$2,000 in 30 days? I'm a newbie with a dream (and a plan...)

by Cybria
79 replies
Hi everyone. I read the $5,000 in 15 days thread and I thought maybe $2,000 in 30 days could be more feasible. I have read advice to start small (Like really small), but the thing is I am in a tight place right now financially. My daughter is halfway around the world and I need to get home to be with her. I've been a freelance writer and part time virtual assistant for a couple years but that isn't making me as much as I need right now. I'd like to make $2,000 in the next 30 days to get home as fast as possible. Plus anything I learn and implement during this little experiment of mine will serve me well in the future as an IMer.

I don't have lots of experience but I have been reading up a lot, and I know what direction I want to go in. Mainly 1) production creating and promotion with PLR and public domain, 2) copywriting (which I am still learning) and 3) Amazon Affiliate (Amazon because I'm most familiar with that one).

I'm also looking into creating splash pages for local businesses, though I am still sketchy on the details of how to go about it.

I bought a helpful WSO that taught a technique to make some money from promoting ebooks. I could still use help on the creation part, so if someone could point me in the right direction....

I have ten niche ideas: Home baking, air travel, alternative medicine, American food, African American hair products, busy cooks/cooking for kids, creative writing, coffee and tea, party supplies, and family crafts. (Maybe I should pare down the list, but that's what I have for now).

I'm open to purchasing more PLR, though I don't make much now so my PLR and advertising budgets will be small.

I admit I don't have much experience, but what I do have is a pretty good understanding of how this works and also a TON of time on my hands (and I can make more even if it means downing chocolate covered coffee beans at 3 in the morning). So I am willing to use both (along with the advice of fellow warriors) to get where I need to be. I've already sold everything I can, including my van, and I've been working my little freelancer fingers to the bone with writing. This is all that is left. So if anyone has any advice pertaining to any of the above I'd be forever obliged. Thanks in advance.

      I said feasible, not easy. If it's feasible I'd be willing to give it a go.

      Nathan,

      I notice you describe yourself as a 'Problem Solver'. Somehow I don't think this is solving the problem:

        lol.

        One of the first things I teach people is to start with the right
        expectations.

        It's very common for people to think IM is a quick way to make
        money.

        The reason 95% of people give up is from the wrong expectations.

        $2000p/m is simple to achieve for an experienced marketer no doubt
        about it.

        For a complete beginner who knows nothing and has nothing...
        it probably ain't going to happen.

        Ok...I hear ya - "The problem solver" - Solve the problem.

        Ok,

        $2000 in your first month with no money, no IM skills, no experience

        It's a tricky one.

        I would need to know what are you really good at?
        What were you doing before starting IM?

        You could definitely leverage your current skill set and do a joint
        venture with someone who already has the business experience, client base, distribution and customer relationship.

        Then you could definitely do it.

          Hey, now we're cookin with gas! I would give you a 'thanks' but I'm all out of them for today lol

          I don't feel that $2000 in 30 days is completely unreasonable, especially since Cybria was so clear on her strengths and weaknesses.
          - I've been a freelance writer and part time virtual assistant for a couple years.

          - I know what direction I want to go in. Mainly 1) production creating and promotion with PLR and public domain, 2) copywriting (which I am still learning) and 3) Amazon Affiliate (Amazon because I'm most familiar with that one).

          - I have ten niche ideas: Home baking, air travel, alternative medicine, American food, African American hair products, busy cooks/cooking for kids, creative writing, coffee and tea, party supplies, and family crafts.

          - I do have is a pretty good understanding of how this works and also a TON of time on my hands.
          @Cybria - How about creating and selling PLR packs, one per week for four weeks? Limit each one to 50 copies, and sell for $10 each as a WSO. You will need a War Room Membership ($37), a Premier paypal account (free) and I think about $40 to list the WSO and $40 to 'bump' it. As Nathan said above, a joint venture could also be used to drive customers to your offer.

          50 X 4 PLR packs @ $10ea = $2000 (minus costs)

          You will also need to build a list as you go, so that you can sell to your buyers again and again. This should work especially well if you ask for feedback from your list, as well as suggestions for future products. The first month for Aweber (autoresponder) is $1.

          Will it work, and can you do it in 30days?

