    Earning money in between contracts...

    Hi all,
    I just want to get some ideas of what you do to keep on earning in those 'lean' periods in between contracts. I have had the experience of being out of work for a month or two...and it is not easy...

    One thing I do that has been working is to use Twitter to earn. I have found a good method to create 'niche' followings based on my interests and generate money that way. Check it out at http://www.theresoneborneveryminute.com

    really? I doubt that.

    I plan on being a rent boy. I hope I have no bench time.

          I wouldn't waste money on get rich quick schemes, just try the old fashioned
          way of learning a skill during your day job and using it on a plan b on weekends/evenings.

            I have a new book out titled "Pondlife's tips on winning the lottery". Give us $97 and I'll send you an autographed copy. Better be quick, only 5 copies left.

              i'd remove the link in case someone on the bench signs up on it.

                Maybe I should do something like that on my Twitter stream?
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  I have found that a good way to make money is to spam forums with a referrer link to a crappy product

                    To all the haters...I never said in my post that you would earn millions...I am a contractor too. This is only for 'income on the side' or 'residual income'...
