    Honestly! Not in IM, if you have no experience etc!! Got anything of value to sell? Ebay? Car to sell? Otherwise, I am afraid this is totally unrealistic!

      nah, i'm definitely not looking for IM strategies..

      I'm naturally an offline guy who sells business strategy NOT seo or mobile jondar..

      I've actually got some decent experience in marketing and selling..

      just looking for some brainstorming options for the flow chart...

      haha make if I write a sales letter to the bank teller about me a stick up, it will work?... hrrmmmm

      Believe it or not, this is probably his best bet. You'd be surprised how much valuable, unused stuff you have laying around the house that could sell for a decent amount on eBay...or even on Craigslist. When I used to have money troubles, that's what I used to do. I'd search the house for any items I don't need and see how much I could get for them. The amounts I was able to get were shocking sometimes.

        I certainly think this is a great idea for getting together a starting figure to then re-invest to turn into a larger amount. I doubt the majority of people have $30k worth of stuff lying around that they can stick on eBay, but most people have a few hundred quids worth of stuff they don't use - and I agree with you that it can be surprising. I once did this and sold something on eBay i didn't think was worth much, I didn't realise how it kept it's value, and I got $650 for it, for something I'd paid about $800 for four years earlier!

    Take a 2nd mortgage on his house. 30K from IM is unrealistic in this circumstance unless he has major online assets to put to work.

    Maybe if you're Ewen Chia or Mike Filsaime you could do it.

    Not sure why people think this is a fast and easy way to make lots of money. It isn't.

    I'm sure there is a magical unicorn for sale for $37 bucks somewhere.

    You want to build a business and work at it consistently for years so you don't end up in situations like this. Unfortunately you will not find the answer you are looking for here.

    Maybe a mobster can help you, but as far as building a legitimate business it is unlikley you will make 30k next week without a list and a bunch of contacts.

      Well seriously now...

      I wouldn't do this, but technically this is how one would (at least in the IM/MMO niche)...

      Create a product - I mean the best product that you could possibly make. Maybe even a serviced -oriented thing.

      Sell it for a $1000 or more - and sell 30 of them.

      There's $30k.

      If you promote these on a webinar there's a good chance at least 1-3% of the people who are on your webinar will purchase it if you do it right (but maybe not the first time... )

      This means you need at least 100-300 people on the webinar.

      Normally about double the people will optin and register - for this example I'll just say 500 optins.

      So now all you have to do is figure out how to get them.

        Even if you could pull that off within 1 week (without significant existing assets / leverage already in place you probably have about a .000000000001% chance of that happening, lol)... there's not a payment processor on the planet that would let a brand new merchant (or any merchant without a consistent high-volume history) withdraw that much $ into their bank account that fast. You'd be lucky to get access to it in 30 days.

          Well yeah, you do need a whole lotta leverage to make that much money in that short of time. But it still remains a real possibilty... at least for some. And not by luck.

    if I could make $30000 with a few hundred bucks by next week from scratch i'd be the richest man on earth. Take my business plan to the richest men in the world and they would be thrilled with ROI. I'd be a hero and womens would flock.

    Great question.. I actually think we should have more of these kinds of threads, to challenge our perceptions of what's possible.

    While I often agree with a lot of what Mike says here, I don't agree that the http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...desperate.html thread will help in this situation. (Plus, it will take till next Wednesday just to read it! :p)

    Also, don't know if the OP is serious but, anyway, here are my best ideas atm:

    1) Don't know his skills/products, but perhaps he could hold a huge sale of some kind.

    2) Crowdfunding - check out some of the crowd funding sites. I think you would need (at the very least) a compelling story/product idea, combined with some effective press-releases, and may or may not (depending on your skills) pull it off in that timeframe.

    3) Check out this article to get the ideas flowing: How to Create a Million-Dollar Business This Weekend (Examples: AppSumo, Mint, Chihuahuas)

    4) Get a loan, or redraw from the mortgage. Depending on how desperate he is, the situation, and his credit history, he could do a cash-advance from credit card/s (definitely not the best option though; watch out for high fees + high interest on that one!)

    5) ...no doubt there are many more ways, but that's all I got atm...

    You know thinking big and "doing big" are two different things. The guy wants to make 30k with a $200 in 6 days. You talking about thinking big which is great but where is the plan? Show me a 6 day plan with 2oo bucks. None of your ideas will fetch profit. Getting a loan means you have to pay it back.

