My New Experiment - I'm not gonna go to sleep everyday until I make $30 - Do you think I'm crazy?

Yes I think that is crazy - if you run yourself down you won't be able to think straight and stay focused on your work. If you want to work well and stay focused you need some sleep!

I'd be concerned that one day you'd release a product that cost more than $30, and every time you made a sale you'd fall asleep.

Seriously, the big question I have is... let's say you make no money for 24 hours. Do you now need to make $60 before you can sleep?

Magic,

You may want to reconsider your idea as I can see it leading to a downward spiral real quick.

Making money requires peak performance, and peak performance requires both sleep and proper alimentation - without them, the brain will not function properly.

Trust me, I've been in situations in the past where one or the other were lacking, and my productivity never sank as low as it did then.

You should deffinitely re-consider your objective. Skip TV time, put off going out for coffee or for a beer with friends until you've reached a certain goal, but you should never cut into something as vital and essential as food and/or sleep.

Alex.

may as well have fun with it and cap the amount of sleep allowed, I usually max out at 3 hours a night, hence my lack of productivity.

I like your burning will, my friend.

And yes, you are definitely crazy, but that's the only way to success! (maybe not, but its a catalyst for sure)

All the best!

Making $30 is easy, but making it residual isn't. Write articles for people. If you don't have the capital to post on the Warriors for Hire forum, put a little ad in your signature.

NOTE : Its the only way.

I have recently read on a site that if you don't get enough sleep, you will start to hallucinate.

Hope it doesn't go to a state where you are hallucinating that you have made $30!

You crazy chico......

You will drive yourself crazy if you adhere rigidly to this rule of yours. Deprive yourself of sleep for a few days (which will inevitably happen when at some point you don't make $30 for several days on end), and you'll end up going insane. You won't be able to concentrate on anything, much less make money.

I'd much rather you cut out everything else that is unnecessary, like tv, socializing, movies, talking on the phone, etc. and make sure you sleep at least 6-8 hours a day!

Paul

If $30 is the issue... sit down, find someone on here or at a freelance site that needs articles, charge them $6 per 500 word article (more or less $ based on your writing quality), and crank 5 of those out. Shouldn't take more than a few hours, at most.

Then, for the love of all that is holy, get some sleep. $30 isn't worth the loss of sanity.

My thoughts...knock yourself out man.

However, if you would take 30 minutes per day and read the post of experienced warriors (and apply what you read) you would find a method to make much more than $30 per day and be able to sleep too.

My Best 2 U,

LindaC

P/S: Good night

if you aren't crazy already, you certainly will be with a lack of sleep. Speak to any new mother, she will tell you how hard it is to function with only half your cylinders running!

go get sleep and be ready to work again.

You maybe should be thinking about what you are doing to get the $30 a day. if you're tactics are poor then you might never manage to earn one dollar a day never mind 30.

Do what someone has already suggested - spend some time reading on this forum and follow a well-tried and trusted way to earn a small amount a day then build on that. Having some crazy self-imposed punishment won't magically help you to earn anything.

I think you need to put in place a means
which will earn you that amount per day

Maybe you do proper keyword research, build
10-12 Amazon sites and hire a link builder
to build links and also do link wheel for you at
the rate of $550 p/m.

The first 1 month is alone after which the said
amount will flow ceasely into your account through
amazon sales commission and also google adsense
you can add cpa or clickbank as well

Hope that helps

They always say where there is a will there is a way, good luck buddy!

I just have to say this because it's funny...

I think he fell asleep! Seriously right after he posted the thread he jolted to the bed and said "Muhahaha... the warrior forum members are going to be so confused!"

Seriously bro, just incase you are awake. Go to sleep. That's all I have to say. Get some rest, start anew and build your way to prosperity, it's not going to happen overnight. Wealth takes time and if you don't sleep, it'll probably end up taking even longer because you won't be able to do anything. You'll be keying away as you write articles for people and slip up and mention something totally unrelated xD (I've done it).

