If you HAD to. Really had to make a million dollars in a years time, how would you do it? Im talking about legally. What could you do to earn a million dollars in a year if your future REALLY depended on it.

Be a deep sea welder. You go down to an extreme depth for a week at a time living in a compressed air environment with the job of welding oil rig structures. Food is droped down to you but you can't taste it too well due to the conditions. Coming back up requires lengthy decompression time, maybe as long as 2 days or so. Long term effects may be hazardous to your health, but who knows? I don't know if you'd make a million in one year but you might make half that.
Nice to see you, haven't seen you for quite some time. Deep sea welder huh. Sounds like it could be fun.

Not a heavy poster these days but still around. Thanks. Uhhh... it's not. It's dangerous not just for the water environment, but also with the strain extensive atmospheric compression can put on a body, even when handled as safely as possible. I think there are unknowns about potential long term effects. And living in a little dark box with no fresh air for a week at a time is not much to write home about. Danger and boredom are a rough combination. That's why it pays so much.
Invent something so silly that the common couch potato would see as "only available on TV!!! and think that they could never live without it.
Whats your idea? What could you invent. This thread is to also give some people ideas on how to make some money so they can live better. I'm not all fire and brimstone. Believe it or not I have a deep desire to see my fellow countrymen succeed in life.

Start a religion. It is the fastest way to riches and always has been.

Never gave it much thought. But a friend of mine invented a "test of strenght" game that he patented and sold - it basically was nothing more than a pull down lever on a stand that had some sort of band/mechanical resistance built in it. He made some serious bucks off of it. Sheeple will buy anything as long as the marketing makes them think they need it, will require little or no work to acheive the goal after aquiring it (i.e. lose weight without diet or exercise, turning properties for free), Or it will somehow make life easier for them.
It is the fastest way to riches and always has been. The L. Ron Hubbard route huh.

I have this cream that you rub on your head. It will make you smart like me. Wanna buy some?

I see you have firmly grasped the idea I was stating.
Not necessarily. That's just one option. There's the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh with his 300+ Rolls Royces, or you can take the Jerry Falwell/Jimmy Swaggart route and just be an evangelist, but with your own spin. If you find enough suckers, you can take a lesson from Oral Roberts and demand millions of dollars "Or God will end my life."

I wouldn't. If you needed that much cash in that short of a time, why make it legally? Legally you could maybe pull off 60K if you are a working class dude like myself, but 1 mill?

I'd have to agree with that. Or create some new weight loss program. People will give you their first born to lose weight.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
I don't think it can be done legally, off the top of my head. Give me some more time to think about this million dollar venture.
Why, other than ponying up a "gift tax"...one could just ask you for the mil, eh Fred? /chuckle
The situation is just like rape, if it is inevitable you might just as well "lay back and enjoy it"...
Step 1: Buy up South Dakota farmland, somewhat near the growth areas. Step 2: Have farmland reclassified as "residential". Have land divided into lots. Step 3: Sell lots individually. Either that or trade commodities. Your choice.
I love children, but I can never finish a whole one.
I used to hear about that when I lived in Texas. Those guys make a fortune.
OK, I am not a millionaire, so this advice may be wrong. But if I had to get a million in a year I would become the world's best sales man and sell anything and everything, if you were very good at sales you can make much more than a million in a year because very few are good at it. Fortune 500 companies as well as every other company that is selling something, which is all of them, would like to increase their sales, if you are very good at doing that you could make a million in 1 month or less. But since I suck at sales this is not really an option for me, unless I could somehow transform myself to be able to do it well. BTW this is a very good post, and I think it could generate many good ideas, some even from current millionaires.
God is always good! In 1984 Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh brought in a bunch of "followers" (transients) and took over Antelope, Oregon!
One woman could pay me a million dollars to sleep with her, or, most probably, 50,000 women could pay me $20. I think it's more likely a million women would pay me $1.
