Hello warriors,


I have $60 on me and I want to make a quick buck. So it doesn't matter if its not for the long term.
I want to atleast double or tripple my investment.


What would you do with that money? hopefully you can help me out?

    For you?

    A few ways (in no order):

    1. invest (partly) in good advice on how to build an internet business and not how to make a quick buck.

    2. a solo ad

    3. buy a site on flippa for $60 and flip it for $120-$180

    (if you don't know how to do 2 or 3, then spend your time learning and doing #1)

    I would try selling at fiverr and using those 60 bucks to promote my gigs with top rate sellers that provide such services. I think fiverr is the ultimate way for amateur internt marketers to earn some income. It obviously takes lots of efforts to make more than just a coupls of hundred bucks a month, but you can easily make 100 to 150 monthly there without too much effort, depending on your creativity for creating gigs.

    I don't know of any quick cash techniques that will work with nothing more than $60 that aren't just spamming.

    I do know that for $60 you can get discounted hosting, an aweber account, setup a basic sales funnel with an OTO, by a cheap 50 to 100 click solo ad, and cross your fingers.

    This isn't quick, but it works.

        Great Post.

        I see you know how to go with article marketing.
        Some points to be added.
        1. Take your articles and convert into audio podcast. Submit them to itunes, and other podcast directories.
        2. convert your articles into slideshow videos. post them in youtube and other video directories.
        3. Remember to send a link back to your money sites.

    Hosting: 10.00 (2 months HostGator 1 domain)

      Adfly sends absolute garbage traffic. Good way to lose $60. In fact, I'd venture to guess that you are going to lose $60 either way because of the "fast, easy money mentality."

    Flippa! If you're good at creating content and backlinks then, get a site there and sell it afterwards! Or offer services here! It's $20 to list your services and you could definitely land clients without having to spend your $60! So, how about that?

    Good luck

      While I do agree that the "fast buck" mentality isn't going to get you very far in this business I disagree about deleting the thread.

      The OP has posed a legitimate question, albeit one that we have seen a thousand times before here. I don't see any violation of forum rules involved, at least IMHO.

      I believe the standard response is to reference this thread - http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...desperate.html

        Whatever then.

        It is the Warrior Forum's loss then, since it is its quality and healthy discussion levels what keeps on getting watered down with retarded threads like this, posted every day by newbies who dont bother using the search feature and who never come back to participate in their own thread (they never do).

        I dont know if you have noticed, but every day there is less quality online marketing discussion going on inthis forum and more of these stupid threads. Heavy moderation is absurdly needed to keep the forum healthy.

        Oh well...

          bawo,

          I agree with several of the other posters.

          I believe that the ONLY thing that will work consistently in the scenario you've presented (fast 100% return on investment) is flipping items on eBay / Craigslist.

          You can list an item on Craigslist and have cash in your hand the same day. (Today, someone came over and paid me $400 for some vintage items I've had laying around - 4 crisp $100 bills)

          You can list an item on eBay (3 day listing) and have cash in your PayPal account within 3 days.

          And when you get good at it, it's like a game you play to see how high you can get the profits.

          On Sunday, several of my 7-day listings closed on eBay.

          Among them, were these three gems:

          Bought an item at a local flea market that I had no idea about. It was an instructional course about fire prevention and contained a CD and workbook. Bought it for $2 and sold it for $45 (2,150% profit)

          Using one of my Craigslist strategies, I located and bought a rare item on Craigslist for $450, broke it up into individual "pieces" and sold those for a total of $1,785.76 (a 296% profit - this happens to be in the niche I specialize in on eBay)

          I found a direct marketing course at the local flea market and bought it for $2. It sold for $440. (21,900% profit)

          These are QUICK and BIG profits. Not long-term, pie-in-the-sky, hope-this-works theories.

