How would you turn $25 into profit?

I actually did consider Fiverr. In fact, I have a couple gigs up right now. But it seems like Fiverr takes two weeks from the gig completion to clear the payment. No one anywhere has mentioned this and I actually can't find any FAQs or anything on this. I'm just going based on the dates they're telling me by funds will be available for withdrawal.

Do you have experience with this? Am I missing something that could speed up the process? I definitely wasn't expecting the delay, although I'm not surprised. Hardly anything offers immediate payment...

$25 in facebook ads is not enough to build a significant list, better to just not even spend the $25 bucks an just pretend you earned it again! IMO

You could build a facebook list and then market to it, but a week to build anything substantial is too short of time scale most likely if you are doing it with natural methods by yourself.

There is no money from nothing... you need to convey some type of value. So whatever you do, make sure you are providing value or I guarantee it probably wont make you much, if any money.

Chris,

Keep your money, and don't believe the naysayers.
I did this and you can too.

You can make money in a day or two, with zero investment.

I did this and went fro $0 to $300 a week immediately.

I made this post to help a fellow warrior, and I still use this and make a full-time income working 25 hours a week.

Good luck, and start this NOW!

P.S.
There are warriors who have read this post, implemented it, and made a couple hundred their first week.

My mistake !
Never realized that you must become a war room member to post there.

Luckily, there are so many free alternatives to advertise what you offer. So, get ready for my little secret that I use to turn $$ into $$$ within days (or even hours), without me having to re-invent the whole wheel.

This simple yet working method involves outsourcing a seo service which I offer on similar popular IM forums (listed below) that won`t charge a dime for advertisement. In other words, I outsource work (examples below) for a minimum price and offer it at a higher price on these forums. This way I can triple or even quadruple my previous investment in a matter of days.

What I do (or did):

1. I signed up as a member at w-i-c-k-e-d-fire or forum.digitalpoint and wrote useful posts to build up credibility. These popular IM forums are great places to find & sell seo related services.

2. I created an account at fiverr.com . This is the ideal place to outsource my seo related work.

The "hard" part:

3. at fiverr, I searched for a backlink building or website optimization service for 5$. These two services sell best (around 20$-25$) on the aforementioned forums. I always look for trusted members with lots of positive feedbacks.

4. after I ordered a gig and wrote around 10-20 useful posts, it was time to create my first free sales thread and wait for the orders to roll in, sometimes in a matter of hours. There are hordes of interested people paying good for this kind of services.

Writing a short sales letter isn`t tricky at all. To get the basic idea I simply looked over at similar threads posted there. It shouldn`t take more than 10 mins to have it ready and set.

5. Finally, I deliver the backlink (or website optimization) service to my customer.

That`s basically the whole method explained! If it worked well for me than you can profit from it too.

Just another method to earn smarter not harder

The thing is, it seems to take two weeks before they will even allow you to withdraw from Fiverr to PayPal. And then you're right, whatever delay PayPal gives you must be considered too. I have their debit card so that part is instantaneous for me. But it is something to at least know, because everyone doesn't have that.

I've bought a few WSOs on Fiverr and not one of them mentioned this delay. I feel like it's crucial, especially for those using Fiverr as an emergency cash solution!

I really love the 2-1 offer idea and I'd like to try it. But I'm hesitant about the giftcard type offers. I know I don't even blink at those anymore, because I know they require a lot after the initial submit. Are they still popular enough to be profitable?

Also, what do you mean by "content locked"? I don't know that term...:confused:

EDIT: Okay, so you answered the first question while I was typing apparently! If I could start to think creatively like that, I'd probably kill at this Internet MArketing thing. But still...how does this setup work with content locking?

Okay, wait Union. You're saying that you just set up a blogger blog with some of your own unique articles and an Adwords box and just let it sit there? I mean, I assume you added content regularly, but that's all? I haven't seemed to get much traffic from sites like these. Is there another secret?

P.S. I really appreciate you sharing this. It's so encouraging to hear success stories so I don't feel like a complete idiot all the time!

LOL, I am no innovator. Internet marketing is a copycat business. There's nothing new under the internet sun, just everybody puts their own spins on tried & true methods.

