If you had to make $3000 by the end of next month

Say hypothetically? ;-)

I would ask them what he can do with his skills, then i will chose the best option for him..

I would tell them to look around their house and see what they don't need or want anymore and sell it. They could offer a service here at WF but that is going to have an investment cost and your not guaranteed success--especially with a low post count.

To wake up! Stop dreaming... and stuff like that.

That's about what I'm aiming for. I'm writing but I don't know if that's most efficient. I'm cautiously investigating CPA.

I would suggest to launch a couple WSOs (free and paid), build a list, and then monetize the list through with affiliate offers. But yeah, like everyone else said...it really just depends on the person. What works for some, might not work for others. You need to figure out what their strengths are and find something that works for other people, talk to them about it, and if it sounds right, commit to it.

Well, you're probably not going to like my answer, but I'd highly advise going offline instead of doing purely online marketing if your goal is to make $3k by the end of May.

What I'd recommend is a mixture of cold-calling (5 hours or more a day) and sending out video reviews (in envelopes with a CD or USB flash drive enclosed) to qualified businesses who aren't on the first page of Google.

Don't worry about the technical aspect of things, as this can be quite easily outsourced. What you want to do is contact as many leads as you can each day (150 or more) and sell them simple websites and/or SEO services. Even if you price your websites at $200 a pop (which is ridiculously low), you should be able to get 5+ sales if you're contacting close to 1,000 businesses per week - that's a minimum of $1,000. Multiply that by 4, and you should have at least $4,000 by the end of May.

I won't lie to you and say that it's going to be a piece of cake. You're going to have to be diligent about contacting 150-200 qualified offline businesses every single day, and you may not like to cold call, but I can promise that you'll reach and even exceed your $3,000 monthly goal if you just do it!

It will depend, on what you already know and what you are willing to learn quick.

If you are willing to go on appointments, and meet with prospects, I'm biased toward offline.

Assuming you can get in front of qualified people, and get their agreement, the earnings would come quicker offline than most online methods I know of. Even if online would pay you in a few weeks, I'm betting the amounts would be pretty small.

$3000 is a pretty stiff goal from scratch anyway, but I do know someone personally who did it, and know of others who have earned similar amounts selling to local businesses. This can include selling advertising for online, website design, copywriting,
seo, mobile and more. ...but anything you do, with only 30 days, you would need to start like yesterday.

I'd borrow it from my Mother-in Law

Why do people seem to think this is impossible? It actually isn't hard to do if you're willing to work for it...?

You could sell web design, SEO, mobile marketing, google places, etc. without doing anything, you could outsource it.

Im new here and don't mean to intrude rudely or sound silly, i just thought a thread like this can help many newbies..

Gengis

If I had that money, I would go for farming here in my country lol...

i think gengis that you mean how to make this kind of money i will tell you

there is three good ways first use your twitter followers as your slaves and keep post them links to any of clickbank offer or something

second facebook friends you can send them everyday a cpa offer which is like download or something so they won't buy anything at all and you can use the same thing with your twitter people easily i think that will be a very good start cause i know site that makes even more than that i want examples will be in private cause i can't post links in the topic till i reach the 15 posts
my 1st example a site owner is making $13000 a day and i can proof it
the 2nd is making more than $17000 a day
so it's not a problem at all and why to go far people how much google is making a year they are making $25 billion dollar so it's not crazy or not impossible at all
if you want any more advices please talk to me in private have a nice day and good luck

Oddly I am in this EXACT situation. I'm attempting to come up with $3000 extra by May 14th so I can go visit my girlfriend for a month before she heads off to the Navy.

So far, I've:
- Listed anything that I no longer want (and some stuff I do) on craigslist
- Set up a bunch of fiverr gigs
- Bumped my WSO
- Posted ads for various things I can do in the services section of CL and picked up some work. (not just IM related.. photography, brokering cars, etc. etc. etc)
- Set out to create a new product - which should provide a decent cash injection.
- Hit the streets again looking for another lead client
- Searched CL "gigs" section for anything that I'm able to do, and did those (I even helped an older lady move and made $110 in cash)
- Even offered my writing services (you know I'm desperate if I did that! haha).

The point I'm trying to make is that if you NEED (or really want) to make $3000... do whatever you need to do to make it happen. Take MASSIVE action and don't let small crap get in your way. Stop planning, start DOING.

