Well, it was a good try at a money-making book. Overall it wasn't very helpful.Most of the ideas are things that you would normally have tried, IE: Mowing lawns, walking dogs, babysitting. Unless you know someone already who needs one of these services, I don't see you being able to find a customer and get the job done in time to have the money "By tomorrow or sooner".At least one of the ideas, although in good spirits, I know in the US is illegal (There is one that would be illegal, but there is a notation to notify you on getting the proper permits). I've seen people in my area doing these, and they usually do get shut down within the first day. You may be more lucky, but I don't think it's worth the risk.There is a big section on selling arts and crafts, which if you can do that, is a good way to make money. But it is a long-term thing. As an artist who has been featured in local galleries, I can tell you that selling a painting isn't something that happens right away. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible, but unlikely that you would sell something "By tomorrow or sooner".Lastly, I would like to bring up two that I think should definitely be taken out of the book.1~ It is suggested that if you have a big selection of nail polish and a nice manicure set, to do manicures to family, friends and neighbors at a lower cost than the nail salons. Now, again, that is in good spirits, but it really is a horrible idea.Not only can you spread infection or other illnesses through improperly sanitized tools, but there is a reason why manicurists wear masks and have good ventilation. The dust from the nails and the chemicals in the polish can lead to horrible diseases which will end up costing you much more than you will make doing this, and you could die from it.2~ It is also suggested that if you are good with makeup, that you could do makeup for proms and face painting for parties. What it doesn't mention is that you can't just use the same supplies for everyone. That is a good way to spread infection, and I'm sure you would end up with one or more unhappy customers demanding their money back, and maybe even more depending on what they ended up getting from the brushes.