    Now lets talk about you specifically. What kind of challenge are you looking for. $1,000,000 in 4 weeks? An idea is nothing without execution. Are you looking for a challenge or ideas.? The thread was one of desperation. Here are ideas for those http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...desperate.html

    You seem to be looking for something specific and I am not sure what that is, maybe you might want go here and start a thread? http://www.warriorforum.com/mind-war...f-improvement/

          Wow.. I am amazed that you cannot see what is right in front of you. But, that's ok, and it's human-nature, I guess.

          FYI, maybe you're right, and the 'rule' is more like $30,000, which just happens to be the amount mentioned in this thread. :p

          Also, the bus-monitor story was completely amateur. It was placed on youtube and just happened to be picked up by the mainstream and social media (hint.)

          So, for arguments sake, let's just say you wanted to duplicate it:

          - get your grandma
          - put her on your kid's schoolbus
          - get them to tease her, and make her cry, while you video it
          - put it on youtube
          - share it on social media
          - write a compelling story about it
          - set up a 1 page campaign,with a crowdfunding site
          - publish a press release
          - and, Voilà!

          Ok, I'm being ridiculous, but do you see my point?

          For all we know, this story may not have even been real.. What it amounts to is a simple few steps, a single page campaign, and a huge return.

          Yes, you may aim for the stars and end up hitting the moon, but so what?

            Even if it is a hoax it isn't repeatable. Viral videos got to be unique, you cant pull the same trick once it is exposed online. If there is a way to make a ton of money in a short time i haven't come up with one. In the fake scenario the guy could offer offer marketing services showing an elaborate business marketing plans to small businesses in his vicinity. $5000 x 6.

            Of course persuasion skills is needed.

            One needs creativity or a team of pooled resources. Noone here is talking

      This is the only thing that would work in such little time. Anything online would not work because you would not be able to cash out in time. There is always days before it hits the bank then clear for withdrawal.

      If he teamed up with another person to sell a body part it would also be easier. If you don't have the stomach to sell your own body parts or do anything illegal, convince a woman to sell some of her eggs for your friend and you'd make the money real quick.

    Every time I see a thread like this, my first thought is, "how did someone get into that kind of mess in the first place?"

    Let's face it... We all know people who lock themselves in their bedrooms and play video games for months on end, then when it comes time to pay that bill they knew was coming, they beg and borrow from friends and family.

    I just don't have sympathy for people like that.

    Sometimes our friends and family need "tough love", and if your friend were my friend, I'd focus on showing him the error of his ways and tell him to sell everything fast.

    I would not even tease him with the possibility of how to make the money fast, because he wasn't even willing to do what was necessary when he had the option to make the money slowly.

    I haven't done this personally..but I truly believe that making $300 vs $30,000 could virtually be the same thing. It really just comes down to finding the right marketing.

    For Example:

    - find 3 products to sell at $10,000 a piece
    - find 5 products to sell at $6,000 a piece
    - find 10 products to sell at $3,000 a piece
    etc...

    I would go to clickbank and target a market based on current trends. Right now Valentines day would be hot..so I'm sure there's a lot of lonely guys out there who want to get there ex girlfriend back.

    Based on the current marketing conditions I would then create a facebook page around something that interests young men, like some type of sports or something. From there I would create a static page with the static HTML App.

    Then I'd go to Clickbank and find a product that involves getting an ex girlfriend back. Take a look at the sales page, take some screen shots of some important parts of the sales page or video and then create an 800x1000 png image in photoshop to upload to wordpress.

    Take that wordpress image (because it's hosted) and then create a new post on your wordpress blog..grab your clickbank affiliate link, mask it with a bit.ly or a tiny.url link and then switch to the html version..copy that html code and then paste it into your Facebook static html page editor.

    You'll get a nice crispy looking landing page within facebook that leads to an affiliate offer.

    Since you're still on Facebook you can drive traffic to a facebook landing page with the provided link from the Static HTML app on Facebook. Plus your clicks will be a lot cheaper since you're keeping the traffic on Facebook.

    Just spend money, drive traffic, and let the numbers game take over. If you feel that you aren't getting the best ROI..target a new audience or create a new offer with photoshop based on the clickbank product you've selected (choose the one with the highest gravity).

    Of course..that's what I would do had I had the money to spend on advertising.

    Good luck!

