So I have tried, with no success, to create my own source of income through the internet. There are two hustles I am now looking into, as the four hour work week style "muse" has not worked for me yet.
1. Telecommuting
http://www.flexjobs.com
This seems to be the most reputable source of finding telecommuting jobs. I am looking for stuff in the energy sector but these jobs, despite being telecommuting jobs, seem to require that I actually be in the US. I am looking for a gig that will allow me to live abroad permanently.
2. Import/Export
I've met some French people who own a champagne factory in France who have a contract with cognac. They are interested in exporting to China and using my network to create long term relationship with distributors in the area. This is a sexy opportunity but I have no experience in the area and am not entirely sure how to proceed with this.
Another thing I"ve been looking into is all the energy and environmental opportunities that are involved in Obama's stimulus package. I am sure there is money to be made there somehow but I just dont know how yet.
If anyone is actively involved in import/export or telecommuting, I'd love to chat with you.