          So, with the exception of the 2nd item, I spent $4 to make $485! (before eBay/ PayPal fees, of course)

          Now, I've been doing this a long time and consider myself an expert at this, but I KNOW the AVERAGE person can at least double his money doing this! (insert FTC disclaimer here LOL)

          Please don't get me wrong - I love Internet Marketing and I practice IM every day! (I own a bunch of niche websites and also sell my own info-products) but since your question is about FAST CASH - well, you have to apply the right TOOLS to get THE JOB DONE.

    I'd take that $60 and head over to a thrift shop with your phone and ebay account ready. Look for items that you believe you can sell for a profit on ebay. Then check completed listings to see if they are sellable and how much you can make.

    Buy the items, list on ebay, and spend some time writing good listings. A bit of background in copywriting can definitely help.

    This is really the most basic way to make money, it takes some time, but it definitely works.

    I would put $60.00 aside and start searching local labor gigs at Craigs List because you aren't going to make any "quick buck" from any of these gimmicks listed above.

    List building, ebay and affiliate marketing with instant payments should work. You could also launch a Warrior Forum service. All require work , planning and time.

    Be sure to pick only ONE and stick with it. The key to making consistent money is to have the focus and drive to do so. Good Luck!

    The main theme seems to be flipping a website, which can be good. But you must do it right, which is tricky. You have to do your research and buy low and sell high. I recall a few good WSO's that teach this.
    I have often generated quick cash selling stuff on eBay. Old cell phones are often good. Old DVD's, collectibles. Do some homework, inventory your own goodies (most people have things they don't need or use that someone else will pay for).
    If you are familiar with PPC, I know one can put that money into a campaign and turn it into profit. Is a bit of a low balance to start with though and the PPC game is, like most things online, something you have to do right to make it work.
    There are so many ways, pick one and work it till it works.
    Good luck!

    Look at what kind of blogs sell on Flippa.
    Then find some cheap programmers on Elance that would create a blog for $60
    Then fill it with some keyword-content and adsense ads and sell it for $120 on Flippa.

    Don't waste your time.

    If everyone here knew how to turn $60 into $120 in a single day or two, we'd all be millionaires because we'd just do that a few thousand times.

    I love making fast money but it takes creativity. If you don't know much about internet marketing you should be looking for opportunities offline. There are a ton of things you can do. (Craigs list should be your best friend). Here's an example, people always need their yards mowed. It takes a little work but it's easy money. Or even better, pay a neighbor kid 5$ to mow a yard that pays you 20. You sir, now have a business and are $15 richer.

    I think if it was that easy you'd already know about it!

    Maybe become a loan shark, starting off by lending $60?

    You're not likely to do it quickly, but get yourself a domain name and some hosting, and learn how to do affiliate marketing. You could probably get a course to teach you with that money.

    Did I say though, that it won't be quick?

    After you search for a keyword on eBay you have a number of filters on the side. Tick the "Completed listings" check box. I believe it shows at least the last two weeks of completed listings.

    The prices shown in red are unsold items, and in green it means the item did sell. You can also do this on the mobile app.

    Get your local newspaper and get up at 5am on Friday morning. Hit all the yard sales and buy anything you believe will make a profit on Ebay, don't spend over 5 bucks per item unless you KNOW what it is worth. Do a quality listing on Ebay for all the items you but and you will at minimum double your money, its possible you would triple your money.

    Personally, I would invest the money in eBay or a highly targeted PPC campaign. Finding 'buyer' keywords so that you are sure the conversions will be high! Some examples include 'Buy [product]'. There is actually heaps to learn to be honest.

    As for eBay, either buy some goods at a thrift shop, or on a special etc and sell on ebay. You must do some research first though! On ebay make sure you tick completed listings to see what has been selling... and there is always arbitrage on ebay too!

    Keep your $60 and ignore web marketing - or any form of business. If you're wanting to make a "fast buck" all that's going to happen is you'll end up losing that $60, and a lot more money over time.

    Sorry if I sound harsh but you remind me of how I was when I first started, and that mindset lost me a LOT of money....

    If I could speak to me as a kid when I first started, I would tell myself to focus on service, and on over delivering with everything that I do, and that the profits will follow.
