$10,000 budget - 4 months time - $3000 PM Income

17 replies
Hi all,

So the past weekend I was in the Kruger National Park here in South Africa with some friends I haven't seen in a while. The converstation came to "what are you doing for a living" and Internet Marketing came up among others.

Long story short, my friend asked me a very interesting question. He asked me:

"Sam, if I give you $10,000 and 4 months time, will you be able to generate a consistent
$3000 per month profit not counting the initial investment?"

He is a very successful business man with some money to through around and he is always on the lookout for new income streams

This is a lot different from the usual "You only have your laptop and an internet connection, with no list, JV partners or money. You must make $3000 within the next 30 days BLA BLA BLA"

That angle has been ridden to death. I would like to hear what you will do if you where in this situation

You have $10,000 and 4 months to create a $3000 per month income stream over the Internet. How will you do it?

Let's get some ideas in

Sam

    There are a lot of Warriors that have $10,000 to invest in new online businesses, so I don't think that there is going to be a rush to give all of their ideas away.

    You should make this more of a conversational post by throwing out your ideas and asking for people to expand on them, rather than just looking for people to give you their plans for free.

      You misunderstood the post

      I am not looking for business ideas, I own enough business of my own thank you. I am interested to know which business models would fit that scenario

          I would take 3k out of the 10k, hire two sales people, pay them $350. per week to go knock on doors surveying local business people offering a web service that cost one hundred dollars per month...

          In 30 days you would have 3k per month coming in.

          Anyway..

          Thanks for the input guys. Content was what I was thinking as well. With that
          amount of quality content, you can really do a lot

    I'd invest everything into content. It's as simple as that.

    I could do that very easily if I was in a position to spend ALL my time focused on it. It really is not that difficult. Especially in the adult sector. Some content, clip stores, pay sites, traffic and tada. You are making $3k in a few months.

    That said, it requires a lot of time, and dedication. Something most simply do not have. It's not only for the adult market, but online in general. If everyone could do it and make money, they would. It takes a certain type of individual with drive and persistence.

        I would think that using the money to purchase underdeveloped websites that have Traffic and/or income and maximizing their earnings would be the way to go.

        I won't go into the dark side. That being said, the adult industry tought the main stream a lot of valuable lessons in terms of marketing.

        Regarding some of the replies. People, maybe I phrased the OP the wrong way, please forgive me, English is my 3rd language and I only learned to write and speak it at age 14.
        So, let's try again.

        Do any of you remember Bryan Kumar? I think that was his name. He or some other Warrior asked a question here in the forum a couple of years ago that went something like this:

        "You only have a laptop and an internet connection, you have no list, no JV partners and no connections, your house is coing to be foreclosed in 30 days, collectors are banging on your door and your wife is threatening to leave you. You only have 30 days to come up with x amount of money using only your laptop. How will you do it?"

        A lot of high profile marketers responded to the thread and BK compiled the replies and additional interviews he did with high profile marketers asking the same question into an eBook called 30 Days To Online Success or something like that. I remember a lot of people later where very upset with BK because of resell rights he sold to the product, can't really remember.

        In the years that have passed, a whole slew of newbies asked the exact same question. I am tired of that question. That is why I asked, instead of the boring old "I don't have money, how am I going to make money", lets talk about ideas for "I do have money, how can I reinvest to make more money?"

        Here is my idea:

        Create a virtual "hang-out" for a niche market. Like the Warrior Forum, though it does not need to be a forum. It can be a blog, iPhone app, FaceBook app, Online game etc etc.

        If you can create that and monitize it, you can print money

          Actually, that was JOE Kumar.
          Not Bryan Kumar.

          Sigh...will it ever end...?

            I would go to flippa and buy a website making about $500 to $1000 a month in revenue. Use what's left to ramp up earnings.

    This one's easy - Pick either of the top 2 niches:
    Work From Home
    Lose Weight Fast

    Buy a short easy to remember domain name. Opt-in list with autoresponder to several affiliate programs.

    design and print a simple yard sign w/pain, call to action and domain (Broke, Make Money TODAY!, <not my link: Homejobs.com :do not click> - find the closest high population town and put signs in popular intersections.

    Cost - $400, spend the rest on a nice vacation w/your wife and watch the $3k+/mo roll in. Oh, repeat in a new town next month and double your income.

    p.s. - someone good at promoting WSO's contact me and we can make a killing w/the remaining details.