So in conclusion, go to sleep. Wake up. Try harder whilst your awake. Go to sleep again. Repeat

Change the conditions around a little bit.
Example listen to "Barney's I love you" song until you do make make $30 for the day. you have to listen to it until you do make the $30. At least you get your sleep (which you MUST have).

If for some strange reason you DO like big purple pedophile dinosaurs than listen to Bed Intruder Remix.



-Tallon

You're totally insane $30 dollars is not important take care of your health dude.
Improve your marketing strategy research more read ebooks about marketing.

I think he has gone off to bed since he did the post.

I think it's not how long you spend working but how effective your plan is to making $30 daily.

My question to you is do you have an effective plan to follow?

Every person has a different style of setting his goal.. Your's not common. But don't deprive yourself a sleep.. IMs number one asset is their health.. and not their projects..

Dude, i'm aware of the fact that in your country things are hard and the way the economy "evolves", making good money seems sometimes impossible. But that doesn't mean you HAVE TO work yourself that hard and welcome in the sleep deprivation. As helpful warrior members have told you, $30 isn't much and should not depend on your lack of sleep. I have no idea what your skills are, but try doing some freelance jobs. Do some articles, take advantage of your computer skills if you have any, and apply for such online jobs. You'll make $30 in no time. And in the meantime, you'll be able to do whatever you like without being compelled to give up your usual activities.

I actually swore of MW2 until after I had a complet project set up and ready to launch. It took 2 agonizing months of no COD but by golly I got here

Moral:

Swear off of something you love to do, whether it be playing a video game or eating a certain type of food. I can promise you if you do this and meet your end goal, then when you finally get back to what you swore off of it will make it all the much sweeter for you

Making $30 online is extremely easy. It just depends on how you want to make it(what CPA network, what affiliate marketing offer, what adsense niche etc).

Anyone with a computer and internet connection should be able to make money online.

It boils down to 2 things.

1.The market
2.The traffic

Pretty easy to say, but that's difficult to do my friend. It's always hard the first time.

bad idea. instead of trying to increase the amount of time you give to IM, increase the amount of energy you give to this.

let me explain, it all boils down to how much work you are doing. if you spend 22 hours a day and are not focused, have very little mental and creative energy to put into IM, you will only be able to do a very small amount of work.

on the other hand, if you work only for 5 hours with full focus and great mental and creative energy, you can achieve twice as much as you did in those 22 hours.

not sleeping will only drain your creative and mental energy. when you are working for yourself, you will have to learn how to be most productive and sleeping is the most important part of being productive. watch this video by tony schwartz on being productive, it's one hour long but is definitely worth it.

dude don't experiment with ur health. Sleep is part of the wealth building process. Sleep, wake, work little by little and you'll make $30 without realizing it.

Was this post generated 2 or 3 days after implementation of this idea cause it sure is crazy. Ha!

No, seriously... you need to sleep.

If you want to work on depriving yourself before you meet your goal and/or rewarding yourself after, do it another way. Don't eat meat until; no sweets, maybe; don't turn on the tv or leave the house until you've reached you goal. But you must sleep.

Yeah, I think you are crazy, but I like your motivation and willing to make this work!

Keep that motivation up top like that and you will reach your goal without skipping rest.

All the best,

Frankie.

Try it for a couple days and see if not sleeping motivates you. You'll probably just end up tired and less productive but hey all of our brains are wired just a little bit differently so if the concept of sleep depravation is what you need for motivation give it a shot.

You can also go 80s Miami Vice style and just buy an 8ball of cocaine but then you're gonna need to make more than 30$ every day

Good luck and have fun with it, just don't kill yourself for 30 bucks...

mehn cant believe the poster really mean business here
Anyways, i stil wish you luck as well

MagicAce

I hope you have a REASON to stay awake this long and a WAY to make the $30 bucks a day.

If not - I vote for you being crazy.

If you've already got a way to make $30 online, then why not. If you've never made $30 online and have no idea how, than you might be putting yourself in a bad spot. LOL But honestly, $30 is a few articles. No sweat and a good way to keep yourself motivated.