    I have a product where I earn 25$ for every sale I make. The conversion rate is about 0,75%, but since the traffic costs about 7-8 cents, I spend only about 10$ for every sale.

    Figure out a way to send traffic to my site, and I will give you 17$ for every sale I make from your traffic. Use your 500$ to make me 50 sales and tommorow you will make 850$, in 2 days you will have 1500$, day 3 you will have 2500$, day 4 4200$, day 5 7000$, day 6 12000$, day 7 20000$, day 8 35000$

    Whether you can realistically make $30,000 in two weeks or less is
    going to depend heavily on what assets you have.

    Examples of internet marketing assets might be:

    # An email list of loyal subscribers and buyers.

    # Substantial website traffic.

    # Deep relationships with other marketers who have
    substantial email lists.

    # Skills you can charge significant fees for.


    One of the problems with newbies to internet marketing is
    they're constantly looking for a quick buck instead of working
    on building the assets they have.

    If you have a huge email list and a large group of close friends
    who also have substantial lists you might be able to go to most
    of those lists and offer one of your high value skills to everyone
    requiring a substantial payment upfront.

    In other words hire yourself out for say 6 months in advance.

    Or you might sell a product to those lists.

    But the assets are really the key to being able to make a rapid
    income.

    If you work on building on those three things I listed at the start
    of this post over time you'll get to the point where you could make
    $30k in a week if you chose to.

    Kindest regards,

    This does remind me of something though. Anyone heard of the "doubling" strategy?
    Idea is you start off with a figure, and focus on doubling it over & over again. when you do the maths the idea on paper is VERY powerful, but obviously in reality it's not quite so simple. It's a similar thing to the trade up system, where the guy started off trading a paperclip for a pen or something, and carried on going until he ended up with a house.

    example - since you mentioned starting with a few hundred bucks - if you started with $300 - there are only 7 doubling steps to get to over 30k.

    I HAVE used this strategy, I tested it years ago starting with a tenner, bought something on eBay, sold it on eBay, carried on like that just as a bit of a hobby, and had grown that tenner to over a thousand within maybe 4-6 weeks if my memory serves me correctly. I had plans to continue from there, but I spent it & forgot about it, weird!!

    What makes this different I think, and powerful, is that it focuses you on one thing - increasing your capital. I look back at previous ventures that failed, and I can see why they did - because I didn't focus enough on growing capital, and I invested too much of the income on area's which didn't directly increase the bottom line. If I'd have been seeing it as a process of purely increasing the capital, I can see how many of my previous ventures would have done a lot better than they did!

    So using this strategy to focus on the singular goal of converting $300 - $30k, this is a way that someone with web marketing skill might be able to achieve this:

    Look on Flippa for a website they can buy for a few hundred dollars, which is showing that it can convert but it's obvious that it needs some TLC in terms of SEO, maybe a bit of re design etc., maybe do some keyword research and put the site on a keyword rich domain, I'm thinking aloud but basically improve the website, add some value. Sell it, and reinvest the sale amount on another website which they can get hold of for their new capital amount. Keep going, keep investing all of the capital back into sites which have potential, and as things increase they will start to be able to buy sites which are already making an income, and tweak things to increase the income and increase the value.

    The above would work as a strategy to get from a smaller capital amount to a much larger one, in fact I know that there are many people who make their living this way - I'd say 300 - 30k in 30 days would be a tall order though, but who knows. The important thing I think is to focus on re-investing the entire capital amount back in, many of us need to live of what we earn, so we make a few hundred bucks, use it, then make another few hundred bucks, then use it again - but using a strategy like this would require you to have another source of income to live off, to get the maximum benefit from of compounding.

    Cheers

    Just get a shovel, walk to California, and start digging. If you dig deep enough for a full week, eventually you'll strike oil.

    But seriously, a ridiculous question deserves a ridiculous answer.

    You're basically asking "how can my buddy make $120,000 in 30 days". And I get this weird feeling that your buddy didn't ask you to post this thread, but that you're asking for yourself. If I had friends like that, they would either:

    1) Be too embarassed to ask such a stupid f##kn question.
    2) Be afraid that I would smack them in the face for asking such a stupid question.

    Now let me take a deep breath and try to add some value.

    If it was $10,000 in 1 week, offline, and you were a great salesman, then thats a different story. But online is a different beast, and $30,000 is a lot of money. So the best answer for your imaginary friend would be "you're an idiot".
