Live in NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington (this would work well I think), Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles? Here's what you should do:

1) Go to HostGator and sign up for an affiliate account.
2) Click Manage Coupons and create a coupon, specifically one that is somewhat easy to remember. I would geotarget it (eg: NYCHOSTING).
3) Create a simple flier giving away $0.01 hosting with the HostGator logo, URL, and the coupon code.
4) Print off a ton of these fliers.
5) Stand on a busy street corner when work is getting out (or in the morning when people are on their way to work) handing out the fliers for the $0.01 first month hosting.

I would like to think at least 2 people thinking of starting a blog or a business would sign up which would give you $100 (and then after 21 referrals, you get $125 / signup for the month).

This idea is very simple and may have already been posted but I just thought of it. I live in a small, suburban town though and a trip to the closest city is 2 hours away.
 
Yes, you can do that with ANY affiliate program. But don't forget to factor in the cost of all the littering tickets you will get for when the uninterested drop your flier all over the streets!

Can you really get fined for littering if your info is on the flier?
 
Hah littering aside I like this! Doesn't have to be fliers, either. On the backs of business cards, mail them out, etc. Thanks for the idea!
 
Why not put an ad in Craigzlist or free newspapers like pennysaver? Just put "web hosting 1 cent per year"
 
Make up a rubber stamp, and then stamp it on every Dollar bill you have in your pocket (viral marketing :mischievo)

**Disclaimer**
This may not be leagle in your country, so call your countries leader/president/monarch and ask if it is OK to do ;)
