You've got $75 and one month, what do you do?

26 replies
Let's say you had $75 and one month, with three hours per day. How would you go about making money? Would you start a blog, market articles, run adsense, a little of everything, etc?

What would your game plan be?

    The quickest way to make money online is to start doing services for other people.

    Like article writing, web design, etc. It all depends on what you can do. You can write articles promoting afiliate products but that can be hit and miss sometimes.

    Good luck,
    Shannon

    One month is a tough timeline to start making money from SEO. Imho, seo takes 3 months to have full effect at least.
    So I suppose you could do something with ppc/ppv?
    Or maybe get a job? Or freelance?

      I would risk it on a PPC too,

        I feel like I say this way to much, but I'd start writing articles or ebooks for folks on this forum.

        I'd use 20 bucks to post a classified in the warrior for hire section and spend the rest on coffee, and write like a madman.

    I would pocket the money and head over to odesk and start applying for work. I could easily make $100 a week there and then I could start doing other things.

    I'd set up a ghostwriting website. I'd pay for the domain and hosting. Then, I'd pay $20 to post a thread in the Warriors for Hire section to advertise my services. If I had more time than three hours, I'd write articles and submit it to Constant Content or any site where I can sell my articles.

    Research Niche/Keywords

    *) Buy hosting/domain (about $5 for hosting, $9 for domain), install blog with nice theme.

    Then go on fiverr and let people do link building, article writing and submissions for the site.

      If I only had $75 to my name and needed to start to make some quick money and had LIMITED knowledge, no contacts...this is how I would roll...

      I would write 11 articles in a niche like penny auctions, debt relief, forclosure help, or weight loss

      I would set up a FREE WSO at first where I gave one of the articles as a "sample" for free in exchange for an opt-in.

      I would then sell the other 10 articles as a PLR pack for $17 a pop to the people that downloaded the free article.

      Worst case scenario I see is that you sell 10 packs which gives you $170 minus paypal fees.

      I'd take that $170 and find an article writer who would write for $5 an article and have them write me 10 more articles.

      I would put up another WSO Selling the new articles

      I would email my existing list

      Worst case scenario this time is you sell 15 copies between the existing list and the new WSO.

      You could carry this out over and over again more than likely building a pretty loyal customer base as long as the content that you are writing is good. Even better, you could probably continue to outsource most of it and scale it as long as you managed it well.

    In one month, $75 probably wouldn't cut it. But tack on another month and maybe you could grab yourself a micro niche site, monetize it with Adsense, outsource backlinks and content, make money, then flip it.

    Don't Gamble with Scared Money.
    Don't start anything online until you first learn or research.
    Maybe start offering a service on fiverr.com and work your way up.
    Soon you will not have time for little Five Dollar jobs.

    In my experience, SEO takes more than a month to take effect.
    From what I can see you have to work on 2 things.

    1. The short term income source
    This is something small that gets you enough money to get by, but it does so fast.
    For this you can use freelancing or offering services.
    People outsource their content writing and backlinking like crazy, so you will find work. Tedious and boring, but it's there.

    2. The long term income source
    Work on building your name and branding it.
    Then use it to sell.

    One month is not long enough to see significant traffic or results from SEO unless you're in a micro-niche (like under 10,000 competitors). I'd borrow $50 from my Mom and combine the $75 with that to buy market Samurai, a domain and hosting, and then I'd start sniffing out some super-small niche markets and start doing some writing. Adsense would be my monetization.

      The sad thing is, people can claim whatever they want online. No way to actually prove it except in person


      But as for what to do? Choose one thing and stick to it. Odds are you're not going to see a lot of results in 30 days, but you can definitely lay yourself down a foundation for the months to come.

    I would spend $25 on 1 domain name and one month of hosting. Then, I would build a blog that reviews products through wordpress. With the right free plugins and some content you can turn this into a good money maker.

    I would use the other $50 and have 10 amazon reviews written for me on 10 products that have a 4 or 5 star customer rating with at least 10 reviews.

    Then, I would take those reviews and post them all on my wordpress blog. I would turn around and write my own articles from each review and submit these articles to a few directories with a link back to my wordpress blog.

    Just my two cents

    Google adwords now gives you $75 to sign up. That would double your money. I have some keywords that are only one penny. Also, they convert like crazy.

    When I started out with adwords, I turned $500 into $10,000 profit in less than a year. The mistake I made was buying high traffic keywords that are expensive. Instead buy those third tier keywords that not only cost less, but convert more.

    This is one easy way. Fact is, there are many more.

    How about buying PLR and make it into brand new content.

    Day 1: Buy PLR, take a note on its meat, doing research to explain it better and find out how to implement it in step by step process (3 hours)
    Day 2: Create product from your existing note. 10 -15 pages report works fine. Sell it for 7 bucks.
    Day 3: Create sales letter.
    Day 4: Setup payment processes, upload product to server, protect it.
    Day 5: purchase your first month autoresponder. Create 5 short email which talk about your product (discuss the content of your product here)
    Day 6: create 25 post in WF. make it relevant and useful to others member
    Day 7: make signature that link to your sales letter, create another 20 post, and 5 threads that related to your product.
    Day 8: Hopefully seeing cash, get motivated and scale it up. Or, if you fail, find out what's error.
    Day 9 & next: Rinse and repeat...

    IMHO
