    • Duh. Stop complaining in reviews. It says WEIRD WAYS for a reason! ;-)
Only skimmed through it so far, but it seems to love up to the title. These money making ideas are not the run of the mill sort of thing. They are weird.. (thus the title). Reviewers that complain obviously didn't think about what they were buying before they did. No, these are not ways of making money that are found in run of the mill books on this topic. No, you probably won't be able to or want to do 80% of these things. This is a book for those who seek something out of the norm, where there is great potential provided there is a market for some of these ideas in your area or that you have the ability to try these ideas. To those who complained about this book, I say "Pay attention to the title before you buy & think about what it says" The title has the word 'Wierd' in it for a reason. Duh. And for those who love strange, unique, wierd, & creative ideas- then you will love this book. ... show more

    • Inspiration that fun to everyone to read about and try.
This funky little book was a pleasure to read. Not only does it give you ideas on what kinds of never-imagined jobs are out there, but it tells you how to find sources for employment or how to go about preparing for your career as say a rooftop snow remover, a voice-over cast member, a survival supplies seller...lots of interesting things that might be good for someone who wants to make a little money or who wants to build up a big business. I think it would depend on your personality. As a former career counselor, I'm always matching people in my head to jobs I think would fit them. This gives me even more clues to work with. Sometimes I share these thoughts with the people I'm thinking about. Plus it would be a good conversation starter if a group runs out of things to talk about during a boring after meeting lunch. Like "Hey, does anyone have some crickets they can't get rid of? I'm starting a farm and would be glad to take them off your hands." I would especially recommend this book to anyone who is starting college or who is retired and wants to get out and be social and make a little on the side. I've actually thought about a couple of these weird ones myself. ... show more

    • Not all jobs are accessable to all
Being retired and with a thought to create some extra cash, I ordered this book after seeing the author on a TV interview. I opened it immediately from the mail box. Very quicly I saw that many of the suggestions were old ones. What did get my mind thinking was the "newness" the computer age and some thoughts from that area came to mind. This book should get some creative juices going even from older thoughts ( that maybe new to some folks), and newer ideas. I suggest it for anyone who wants to be aware of the different types of "jobs" out there. But don't order if you have your needs for a successful job application ready to submit today. Those type jobs have Human Resource already available. ... show more

    • A few great ways to make money.
This book is a great eye opener. Easy to read. I started to read only what I was interested in but found myself exploring new topics. The author provides useful information, a "How to get started" section and links on how to start the business you are interested in. I think this book would be a valuble tool for many young antrapeniures. ... show more

    • Fun Ideas
I like going through this book with my kids. They think the maggot farm is sooo gross! I love seeing different ideas. Even if you are in business it would be good for you to read this book so you can think about different angles to tackling problems in your own business, start thinking outside the box! ... show more

    • like it but don't love it
Many I already knew about a few I did not know about. The layout I had no problem with, and the info was fine. I got the Kindle edition instead of the book, and I have had no problems with it. Get this book if you have no clue on where to start. Keep in mind some states require a license before you get started on some of these jobs so do your homework before you dig in. Some of the startups you start small but require more room as your business grows with customers, if you have a problem with space in the beginning then the job is not for you unless you know for certain space will not be a issue later on. Four stars only because they tended to list many jobs that most people already know about from TV and radio. In total about six I did not even think about. ... show more

    • Street Performer, Apple Picker….What?
I bought this b/c I am an entrepreneur and I like different ideas. I read the cricket farming on the cover and thought…interesting! Sucker! This book is a joke. I don't' want to be a rodeo clown. Who wrote this? Why am I reading this? I'm pissed that I bought this!
