destroy the master lordo cheese (JK)
My real way: Hypnotize (possible, look up how) everyone in the world to go buy a jackhammer from your company (therefore you get all the money in the world if you set the price right) and use the power to destroy the earth. (drill hole through earth, crumbles to a million pieces.

Or just hire dora for president.

Updated!

Being a science-loving person, I started up to research for potential ways the Earth can be obliterated, and found something interesting... an article that might be of interest to you, oh wishful destroyers of the Earth: http://qntm.org/?destroy

(lol, look at method number 8 of destroying the Earth under the subtitle 'Other, less scientifically probable ways that Earth could be destroyed')

Cheddargirl, quite interesting to read your methods. Destruction is easier than construction.

We can destroy it, by creating more and more different types of pollution.

That hurts the earth, but it doesn't destroy it. By destroy, I mean to ensure that the Earth just is gone.

Send out rockets into space, make them turn around and push earth into the sun 

That's even better than the similar one!

eats too much candy, jumps off a mountain.
It could work, if you ate REALLY REALLY much candy.

Here's how it works,
Jumping off a mountain rolling down.
Rolling into a city, city is in flames.
Flaming city explodes due to the big oil destillery.
The forrests around is in flames too.
everything is in flames, all the flameable gases are ignited and the earth will eventually be destroyed.

Weird huh.

Time. Earth is not going to last forever...

Using extreme technology, make an artaficial black hole to suck up the world!

Edit: What the!? A perfectly normal word was censered by the filter!

Yes, I know what word you mean. It can be offensive to some people, but you were all right; you used it differently. 

And anyway, I'll update the textbook.

I have another one: Build rockets that are actualy on the earth like buildings, and then when it's night (because they will be facing away from the sun then) set them off and they will push Earth into the sun!

That's really creative!

Lol, I found this black hole method at LiveScience.com:

You will need: a microscopic black hole. Note that black holes are not eternal, they evaporate due to Hawking radiation. For your average black hole this takes an unimaginable amount of time, but for really small ones it could happen almost instantaneously, as evaporation time is dependent on mass. Therefore you microscopic black hole must have greater than a certain threshold mass, roughly equal to the mass of Mount Everest. Creating a microscopic black hole is tricky, since one needs a reasonable amount of neutronium, but may possibly be achievable by jamming large numbers of atomic nuclei together until they stick. This is left as an exercise to the reader.

Method: simply place your black hole on the surface of the Earth and wait. Black holes are of such high density that they pass through ordinary matter like a stone through the air. The black hole will plummet through the ground, eating its way to the center of the Earth and all the way through to the other side: then, it'll oscillate back, over and over like a matter-absorbing pendulum. Eventually it will come to rest at the core, having absorbed enough matter to slow it down. Then you just need to wait, while it sits and consumes matter until the whole Earth is gone.

Highly, highly unlikely. But not impossible.

Earth's final resting place: a singularity of almost zero size, which will then proceed to happily orbit the Sun as normal

...and another:

Total existence failure
You will need: nothing

Method: No method. Simply sit back and twiddle your thumbs as, completely by chance, all 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms making up the planet Earth suddenly, simultaneously and spontaneously cease to exist. Note: the odds against this actually ever occurring are considerably greater than a googolplex to one. Failing this, some kind of arcane (read: scientifically laughable) probability-manipulation device may be employed.

Utter, utter rubbish.

...and another:

Pulverized by impact with blunt instrument
You will need: a big heavy rock, something with a bit of a swing to it... perhaps Mars

Method: Essentially, anything can be destroyed if you hit it hard enough. ANYTHING. The concept is simple: find a really, really big asteroid or planet, accelerate it up to some dazzling speed, and smash it into Earth, preferably head-on but whatever you can manage. The result: an absolutely spectacular collision, resulting hopefully in Earth (and, most likely, our "cue ball" too) being pulverized out of existence - smashed into any number of large pieces which if the collision is hard enough should have enough energy to overcome their mutual gravity and drift away forever, never to coagulate back into a planet again.

A brief analysis of the size of the object required can be found here. Falling at the minimal impact velocity of 11 kilometers per second and assuming zero energy loss to heat and other energy forms, the cue ball would have to have roughly 60% of the mass of the Earth. Mars, the next planet out, "weighs" in at about 11% of Earth's mass, while Venus, the next planet in and also the nearest to Earth, has about 81%. Assuming that we would fire our cue ball into Earth at much greater than 11km/s (I'm thinking more like 50km/s), either of these would make great possibilities.

Obviously a smaller rock would do the job, you just need to fire it faster. A 10,000,000,000,000-tonne asteroid at 90% of light speed would do just as well. See the Guide to moving Earth for useful information on maneuvering big hunks of rock across interplanetary distances.

Pretty plausible.

Earth's final resting place: a variety of roughly Moon-sized chunks of rock, scattered haphazardly across the greater Solar System.

Yes, that's the competitor website in the handbook.
