Curious ways of making money: Earning money while watching TV – Part 1
It’s always surprising how people earn money by doing the weirdest things. That’s why we wanted to start a new series on this blog: Curious ways of making money.
Part 1 is about Making money while watching TV.
There are various ways of making money. Let’s start with the first one’s:
1. Reputation management companies and PR services such as Porter Novelli or Reputationobserver offer people to watch certain shows and monitor brands and names being mentioned. Quite some work, but easy to make good money.
2. Being a deal hunter. Shopping channels such as QVC offer special prices if you buy large numbers. If you compare these prices to offers on your local classified site…or Ebay…you can make quite some money. However you need to be really knowledgable about the stuff or just surf while watching QVC all day.
3. Trendsetter: Watch Opera, Dr. Phil, The doctors and register domains of these new trends during the show. Be the first to have southbeachdiet.com and other great domains 
4. Watch TV online on services such as TVgorge or Hulu and upload a teaser to Youtube. Add a link to your sitee from youtube and enjoy quite some nice free traffic. This is probably an illegal move in the US, but people such as the ATDHE guys or UltimateFighting webmasters cash in big bugs this way.
By no means I am not endorsing such behaviour. It’s always easier to stay on the legal side and use one of the methods 1-3! As you know: Karma always comes back and if you do it right, you can make good money with the first methods while being a couch potatoe
