I decided to build a top ten list after reading James Altucher's How to be the Luckiest Person Alive ebook. I thought this would be a fun exercise, but I've only gotten to 9. So HN, how would you make $100 today?

#3Most people who make $100 a day aren't going to come out and tell you exactly what to do. But the simplest method is to come up with, or sell a product with at least $100 profit and then try to make one sale a day, like I said, pretty simple.
I used to do it with facebook pages. I would check out local businesses (any city) that could go for a custom facebook page. I had some templates that I could customize really quickly and would throw up a mock page. If I could get through to the decision maker and show them the example, I was about 20% successful in a sale. Considering the costs were just my time, I was easily profiting $100+ a day by making 10-20 calls and emails a day.

I have another method that is even easier, in case you can't make facebook pages. It's all about arbitrage. Find a person who needs a service (web design, coding, etc) and then pay someone else less to do it. I do this all the time with freelancer.com and odesk for large projects, netting thousands of dollars in the middle, just for overseeing a project.
I recommend you keep it simple and small though, at least at first. There is a website, fiverr.com that has people who list jobs they will do for $5. I have resold some of these jobs for well over $100.
I don't really want to give away my best methods on here and the best gigs, but msg me if you really need some help. I would recommended combining the sales process in my post above with the outsourcing method of this one.
Good luck.

#6this is probably the most unoriginal suggestion, but you could always have a moderately popular site and get money off google ads or selling ad space to local businesses relevant to the site's subject matter?