I would tell them to go read this thread...
http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...2CN5JEMqnLc8Ce

Set up a lease site, get it ranked all over the first pages of Google and rent it to an offline business for 6 to 12 months in advance. I did this a few times to make some quick cash to fund a few projects I was working on.

6 months at $500 a month = $3000
12 months at $250 a month = $3000

Total time to set up = 3-4 hours
Ranked on first pages of Google in 24-48 hours

Costs:

Hosting: $9
Domain: $9
Virtual Number: 30 days free ($4.88)
Wordpress Theme: Free
Bookmarking: Free

Rinse and Repeat!

If you have the skills to build sites you could set up three or four adsense sites and diligently work on ranking them and sending decent traffic. At the end of 30 days, you could flip them for a decent multiple of monthly earnings. I would, however, advise doing this in conjunction with the offline ideas above as there are no guarantees you will make enough bank...but then, there rarely are!

Cold calling.

Okay, let me explain. $3000 within a month is quite doable actually if done right. Here's what I'd advise:

1. Find a reputable SEO company that offers quality services at a cheaper rate. You can find several people offering such services here in WF as well.

2. Find offline businesses with little online presence. Identify their niche, and possible keywords they could rank for. Call them up. Tell them - "I'm blah blah from blah blah...do you know that there are XXXX global searches made monthly for XXX XXX keyword on Google? Do you know that most people who search for these key terms usually click on the first 5 websites that show up in the search engines results page? Imagine how many clients you could get if you're on the top 5 of Google for this keyword...blah blah". That's very roughly put, but you get the idea. Don't bore them with technical terms.

3. Make as many calls as you can. Some will hang up, some will hear you out. Offer your services for double the price of the cheap service you'll be buying on WF. Meaning, if the SEO service on WF costs $47, you tell your offline clients it will cost them $97. That's an easy $50 profit. Say you make 20 calls a day and out of these 20, you get 2 orders. That's $100 a day - $3000 a month.

Well, it's easier said than done. But if you put an effort, you surely can get to something.

It is very easy to find websites of local businesses not ranking on page 1
of Google and to do a quick presentation showing them this via a program
like Snagit and also showing them how many people are searching for them
and not finding them, but finding their competition instead.

I found that offering to re-build their sites with better SEO and helping them
to rank, has been met with great interest and paying upwards of $1k for a
site re-build was looked upon as quite a bargain.

Have the mindset that you have the knowledge to help them and not that
of a salesman, and you will find that more often than not, they will be very
grateful to receive that help.

Angela

If you dream, you can make it.

There are some great posts here and great ideas. I personally would tell them to spend at least 3 of those days solid on the forum here doing research. This forum, as many of you already know, is packed full of more information than anyone could ever use. If one can't spend the time on this forum and find at least 10 ideas they could start using immediately and put money in their pocket they seriously have a problem.

I would tell them that the chance that a newbie with no idea about IM makes $3000 within the next month is rather..uhm...slim...

midasman, that's genius...respect...

If I was in need of $3,000 and it was needed
or else I would sacrifice something, I'd get a job
or two without thinking. If you have to shovel dirt
or clean toilets, there are people out there who do
it. You will survive if you work a regular job.

My plan of action is in the assumption that the person looking to make $3,000 has absolutely no idea how they plan to achieve this goal. This method is what I use personally and also teach others when such a question arises.

Step 1: It's best to write down this $3,000 dollar goal in the form of a open ended question.

For example: How can I earn $3,000 in the next month?

Why is this important you might ask. Well when you ask yourself an open ended question your brain begins to analyze the question in more detail and helps you build an archive of answers. Which is key to the next step. A question you do not want to ask is something such as:

How can I earn $3,000 in the next month at my job?

This close ended question automatically limits the brain's ability to properly anatomize the goal. It may seem like common sense not to do this but unfortunately the majority continuously do it. Now on to step 2.

Step 2: Once you have the proper question written down, write down a list of answers your come up with. No less that 20 no more than 25 answers.

Why is this important. As I stated before, and open ended question will force the brain to come up with an archive of possible answers. However the draw back is, many of those possibilities are forgotten with in the first 7 seconds of it's inception. It's important to write the possibilities down as best you can so that you can come back to them when you finish the list.

Step 3: After you have complied your list it's time to get started and act on what you have written. In most cases the list will start from the most obvious choices to things you never truly thought about before. Select which options you want and act daily.

Best of luck to you.

I love it! WF would have 3K in Pennies each month for every time someone asks a question like this.

Amazingly its new content every time, in addition to the threads like, "what to do if you're desperate" ; and there was a recent thread where someone had a new year's resolution... didn't work out

Anyways, can someone post the link to these threads? I still don't know the rules about link posting. Cheers.

Thanks Paul. I wish I was brave enough to try offline cold calling. I am still burned by my own memories of trying to sell cutlery door to door from my past...

I would advise you to broker leads to business owners and make that money quickly! . Find your business owners in a certain niche find the list of Buyers-and broker the leads at a nice profit!

Sell all your flat screen TVs, your watch, and whatever else of value you have on ebay. You could also flip a couple domain names and make $3000, but you would have to invest a couple hundred.

If you want to make money fast, try using whatever knowledge you may have and releasing a WSO or try releasing your own click bank product.

Website and house flipping could also rack you some short term gains if you know how to and have some start up cash.

I would say cut crap like article writing for article directories, or at least reduce it (it's a slow proces really and if you don't really like writing, cranking out 10 articles a day is just another annoying job) Instead of focusing on it fully, focus your attention on:

Guestposting

This way you can reach a wider audience. Before you do this, make sure you have a nice looking blog/website and some great articles on it, so it doesn't look like you started your blog just yesterday. Write 10-15 articles for your own blog first hand before you approach blog owners. Offer them to write an article for their blog. Most people would be glad to accept free content if you have something of value to offer... In this scenario, think of articles of 800 words or more.

Also try to help as many people possible and instead of waiting till they come to you and find your site, try to really get in front of them yourself. PM them in forums, find people on twitter or facebook that need help, do whatever you have to do to get in front of your prospect...

Keep in mind that your main intention is to help them... Be genuinely willing to help them, without doing any promoting at all!!!!!!!! (very important, no one likes sales people!)

Just send them over to a helpful article on your blog, rather than directly to an affiliate link. And at the end of the article do the promoting.

EDIT: Oh excuse me, I forgot to mention something really important... Also START NETWORKING!

I recently bought a really great book on the subject, over 200 pages for $1, and I must say it's one of the best books I've ever read... It's called Networking Awesomely by Colin Wright

You can get it here:

I would have to agree with the offline method of selling advertising to local businesses. I was in a similar spot and that's exactly what I did. Create a plan and a small presentation, put it in a notebook or a laptop in PowerPoint . Gather prospects by collecting all the ads in your area from the newspapers and flyers. Call them on the phone and say, "hey Mr. Business owner, I ran across your ad and would like to come by and speak with you on how I can take this same ad viral for you". The web page leasing that was metion above does work great, I did something similar. There's many ways to offer advertising services to local businesses that are more willing to pay for that service than trying to figure the online competitive rat race. Good Luck!

I would starting making my KICK ASS PRODUCTS and start building a BIG ASS list.

Hang on, that is what I did to make my first 3k online.

Fancy that! LOL.

Buy $1,000.00 worth of silver bullion and I will almost bet by the end of May you double your money lot's of things gonna happen in the economy by that time

Hello Gengis. $3000 by the end of May...Be a male escort. Just Kidding. Tough question without knowing your talents. Try Clickbank. Be an affiliate marketer. But remember, success takes time!

To Your Success,
Brad Marcus

I see this thread giving the same advice over and over again. Well, if you could
do this, you could make that. Really it depends on what you are capable of doing
in such a short amount of time even if this is unrelated to internet marketing. Sure
you can sell somethings that you own and what not, but there really is no fast way
of making quick cash online or offline.

Sure you can go ahead and move towards offline marketing, but that takes time to
get going and can be a headache at times unless you know exactly what you are doing.
If I were you, I'd hang around the offline marketing forum to get some insight on what
you could do to make some cash with offline marketing.

Although some people think this method is dead, It truly isn't. I've made 300 dollars in the past week just from selling stuff on eBay. Some people have made millions off of it. You just need to figure out what a great deal or deals are, and then take the time to list hundreds of them. Luckily if you get a lot of the same thing, you can use "Sell Similar" feature, and I do that all the time. Just an idea.

This is easy to say but hard to do....

Whatever you do, I would do a lot of simultaneous things. No time for being sequential here. Massive Action. Figure out what works and do more of it. Cut the losers fast.

Online marketing to offline businesses would be quick and easy. Just setting up wordpress sites using some offline template could be enough to get the job done. And even bundle in a Facebook Fan Page - make it a twofer if you are desperate.

This thread is more like it. The 3mill a month one was a bit too much.

The problem with these threads is the mindset.

