If I Put A Gun To Your Head...

[simmonsmike7]

And Said: You have to make $1 million in 5 months or less or your done - what would do?

You can do anything legal - blackhat included

You have the ability to buy domains, web hosting, auto responders, shopping carts, etc - just the basics.

So, what would you do?

PS: Let's try to be serious and give real answers (LOL - B/C I can just imagine some of the jokes you guys would come up with)

I'd find an untapped niche, setup a merchant account, get a phone line and toll-free number, make a pretty website, make it irresistible to search engines, and setup a quick PPC campaign. I'd take all of the profits from the first few weeks and pump it back into SEO and PPC. If I made enough in the first month to hire on a full or part-time customer service rep, I would. I'd buy him/her a phone and computer and train them over the first weekend. I'd then spend my spare time developing relationships with other manufacturers of my product and try to get a better deal to increase my margins. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Being Ex-Military, i'd be inclined to start with breaking parts of your body.

Of course if you had insurance, there's your million.

Definately the niche route, something that is duplicative.

Niche route would not be fast enough imo...I would start a massive affiliate campaign and probably risk all the money that I use as my float, and if I screwed all that up...well I guess I would be dead ...but that is an excellent question I need to act more like this

 

[mtime88]

i would outsource to indians to rob a bank for me for a cheap price lol

I've seen sites go from launch with a budget of less than $10k to $1M in gross profit in less than 3 months. It's definitely possible if you know what you're doing.

I think alot of us would be better off financially if we were honestly given this situation. Stop us from reading eBooks and actually doing stuff.

soooo....I've got a gun, I wonder how quick my wife will put it to my head when I show her this thread.

 

[cparainmaker]

Yeah I wouldn't mind having some gun wielding psycho come do this...

 

[ximscreamingx]

That question would have been better with "you have to make a million with $10,000"

I would cash in every investment vehicle I own and show him a million, then go put it all back.

 

[mazemiami]

Well there's only 1 solution run and talk to smitty for advice on the following..

you'll have your money in no time at all

 

[ChangeUpTheGame]

Well, are you going to hold a gun to my head for five months straight?

I would put up a "this guy is going to kill me in five months if I don't make a million dollars online" website. I'd have a pic of you looking like Sadam Hussein when he came out the hole to convince people you were crazy, blog about it daily, take donations - all proceeds going to charity, if I live, of course. Add CPM banners, and some "what should i do about this crazy dude thats going to kill me? Vote Now" zip submits b/c of course this site will get real popular real quick. When you came back 5 months later I would have something for ya, lol.

Six months to make a million?

Hey does anyone have some type of mlm php script?

"give me $500 and I'll replicate you the exact same sh*tty website you're looking at right now!!!"

Then give away a huge chunk of the crappy e-book section as sign-on bonuses.

Generate a thousand idiot mlm buyers at $500 a pop, and sell their info to my friend the telemarketer. That should be about a mil.

 

[bmph8ter]

I'd cry. Seeing as how I'm just getting started, and averaging oh about $1/day with adsense I'd be as good as dead. Will someone feed the dogs for me?

 

[smokes4life]

I would in turn put a gun to the head of each of the top five earners on the internet and make them generate 2million for me in three months. Not only will I have 9million after I give you 1 but I will be able to collaborate their methods and sell them for even more $$$$ after that. Hahaha.........if only I could!

 

[liamizdabest]

I would get a 1 million dollar loan, give it to you, then declare bankruptcy.

 

[projectx]

i would put this story online and get some free publicity( web , tv, radio, etc)
hopefully people would donate that million, otherwise..... †

 

[entity]

1 million bucks is a lot of money... it depends on how much money I have currently. I'd do different things with $1000 or $10,000. To make $1 million in 5 months with an initial investment of $1000 or $10000 you need some pretty fucking unique idea...I seriously don't know how could anyone make that much money without a unique, viral, money making idea.

 

[battman323]

I'd impersonate John Reese and release Traffic Secrets 3

 

[goawayplease]

I'd come here to Black Hat World and post about it, and then take the best ideas and run with them; enlisting help every step of the way.

Anything earned over the million needed to save my ass would go to cover expenses to those who helped me, with a nice donation to BHW.

Then I'd probably write an ebook about the experience and try to cash in on it ;-)

 

[loreen]

I'd outsource a second killer to kill the killer that's trying to kill me
