Dont know what the laws are in your area but buying some weed in bulk and splitting it up for resale is a very quick and lucrative business. If done properly the consequences are actually pretty minor as long as you dont get greedy.
You would have received a better response if your thread had begun with "I needed to build a bankroll fast to jump-start my business, and this is how I did it...."I know this is an affiliate marketing forum, but it's also a forum for hustlers.
Get a second job then. If you want extra cash, stop doing things like sleeping in or watching tv or whatever other things you do that don't make money and just work instead.
Can anyone recommend the best credit card processing company?
Depends where you're based. I'd suggest either https://stripe.com/ or PayPal to get started.
Sell Blood. Sell Sperm. Sell Platelets. Be a bartender. Mow lawns. Shovel snow. Make money by getting involved with the Hurricane Sandy Clean Up. Don't buy food anywhere except the grocery store. Don't drink anything but water. Don't do anything that can be categorized as "entertainment." Suspend your cable package. Check out Craigslist gigs. Read This Thread. Scrap metal. Use your fucking head.
Shit like this will net you at least $1k a month. Plenty to get the ball rolling. Gotta sacrifice to get what you want.
For Stripe, it says 2.9% + 30 cents for every charge. Is this considered a reasonable fee? It seems kind of high.
That is pretty standard unless you are doing crazy volume and get a merchant account with your bank. Even with a merchant account you wont be saving more than a couple tenths on each transaction.
