101 Ways to Make a Living
To make a life...
...When there are no jobs
Resell things discarded by others
Look for useful things that have been thrown away that could make you some money. Here are some ideas:
Second-hand clothes, toys, bicycles, household utensils, equipment, etc.
Check the classifieds of the local paper for garage sales and church fairs. Look for things that people
will find useful. Buy only small items if you use public transport. Don't buy electrical appliances
unless you are able to fix them. Insist on testing them first. People like to save money and will buy second
hand things they need, provided that it's in good condition.
Second-hand books.
Visit garage sales, church fairs, auctions and charity shops for cheap second hand books. Start with just a
few and then use some of the profit you make to buy more. You can sometimes get the books for a song by offering
to buy everything instead of just a few. You may get hundreds of books at 50 cents a piece, instead of a few at
R20 a piece. Just ask. You never know how many years they've been storing the books, trying to sell them at
the same annual fair.
Recycle discarded paper, metal, glass, cardboard, tin cans, plastic, old printer cartridges and broken or
outdated electrical gadgets.
Do it yourself or mobilise and support the small army of people who dig into rubbish bins on rubbish
removal days in your neighbourhood. You could also make an arrangement with an office park to collect
all their wasted or shredded paper.
Buy products to re-sell at a profit or on commission.
Here are some ideas:
Sell ZA Difference!
Either buy the "Business in a Box" - and get 100 magazines for yourself and others to sell - or start
off by buying and selling just five at a time until you can afford to buy the "Business in a Box". Details
are in this mag.*
*added note: Look in the ZA Difference magazine which you can buy at some
CNA's, some Spars, and some Exclusive Books stores, or visit the ZA Difference website page about
the business-in-a-box
Buy balloons and twist them into funny shapes.
Ask permission from management, then sell your balloons on the mall.
Buy and sell fruit and vegetables.
Buy fresh produce in bulk at a market. Re-sell at a price just below what the stores charge.
Cupboard doors, window frames as picture frames.
Go to second hand shops and buy old frames, cupboard doors, window frames, etc. Clean them up and use some
paint techniques to create an old, distressed look. Sell them as unusual picture frames to florists,
interior decorators, etc.
