You could always sell drugs? LOL..

I presume you dont have much of a list?

$16,000 is a LOT of money and to do it from scratch in 3 months is very very very hard to say the least.

What you could do is create a $97 product, and give 100% commisions to affiliates, put it up on clickbank and build a big list of affiliates...and then make a higher priced product and this time you get commissions.

Whether or not 3 months is enough time, is another question though.

Thanks

  Benjamin,
  I think you could do this easily if you're willing to go and talk to local business owners (check out David Preston's excellent offline business thread further down). It'll require a fair bit of time commitment to begin with but once your rolling then it's easier.

If you could get your sites/business to make $1-2000 per month at the end of 3 months, you could sell them for $16000 or more at that time. This would be easier than actually generating over $5000 a month for 3 months.

Oh come on guys that's only $178 a day...

Now if you were to try and make that without doing any work, then you'd have a pretty hard time of it.

BUT...

If you actually thought about it and constructed a plan then followed it I'm sure you could do it.

You say you're into article marketing - Do you write your own articles? If you happen to write your own articles then I'm sure you could also write reviews as well...

So what about doing a combination of writing articles and writing reviews for others.

You could even write review site content based on specific niches for example tooth whitening (or other CPA offers) and create a review site that reviews the top 5 products and sell that.

These are just quick ideas of course.

You could also setup a complete review writing service and get it going through a WSO... in this case it's all about competitive pricing without going too low.

The lowest price doesn't always win... it's all about the value you can provide.

Mike Hill

PS. Don't sit and ponder your options too long, just start doing it and work your butt off to get it done.

Benjamin,

With all due respect to many of the other posters, it is not "hard" to make $16K in the next three months.

The problem? You're not talking to anyone who has actually done so.

My best month is $127K. Although I was selling someone else's $50K training at the time, so that obviously helps.

My point still remains. $16K in three months is not only doable, it's not that hard.

Sell what people want and are already buying.

Easy on the assumptions... you never know who people really are online...

$16k in 3 months is cakewalk material for those of us who already know what's working, what sells, and have our traffic methods firmly established.

It's a different story for desperate newbies.

When you tell someone to "sell what people want and are already buying" (which I do also, btw), they'll simply stare back at you blankly and either say "like what?"

OR

"But I KNOW that people want [insert first attempted promo here] because [insert ill-informed idealistic opinion here]"

That's reality, and it's part of being a newbie.

So here's something that is instantly actionable that anyone - even a newbie - could follow to generate these kinds of numbers:

1) Go to the SitePoint Marketplace and browse the Established Sites and Premium Sites sections and pull up all the sites selling for $16k or more

2) Find sites that were rolled out quickly and have a basic business model, not getting PPC traffic

3) Copy their approach, sell what they sell, then sell that site.

Boom.

Done.

Instantly actionable.

Appreciate your points Chris.

Although let me be clear - no assumptions here. I'm actually making him think for himself rather than spoon-feeding him what to do.

As a newbie I did $12K in 59 days by...yes...selling what people wanted and were already buying. Being a newbie is not an excuse in my book.

I suppose I consider no one fragile minded. In fact I think most need a bit of shaking.

Great point Ken... I think you have hit it. Even if you do give people step by step directions, they have to actually take action and do something... and (even more importantly) they have to persist until the get it right.

I think its a good idea to give some clear direction to someone who is motivated and has a "need for speed", but its a disservice if we don't also encourage/incite them to think for themselves.

Agree with Chris but instead of doing his 3 steps, I would do this:

1) Go to the SitePoint Marketplace and browse the Established Sites and Premium Sites sections and pull up all the sites that are in the same market as your adsense sites

2) See how much tehy are earning and then apply their most successful (and easy) revenue streams to your sites

3) Copy their approach, sell what they sell, then sell each site.

You'll easy make $16k if you can sell 10 sites for $1,600 that make $200/mo.

Very true, however by the time your plan is generating $178 a day, you'll actually need to be making more each day to catch up.

I think a WSO is a great place to start. If you can offer a valuable product that most are willing to buy. Don't over price either, you'll shoot yourself in the foot that way.

$ 16,000/-? In 3 months? You must be joking !!! In the present scenario, it will take a long time to make that money, man!! Anyway, you can start as an affiliate with some sites, or look for articles posting on sites which will fetch you money. But don't expect to make that huge an amount within 3 months. Good luck.

I think the most likely way to go is the Offline Business marketing. Check out the "cash cow" thread, join the mastermind group and the calls.

Spend a few days developing your business plan - what will you offer, who will you target, what do they need, what will they pay! Figure out what your profit margins are, and work backwards.

For example:

Goal is to target local businesses that have no website and/or no email marketing.
Charge $1500 for a 5 page site (assume you will outsource the creation and take home $500)
Charge $500 for setting up email marketing plan, system and signup form (you can do this for all profit)
Create a basic marketing plan for them (Free as a bonus to them) but you can also enact that program for them (SEO, PPC, online classifieds, offline marketing, drawing or giveaway, etc.)
Assuming $500 profit for a website and $500 profit for email marketing, you will only need 32 business accounts!

And, if you focus on selling the website/email marketing combo, then you only need 16. Sixteen combo packages in 90 days is one every 5 days. Make it your goal to get 2-3 a week, and you will be there in 60 days.

TIP #1 - Be sure to line up your outsourcing system, and have several to use (ask in the forum, search online or try RentACoder)

TIP #2 - Spend time organizing your plan and especially the template plan for the businesses. The basics will always be the same, so make it a system.

TIP #3 - Plan to spend half your day prospecting (calling, knocking on doors and sending letters to potential clients) and the other half of the day working on the current customers. Do whichever half you like LEAST in the morning.

Its really just helping small businesses with online marketing 101 - nothing fancy, nothing crazy... just simple. I have a rough draft for an ebook I am giving to small businesses to explain the process - it might be useful to you:
4500 Percent - FREE eBook Download on Internet Marketing

YES - its work
YES - its sometimes not fun
YES - its lucrative
YES - it can and IS being done every day

Trying to build up a large amount of $$$ strictly by selling online in 90 days is tough... selling online marketing to offline businesses (especially in this market) is easy.

Good Luck!

Another way to do this is to outsource some stuff. I think someone here hit the nail right on the head. People think it's hard because they have never did it. However, to someone that has done it with success then it is easy. You have to talk to the right people.

Why is it when questions like this get asked, most of the responses are overwhelmingly negative?

The man doesn't need, "You can't do that" or "that's impossible" or "hit the roulette table". He needs cash, needs it relatively quickly, and is asking for ideas -- which Ken, Chris, and a couple others have generously provided.

IMHO, if you can't contribute something worthwhile, don't. At least have some respect for the man. He needs uppers, not downers.

Create a product that's worth selling at a price point of around $149.00... Build a brand new(not-existing) list of 300 subscribers in less than a week (not hard to do)... convert half of the list on the sale of the $149.00 product (50% conversion rate).

That would give you $22,350 in less than a month.

And, whether you believe it or not, it is possible to see a 50 to 60% conversion rate.

I have done this twice in the past 45 days. The only difference is that I did it with a $97 product.

I'm almost done with my new product explaining how I did it and how everyone in this entire forum can do it. And, it does not matter what level of experience you have.

But, you can't be afraid to use video...

I've learned over the past 2 months that video, used properly, can give you the ability to dictate your conversion rates.

Interesting thing in here, isn't illegal? I tought that it was the same rule as spamming (Can Act). What are these natural cleaners? So you say that you build of buyers by selling them natural cleaners and then you sell to these people websites and com. product?

I don't know about Canada, but in the US it is not illegal to call businesses on the phone or in person to sell natural cleaners. We then offer these businesses optin to my newsletter for updates and other products and services. It is a sound business marketing model using all media.

Can you expand on the backlinking campaign and point me in the right direction? I have written over 1,000 articles, mostly for adsense, but i get a clickbank sale every once in a while, but I have never been able to get consistent clickbank or CJ sales. I have tried posting ads on USFREEADS and other classified ad sites, but I cannot get them to generate any sales and the only thing that has worked much has been the articles to adsense sites. If you could lead me in the direction for clickbank and CJ it would help. Maybe I need to understand how to design the sites and which niches are the best to choose.

Yes, you are on the right track. "Debt" would be a broad keyword and your example: "how to eliminate debt" would be a long tail keyword. With the keyword 'debt' there are probably other great long tail keywords as well.

