I will share a few ideas, but I want everybody else to drop some ideas too, let this be a challenge for us.

The first day of summer (in america) is June, 21. That's a 109 days from today which means I will need to make around $137 and some change per day for the next 109 days to reach that goal. Either I want to focus on trying to find me two things that can bring me $68 each whether it's selling service or flipping something for profit or a product selling. OR Find 10 things that brings me $13.

I have a job, I work 6 hours a day, and go to school online for (2-3 hours 3 days out of the week). The job income is to pay bills and to build up my personal savings and pay off my credit cards by the summer so my credit will be strong.

However, I have some things I am looking to do by Summer so I need $15,000 by June 21.

What I'm doing so far.

  • Resume service: $25-$35 per resume, so far for the last two weeks I already got 6 clients. But it has slowed up. I advertise only on Craigslist and Fiverr (No leads with Fiverr).
  • SliceThePie: I spend 2 hours a day and make atleast $3 a day with it. This is a lot of work, and I don't think this is going to work, it is too much work, you make pennies to write thorough music reviews
  • Ebay Flipping: I don't have any extra money this week to go to the thrift store to buy things to flip, maybe next week. But so far I've been trying to sell certain things around the house. I sold my NIKE shoe box for $10.00 so far
  • Middlemanning: I'm back to this journey, I middleman from Ebay to Facebook, where I drop ship. I post items for sale from Ebay and post it on Facebook selling/buying group. I never meet up or do personal exchange, they send me money via paypal or googlewallet and I buy the item from the Ebay seller and put the buyer information in and they receive their items. But I had an incident months ago when I did this where the buyer lied and said they didn't get their shoes, and they were trying to get the police involved. But it didn't go that far because I ended up giving him the number to the seller, and I never heard from the two.


This is all I know for now, any other things I can do that require little to no investment... I'm still searching the threads here on BH. I just need new ideas.
 
Thread moved to my journey discussions.

Nice idea though; good luck.
 
All the best with this realistic goal. I hope you achieve it. Can you explain a little about the website slicethepie ?

It's a site where you review music, clothes, commercials and tv shows... mainly it's a music review site so if the other categories isn't available, the music will always be there for you to review. You listen to a song, and give a review on what you think. But the reviews must be thorough and structured. You must honestly look up musical terms and figure out a way to put them in the review because if it's too short or if it sound too repetitive they will reject your review and you will have to re-write. You get anywhere from 3 cents to 20 cents per review depends on how good of quality it is.

You cash out when you reach $10.00. This site is really just beermoney.
 
Focus on 1 thing so you can scale it faster. The faster you scale the more exponensial growth you will experience and hopefully you will be able to make $137,63 a day. If you think about it is not so complicated. You just need 6,88 clients a day on a $20 net profit to make 137,63 daily.

So if you focus on the resume service and dominate Craiglist (read on BHW how) I think you will be able to do it. You can add aditional services as well on top of it.

Thank you so much for this!
 
You need to work hard but if you rank good service in Fiverr you can make this money fast ;)
Good luck buddy