          I don't know - it will depend a lot on how much of a learning curve it is for you. But at least if you 'aim for the moon' and miss, you still have a chance to land amongst the stars!

      Why even write this? How is this helpful? Who said anything about it being easy? She didn't ask for a magic button. $2,000 in 30 days is not as hard as people make it out to be, and certainly does not make you rich. That's called a starting point. Most people can't even quit their jobs on that. I had to be making twice that before I was able to quit my day job.

      I hate when people say things like this.

      Just because you think you can't do it, don't tell someone else they can't.

      Mentality is everything, why do you feel the need to tell someone else hey can't do it because you can't?

      If you have that kind of mindset then you probably will never get to those kind of figures.

      And $2000 in 30 days is not an incredible amount. I'm sure if the op applies themselves correctly then she will manage.

        It's interesting Ryan because threads that say
        how can I make $2000 in one month irritate me.

        Too many people start Internet marketing thinking
        there going to make a lot of money in the first month.

        It's all in the numbers. If you take 1000 brand new Internet marketers
        995 will not make that target.

        It's not having a negative mindset. It's about setting people up
        realistically.

        Yes it's possible to win the lottery also...doesn't mean Im going
        to tell people to go for it.

          Take your hypothetical example, that 5 out of 1000 make their goal. It's not RANDOM that those 5 made it, it's because they had the proper mindset, a strong desire, and the right plan. Comparing it to the lottery is RIDICULOUS. This is business, and anyone who has had success in business knows that luck is such a SMALL part of it.

          You can tell people to set realistic expectations all you want, but realistic expectations change from one person to the next. The person who has the right mindset, a strong desire, and a great plan, can realistically expect to do much better than someone who doesn't.

          The reason we are trying to be encouraging, telling her to keep a strong mindset, and giving her a good plan to follow is because this forum is for HELPING people. We want her to succeed. Maybe she will, maybe she won't, but chance plays such a small part of that. In the end a lot of it is up to her. It comes down to what attitude she has to keep her spending time doing the things that will work.

          Please, stop giving bad advice. If she aims her goal high, then she might make it. If she lowers her goal to something small like you are suggesting, then she won't be aiming for what she really needs, and she CERTAINLY won't make it.

          It's really not that hard to comprehend.

      I've walked the street, door to door with some of my newb's and have seen everything from $400 in less than the first 90 mins to $1200 in the first 2 weeks to $8000 in the first 40 days.

      ALL of this was from selling websites and starting social networks.

      It is very hard to do with typical affiliate sales, as you just can't rank high enough, fast enough to do those numbers.

      The good news is, anything is possible.

      Alright, I'll add my 2 cents worth...but I hope it's worth $2000 to you Cybria!

      All good advice from people. As you can tell, people wanna help! That's why I LOVE it here! I believe people are born inherently good. Yes. Even Bin Ladin. Don't shoot me for sayin' that! I'm not Muslim and I hate him as much as anyone does! But he believed he was doing his people good.

      Oh, geez. Guess I need to get back on topic.

      Cybria, like the Nike slogan says, "Just Do It"! No matter which road you decide to take, action is the key to all results. Whether you write articles, launch a WSO, create an ebook, do Fiverr's, what-have-you, take action.

      As for this response....

      pay no attention. It CAN be that easy and the reason everybody in the world is NOT rich is because 99.9% of people FAIL TO TAKE ANY ACTION!

      Sorry, Nathan2525. Don't mean to pile on but it's a good example of what not to listen to.

      That adage about "knowledge is power" is wrong! It is the APPLICATION of knowledge that is power! Do what you know best and you'll succeed. But persevere. First time may not be a success but you'll get there.

      Personally, I'd go the ebook route as whatever you produce will always be yours to use in whatever way you want. Writing articles for others, if you like that sort or thing, can make you quick cash but it's just another J-O-B and IMHO, it's not IM. It's homeworkling. It won't have any residual monetary effect associated with it per se BUT it will get your feet..and hopefully appetite...wet and open your mind to the possibilities!

      Good luck to you! I believe you can do it!

    Concentrate on making your first dollar first. It's well and good to have a dream like this, but you need to keep your goals reachable. Do something small first. Maybe go for $100 - 200 within your first 30 days. Once you've made that much, start scaling up your target income.

