What are some good ways to make money?

My friend says she knows a guy who made a million a year designing websites but he is obviously a genius with connections. My uncle makes $400 a hour painting art but he is a doctor which might be the reason people buy his art, if a college drop out painted the exact same thing, he might only make $40 an hour cause people don’t know or like him. My cousin makes millions giving speeches but she looks like a fashion model, if an ugly person gave exactly the same speech, they might make $80,000 a year.

A person can learn how to machine parts and then buy a CNC router, 3d printer, etc. for $10-30k, get some contracts, and go into business.

You could always become a driving instructor, if you meet the requirements. They make quite a bit.

Simples...

Going from your examples there, it depends on how you define "good money" I mean, you can start picking up over 120k a year with benefits if you're willing to work swing shifts in a chemical plant. On my end I don't like not sleeping, not getting laid, and not seeing my family so much, so they can keep it.

Another one I made decent money from was just running wire. No one wants to do it, low voltage or AC current. It's a pain in the ass to run track, dig ditches, and pull wire. you can pick up contracts and hire people on 1099 contracts to keep expenses down, work your ass off as long as you feel up for it, and get into something else when you burn out. Cleaning up job sites is another, be an ES&H manager for a company going out of compliance if you're willing to go to jail, so on and so forth.

You need to learn a skill that is in demand but is also matched to your interests and talents. Think about things you enjoy and are good at - then see if there is a market for any of them.

a good way to make money is to find that good way and then to do that. We will be wrong if we have found a way to make money, but we don't do that.
