasted about a year though. Now I barely make £6/month because I've neglected my sites).

- user24 14y agoI made over $500 in a couple of weeks (purely part time). It's just a case of picking your jobs carefully.