    Hi Cybria, yes you can. You will reach it with persistence and perseverence.
    Believe me, with your knowledge in hand you will get what you want.
    Even with the tight budget.

    Many people have good knowledge about IM but they didnt get what they want. In my experience they just don't take action.

    I think you get the point. Good luck!

    Maybe the "method" with the fastest results (also short term results as well) would be to launch WSO's. Other than that, you need time, a lot of time to achieve such goals.

      It seems like the people who launch WSOs are the ones with the most experience and have their own products/services to offer. Is that the case or are there other ways to go about it? (Like selling other products/services?)

        It can happen if you provide some kind of service that people need. As far as putting up blogs or websites and relying on extreme back linking, have fun with that.

        You can launch a WSO that's a service... Either way I was going to tell you that you should devote a set amount of time everyday to something that is generating income such as writing articles.

        From your posts it looks like you can write coherent English, and there's a never-ending demand for article writers. If you charged $5 per 500-word article starting out, and you write 2 per hour, and you devote 5 hours a day to writing articles everyday, you would hit $1,500 in 30 days.

        Now, actually doing that will suck- but gaining any traction with anything in IM will take a lot of time and effort upfront- and there's a 99% chance that if you spend all your time this next month attempting one or several "make money" methods, you won't see any real results within 30 days, and you'll become incredibly frustrated and will end up spending more and more time each day cruising the WSO forum looking for a magic bullet.

        You've got to start from day one with at least one activity that will actually make you money, and if you're smart enough to do that, then you'll be ahead of 95% of everyone else trying to make it in IM.

        By the way- the #1 most important skill to IM success, in my opinion, is being able to write. So, spending a few hours a day writing articles for other people will benefit you for a long time to come, besides the short term income it will generate for you.

          Excellent post, I agree 100% it will suck but it will also benefit you in the long run. Good copy sells, if you get critiques and suggestions from those who are profiting from it, you will learn what sells the best. Then you can use that skill on your own behalf.

          Listen to Nate, this is exactly how I made my first $2k online. Well, I outsourced, but I offered article writing services. This need will never go away.

        Lol no, most of the wsos are compiled info or bs products that took a team of 2 to build in one day. It really isn't hard to make one.

    Thanks for the input guys...I figured writing would be the best way to go about getting that much money but I hadn't thought to post in the Warrior For Hire section (for some reason). I will try that. I've written a lot of articles in the past and I'm sure by now my work is worth more than one cent a word. Are there people here who charge more than that, or is that just the expected rate?

      That rate is pretty standard- but you can start charging more once you have a list of testimonials about the quality of your work.

      And like the other suggestion, the warriors for hire is a better place for services like writing than a WSO.

    Hi Cybria,

    Its good that ou are dreaming big. And Its not imposiible for a newbie to achieve that (like others said) but it needs consistency and a plan (just as u mentioned).

    However, to help you all other warriors, I will suggest you to go through the following posts in serior based on the level where you are :

    For Beginner : 5 quick ways to earn your first dollar (or more) online | Vast9

    Next Intermediate : How to make money blogging – Newbie’s Guide to Making Money Blogging | Vast9

    For Pro : What is Affiliate Marketing and How to start with it ? | Vast9

    Those are posts from my own blog, but its not any kind of self promotion but I think it will really be useful for you all.

    1. Go to Manta.com
    2. compile a list of 500 businesses with the owners name and phone number
    3. call them up over a weeks span
    4. introduce and offer them a 5 page website for $500
    5. sell 4 of them and you are set

    Sounds easy and simple doesn't it? Thats cause it is. Don't get into the mentality of aiming low. Don't do that and don't people tell you that. If you want a more detailed explanation of the method above, PM me.

    Cybria,
    I'll echo what others have already suggested. Run an ad in Warrior for Hire to write articles. You can make money quickly but it is hard work.

    You could also write packs of 5 or 10 articles and sell them as PLR with a WSO.

    For the people who are doing this, please stop telling people to lower their goals and shoot maybe for $100 first. This is the WORST ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE. People who aim low take less action. People who take less action get worse results. People who get worse results become less confident in their online money making abilities. People who become less confident tend to aim even lower, and the cycle repeats itself over and over.

    Making $2000 in a month is PERFECTLY REASONABLE, even for someone who is pretty new at this. For the people who are telling her to worry about making $100 first, that is such a horrible mindset to have. You're making it sound hard to make $100! Anyone on here should be able to make $100 in a day. Anyone who can write semi-coherent posts on Warrior Forum can go and make $100 in a day by writing articles. Check Textbroker or similar sites. Even if you are trying to build sites and sell products, it isn't nearly as difficult as people make it seem, and by telling these people that they need to severely lower their reasonable goals, you are just encouraging them to be in a worse mindset! If someone has to lower their goals so much because they are struggling to make $100 in a month, it's not necessarily because you aren't working hard enough, it's that you are doing the wrong things! You are making bad choices.

    Cybria - Please don't listen to anyone who is anything but encouraging on here. $2000 to go see your kid is perfectly reasonable. The most important thing you can possibly do is just start right now, and work every second you have available.

    If you're not an experienced marketer, I seriously suggest you go write A LOT of articles. It says you're located in California, so go sign up for Textbroker. I can already tell you're a somewhat decent writer. If you get rated as a category 3 writer (which is average) you get a penny a word. To make $2,000 you need to write 200,000 words. This sounds overwhelming, but you can break it down. This means you need to write the equivalent of 400 articles that are 500 words long. Divided by 30 days that's about 13 articles a day. If you can write fast, you should be able to write 13 articles in an 8 hour period. If you can't, then you need to work more than 8 hours a day. If your writing is better than average, you can be a category 4 writer, you get another 1/2 a cent per word, which means a lot less writing. Level 5 writers get paid a whopping 5 cents a word, but you can't start off at level 5, and it is unheard of to make level 5 within your first month.

    I don't do a lot of article writing anymore, but I have made around $200 from a single day of writing on textbroker, and that's when I was only a category 4. It was a long, busy day, but I did it. If you need to see your kid that badly, then you should be able to push through it, and make it happen. Free time should no longer apply to you.

    The only real question is, how badly do you need to see your kid? My final advice is to stay off Warrior Forum, and work until you have $2000. When you've achieved your goal, come back here and tell us about your success story.

      Sometimes it is desperate times that make us step outside the box and push the limits. If my only need was for an extra $200 a month or so, I probably never would have pushed myself and built things up to where they are today.

      I haven't always hit my goals but you can bet that keeping my eye on the prize and reaching for that goal has helped me to get further than the person who sets their sights low.

      Personally, I would suggest that you set your goal higher... maybe $5K and put massive effort behind it. You might just surprise yourself I hope this helps... just don't give up! You'll have times when you are tired or you doubt but being stubborn and reminding yourself that you MUST hit that goal can have a dramatic effection on your ability to achieve. Just think if someone had a gun to your daughter's head and you had 30 days to come up with $5K... you'd do it, wouldn't you?

    I think the best way for you to do this is by offering some type of service. It will take a lot longer than that to get a monetized website going where you are making that kind of money.

    $2k in 30 days is a big dream but you know what I think it's better to aim high and miss your goal that to aim too low and end up achieving it!

    The main thing I would say to you Cybria is take time and really plan your next step. It is possible to make good money online and from my experience it all comes down to identifying what people need.

    It doesn't have to be fancy or the best idea in the world but if you can identify a need (i.e. a niche that needs something) and provide those people with a product that will give them the answers that they are after then you will be onto a winner. Best of luck with it

    IMHO to everybody who is new and wondering if all this "$x,xxx in xx days" is achievable - let me tell you write now, it is.

    Furthermore, not only is it achievable, it is nearer than you may believe that it is. In fact, it is right under your nose!

    Let me explain - I haven't written or sold any WSO products as yet simply because I have no need to - I only come here once in a while to check out what's happening on this board (because it is an awesome board, packed full of information if you know how to use forums correctly) - however I do have some close friends who regularly sell WSO products here.

    For the record about how profitable WSO products are: forget $5,000 in 15 days - it is more like $1,000 in 24 hours - and this is no joke.

    When I launch my WSO's that I'm currently creating, I am expecting to make much more than that, but only because I'm planning on completely raising the standard as far as WSO product creation goes - but I wanted to post this message here just to ensure people that it IS doable, and furthermore the answers are closer than you may believe them to be.

