Don't Beg

Times are tough - but so are we.
I was checking out ed at D&H. And he gave me an idea.
Since many of us have been through hard times (or are in the middle of hard times) - why not create a source of information that helps people deal with their troubles.

FreeMan of FreeMan Press is starting a series about The Hustle.
Many people view "Hustlers" (no, not the Midnight Cowboy type) as one not able to hold a steady job.
But view celebrities as gods.
Besides the rate of pay, what's the difference?

What do celebrities do to market their brand (themselves) and diversify?
Even cable network celebrities create a brand from their knowledge or skill.
And then they licence trinkets with their name on it to sell at WalMart.

Since the experts failed so miserably on Wall Street by inventing instruments to make money based on usury (and then selling the idea that their economic model was sustainable) -
How can you use your knowledge of the true economy to help someone else (and at a price)?

What I'm asking is; What do you know (or can you do) , that you can sell?
You know, simple stuff like; How to make $1200-$1500 a week in tips bartending, but still being able to qualify for housing, medicare and other government benefits based on your minuscule paycheck. (Okay, that's illegal, but you get the idea.)
What's the Hustle that you've "heard of"?
Since experts made (and lost) trillions based on a false economy -
Maybe it's time for experts of the Real Economy to cash in.
