Someone kidnaps you and drags you to a deserted building....

would go to site like odesk, kijiji, craiglist and help some peoples by building website for them, doing seo or fixing their stuff but they would really have to put a gun on my head as i have no passions for that. I just start a online store in a niche that i'm passionate about, will take month but i have more money than i need so no rush here

*yawn*

Please, kill me.

There are hundreds of threads addressing what to do if you are desperate. Why start another?

Why do you need a gun to your head to make money online?

The implication is that there is some different set of ethics that would govern this scenario, opening up all of the secret methods that you would be too pure to consider without the gun.

It is a useless exercise. The answer is pretty much the same for everyone - an online scam or a bullet to the head.

Why not take this energy and focus it on developing your strengths and interests?

With the limited amount of time you would definitely need some help so it would be best to outsource to one of the job sites and tell them I need a site with natural traffic and in a popular niche that can make 100 a day. Just duplicate that to make their target and your kidnapper should be happy.

Just to note... That is what I would do in the limited time frame. However, if they gave me a larger time frame I'd use someone of my own methods that take a little longer to get going but pay off big in the long run

I hate it when this happens to me...

I'd flip some domains and go home the next day.

I would come on Warrior forum and ask what would you do, then go do it.

I'd use the computer to contact the police and have them rescue me

I think we all may have missed the point - this could be a sophisticated filtering exercise. Anyone who accepts the OP's scenario would be putting their trust implicitly in a psychopathic stranger who's willing to murder them on some arbitrary premise.

Respond to it, and you'd be likely to swallow any old scam.

Foreverstray,

Two observations . . .

First, it's usually a good idea to use the search function in the forum prior to starting a thread. Yes, I know, the searches don't always give you what you want. But very often new people coming to the forum don't bother to check to see if their exact question is already answered in a thread, or two, or a hundred.

Second, and this is of course my own opinion, trying to make $1,000 in a week starting from scratch is very difficult and probably counter-productive to launching a real business. Normally, a sound business startup strategy would not include the kind of business execution and steps that would give you that type of return in a week. I personally would do things very differently for the $1,000 in a week than I would do if I wanted to create a long term business. The latter might not give me any income for a month or more.

So while I don't fault your intentions for starting this thread, I think for most people they would be far better off beginning with a more realistic long term view and plan for their new business.

I understand why someone may post something like this. Most of the time it seems that these scenarios or asking for their "friends" or whatever are code speak for they themselves are desperate for answers and not sure how to get themselves out of the hole they are in. The poster needs help and is hoping and praying that there is some secret system or some answer that will make their problems go away.

In another thread you posted this:

That is true whether a gun is held to our head or not. There may be shortcuts or short term successes but for true and long lasting success, it just isn't going to happen overnight.

For example, people can make money with a blog but it would be extremely difficult to make any money the first week without advertising money, a bunch of content already written, way to monetize the blog, etc. already in place. If everything was in place and if there was already content and traffic and friends and all those things, then maybe yes it could be done in a week.

This thread has a lot of ideas about how to make money quickly. It may be worth a look.

Many of those ideas, though, require money up front for things like advertising, or special skills like the ability to quickly write nice articles.

What it will come down to, though, is that you'll be locked in that deserted building writing articles - one at a time or posts for your blog or on FB trying to get people to see your page or on the forum trying to build relationships or optimizing a page for SEO or figuring out a hook for your next email blast. Nothing push button. Nothing fancy. Nothing sexy. Nothing secret. Just working your tail off doing what is already talked about openly here all day long every day - the boring stuff everybody supposedly already knows.