There is another option you may want to consider: polyphasic sleep. This is where you stay on a very strict sleeping schedule, but you only get 3 or 4 hours of sleep per day. Some plans allow for more sleep time.

You basically sleep for just a few hours in a row, then take short naps at regular intervals.

I experimented with it last year, but found it got in the way of other things.

Check with a doctor first to be sure you don't have any health issues that could cause problems.

In theory, you could have a lot more productive time every day for the rest of your life, not just until you make $30.

All the best,
Michael

How about earning 30 bucks a days BECAUSE you sleep? How about this experiment: Every night before you go to sleep repeat this mantra in your head: "I am going to make 30 dollars a day", "I am going to make 30 dollars a day", etc. I bet sooner or later you will have a revealing dream or just wake up one morning with the right idea in your mind. And you will be shocked how simple and little time implementing this idea will require.

Your body and mind will thank you for this decision. You'll be far more alert and productive by cutting out the distractions instead of sleep, and here's an added bonus - the money you save from not partaking in your guilty pleasures can now be spent on IM tools and resources!

Paul

I once did this setting up my first blog and site many years ago. I stayed awake for like 3 days.

here is what I found:-

1) your body will start craving for sleep

2) your mind will start going bonkers

3) little spots start appearing on the wall

4) Those little spots are soon replaced by little green men talking to you.

5) You will start to hallucinate badly.

Verdict: dont do it, not only is it bad for your health. The work you are putting in, will not be good.

Hi MAGIC ACE

Do you have any advice for me to help me go trough this?
>> First my friend I have been what you are going through.. Pls don't burn your self as you will loose your self and end up with nothing.

TO MAKE $30
-DO affiliate Marketing
-Go to click bank and find good product ...
-if you know how to make website then make review website and get paid.

Need more help PM me.

Do you think I'm nuts?
>> Yes it nuts but I can understand what you going thru...

YOU WILL MAKE MONEY.... Not $30 but $300,000...

Gud luck

Maybe an idea:

Create a gig on Fiverr "I will not sleep for 24 hours for $5".

Now, only $25 to make...

Nina

Like others have suggested here MagicAce, I suggest that you don't go through with this plan of "No Sleeping".

Instead, I'll give you another Challenging idea you can try, that can be just as "Exciting" for you.

ONLY Eat, Sleep and Work, until you have earned your first $30.

This means:
No Communication with the outside world,
No TV or Entertainment,
No Reading of Emails (unrelated to your work),
No Checking Facebook, MSN, etc...
Disable ALL Notifications and Distractions!

Now this IS a challenging and experiment you can take on. (And it's not crazy or dangerous).


I didn't want to just tell you "Don't go through with your plan" without leaving an alternative idea.

So I hope that helps
Good luck!

Sleep or NO SLEEP, you are not going to make $30
if you don't have a proven money making system in place. And you have to follow religiously the steps to
make it work.

Drastic? This is true... Here's how I see it and I'm going to try to give you some value rather than just call you crazy because frankly, most of us have experienced your frustration at some point.

Unless you are going to be doing some type of freelance work, I don't know of any other way you can just sit there and manifest $30 a day. Are there ways to get to that $30 a day mark?... You bet! We'll get to that in a second because I'm really trying to help you here...

The reason I say you can't just manifest $30 a day is because there are a lot of fractions that come into play.. You see, in order to make money in any business there has to be two parties involved. One is the seller, obviously, and two is the consumer. Now, you can try your best to influence these consumers to buy from you but ultimately it's the buyers decision. Unless, you are working hard to set up campaigns that are going to deliver long term success. Meaning.. You work once (hopefully) and you get paid forever. There's no point in damaging your health. Money comes, money goes and doctor bills are expensive!

So, here's a plan... There's no need to sacrifice sleep, health and all that other jazz to get to where you want to be. In fact, you'll just get frustrated and quit altogether. What you need to do is set dedicated times for your business. Just like regular 7-8 hour jobs. And in those time frames you work hard and as efficient you can. Get dedicated. Get a plan.