    Kind Regards,
    AJ

    Hi Cybria,

    I just started learning internet marketing last month and have the same goal as you. When I first became interested in internet marketing, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information on how to make money fast online. I finally decided to learn internet marketing. Every site I went to had different methods and opinions on how to structure a marketing funnel. So, I began to confuse myself with all the different ways to implement and create a marketing funnel.

    Later, I realized that if I am going to learn something, I should learn it comprehensively, and from someone who know what they are talking about. I wanted a mentor. I searched and found a bunch of positive reviews about Michael Corvin's Super Affiliate VIP.

    Now I became a member of Michael's training program, My goals and steps are much more clear. And, I am now in the process of implementing them. Basically, I have been working online without an income for over a month.

    So, if you are still in the process of learning, it may take you a while to generate that income. I certainly wish I could see immediate traffic and income to the sites I am making, but the way I am structuring myself is for long term. I try not to get myself too excited about earning a lot of money anyways. Satisfaction is equal to Performance minus Expectation.

      I do totally agree with Brad. I was in the same situation, looking all around to find some methods to make big and quick money but took virtually little action. The result was I made only some bucks in months. Eventually, I decided to find a successful Internet marketer with a proven record who was providing the training and coaching. I did exactly what he told me to do. That has changed my life completely.

    While this is a great goal to have and I wish the OP the best in achieving it, I also know that realistically, most people in a financial jam cannot just jump online and make this kind of money this fast.

    I don't think it is crushing someone's dream to state honestly that setting a goal of earning $5 a day is a good thing to do. One thing that is needed to achieve ANY income goal is FOCUS and a PLAN of ACTION. These are two things that the OP has going for her.

    However, many people here try and fail and often wonder if it's really possible to make money online. Forget about $2,000. They haven't even made $50.

    So, for those people, I'm agreeing that it's okay to focus on making $5 per day. Pick one thing you like to do online and keep doing that until it brings in an income of at least $5 per day. This let's you know that you can do it. After that, keep increasing your monetary goals $10 a day, $25 a day, $50 a day, $100 a day.

    To me, this is far more realistic than arbitrary big money goals. However, both can inspire people.

      To me, this is far more realistic than arbitrary big money goals. However, both can inspire people.
      I have helped a lot of people start in IM. Even some close, real world friends, not just customers. The pattern I have seen is that the people who set higher goals almost always do better. By setting a much higher goal, it forces the person to have a mental paradigm shift. They KNOW that they have to get out of their comfort zone and start working like crazy to hit that goal. On the other hand, someone who has a small goal of $5 a day, doesn't really have to try hard. With such a low goal, people are lazier, or keep doing the same thing that has had them stuck for 6 months. I'm not just talking theory, I have seen it over and over, the people with higher goals almost ALWAYS do better than the people who have lower goals.

      So, respectfully, I have to still say that setting a lower goals is some of the worse advice you can give.

      I once heard that whenever you set a monetary goal for yourself, you should at least double the amount, and half the time in which to make it. For example, if she changed it to $4,000 in 15 days, it would force her to think completely differently. Now simply writing articles isn't an option, she has to think of something bigger. I once saw this guy who's only experience online was that he knew how to make a basic website. He didn't know how to market at all. He went out to his local mom and pop type businesses and offered to create them websites to help their business. he charged $500, and it included a year of hosting and a domain name (he just added it to his own hosting account). In a week he made $5,000, all paid upfront. He didn't even start working on them until the next week because every contract said he would have a website up for them within 30 days. These were not hard websites to make, but the people who owned those local businesses knew very little about making websites. This was a complete newbie who did this. He didn't want to do this as a career, but he wanted the money to pay for coaching and costs of business while doing other IM related stuff. This is not uncommon for people who SET HIGH GOALS and have a PLAN to follow through.

      People have to get out of their comfort zones and do something different when the pressure is on. It's that simple.

    It can be done. But in order to earn $2000 you may need to aim at $3000 or $4000 so that you end up with $2000 at the end of a month. Article writing, promoting CPA offers, backlinking...it's all there for you to do but must start with something and have a plan so you can reach your goal. $2000 means $67 a day if you work without a day off and $77 with a day off per week.

