How to Market to the Wealthy (4 Steps)
Provide high quality goods and services. The wealthy have the money to buy the best and are not afraid to use it. They know that buying fewer quality items is cheaper over the long run than buying many inferior ones. Invest in your product to offer the best value.
Make a good first impression with your product or service. While lesser folk walk into shabby stores or buy utilitarian devices designed without aesthetic appeal, the wealthy need not. Your product or service should physically reflect good taste and understatement. Hire artists or designers to provide this element if you cannot.
Build a relationship with your customers. Whatever you market to the wealthy, you are really selling superior service-intimate knowledge of the customer and ability to solve problems with your service. Whether paper clips, investing services or a jet plane, your product must speak to the customer's needs.
Spend money to make money. Because the wealthy are a savvy, even jaded, group, use your marketing budget to make friends who themselves will influence people. If you are selling a small pocket item, give it away to several high profile actors or buy product placement in a film. If you are selling a service, leverage wealthy investors who can suggest potential customers and help introduce your product in that circle. Hire people with connections to advise you or advertise at a high-profile charity event. If your product--and you--reflect quality and integrity, your shot at the market will likely produce results.

How to Make Quick Money in Hawaii (5 Steps)
Write down a list of legal and ethical things you are willing to do to make quick cash in Waikiki. For example, you might consider recycling bottles and cans, performing on the street or selling beach items to tourists.
Choose an activity to start out with. It is best to begin by recycling items, such as cans and bottles, this way you can earn some money to buy supplies to make more money. Simply walk the streets of Waikiki, collecting loose cans and bottles. Look in the bushes and in open garbage cans and dumpsters, if they are open and not on private property you should be fine. If you need a bag, either grab one out of the garbage or ask for a bag in one of the local stores, such as an ABC store, which can be found on practically every corner in Waikiki. Carry your findings to the nearest recycling center, which in Waikiki is near Planet Hollywood. Remember, this is all within walking distance, or for someone who is not able to walk, within wheelchair distance and completely accessible. Cash in the cans and bottles, get your cash and head back to Waikiki to make some more money.
Toward the end of the night it is always possible to explore the beaches and find a lot of stuff that people leave behind. Look for floaties, mats and other reusable items. You can easily stash these items and resell them for a very low price to locals and tourists. If you look carefully around town you will notice that these very items are stashed in many discreet places, such as at bus stops and in trees. Leave these be -- they belong to people.
Shower off and clean up either at your residence or at one of the local beach showers. Head for an ABC store to test out some of the lotions and other products so that you have a nice scent, and then head for Kalakaua Avenue once the sun has set.Perform a song, a magic trick, a dance or some other interesting feat. The wackier you look, without actually coming across as weird, the better off you will be. Make balloon animals or even dress up like a favorite children's cartoon character, and you are sure to make some cash. Set your can out for people to drop change and bills in to.
Take any extra cash you have made and head to Walmart to purchase string and some sewing needles. Then take the bag that you got from Walmart and walk around town collecting nice flowers that have fallen from trees. Make some leis, tie them off tightly and, if possible, put some ribbon on them to make them look pretty. Head down to the beach near Hilton Hawaiian Village and sell leis to the people who are strolling. Simply ask, 'Would you like a lei?' and when someone answers yes, tell them 'Great, that will be $5, thank you. ' This works almost every time.

How to Make Money on Junk (4 Steps)
Clean the house and put all of the 'junk' carefully in large plastic tubs. Keep clothing separate from everything else. Wrap breakables in newspaper or old towels. Clean all junk items. Wash clothing if necessary, fold neatly and place it in a large plastic tub. Wash and dry old children's toys so they are appealing to another family. Remove all dust and grime from any and all junk items for sale.
Know your markets. For example, to sell old clothes check out the consignment and thrift stores in the area. Different stores cater to different styles and clientele. A consignment store with ball gowns in the window may not cater to people looking for used children's clothes. Ask for the consignment agreement; different stores share different percentages of the sale with the consignee. The agreement will also tell you when the stores accept items, and what they are and are not accepting at any given time. After spending time looking at items in different thrift stores, bring in the items for sale that you think will sell in that particular store.
Sell your junk online. EBay is a popular website on which to do this, but other options are available, such as Sell.com and even Craigslist. To sell on eBay, open an eBay account and a PayPal account, both of which are free. You will be charged nominal fees for selling on eBay, but only when you use the service. There are no ongoing monthly fees. Take pictures of your junk with a digital camera to sell it on eBay. It is best to photograph stuff for sale against a monotone background and in good light. Show the junk off at its best.
Choose a day in the summer and have a garage sale to sell your junk at. This takes up the day, but you don't have to mail things to people. Get together with neighbors and have a multifamily garage sale. This spreads the work around and makes things easier, and it is also more attractive to buyers who frequent garage sales because of the variety of stuff. Advertise your garage sale in the paper to get the most customers.

How to Sell Old Jewelry to Make Money Fast
Try selling costume jewelry and non-precious metals on eBay. This type of jewelry is often bought for daily wear and it not worth much. A jeweler might not want to purchase costume jewelry, but an eBay purchaser might think your quirky Santa pin is darling.
Call local jewelry stores and jewelers and ask if they buy jewelry. Many will purchase quality used jewelry and watches made of precious metals and valuable stones.
Take your high-quality jewelry to a local pawn shop and ask for an offer. Pawn shops usually do not offer top dollar, but it could be a good option if you cannot find other buyers.
Consider a reputable mail-in jewelry purchasing company, such as Red Swan (www.redswan.com). You can request a free packet on their website and mail your jewelry postage-paid. The company will send you an offer in the form of a check. You can cash the check to accept the offer, or request your jewelry back if you do not like the offer.

How to Earn Money by Running a Food Stand
Review your areas of food expertise and create a plan. Try using one of your prized recipes so people seek out your food stand over others.
Research companies that provide supplies for small local food stands. Order from the one that suits you business and pick up other food supplies, condiments and paper products at a warehouse stores.
Contact your local government about licensing. Find out where you need to purchase the appropriate commercial kitchen equipment or try to lease or buy quality used equipment.
Check out competitive pricing structures. Stay in the median range so people don't decide to go to the next food stand and save money.
Print an attractive sign with your menu and prices. Situate yourself at public events where there are crowds of people. You will compete with other vendors when events are run by the city or school systems. Keep an up-to-date business plan in order to compete with other vendors.
Branch out to fairs, carnivals and park areas. Think about setting up your food stand near a local college as well. Hire a few trustworthy people with kitchen knowledge to help you achieve success.