If I release a product tomorrow, I can have $10k inside of a week.

But I can't release a product tomorrow unless it's already been built. And building the product takes a bare minimum of another week.

But I can't build the product unless it's already been researched and planned. And the researching and planning takes a bare minimum of about eight more weeks.

So if I were to sit down and start today, it would take me about ten weeks to put that $10k in my pocket.

Which I could, indeed, say is $1k a week. And I could even say it's over $3k a month.

And if I pretend the research didn't happen, and handwave the week it takes the money to come in, I can pretend the time I spent building the product was all the time it took and I made $10k in a week.

In fact, I can break down the exact hours I spent working on the product that week - probably about ten of them - and say I made $1,000 an hour.

But the reality is that it took me ten weeks to make that $10k, and no ten weeks means no $10k.

In fact, the ability to make $10k in a week is something that has taken me two years of full-time IM experience to develop, and it relies on management skills developed over the course of ten years... business experience developed over twenty years... and writing experience developed over thirty years.

If you remove any of those things, the "$10k in ten weeks" idea goes flying out the window without even saying goodbye.

The primary reason I can make $10k with a product launch is that I know several influential marketers with big lists that love my products. So if I really buckle down and start Skyping like mad for people to mail my offer, I can put my sales page in front of 50,000 people. At 1% conversion, that's 500 sales, and if you figure a $47 product with 50% affiliate commission - that's about $10k after fees and expenses.

But I'm betting you can't do that. Because if you could, you wouldn't be asking this question.

Let me tell you what I did to get here.

First, I offered my services as a writer, which I could do because of my thirty years writing experience.

I wrote on a lot of technical and professional subjects, which I could do because of my twenty years business experience.

I reverse-engineered my clients' operations as I went, which I could do because of my ten years management experience.

And after doing that for a year, I had learned enough to know product creation was the right path for me and my skillset, and to start making products that didn't suck.

Six months later, my products that didn't suck had gathered enough of a following that I started getting in touch with higher-end marketers. Some of them helped me make products that not only didn't suck, but were actually awesome. And, armed with an awesome product, it became very easy for me to find JV partners and affiliates.

But my monthly income last year was HALF what you're trying to make in a month. I made $18k last year. It wasn't a cushy lifestyle or a shiny happy friendly experience; things frequently sucked, and on more than one occasion I had to figure out how to live on something like a box of saltines and two cans of spinach for a week.

The question is always the same, and Tony Robbins has put it eloquently.

Are you willing to do what needs to be done to get where you want to go?

Because if you're not prepared to do hard work for low pay while you map the territory and plan your route, the answer is frequently going to be "you can't get there from here."

Work at McDonalds offline in the morning, and do some freelance work online at night...

I would tell them to spend 20 days in creating a high quality course that will help people in a specific area in internet marketing, and then release that as a WSO to make alot of $$$ at the end of may.

Find an employer who is ready to give you a salary of 3K per month :-)

I'd say it depends on what resources, skills, and interests you already have along with your motivation for getting it done.

For example if you have a subscriber list find out what they need the most help with then sell them a solution.

You don't even need a list. Just ask other Warriors and read others questions to find out what people want the most. I'm sure you'll get lots of great ideas for products. Create several products and sell them as a series of WSO's.

By launching several products on the WSO (perhaps one a week) you're improving your chances of success.

It's a lot of work, but if you model previously successful WSO's I'm sure it's possible.

I would research a few niche markets online. Then I would have a couple people build websites to market those niches after selecting some good affiliate products for those. Then I'd purchase this SEO marketing program and learn how to use it on this brand spankin new SEO education website that's coming out. A month is a long time, essentially. That's 28 days away; $3,000/28 days=$107/day. Find a product that's $20 commission each sale. That's 5.4 sales/day needed.

Hehe

1 - Make a list of your skills
2 - Figure out what kind of budget you have for promotion
3 - Place a classified ad on the Warrior Forum pimping out your skills
4 - Jump on Elance.com, create a profile and bid on jobs in your skill set

Realistically, it depends on what the persons skills are. Obviously some skills are more valuable than others

There's so many ways to do this but personally what I'd do is a product launch to one of my niche lists of 40,000 subscribers to do it.

Hope that helps.

David.

Check out the offline section. Some people have achieved those numbers within weeks.

Why would you not take it seriously? This is the reason why so many people are broke, because they have no vision. $3000 is nothing these days, if you think it's alot of money i really feel bad for you.
