Many people in Natal make money selling things at the beach such as purses that turn into a towels, earrings and necklaces made from beads, seeds and even glass, popsicles, coconuts and so on. There was an Argentinian woman who made a living as the owner of an internet house where tourists would go to access their e-mail and browse the net. An Italian couple made money there by opening an Italian restaurant (and they cook so divine!). May be you could help out at a restaurant too. As Natal is filled with tourists, I can see how people there would want to brush up on their English. I was surprised at how the locals already knew how to communicate with the tourists there. May be teaching English would be a good idea. I don't know... I've been to Natal and it's amazing there. I recomend you spend some time at Pipa. Have fun!

Are you a musician or some other kind of artist? I know people who made good money by playing at restaurants or things like drawing caricatures, things like that.

Well, everyone works differently, but I work best by getting a book from the library, or a bookstore, or even borrowing one, reading it, and just trying it out on my own. You can hire a tutor, use a book, online tutorials, ask others you know who are programmers to help, etc.

You might need to spend a few years learning about publishing and advertising and online marketing and then some money will come to you. You might want to start by creating a website or a blog, then adding content to it, that's the basis for a platform from where you can then sell ad space.... this is easily done, but you need a site and traffic going to it just concentrate on that and don't expect to make any money at first.

It's not easy to live in Brazil if u dont speak their language, well they're friendly and all... watch my advice: learn to speak portuguese then think to go to brazil if u have money to spend some days only visiting the attractions, [as vacation] its perfect! but why do u think they go to usa to work [find a job]?

Online money isn't as easy to get as it seems. Many people have a go at it somehow then fail and end up thinking it's impossible, but if you stick to it, eventually it will open up to you as with all things. There's some info at: http://bestinternetfind.solutionsarticles.com/free-work-from-home-help.html You get a website, all you have to do is promote it, it's free to have a look so there's no risk even if you don't know what you are doing or decide it isn't for you.

well, you could try teaching english... look online for an english school in the area, you know what you could probably make a profit on is sample packs of (US Brand) tanning lotions- you buy them for $3-5 bucks, but sell them for double or more to the brazilians on the beach.. they will want American stuff- so also maybe Victoria secret stuff, or bath and body works.. (but those are larger bottles- so maybe not that) maybe some small US keychains- maybe some cool US jewelry. or t shirts but they are a bit bulky, maybe wifebeater style tshirts.

I am Brazilian, you can earn money teaching English for intermediate or advanced English students if you can't speak Portuguese. That is sad you are not coming to Rio, I really need someone to talk in English. Good luck

The best place to make money is in Sao Paulo city, because there is a place that has lots of people and things are really cheap! For exemple foods, clothes, CDs, eletronics and all that stuff.. but they are all fake things, imported in Paraguay or somewhere else ;P except the food, of course haha
