How to turn $1k into $2k -fastest way?

Mailing list + co-reg leads + mail with affiliate links. Could work

Here is my fastest way....

Buy a car and flip it ...then another one and flip it on Craigslist!
Buy at $250 less and sell it for $250 higher...make $500 minimum
On each car you flip. 2 cars sold and you made your 1k.

This what I do aside from my online biz.

If he has $1K to invest then he is well ahead of a lot of persons who are just getting started.

My advice is this: Spend a week or at least a few days doing THOROUGH Market Research..

Find a group of people with a burning problem that need a solution and need it fast. Focus on some of the big markets but dig down to find a specif niche within these markets.

At this point you want to focus on finding REAL people. Don't worry about keywords or any of that stuff at this moment.

** this niche must be in HUGE demand - meaning people are desperate for a solution and they will spend money to overcome their problems. (Think about health and fitness for example)

** Now pay some $150- $200 to write up a short high quality report that people in this niche are having. The report should go in detail and should be worth at least $97 in value if they were to buy it.

** Now get a domain and signup for an autoresponder service. You are going to give away this high quality report for free.

** Now search for a related product on clickbank or other affiliate networks to have as a One Time Offer (OTO) so once these people sign up for you free report, they are presented with the OTO where they can buy right away.

** Write load up you autoresponder with at least one to two months work of messages that will automatically follow up with more high quality content and promotions for related products.(This also can be outsourced)

** Now is time to drive traffic. Since you have money to spend, I would say start out with banner ads on related websites. You can search for popular blogs in your niche and make some offers to them to place a banner linking back to your website for a small fee for the month. Or you could use places like buysellads.com

** You can also outsource quality videos or do them yourself and upload them to youtube linking back to your free offer.

Once money start flowing in, you can reinvest in PPC and other forms of traffic.

-----------------------------------------------

The idea of buying low & selling high has been around for ages.
So if you have some to money to invest this has always been a sound strategy.
The more you invest the more you will make.

For instance:

-$150 from flipping a laptop could easily be made.

-$500-$1000 from cars

-20-50k from Real estate.


Kal.

Do what you know. All these can turn $1k into $0K if you don't know the market.

Invest in some done for you sites. Build up a network of sites that are earning. Either through affiliate links, amazon or adsense.

You can easily turn that $1K into $2K+ per month on an autopilot scale

Just my 2C

Frankly, I think we need to know his understanding level online. If he doesn't know much of anything, he's likely gonna waste his $1k if he's tries any of these strategies.

I mean, hey, driving traffic to leads and building a list, and then writing a powerful email campaign --> WORKS!

But you gotta do all the parts right -

and frankly, I think he's better off moving slow, learning what needs to happen, basics, list building, email writing - investing in education slowly, and implementing as he goes - and being careful not to spend too much in traffic in one place till he's getting a return.

Go slow. Make it profitable. Which might be $100 --> $200 the first month.

THEN scale the next month, perhaps.

I know this is a big negative . . . but I think it's the truth - go slow, no matter what you have to invest

I would recommend looking into CPA + PPC.

Create a landing page with offers for something with LOW CPC.

Put offers on the landing page and you get paid everytime someone fills out the form.

Goodluck

That kind of return in such a short amount of time will be nearly impossible to achieve consistently.

With 1k, any sort of paid advertising will be too risky (especially if you have no experience) - you might as well play the lottery or go to the casino.

Your best bet would be to leverage your existing assets (or his) and/or some form of arbitrage, as suggested by Sal. This does not have to be product-based, either. Services can be provided (find need on craigslist, outsource on WF or Fiverr, keep the difference etc.).

Consistent earnings online, in general, take a lot of time or money (or both). Do what you can now, as previously mentioned, and use what you can as capital to create something long-lasting.

I would do Solo Ads 10 times of 10! So easy to make money with lots of money!

I would suggest to start a drop shipping business. I know one nice where you can get started with about $1,000k and you can build it to $50k profit per year. Takes only a few hours of work per week.

Unless you're serving as a broker of some sort, a drop-shipping business, in the traditional, e-commerce sense, will take a little while to get off the ground...even if your friend is experienced with PPC.

Ebay. Tell him to sell all of his valuables there. It'll sell fast. DONT go to a pawn shop.

He could do some research and have software or tool made and sell it as a WSO

Or have your friend hold onto the $1k he already has, and get a temporary part-time job to make the other $1k within a month. If he's in a desperate situation money-wise, it makes no sense to risk whatever money he has already on any of this other stuff..

Fastest way? Bet on sports.

My suggestion probably isn't the easiest.

Contact local pawn shops and offer to buy 1000 dvd's for .45 a piece. - and then do this with another. They Never sell these anymore. I have pawnshops calling me to come take them all of the time but most of the time I'm not even in the same state. This should give you about 2000 dvds for $900 - use the rest on bubble mailers. Invest a little more in a used Brother QL-550 Label Printer if possible, with a full roll of labels.

On the back of the DVD's, write down the UPC codes in a spreadsheet. Use this spreadsheet to upload as a .CSV to eBay and Amazon. On eBay you are going to do $3.99 + Free Shipping - on Amazon, you are going to charge $2.99 + the standard $2.98 shipping. Most of your sales will be through Amazon. eBay will probably be about 20%. If your lucky you will have scored some Seasons (Television Shows, Multiple DVD's per box) - price those differently - research current prices and price competitively. Most DVD's will already be price at around this price, but you will have some movies that are worth more and you won't be charging more, so they will sell fast.

You might have about 100 - 200 DVD's left over. List them in a bulk auction on eBay or wait it out, or even put them up on CL in bulk for a cheap price.

You will have turned $1000 into roughly $2300 which is about my average when I was doing this as a way to increase my eBay feedback and Amazon Transaction History so that I could hold on to my TRS status on eBay to keep saving a lot of money on eBay fees and be less prone to bad feedback, and also keep my DSR's high because I shipped very quickly using USPS First Class Mail. Sometimes I would get a lot more Seasons because someone who collected something like all of the seasons of Friends, Simpsons, Smallville, etc would bring them all in at once and I could more than triple my money on those.

Forex.

PPC only these two.

If I had an email marketing campaign that I knew would convert with the right numbers, I'd invest $1,000 in PPC looking to get $2,300 out of it.

1. Go to the nearest casino
2. Play roulette
3. Bet it all on black (or red)

The WF admins need to do something to stop these "How to make $xxxx by next thursday" threads... They mislead people into thinking that IM is a casino house or something... Plus they are most unrealistic.

better to get flip flippa ....that would be the best idea so far i am considering

Start small and focus on learning. Don't do something that you don't know.

You need to build your business from the bottom.

does he have any kind of specific knowledge or skills? He can sell his knowledge.
For instance,If he knows some strategies to gain money from forex or stocks, he can teach others in exchange for money.
Hope it help

You said the fastest way not the safest way.

Roulette. All day.