    With some skill set in place but no system to implement, you might be better off trying to sell something you either already have in your possession on ebay or do a ninja drop ship.

    Ninja drop ship:

    Most items being drop shipped from easy to obtain sources are hard to be competitive in because someone with deeper pockets will be selling the items cheaper than you can purchase them.

    Find a local merchant or even a seller at a flea market and arrange a deal with them to sell some of their merchandise on ebay and in return they do the shipping and split profits.

      I have to say that I agree with everything Steve McBride has said in his very informative posts. Think big and work hard. Look to achieve more than you need and you will achieve what you need.

      You should ignore anybody telling you to think further ahead. Further ahead is not important right now, right now you have one goal, achieve it. When it has been achieved there will be plenty of time to think of the next goal and how to achieve it (if you still want to of course!).

      Stick with what you are good at, writing, there are plenty of places that have already been said such as Text Broker, Assured Content, iWriter etc... that have articles just sitting and waiting to be written.

      Work out the hours you need to work to get the money you want and then do it. If you have any time left over then spend it learning about other areas that interest you so that when you are ready to move to the next goal you have the skills in place. But focus and action needs to be taken on the most important thing first.

      In my view, take any advice from people selling a product aimed right at you with a grain of salt - there is simply a conflict of interest there that can not be denied.

      Personally, I think the focus is all wrong. You are focussing on what you want to earn, rather than what you want to create and deliver that adds value for people. Unless you do that first, no money will follow no matter how determined and hard working you are.

      You should be passionate about building something worthwhile, that's where the money will come from.

      If you need $2000 in 30 days and have so much time on your hands, you can make that delivering pizzas for goodness sake. If you need to see your kid, why take a flyer on something like IM rather than just earning the money the old fashioned way? I'm not saying don't pursue IM, but I think you may be starting on the wrong foot (just my opinion).

    Now it might be impossible, but not totally. If you are alergic to sleep, and work your butt off you might be able to pull it off. But I will give you a magic word, and I want you to get out a pen and paper and write it down ok....u ready?

    LEVERAGE!

    Yes, leverage off others hard work, lists, audience, large traffic, knowledge and name.

    I have done this numerous times and make 4 figures just by sending a few emails back and forth. No matter how big or small you are online there is always the next person, much smarter than you, with a bigger list, a bigger business, a bigger income. So use those to your advantage. Help them first, and see if they will either take you under their wing, or promote your stuff, an ebook, a service, a seminar, webinar whatever.

    doing stuff on your own can make you big money. But leverage is the key if you want to branch out to the big biccies i.e. six figure businesses, or launch from a newbie and become successful online.

    Think about Jason Moffat, Jason was sort of a nobody till Him and kern became friends and started promoting for eachother. He was very smart and used leverage to his advantage.

    so see if you can use leverage and take advantage of this, but for that to happen you are going to need a killer product and somehow get to them, and make friends or give them a great incentive. Good luck, it is probably doable, and if you pull it off, I will be the first to buy your WSO if you do.

    NOTE: My original post was assuming they were brand new
    and had no experience.

    If you have had 10 years business experience of course
    it's easily doable.

    I get your point of saying, If you say you can't then you won't

    I hope you see mine.

      Yeah, I understand your point aswell.

      Sorry if I came across as having a go, I really wasn't.

      Yeah I get what you mean about the threads, they do get annoying but just try ignore them.

      + if we ignore them we might actually have some time to do real work instead of lurking about the forum! :p

    Find a product that sells and converts well for a good price then divide $2000 by the payment to see how many sales you need.

    You can create lower priced products and sell many of them. Low priced products sell like clockwork because they're inexpensive!

    Products like $7 ebooks with lots of valuable content and quality information will definitely sell quickly, regardless of which niche you're in. This is because you are giving your customers more value than what they are paying for.

    But emphasis on quality and value here - if its worthless information, you wont sell very many.
    You've got to give them really helpful info. Hope this helps!

    Pretty much with the ideas you have, it is going to be hard to make that in 30 days. See basic websites need time to grow, get indexed and move up the charts.

    30 days just is not long enough.
    You can easily make that quicker though on sites like
    Ebay
    Zeerk
    Fiverr
    Craigslist.

    You will have to work long and hard but it can be done.