I love these kinds of threads . . . lots of good ideas here. Making $16,000 in 3 months is not all that much considering most IM'ers seem to have a goal of making at least 10K per month. Although it usually takes more than 3 months to do that, if you could find someone who has already discovered a way to do it and are willing to work hard, I'm sure you can do it.

  Hmm, $16k is about what I did in my first 3 months marketing online.
  
  My success came from putting all my expertise as a top salesperson in the corporate world into an information product (in a single weekend), and marketing it with about a $500 initial investment into AdWords.
  
  The catch is that I'd been in sales all my life, and was not only good at it but at the very top of the game.
  
  So, with that in mind, what do you do best that others would be willing to learn how to do? What are your skills? What do you love? If you can take something you are great at, or very passionate about, and put it into an info product, $16k in 3 months will be a cakewalk. Keep in mind that I did it all with AdWords and only AdWords. Now with forums like this you can find a bunch of affiliates to sign up and market for you.

I was thinking you could do what Frank says. Put your passion into something and BUILD AROUND IT. After you have everything in place....sell you list to those in need or those looking for list that compares to what you have built. Internet Marketing is a great way to hit $16,000 in 3 months, but selling your leads (make sure your privacy policy is set up right) can be a great income as well.

P.S. Check out my sig, I started IM with this program. It FREAKING WORKS!!!

Thanks

Creating an informational product doesn't have to be that hard... why not JV with someone?

Find someone with skills or information (like Frank above), and interview them to get it out. then package the info, IM and sell it... and split it with them.

You don't even have to have the information yourself - just find an expert in some field and record it. IM is all about packaging and sales systems.

Thanks

Life insurance policy and hire hit man to knock your self off?

1. Start looking for free scrap metal on Craigslist and take it to a scaper.

2. Some video cameras on Craigslist sell for $50 to $100 more then on eBay. I've done this a couple of times. Stick with major brands like Sony and get to know the used models that sell the best. Some video cameras sell for more on eBay too, it seems weird, but it is a two way street.

3. Here is an intereesting one for you. There are people on eBay buying large lots of comic books from the 1970's and older. They go throught the comic collection, find the best comics and have them graded and sealed by CGC. They will relist the individual comic on ebay with an offical grading on it and the bids go crazy.

Check for your self, some eBay ID show them buying comic book collections and then later selling individual CGC graded comics for some pretty good money.

Best of luck, Tony.

  Ok , fairly simple idea. Look into offline businesses that have a weak online prescence but that are in an industry that could really benefit from a stronger web prescence and also world wide coverage.
  
  Ie a business that benefits from local customers but could also profit from selling related things worldwide .... health, beauty, sports, automobile industry,accountants,lawyers etc etc
  
  Then approach some with a pitch along the lines of 'If I/we can increase your profits by XX% in the next 12 months as a result of using our IM techniques we can agree on a (certain) percentage of those profits being paid to us on an ongoing basis while we continue to work with your business to further increase profits and client base.
  All we need from you now is $10-30k down for the intial work and this will be taken off the percentage paid to us after 12 months. In the unlikely event theres no extra profits youll get a full refund guaranteed. So you sir (the CEO) have nothing to lose and everything to gain
  
  get maybe 5 of these in place, outsource what you need to bearing in mind guaranteed repeat business should result in lower outsourcing costs or even partnerships, take the profits (should leave $30k for you) and make damn sure you work your butt off to get them to good profits .
  
  Not only you get your $30k you get great continuity payments and youre really just the link between customer and technical
  
  Thanks

There are seriously sooooo many ways to make money
but it's almost impossible to think of them when you are
in dire straits. I would highly recommend that you take
a few days to do your research, implement a plan and
begin working it. DO NOT attempt every money making
scheme that you come across as you will surely fail.

Thanks

I agree with Angela. I was amazed when I joined the War Room and all the help from high level warriors.

How a grandma made $12k+ in 5 weeks on her first IM offer spending less than $100!

Wow! There is a lot of great information here in this thread. Thanks a lot to those that actually contributed. I am going to pm a few of you to get a little more info, then I am going to sit down and put my plan together. Just so you know I do write my own articles and have over 1,000 of my own already. I was making about $1,800 a month with adsense and it has dropped considerably, but is back on the way up a bit.

Please keep up the good info
