Easy Way To Make $150 Per Day Offline

I typically share online business ideas here, but I came up with this idea a couple weeks ago and figured you could benefit from it. This one should work in any “touristy” kind of area. Here’s how this business would work…
When I was in Vegas a few weeks ago, my wife and I were standing in front of the Bellagio. It was a beautiful scene with the palm trees and fountains in the background.
I couldn’t help but notice all the people taking photos in this one spot. I watched literally 30 people in a ten minute timespan fumbling around to take a “family photo” of their crew in Vegas. Some people would ask a stranger to take a picture for them so everyone could be in the picture at once. Others were too paranoid to give their camera to a stranger so someone always got left out.
That’s when I thought of this idea…
If you are near an area with lots of tourists, you can take this simple idea and probably make lots of money doing it.
Here’s how it works:
First, dress in a decent/clean outfit and make a sign to hang around your neck that says “Will take your family photo with your camera for free…tips appreciated”.
I know I would give someone a buck or two to snap a photo of all of us on vacation, especially knowing this person wasn’t going to take off with my $400 digital camera.
If you are standing near a popular attraction or beautiful background with lots of people around, you should be able to snap a picture every 2-3 minutes!
So let’s run the numbers… a $2.00 “tip” for taking a picture, and taking 25 pictures per hour would put an easy $50 per hour in your pocket.
Not bad money for easy work that makes people happy! You could do this to pay for your vacation even. If the hotel room is $150/night, you just have to snap pictures for 3 hours and your room is paid for, right?
You might want to check out the laws in your area before trying this, just to make sure there are no city ordinances against this type of thing. It sounds good in theory, I’m not an attorney, so use this idea at your own risk, I assume no responsibility if you get arrested 
I would be interested to hear from someone who tries this to see if it works out as I “picture” it. Ok, that was pretty bad I know…
