The "Side Job" Technique
If you look around the Internet, it is very apparent that many (if not most) companies out there are lacking something on their website, or are not up to par with the advertising techniques. It's very likely they are aware of their shortcomings and would be more than happy to get help if someone offered their services.
Many businesses do not know how to get their company website to show up within the natural search engines. You could offer your services in exchange for some cash. There are also a lot of companies that do not know how to create relevant advertising campaigns, or the importance of having multiple landing pages. There are a TON of companies that have loads of spelling mistakes on their sites! Etc..etc..
You can offer to help these companies with their graphics, site navigation, proof-read/editing, marketing etc. Many people will jump at this offer because they have been "meaning to" get it done, but haven't had the time or resources (but often have the money). This is also a great way to create a business relationship and could easily result in long-term income.
If you're browsing a website and find a spelling mistake or grammatical error, send the owner a quick email saying that you'll proof-read their sales page for $25. Now that's easy cash!
We have had people contact us in the past to do jobs such as these and have been willing to pay them. Don't think that just because you do not own a big consulting company or a web design firm companies will not take you on board. It is quite the opposite actually, especially if the price is right. They are often used to being "taken to the cleaners" and overcharged for such services.
Selling T-Shirts (and other items)
Selling shirts... that's right. There are many people out there making a full-time living online simply creating t-shirt designs. There are now sites available to the public such as Caf?press and Zazzle that allow you to open up your own t-shirt store and create your own unique t-shirts.
What you can do is pick a hot topic such as a political campaign, a hot news event, or a world event that is taking place and create funny, motivating, rude, or just cool shirts with a message that is highly relevant to the subject matter. You can then promote your t-shirts and other items via forums, a blog, your web page, or the marketplace within Cafepress or Zazzle and earn money on each item you sell. People will be very inclined to buy these for gifts, pranks, or timeless items.
