eJury provides an attorney the opportunity to "pre-try" the case before it goes to trial in front of an actual jury at the courthouse. Cases at the courthouse are usually tried to juries of 12 people. At eJury, each case is tried to a minimum of 50 people. This provides the attorney with a tremendous amount of feedback which he/she will use to establish a settlement value, find strengths and weaknesses in the evidence, learn "public" attitudes, improve jury selection, discover the most effective arguments.
eJury is open to residents in all 50 states. The number of cases available for participation will vary greatly depending on your residence. Jurors living in major metropolitan areas receive more cases for participation than jurors living in rural areas.
For each verdict rendered,
eJurors are paid $5 - $10 depending on the length of the
case. The amount to be paid will be shown at the
top of each case. You certainly won't get rich
serving as an eJuror, but just one case a week would
probably pay for your Internet access. Payments are
made via PayPal.
I discussed this in an earlier post. Check out The Hair Trader if you are interested in selling your hair. To find a blood bank near you to sell plasma, go to BloodBanker.com. Call your local fertility clinic to inquire about selling eggs or sperm.

In a 2003 paper (New Evidence on the Interest Rate Effects of Budget Deficits and Debt), Thomas Laubach, the US Federal Reserve’s senior economist, calculated the impact on long-term interest rates of rising fiscal deficits and soaring national debt. Applying his assumptions to the recent spike in the US fiscal deficit and national debt, 10 year bond rates will double from their current 3.5%.
I showed that in this earlier post and I explained how to play it!
TBT up $4 since last Friday while TMV is up $10 since last Friday (since I'm a risk taker, I own TMV instead of TBT)
Work when it's convenient for you by signing up MTURK.COM. The website, run by Amazon.com, pays a few cents to a few dollars for small tasks that fulfill a larger job.
My strategy on Mechanical Turk is to perform the tasks that take the shortest time to complete - like a quick survey, or rating a video. I have already received $1.67 from filling in bonus surveys sent to me via email!
It is possible to make lots of money trading the same stock over and over again, especially if it is a “channeling” stock. Back on Feb 10th, I had two stock picks. I’ve been trading the TBT, with a buy between $44-$45 and sell between $47-$48. As the chart shows, this is working great! You come out even better if you don’t pay commissions.
1. Offer Seasonal Work to Your Neighborhood and/or Surrounding Area
Use your time off from your main job to offer your seasonal labor services to your neighbors and, time-permitting, residents in close-by neighborhoods. Seasonal work includes raking leaves, mowing lawns, or shoveling snow.
The best way is to blanket your target neighborhood with 200-400
flyers, offering your services for an appropriate amount per lawn,
driveway, etc. depending upon its size and the amount of work involved. To expedite
results, you can grab your rake (or shovel or lawn-mower) and just go
door-to-door, offering your services directly.
2. Call a Local Contractor
Find a local contractor and see if you can hire yourself out as a day laborer. This is a particularly viable option, if you're the "handy-man" type. There are probably quite a few contractors in your area looking for day laborers to help them build and/or repair houses, decks, fences, etc.
3. Sell Some Stuff
Go through your house, attic, garage, etc. and pick out EVERYTHING that you are willing to part with. Then, depending on the weather and time of year, put signs up around the community that announce your yard sale.
If you have more time, go to eBay, register, and list the items
online.
4. Offer to Distribute Stuff
Contact your local newspaper to see if they have need for a neighborhood distributor. If so, you're in luck.
Don't stop there, though. Use your phone book and/or the local Chamber of Commerce to research businesses (retail or restaurant being the best) that market to the general community. Call them up and offer to distribute flyers for them -- for a price.
BONUS TIP: See if you can combine Tactics 1 and 4 (handing out flyers for yourself AND for these businesses - at the same time). Don't forget to get my money seminars!
