Any help From the vetrain warriors.

15 replies
Hello and thank you for your time warriors. Now I have been presented with a bit of a delema. So I need to come up with a large sum of cash in a very short amount of time.

To make a long story short. I need to come up with about 10k by the end of march. Now I do have quite a bit of knowledge for marketing and have done quite well over the past couple of years.

However I have never had to raise this much cash in this short of time before. Another little downfall to this is for the past couple of years I have not been building a list. There for I do not have this to turn to from the start.

What are your guy's thoughts on things I can do to generate this large sum of cash in this little of time. Basically starting from scratch. I figured I would build a simple squeeze page and offer a free be to help build the list for the first time. Which I would also be building a new site to go along with this.

Building a new site could pose a bit of a problem since normally it does take it a little time to rank well. However I have a few tricks up my sleeve on that matter. So it really shouldnt pose to much of a problem.

Now the sooner I could make the 10k the better but I do have until march to come up with it all. I would like all your thoughts on what I can do to raise this kind of extra money in this amount of time. Since pretty much everything I make now online pretty much just covers my everyday expenses and bills with a little bit extra.

    If you have methods that work well in regards to internet marketing you could write an ebook or create a course and sell it as a WSO. If your product is good, you can earn quite a nice amount of dough doing this.

      Thanks for your imput. I have done the whole ebook method in the past and didnt have much luck with it. Not to mention I am not much of a writer as far as keeping their interest in reading the book any how. I have had a couple of ideas for an ebook floating around for a while. Thanks for your imput I this is one of the probabilities I had.

          I don't want to be a pessimist here, but you'll be very lucky to make that kind of money off the bat in 2 months. It usually takes people months or even years to make that kind of money from IM.
          In all honesty, if you really need that kind of money, I'd think about getting a 2nd job for 2 months. It might not get you all the way there, but it will at least put a little dent in it.

            Thanks for your imput. I know it is not going to be an easy task. Which is why I was asking for some and or any advice I could get. Since I have been doing this for a couple of years. I know just how difficult it is to start from the ground up with nothing. I have done well over the course of these few years but I am looking to generate a large sum so that I can take care of a few things. First thing being I need to get surgery done on my back. Which is what forced me into having to work online in the first place.

            Second I want to do something really nice for those who have helped me out since I have pretty much not been able to move. Now It is nt extreamly vital that I get this entire amount by the end of march. However if something where to go wrong in the process of the surgery I want to make sure that they are well taken care of. So it is pretty vital that I have everything set up for them before The operation.

        Hi Pete,

        If you have a quality ebook, you can make a video course (series) from it. Then you can sell that as a WSO here, or out there fror higher price. I think, you can find someone to help you in that, see the Warriors for Hire section.

        All the best,

        Sandor

        EDIT: Adding. You can make a podcast version, too. More variation, more selling chance.

    You can write a book and sell it on internet. Article writing will be best for marketing of book. So try this method. If your product is good then you will be able to earn a lot of money through this. Extra amount this way will be beneficial for you.

    Sorry, but it is very hard to make that kind of money in such a short amount of time. I know that if you put together a great WSO you could easily make some good money, but I don't know if you can make $10 EXTRA money. Do you have a big list? Maybe you can promote a big ticket affiliate item? Something that is selling for $2k and you get 50% commission?

      Hey, come on. Pete can make 10 bucks extra I'm sure.

      I'll assume that was a typo.

      I don't know enough about you Pete to say how you can do it.

      That's not to say you can't though.

        Lol Van no $10 is not an issue I make well more then that a day. I am needing to make an extra ten thousand before that time. Just in case a few things go wrong during my surgery. So that my family is taken care of.

          No, no Pete.

          That comment was directed at Albert Pasillas.

          He was the one that mentioned the $10 as opposed to $10k.

          Pete, you know I'd give you $10 if you needed that amount. I know you need $10k.

          It's a tall order but it can be done. Without knowing what you do I'm not sure how you'll achieve it though.

          Having said that, if you cover your bills now and make, say 1k a month as it is, couldn't you increase your efforts by 10 and potentially get there?

            I have been doing just as you say van. However it seams that many of my sites have just about stopped converting at the moment. I am sure it has alot to do with many spent way to much during xmas.

            So I am looking to find a new method to raise the funds in the meantime. The sites that stopped converting should be back once income taxes start coming in. Until then though I need to find a way to start increasing funds and sales to help my family in the case of a problem with my surgery.

            The biggest issue I have had for months is trying to cope with the pain and creating quality work at the same time. Which gets rather difficult at times but I have manage thus far anyhow. Typically I can put in about an hour of work before it gets too bad then I need to take a break. I have tried doing the work while laying down with the laptop but that itself actually makes it worse.

            Any how I have a few ideas on what to do Thanks everyone for your input on this. I understand it is not going to be a walk in the park. LOL hell I havent been able to do that their for some time now. Any how everyones help is vary appreciated. Thank you all very much. I am off to see what I can come up with now.

              Hi Pete,

              Since you are a pretty experienced internet marketer, one thing you might do is try to land a project as an SEO consultant or internet marketer for a company. There are plenty of companies that rather outsource that work in order to build their web presence. Responsibilities would include things such as article marketing, link building, web site planning, etc. Just the typical, everyday internet marketing stuff that experienced marketers could do in their sleep.

              However, you can easily be paid over $1,000 per client.

    Look into doing offline marketing for local businesses. Just pick a service, say Google Places and charge $500 per listing. Finding 20 businesses to do this for shouldn't be too hard once you get going!

    Best of luck.
