Get a potato, cut it into chunks, then bury them.

You will get more potatoes, which you can then sell.

fap and do weird stuff on cam for money

i was actually thinking of downloading a bunch of free ebooks from someplace like project gutenberg and then offering them for sale on my own website just to see how many people are stupid enough to pay for free stuff.

Panhandling is always a popular avenue.

Just make a sign out of cardboard, make it say something really pathetic like "Lost HOUSE lost CAR now HOMELESS ANYTHING helps" in really closely bunched script (but spell it right, it won't be convincing otherwise) and sit yourself outside the local Walmart or McDonald's.

Now, the hard part will be going without a shower for a few days. Also make sure to wear the same clothes. If anyone at your current job asks, just tell them that you're experimenting with a more carbon-neutral lifestyle, they'll buy it hook line and sinker and you may get a few people to join. Don't elaborate any more than you have to, this is key. Keep some mystique without making upper management think you're having a mental breakdown.

You may also want to starve yourself for a few days to get the gaunt, malnourished look just right. There was this Christian Bale movie a few years back called The Machinist where he played a guy with insomnia who also wouldn't eat. Bale would limit himself to a can of tuna fish, an apple and copious amounts of black coffee for about a month until filming was complete. This is extremely effective. A month is probably too long, but a week or so is the sweet spot.

Remain vigilant while panhandling. Real bums may resent you encroaching on their turf so be ready to throw down. Watch for people who may call the cops, especially look out for nosy, middle-aged white women, fearful children with big mouths or store employees. If they start scoping you out too hard, immediately relocate. If you see police, very carefully extricate yourself from the situation. Take up a running regimen and learn the areas where you plan to beg so that you don't get boxed in and also can outrun the pigs.

Refuse offers of food or other non-monetary handouts. This is about earning cold hard cash money and those suckers who are trying to give you food aren't helping you earn that extra scratch. Be rude and angry, violent if need be, without resorting to physical attacks. That's a sure way to end up in the nuthouse on a 72-hour psych hold, and that's 72 hours that you won't be scraping up spare change off the pavement.

If you play your cards right, you'll make five bucks a day. EZ MONEY BOOOOIIIIII.

become a scrapper. put a thing on the facebook offering to haul away old appliances and other scrap metal objects. then find a regional scrapyard (not THE scrapyard, A scrapyard) and unload the shit for cash.

amazon mechanical turk always has work. It's shit pay, but desperate times call for desperate measures. If you're a fast typist, you can earn up to 20 an hour from audio transcription. I mean blazing fast though, like over 100wpm.

Take advantage of people who don't know how to use eBay.

Example:  On eBay, I purchased a pair of items for $12.50 and sold one from the pair in person for $15.  

That doesn't sound like a huge profit, but when such is done repeatedly, it adds up quickly.

I still have one of the pair to sell. :)

Street musician stuff.
Sell stuff.
Ask parents.
Take an extra shift and reap the kind of tips that make day to day living feasible until a paycheck.

You know, I always kind of wanted to be a street musician for a day.  I could get practice in, get a little money, and get to hang out in the mall.

Little late for you to catch up, old man.

I'm not trying to catch up with them.  I'm just saying that whatever works for them can work for everyone.
