Sounds like you are searching for Arbitrage Profits.
You can actually make money with zero risk AND zero investment.......the catch, of course, is that you must already have (access to) lots of money. Bummer, I know.
Arbitrage Profit is possible when there is a lack of International Interest Rate Parity. That means that two different countries have different interest rates, but the current spot and forward exchange rates do not bring forth an equilibrium.
A quick example would be if US interest rates were 6% and UK rates were 9%. Theoretically one could borrow money in America and then invest overseas and a higher rate. You would probably need to purchase a forward contract, but I won't get into that. Anyway, after a year you would have made (for the sake of illustration, I will apporoximate) a profit of 3% of the principal loan you took out.
This is hardly a get rich quick scheme, however.
Also, Triangular Arbitrage Profits can arise in the trading of international currencies when 3 different currencies are compared to one another but don't entirely line up. This website explains it better than I can:

This would be virtually impossible for an individual to take advantage of.
Hope that made some sense to someone.

When younger (14 years old!) I used to detail cars. Wash, wax, scrub carpets, do windows, polish wheels, etc. If you take the time to really clean a car/truck inside/out, it will make a big difference. You can charge $100 per car, and if you start early in the morning, you should be able to have it done by night time. You'll need to buy all of your supplies ahead of time (get lots of good polishing rags.).,... but once you're equipped, you can make 100 bucks pretty much every weekend day once you've got a good reputation and regular clients. I was turning work away for a while. Good Luck.

Selling naked put options comes close. Sell an out of the money put option close to expiration when you expect the shareprice to go up. The buyer will pay you a premium and if the option expires worthless you keep the premium (large probability) otherwise you end up with the shares (small probability). The strategy has the same risk profile as covered call writing but you don't need to invest.

The old adage is true, it takes money to make money. Nothing is free. Your time is money. Postage, gasoline, wear and tear on your car, your phone line, and anything else you do has a cost no matter how minimal it is.
