How would a warrior approach this?? Money for now

15 replies
Hey fellow warrirors, I need you suggestions on something. I have been seeing threads about people needing money quickly or wanting to make money fast. But they always mention that they have no money to start with. But I never seen anybody ask this question and actually have some money to invest when trying to accomplish it. Well I understand that this is not always the best way to approach IM but sometimes there are good reasons for wanting to earn fast. I wanted to know what you guys wouls do if you DID HAVE SOME MONEY TO INVEST what would you do to earn fast?? I just want to pick some good warriors brain on this. I just finish a season job I had and I have some money saved up ( not a ton lol) but enough that I think would help me out.

So what do you think?

    I would build some niche mini websites around products or services

    Learn some basic seo and rank them

    Monetise with adsense and explore other options

    It's a very safe method to get started with and offers a passive monthly return when set up correctly.

    I'm in the same situation with some new "found money" I'd like to invest in a new totally different project this year. So I've been thinking along very similar lines.

    Personally I'm considering doing something very simple. Buying advertising, directing that traffic to a squeeze page, and doing email marketing to sell affiliate products.

    Total cost: domain name + hosting + autoresponder + advertising.

    As simple as that sounds, there's a lot of decisions to be made. And at the end of the day, SEO is just an advertising cost.

    Every else is pretty much a required cost in this business. Small but necessary.

    How much cash we're talking about here?
    5000? 10,000? more?

    giving us a rough idea will tell us what advices can we give you?

    My suggestions... if you have $2000-$5000 is to make a simple mobile app...
    probably a game... may be two games depending on complicity.

    Make money by selling IAP inside the game AND by using ads...

    The competition is huge... but the market is big as well...

    Your game should be cross platform not only iOS (iphone/iPad).

    Don't neglect Blackberry... it's mainly for businesses, but with the release of BB 10
    I'm pretty sure it will become personal as well.
    Windows marketplace is still "virgin" less competition...
    and I don't want to remind you that android phones are way more than iPhones out there.

    I'm saying this out of personal experience... you'll never be the next Angry birds...
    but with good planning, and viral features/sharing inside a game that's fun to play.

    You will make good earnings that will cover your investment and start making profits in few months.

    Best wishes,

    Tamer

    Mini niche sites can be great and if targeting low volume keywords with not much competition some basic SEO and backlinking can rank them easily and yes you can make some cash from adsense or affiliate sales BUT as a newbie I'd recommend you find a niche, drive traffic to your site from non SEO sources (whilst still doing some SEO and linking) and build a list. No point in playing cat and mouse with Google, you definitely want to be building a list and there's probably more profitable ventures than adsense.

    If you have some money to invest you should research into finding a good mentor. Or you should find one business model and follow it through without working on anything else. Learning isn't doing...

    My partner and I are putting together a team of affiliates so we can mastermind regularly and help each other out so if that interests you feel free to pm me.

    If I have no money, I will start off by working in a job first so that I will be able to get some cash flow in. Once I have the cash flow in, I will set aside some money for my internet business.

    I love Robert Kiyosaki saying of Paying myself first. This means that when the salary come, I will set aside some for my saving and for my investing in my business, then the rest will be the expenses. Most of people only decide on the amount they want to invest after the expenses.

    When I have save up enough money, I will invest in a mentor as I believe that is the fastest way to go forward. I will stay focus on following one model at a time and just take consistent action.

    Just my 2 cents.

    If you know some web development / php / design, you can create a website without costing much. If not, spending some money to create the site would be logical.

    I would be tempted to spend the remianing money on promotion - whether advertising on some related forums or PPC, for most sites it is good to have some money to get the clicks, especially when the site is new and search engines bring in nothing.

      What I would do is to build a damn good list. I would use the money and sign up with this website (Fiverr Best Performers - Instant Fiverr All Stars) to get top performers on Fiverr to create squeeze page and set up squeeze page, sales copy write up, emails auto responder setup and sales funnel setup. Then I also hire them to write articles to build my list by bringing traffic to my squeeze page then let the auto responder takes over the selling job for me.
