Most MMOs frown on providing out of game services for in-game payment. Allowing any exceptions is seen as a slippery slope that ends with real money trading of in-game currency. EVE Online broke this convention by allowing pilots to exchange a very specific list of things for ISK. These include forum signature art, graphic and website design, website hosting and teamspeak server rental.

In summary:
Freeform professions are something that very few MMOs have. The social nature of EVE Online combined with the huge player density produces opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be available. Where there's a demand for something in EVE, you can be sure there'll be someone there to fill it for the right price. I've barely touched on some of the most popular ones in EVE, there are dozens more jobs you can fill. From stock broker to starbase technician, graffiti artist to grifter, there are more professions in EVE than most people realise. What other freeform professions have you had in your time in EVE?
