Finals are this week and my summer break starts next week, and I find myself needing a bit of cash!

I'm going to be spending the few months of summer that I do have (I'm going back to my hometown in good ol' Delaware and then moving up to Toronto in August) to get me a little taste of entrepreneurship.

First of all, I'm going to build my list and launch a proto-version of my Website business (it'll be primitive as hell with a Wordpress layout but my goal is to get stage 1 up and running by July 1st).

I'm gonna try some affiliate marketing stuff so I can learn a bit about internet marketing, SEO (or whatever is left of SEO after the Panda update) and copywriting. As healthstatus said, once one learns how to write good copy and SEO they can make money whenever.

Also, I'm gonna go back to my old standby: mowing lawns for cash! Probably not gonna do this every day, but instead do it once a week or a couple times a week or something just for a little bit of extra money.

I'm also applying for jobs, but that seems outside of the context of the Fastlane Forum :smxF:

So, to all you high school/college/university kids: what are YOU doing this summer and how is it going to help you get closer to your goal of hitting the Fastlane?
