$36k in 365 days...
New here from Chicago, IL and well experienced in offline marketing. I like being vulnerable, being held accountable and alot of what I do is feelings-based. I have the greatest luck by getting personal and selling in person. That's what my journey is about.
I'm an introverted extrovert who was crippled from perfectionism in the past. I keep a small group of friends and it had me stagnant while life was passing me by. I still can't talk to them about ideas I'm giving life to because their response is always to get a JOB. I quit my job because I was tired of being a slave, plus I don't have $40,000 in student loans to pay off.
It absolutely got to me, as I've lost out on at least $8k this year and sometimes wish I had another foot to kick myself in the butt. My debt is exactly $8,000.
So the inspiration for my journey is personal and money motivated. I need to pay off $8k on my CC to get back to $15k available credit while making the majority of my income online. I want a challenge! I want to create challenges for myself but I will also accept legit challenges from you.
I've come up with my motto that I will use online and offline. I usually start with #2 but sometimes #1 is necessary:
1. Take a Blackhat method
2. Whitehat hat it and cash out
3. Show proof of payment
4. Reinvest - on to the next one
5. Repeat
What I have occasionally done in the past:
Resell on ebay, sell websites, do gigs on CL
What I'm doing now:
First off, I've throttled EVERYTHING in my life down including moved out of my apartment, to focus on 2.5 projects a month. The .5 is so I can remember to do menial tasks in my free time that will help next month's project move along smoothly. The following may sound WSOish but it's my November/December plan:
1. I found a new MLM company that is bursting at the seams with new signups and already has a massive network. So many women want in that they are throttling sign ups. They are lacking branded gear. I reproduced the logo and made a t-shirt that's going on stupidBay. I want to sell at least 6 everyday by December 15th. I signed up as a casual seller so that I have enough legitimacy to not infringe.
2. Bought 2 domains. One is a dead yet brandable trademark that can be used across multiple industries and the other a generic b2c term based on your sexual preference. I'm not like that but equality is alive and always a hot topic.
2.5 My 90 day challenge is to sell $800 in domains in order to file a registered trademark for the 2 names. Cost? $325/each
Ideally, for my one year anniversary, one will be developed into a full-time salary and the other will be a Live Trademark with an amazing name with a legitimate product for good measure.
More to come but those are current project of focus. Criticism welcome.
