Here's an idea your IT skills may be able to realise:

How about an antisocial networking site. Make a big list of all your enemies and post it on the web, so you can shove it in their faces whenever things go right for you. Call it Arsebook.

Whaddayathink?

there's a guy round here who bikes round the day's garbage collection area each morning before the recycling truck comes and takes all the cans and bottles with deposits on them. He seems to collect a lot pretty quickly. Cheap Idea, probably makes enough to live on, probably lonely and not terribly pleasant.

I get the feeling a cheap small business idea is not what you really want, but more of a get-rick-quick-with-minimal-initial layout scheme. suggest you watch the late-night informercials if that is the case. or help one of those nice Nigerians rescue their money from the evil dictators.

....wait wait wait... yo need to produce a late night infomercial offering to help people set up the IT part of their home offices so they can efficiently take up the other schemes offered by late-night infomercials.

more people are being laid off and trying to strike out alone -a good percentage of them are bound to need help setting up the IT side of it.

That's actually a good idea. :lol:

You could bill yourself as Nick Burns, Your company's computer guy.