I came up with this because one day I was talking to my 16 yr old nephew(he was 15 at the time, last yr) and he was obsessed with purchasing this video game but he had no money an his parents weren't willing to buy it for him at the time. And, he knows I make money online so he's begging me to show him a way to make some fast cash to buy it himself. so, i asked him how many friends he has on facebook. He says he's got 300 kids from his highschool on there. And, the light bulb went off I ran that method with his schoolmates and 293 joined my email list and a good number filled out every offer over two weeks(I sent them 6 offers content locked with a 5 dollar survey unlocking it, and the offers were $1.50 to $3.00 per so I was making a minimum of $6.50 per sign up. Now x that by at least 75 an x that 6 times over)it adds up quick, so I split it with my nephew he got the game an a new ipod, and added to his savings account, his face when he saw how much he made was priceless. Lmao, I had to explain to my sister(his mom) a couple times why I was giving him almost $3,000 bucks but it turned out great. Then I just started doing it on fiverr, forums, college sites, etc.

One negative: what the guys that have sold similar methods focusing on college/high school kids don't tell you is these lists burn out pretty quick. I get a good 30 days before they lose interest, so capitalize on the initial wave and just reinvent new waves til you have enough money to reinvest in a more consistent, reliable method to monetize the internet.

Lol, well can't sell it now. I just gave it away for free, lol.

But, thanks for reading and I hope you give it a try.

@JC: I would never have thought of media buys. I only did that once when I was trying to go through the GSC thing (I give that a big thumbs down, but that's just my opinion :rolleyes. Ads may work well in this context, though, especially the ones a little outside of the box, as you said. And I love your idea with the videos! Oh, for just a taste of some of this creativity... :p

@Jeff: Yeah, I'm not about something for nothing. I know that doesn't work. I asked this question because it seems like even when I put in all the time and take all the steps, I still get nothing back. I was just hoping that money wasn't an absolute requirement for this IM thing, because I really want to figure it out and start to help people. I'll check out your WSO. Thanks!

@Russ: Seems like a popular opinion, this Warriors For Hire. I'm no longer opposed to checking into it. I just want to make sure that the investment will yield some return and I don't end up posting and not getting any jobs. If you have any tips or tricks, I'm all ears!

Interesting concept, I may have to try this one day! I may give myself a certain budget and then aim to reach a target with only that money. If you are simply starting from scratch and you don't want to put any money in because you are afraid you wont get anything back then Fiverr is always a good idea.. but can be hard to start with.

If I needed money in a week, I would start listing everything of value on eBay that's sitting around my house unused. (Perhaps my problem is that I *don't* need it in a week so I'm insufficiently motivated...)

You get 50 free listings a month and while eBay takes a bite off the back end (about 12% if you include PayPal fees) it's still more money that you would have had if you did nothing.

If for some reason you're short on things you don't need, ask a relative or a friend, then you two can split the proceeds. Or sign up for Freecycle and watch for eBay-able things being given away.

This is an awesome topic. In my world there is only 2 things that would really guaranty you actually make money. Those 2 things would be selling your services OR selling on ebay.

I would say the best way for quick cash is the ebay way because you do not have to convince people to try your services. You basically list items that people already want.
I am biased because I've been selling for over 10 years using the same methods. I'm married with 3 kids and my wife doesn't work, I live in a 2 story, 3bed 2 bath townhouse and I do this for a living. I don't care about fees and all the changes people complain about. I make large profits and 80% of the time I know I'm going to make money before I purchase an item to sell.
I am writing a book on how to do it that I am getting reviews on as we speak before launching but basically you would need a cell phone with internet or have someone you could call to look up items for you before you purchase. I mainly purchase used items in niches that have loyal buyers. An example would be the small appliance category of items like coffee makers, espresso machines, mixers, etc. These are great sellers but you have to get quality items and the way you do that is look them up on your phone with internet OR call someone with an internet connection.

I know this is a long post but I believe this is the way to get going we you don't have much to start with.

Last thing is I have a friend that consistently goes out to flea markets with less than $10 in his pocket and turns that $10 into $100. He does spend more time than I do but still makes a good profit. I make considerable more than that when I go out but I spend far less time out.

Believe in yourself. I believe in you as I'm sure many others here believe in you as well. Take action and don't look back. Last thing(did I say that before;0) don't listen to people that tell you you can't do something, listen to us that tell you you can do it!

Again I apologize for the long post but I want the best for you all.

Kendall :rolleyes:
