Microfirm
Give yourself a maximum budget of $10. With that money, you must sell something to someone. On your blog, report back on what you sold, how much money (if any) it cost you, how much money you sold it for (revenue) and how much profit you made (revenue - cost). For this exercise, assume that the cost of your time is zero.
My scholarship reimburses me for my books, so the $48 I paid for a digital copy of a book isn’t a part of my $10 budget. The online pdf was encrypted so I was only allowed to print one copy for $8. I contacted my friend who works on the 4th floor of the computer lab and he let me use the copier. I copied over 600 pages and sold the books for $15 a piece. I ended up profiting roughly $52 and I got a free hard copy of my book.
I read an article about new creatures discovered in a inactive volcano in New Guinea. The newly discovered animals included a frog with fangs, an extremely large rat and several new fish. The volcano has been inactive for more than 200 years and this was the first time a decent effort was made towards exploring the volcano, which was described as an environmental island. The article also stressed the threat of deforestation on discoveries like this.

Maybe not the most ethical microfirm... but great profits nonetheless!
