    Ive been detailing for over 2 years now and my body is spent. I wanted to know if anyone makes money from home doing anything other than detailing... please chime in with your ideas!

    heres something i read about making money

    Method #1 (The Stupid Way): Trade your manual labor (either mental or physical) for money your boss gives you, and just expect that it will keep working. The reason this way sucks, is that you’re intimately involved in the money-getting process, meaning that you have to show up to get paid.

    Method #2 (The Smarter, But Not So Smart Way): Sell stuff to people that they don’t want or need, by getting really good at selling. This method can work to make lots of cash now – but the problem is, you’re still intimately involved in the process and are trapped – just like the employee – and since people don’t really want your stupid product, you won’t have any recurring purchases and selling will eventually burn you out.

    Method #3 (Getting There – But Not Quite The Greatest Money Getting Method): Find a group of people who want something, and find a way to sell your product or service to them by leveraging what THEY WANT, to sell them what YOU WANT. This method actually works quite well if you know how to sell, but the problem with it is, there’s always a limited market with this method – if you have to convince people to do something that they don’t quite want, you’ve always got to be coming up with crazy ways to sell it to them. Although this isn’t my MAIN METHOD of earning income – I still use it all the time to sell valuable products and services to people who don’t know they want them… (yet)

    Method #4 (ALMOST the greatest money making method ever, but not quite): Find out a product that a lot of people already want, and find the cheapest, best way of delivering it to them. Man, this method just rocks – the reason? No real selling required, you can acquire customers and keep them cheaper and longer if you give great value – PLUS, you can also upsell them products that they didn’t know they needed yet. However, this method still, although somewhat leveraged, is a high paying job – however, it’s a relatively easy one if you manage it properly. But unfortunately, if you stop working, your income stops, which leads us to…

    Method #5: The BEST Way Of Money Getting In The History Of The World! .... Does anyone have anything to write here?

You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."

    Do what you like. I have 2 degrees that amounted to nothing. The job I currently hold is the same job I did as a whim in highschool. I got DAMN good at what I do,and I get paid to do do it well.I am now 40 and I love my job-s. My boss is not always smart,therfore I end up working harder. I consider myself smart-ish. I give my boss "opinions" on what should be done. IF they are good,he claims them as his own ideas LOL ,FINE, I work less hard,smarter working.Its his business,and Im happy to have a job and not worried of being lay off or fired.RARE these days. My detailing biz is my own and established by me over 20 years ago. Hard,Smart,Successful and Relaxing at the same time.Keeps me balanced.Self medicated so to speak. As long as Im able I will continue to do both.I dont believe I will retire. It is what it is. Its a win win IMO. BTW I am the oldest guy working at my "dayjob" the next under me is 30 and drops rapidly from there.LOL I have a lot of pride in what Ive done, what I do, and what I know, inevitably will be. I dont fall to the masses and do ANYTHING to make the big money and fabulous prizes in the end.I do what makes me feel good at the end of the day, and provide for my family.
