Okay so, for a while I've been posting ads about the place, looking for website designers, article writers, app creators, whatever! I post a vague ad, for example, looking for a website. One ad on craigslist in let's say New York = about 150 applicants, no joke. Basically saying:
"I need a website designed. Email me with some work you've done, the price you're looking for and I'll give you the details of what I need created" or something.
And then I either find someone looking for a website designer in ads like mine or go onto websites like elance or odesk and advertise myself, saying I know this and that (and basically boasting the talents of what the hundreds of people contact me claim to have). Then when I get the job, I contact those who showed me all their amazing work an I have so much talent to choose from (the examples that aren't copyrighted are showed as my own work to prospective employers.....) and tell them they got the job and what to do. They go off to work, let's say there's a fixed price of $150 dollars that I'm getting offered, I'll give them 75 if I'm greedy enough for 50% commission. So for absolutely no work, I just made $75.
Unethical or just plain genius? :wink:
This is already an entire industry. The only unethical part is saying that you are the person doing the work. If you call yourself something like "a job placement consultant" or " an IT skills recruiter" then it will not be unethical and you will increase your marketability if you ever decide to work for one of the many larger corporations that do this as their bread and butter.

The whole point is minimum work. I already have a bloody job (two bloody jobs if you count ebay selling as one) + homework to do.
