Earlier quoted context omitted.

Phone sex is about the same as telemarketng-- more ethical, even. Don't degrade the people who do it by insinuating that it is bad work.

I never said it was bad work. Don't misrepresent what I actually said. I said it's a sex worker job. Which it is. I'd love to see an explanation for how getting paid to perform phone sex is not a sex worker job.

Well you're not sticking the phone inside yourself are you?

Maybe drop shipping? You have to make an effort in finding a !crowded niche but there's money to be made if you got your act together. Check out this Reddit IAmA http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/se78n/i_make_over_100k...

Hi Arkitaip, there was a thread exposing this guys posting as dishonest. I can't find it on Reddit any longer, but I did find this: http://r.bernsteinbear.com/r/self/comments/sgaka/dont_trust_... The gist was the links he posted to the PPC/SEO companies were actually his own (and this was his true purpose). [Edit, found the link!]

Thanks for the note, although we probably shouldn't write off the whole post as misinformation. I think most of the info was really useful for people looking to get into the business.

Is there data for well elders were respected now and 50 years ago? I think this is a common cultural misconception. Much like "Americans are getting dumber," is socially manufactured.

For one thing, nursing homes used to be unthinkable. You wouldn't kick elders out of the family home.

You could also expect them to die in a reasonable timeframe. Caring for someone for 6 months is a totally different thing from doing so for 6 years. It is a gift and a curse.

Mkelley – Drop shipping has been mentioned a few time, and I wanted to give you my thoughts on the business model. I've had a lot of success with drop shipping eCommerce and have been doing it full-time for more than 4 years. Robryan is right to some extent - it can be harder than it looks - but with some dedication and a good niche, it's a great way to create online income. A few tips from my own experience: - Picki…

Due to the large number of people contacting me I wanted to post a link to my (now available) free eBook on eCommerce and drop shipping:
