One penny in your pocket and $10000 in 1 week- Can it be done?

by Vlad Romanov
24 replies
No, but seriously, why do we keep getting these questions here?

Sorry to be ranting, but why do people have these "wake up calls" one week before their rent/phone bill/car bill are due and post a thread how they want to make a lot of money out of 20$ within a week? If you knew you will have to pay rent at the end of this month just like you had to pay it the previous month, why haven't you saved up or made a plan before for your budget?

Where are these threads going? A few months these threads would ask if you can make 500$ with 100$ in two weeks, last month if you can make 500$ with 20$ and now its 1000$ with 20$....

In your dreams and on paper you could make a million with a penny, and It has been done by a few people on this planet, but they didnt make it by asking if they could...

    Possibly the FASTEST way to make money is to get a sawn off and rob a bank. To all the new IM'ers out there... IM takes somewhat longer

      I fully agree with this thread, noob IM's should know that IM is just like any other job, IT TAKES TIME. There is no easy answer or quick fix to turn $5bucks into a million , so please refrain from these threads and ask more questions that will help you reach your goal but in a more realistic way.

      If you have to pay rent in a week and you have never made any money online before i would seriously suggest selling a pile of drugs really quick or rob a 7-11 , only way its gonna work, sorry for the negativeness, but noob's gotte be alittle more realistic when starting out in this field, This isnt a quick fix industry

      You could always write an eBook about the easiest way to rob a bank and then post a WSO and sell it

    This needs to be brought up much more often. I can't stress enough how important this is. Internet marketing is not some overnight fluke. It takes time, and more time, and dedication.

    All though I wouldn't suggest selling a "pile of drugs" LOL But I would recommend getting your $%it together, because what's more important than a roof over your head?

    I've seen some newbies come in the forum with realistic expectations and goals, and I respect that. But for the newbies who want overnight success, your in the wrong place. Actually I don't think there is a place for that at all

    I also realize my signature is "How to start your business, with no money" Lol, which goes against this post a little bit. But I've left that there for the reason that it teaches you how to get the money to start your business, and not empty handed.

    Be realistic People!

    As everyone says here it does take time to make good money online. However the great thing about internet marketing is it can be done with a small budget compared to a traditional business.

    Many of the $1,000 plus per day IM's started out broke or pretty close to it. When your in that position you have a hunger to succeed.

    If you go into thinking medium term and you take action you can make great money.

    I seriously thought this was another one of those posts LOL

    If your a noob in IMing and you never done it before.... And your rent is due in 5 days....

    Sell your stuff on craigslist, go mow some lawns, paint do a odd job off craiglist that is probably the fastest way to make your rent besides crying on the internet forums all day wondering if you can make $1 into $1,000 in two days with no internet connect and 10 mountain dews.

    I think most of the accused are 'kids' looking for a bit of a pep talk from a Fatherly figure or two.
    I've no problem with seeing "Help me make $1000 from only $5" in a subject line as I know what's coming and I don't need to click it.
    What pisses me off is people who draw you into a thread by deliberately using a misleading title. Now that's a waste of my time that I slightly resent.

      So let me summarize your point, you thought this thread asked how to make 10000$ with a penny and you were ready to spend ur time answering that, but instead u spent time answering how the title is misleading. Please tell me how one is more productive than the other?

        One is not more productive than the other.

        I was drawn in to reading this thread by the clearly cynical nature of the title. I'm a cynic by nature. Most 'genuine' noobie requests of this type use numbers which are just a tad more realistic than the ones you chose to use.

        You have mistakenly assumed that I was criticizing your thread.

      I'm glad someone else feels this way. Then they always end it with "can it be done?" - My attitude is more like "go do it and then I'll let you know".

      Truth is, if you need money this desperately, you can use this same concept of turning something small into something big on eBay. You wouldn't believe the stuff that sells, so if a person needs to get through a tiny crunch - why don't they do something reasonable?

    Hi Vlad- fellow Warrior friend

    I am the one who started the thread that you have somewhat copied, but mine is $25 and $1,000 LOL

    No one is desperately going to have their utilities shut off or lose their car. It is a scenerio, a hypothetical, that if you were about to have your home foreclosed in one week, how would you raise that kind of cash with only $25 buckaroos in your pocket.

    My brainstorm is, helping the newbies and the moderates, how would the seasoned Warriors trim the fat, and get right to making money.

    The thread has been both entertaining and fascinating with all the "think outside the box" ideas and proven methods to actually achieve this. I didn't expect such a strong response, but the thread has been growing organically.

    You will be amazed as to how many generous Warriors share in detail what they've done to achieve such financial victories.

    Thanks, friend.

    Peace.

    With all due respect to the OP, following posters, and others reading this thread...

    As someone who has been in the shoes of people who are desperately struggling to make ends meet, I understand how difficult it can be to find help. That's how I see most of those types of threads - they are just people needing help. Letting them know what's realistic and what's not can be done gently without making anyone feel ashamed or even more helpless.

      At the same time you cant fill noob's heads with BS,an tell them that everything will be fine if they buy **** products that claim to make them 20k in one click , New IM'ers need to be realistic on what they are trying to achieve and ask relevant questions about there path, not " how do make 1k a day from 1 penny? " its way to board of a question and the truth is there is no real answer, other then rob or steal , im sorry to all noobs that think IM is easy street ( trust me i have been there) but i can say that it can become easy street if work hard at your craft. Anything that is worth anything takes hard work or at least dedication

        Agreed - never would I recommend lying or misleading anyone. Just suggesting that we see the sincerity in some folks' questions and hopes.

      Well, there are two things here. First, if you are successful you got to understand that people are going to ask questions for the stuff they need help with. Granted, some of these questions may seem naive, but consider this: How many products are marketed on the net that propose exactly what these people are asking about; "Make $5000/Day in less than 24 hours", "Turn $5 in $99,546"... there are just too many of these to count. But one thing is this, considering that people are aware that a marketer sent them this program, doesn't it make sense to ask a marketer whether a program actually works? And if you only have $20 to spend, does it make sense to spend that before getting educated on what you want to spend it on? Would it make sense to invest in stocks being educated about stock trading?
      This is part of our job, to educate people who were in the same position as us starting out online. You got to realize, most people are coming from the employee mindset, where they get paid wages by being told what to do. Does that mean they can't learn a different way? No, and most of us at one point were exactly like these people and found our way out. Most often, we had to learn something from someone else rather through some info we read or mentoring, so I think folks have ti right to come here and ask those questions. Now they could save themselves the trouble and find out if someone already asked to question, but to get mad at folks for asking questions... really? Sounds a little selfish man.

    I think this is very easy, but only for the right person.

    And the right person would statistitcally be reading this or clicking this thread.

    The rate of person that could do this would be 0.5% of people. LOL....so I do not like those odds. You would have to work your but off and leverage off other people.

    There are these legendary myths that go around that the internet is a hidden pot of gold, and anyone who figures it out can become a millionaire with the blink of an eye.

    I don't know anyone who has earned significant amounts of money in a period under two months. Things take time. I think the reason we find so many threads is purely because of the mystery that still surrounds the idea of earning money online amongst people who do not do it.

      Hi warriors.
      I get really worried when i see these type of threads because people think that there is some blueprint to get rich. If that was so, everyone would be a billionaire today. But i am not saying that it is not possible. You have to think critically and outside the box to really make it happen. And be ready to spend real work. But please stop asking such questions because there is no definit answer.
