Make $100 in a week starting from scratch

If you had to start from scratch and didn't have a dollar to your name, what would you do to earn $100 within a week?

Remember, you have no lists, cannot do PPC ads etc.

    If this was 1999 many people would distribute .wmv videos that autoswitched at the end of the video to an offer page. Of course, Microsoft killed this with a WMP update with autoswitch turned off by default.

    Nowadays, Fiverr, microworkers, and similar sites. Also, there are legit pay per download programs you can promote via social networks. Make sure they are legit firs though.

        Easy said than done! I'm not saying it's impossible or something. I'm just saying that I doubt someone who's starting out from scratch (and no past experience) is gonna make $100 in their very first week on Fiverr. To make $100 in first week, they will have to complete at the very least 20 orders within their first 7 weeks. And I don't think even 10% of sellers on Fiverr make even that much. Only those who are skilled, experienced, know enough good about marketing Fiverr gigs, and are patient are gonna succeed on Fiverr. And the ones who hope to get +20 within their first 7 days when they don't even know what they're gonna be selling or how they will promote their gigs, are more than likely to fail and give up shortly.

      Do you have any experience of doing it yourself? If so, did you get positive results and sales doing this stuff?

      I ask because I am thinking of focusing more on classified marketing and would love to know of anybody's experience doing this. Thanks.

        Wow.. Love that bashing...

        1. I asked this question not just for me but for everyone reading it.

        2. On the internet ideas get stale really fast. These questions make us all think and come up with stuff we hadn't thought of before.

        3. If I had to make a WSO, why would I ask my customers? It's like asking someone to cook their own dinner at a restaurant.

        Anyways, great ideas guys, keep going...

          That's called fondue and the profit margins are HUGE.


          To answer you question, I guess you could just contact as many people as you possibly can and offer to do something for which you could charge $100. You'll eventually find someone who will say yes.

            Haven't seen it because he took it off, but what violation? All I see is that you can promote your own domain (without redirecting to your aff link).

              You can't start a thread intended to promote the link in your sig.

              Here is his sig link: Make $1000 Within 24 Hours Starting From Scratch FREE!
              It is still visible in other posts his made if you really want to check it out...

    you would probably have to start with something like freelancing... which isn't very fun and all in all it is just another J.O.B!

    Or you could do something like Clickbank and just do blog and forum posting... but that could take a while before you see results.

          I remember i posted a similar thread when i got started in this forum because i was lost and knew nothing about online marketing and a few people bashed me in this same way when i was being 100% honest in trying to get real answers to possibly help me..

    I will still go out to find a full time/part time job first that I will have the money coming to pay for the bills and basic needs. Once I have some money cash flow, I will decide on one business model online to follow and just stick to it. I will try to invest as much as possible to grow my business and just take massive action. I feel that is the more practical way to get it going.

    How about emailing 20-30 local businesses each day and trying to get at least 1 contract per day to build a site for their business/ improve their existing site for $XX. Your $100 per week would easily be achievable with a few leads each week and time spent on each online site would take roughly between 1 - 3 hours. Then you could outsource it to someone to get you the leads and aim for $100 per day or more.

      I would offer a Copywriting service on here. You could offer whatever service matches your skill set.

      I'd spend a day knocking up a portfolio (presuming you're starting from nothing).

      A day creating and launching my offer (you would need $20 for this).

      And spend 5 days fulfilling orders.

      This recipe is guaranteed to make well over $100, but of course, you have to have some sort of skill and be willing to work. It's very difficult to make autopilot income in the first week starting from scratch.

    Another vote for fiverr gigs being the fastest way to earn online.

    You can simply offer a 40 forum post as a seller and finish it in a day and get your payment once it's approved. That takes 2 weeks by the way. Still, if it's your first time I'm sure you'd be happy to see you're making money already.

      You can realistically be at $50 per day in a week to 10 days creating 5 videos per day.

    It really depends on what you can do. Find a service that you can offer to people and market that service as best as you can. Once you find a couple clients it shouldn't be too difficult to save 20$ which you can use to open a thread in the Warriors for Hire section. Save as much as you can and invest in setting up some streams of passive income. You can also outsource different services.

    I think this is why people fail. The hardest thing in the world is to make money out of thin air with no money. If all you have is a paypal account, no domain, no hosting, no autoresponder, no tech skills(i.e. cant photoshop), no monies. I can't think of any way you can make money unless it is illegal online. It would take begging to get some resources from somewhere, and, even that is a long shot.

    Some people in this forum are very fond of being a police detective searching for someone's fault.

    This guy ask a question and we don't know if he's genuine or not. In fact we will never know if the rest of the other warriors who have asked question to be genuine or not.

    So what we do, is to give them the benefit of doubt until it's proven that they have other ulterior motives behind their questions.

    If you like to answer the question please do it sincerely otherwise just keep quiet and let someone else to answer the questions and be helping other warriors who are reading the post.

    You don't have to suspect and bash just because you thought the person is trying to fish out ideas for his WSO because you have no way to prove that your suspicion is right or wrong unless it's very glaring. Be nice and everyone will benefit from the forum.