I'm not sure what your strengths and weaknesses are but if you don't mind, I would like to suggest something to you...

-Find a tiny niche with hungry buyers. Something that doesn't have a huge amount of competition but is still filled with people ready to spend money.

-Create your own info product for them to spend their money on. Make it helpful and deliver great value and usable information. No PLR garbage because you want to establish yourself as a respected person in that niche.

-Make sure you build a list of the people who buy your stuff. This way you can continue to sell them products, yours or otherwise. Make sure you always over-deliver to that list and build a good relationship with them (this is the key).

Now, there's much more that goes into it between the lines but that should get you started. The benefits here are that you work once - get paid forever! Also, you build your list of past buyers who are likely to buy again. I'm sure you see where I'm going.

I hope that helped, maybe even pointed you in the right direction and maybe you'll even get some sleep from time to time! LOL!

Good luck to you!

Derek

There are some things that most of the successful people in the world have in common, and there's a reason to that fact.

While it's true that you need to have a certain amount of craziness in you to become someone, you mustn't forget that there's a thin line between the good craziness and the bad kind.

One thing that you can notice among most successful people is that they have a lot of respect for their bodies and their health. They follow a healthy schedule with plenty of rest and exercise, and a good amount of time earmarked for work. When they work, they work with the same amount I was just talking about...

Get a schedule. It'll get you better results.

My two cents.

If you start with nothing, and don't have the means to make something, why would pressuring yourself to continue on that path be a benefit?
With that said, you should worry more about creating goals that will lead you to making $30 each day. Instead of saying "I will make $30 every day", say "I will perform [insert action], then [insert action 2], then [action 3]. I will repeat this until I make $30 per day."
Now all you have to do is find the 3 things you need to do in order to make the money. Generally this is "Find/Create a Product/Service", "Offer said Product/Service", and "Drive Traffic to Product/Service". Once you have done this, you can skip steps 1 and 2, and drive traffic till you meet your goals.

Making money online, like in any other business, is more about working smart than working hard. You could be 40 hours straight in front of the computer and not make a dime. I'd say you need to do some strategic thinking about your business/skills before actually sitting at the computer.

Maybe? but it is your choice and you are more than willing enough to do it...then go...good luck...

C'mon over, I've got quite the coffee bean collection..........

RoD

Sleeping is important. Do not waste it for few bucks.

I would have to say its a little crazy lol but whatever works for you, go for it!

Did you went through this experience?



Interesting to find out

Han

Yeah agr4eed. Thats insane. Dont kill yourself for $30. Go and sleep once you wake up there will be much difference on your thinking state and mood. You will have a fresh mind for a fresh start then. If you badly need $30 then go to Odesk. Offer your superb service then give a $10/hour rate. You will be making $30 in 3 hours. Then you can get some sleep.


Andrea

Unless you're doing something that directly ties dollars and hours, I think you're nuts.

It sounds cool, but sleep deprivation is not the way to think clearly.

It's like saying "I'm going to flip this coin, and I won't sleep until I get three heads in a row". You might get that three heads sequence right away and quit for the day when you could have gotten many more. You could also go through statistically probable streaks with zero, one or two 'heads' in a row and be up for days.

This made me think about something Steven Wagenheim says occasionally, something like how he only made $27 in his first three months (sorry if I've got the figures a bit skew, Steven - I can't remember it exactly). He's pretty successful now, but I imagine it would have been a different story if he'd tried staying awake for three months plus to make that $30 dollars in a day!

You'd just end up with permanent brain fog. If you're not sleeping properly then you're a long way from being properly awake too.

Depriving yourself of sleep for a Jackson and a Hamilton? Not a good idea, man. If it still worked, startup site flipping can get you four times as much. Then you can get some sleep.

I like the raw ambition but suggest it lacks wisdom and balance.

You would not drive your car until it broke down ... treat your body well. Money is only money but life is more important.

With regards your $30 a day I would focuss on building a residual, repeating income. Otherwise everyday the effort spent the day before will be of no value.

Set up some sort of network of small sites that focus on niches (this is the model I use) or develop products with repetative incomes.

Hope you break through

John

Usually you make the most of cash when you not expect, so expect to make a lot less when you think you will make more my story..

But your crazy for me..

Greetings Magic Ace,

I would offer to write some quality 500-word articles on the warrior forum at a price of four dollars each to five dollars each ... take your choice?

Make sure you research first, do a high-quality job, use the keywords at 3 to 4% and you will build up a customer base that will give you some monthly income.

Another option ... You could offer a gig on Fiverr or doing anything that you feel comfortable with?

Do a post in the jobs wanted as a VA ... list your experience and capabilities, and you will find opportunities that are offered to you.

This is not hard to do, all you need do have is motivation ... thenadd that to an opportunity and you will have success.

Wishing you great success and all the best ... Ron

Yeah, thats pretty mad dude

You'll just burn yourself out and become desperately inefficient.

Remember - its all about Output not Input!

It's not efficient at all. You need sleep to be able to work productively.

Hi,

The positive side is your "WILL" and "DETERMINATION". These are the two ingredients which are necessary for success.

As far as the negative side is concerned, do not overdo because it will result in many other problems (side affects) which may drag you from achieving your goals.


Nasim Khawaja

Making money on the Internet = Using your brain
Not sleeping = Tired and worn out brain
Tired and worn out brain = No money on the internet
No money on the internet = No sleeping, which is BAD

I recommend you to take proper rest, decide what you want to do, make a timetable and dedicate a few hours everyday to that 'task' and keep at it. It is always hard in the start you might get 0$ working for 5 hrs everyday for 1 whole year but it is never a waste! Because you learn along and at some point you will know enough on what works for you and what doesn't. Don't kill yourself for 30$ you can make 500$ a day with a fresh brain and body! take rest!

How much have you made lol just curious

Proper sleep is necessary for human mind to think right so I guess denying sleep won't help much.

hmmm... no word from Ace since the 16th. Catching up on some sleep?

But seriously, browsing through a couple of the posts and I think some of you either got very lucky from the start or don't remember what it was like starting out and not knowing anything.

That first $30 is huge. $30 every day is even huge-er (huge-er is not a real word, I know. Something is either huge or it's not. English class dismissed.)

$30 a day in some parts of the world is huge-er-er (sorry, couldn't resist.)

Ace... get some sleep.

Maybe I need some sleep.

Didn't realize there was a second page to this thread.

I wouldn't do that. Been there, done that... failed.

Sure thing is to make this internet thing work you 'll have to stay focused and staying awake will not keep you focused. Plus it's so bad for your health.

I wish you all the best of luck!

The day passes whether you sleep or not.

think of another experiement rather than not sleeping till you make $30 a day. instead of not sleeping and just waiting for the $30, think of better marketing strategy to earn using the net. there are many IM strategies out there that you can learn.

anyways, if you persist on not sleeping till you make $30 a day-avoid taking any pill to keep you awake.

And good luck friend!

I like the ideas that have been put out there already of denying yourself of something else until you make your goal each day. tv, phone, going out, whatever. Denying yourself sleep will just lead to you being miserable and making bad decisions.

I've been consulting biz for a lot of years. The people who make the most money aren't focused on making money. They love what they do, and money is the side effect. You've gotta fall in love with some aspect of this or you'll get neither money nor sleep. Perhaps you should open a gelato store? Be prepared to be surprised! Hope this helps.

Magic You have gotten hook on a nice decision, only need to perfect your approach to making your decision come to pass like all have said not by letting go your sleep; having tried this out before i know how dangerous it could be. Please work on getting a right approach to making a daily income in IM and increase your $30 bucks a day. Although truely $30 is much else where only measure your self by the industry from where you produce that buck. so forget it is much in local currency, only FOOCUS and advance. Simeon

Just making sure you haven't fell asleep.. wake UP Ace, its time to stare at the white wall in front of you (thing which I usually do when I overwork myself.. )
