Starting with zero dollars

So I have a little over a month, cause of some down time between project, and I wanted to see if it is possible to start making money even with no initial funds. Mainly to hopefully show newcomers that you can even make money with zero initial funds, so let's see how much money can be made. I will try to do as many things as possible.

Day 1
What I did today:
Create an Instagram account and setupped InstaPy following around 50 followers a day, planning on warming it up for 5 days and then follow 300 a day, and then after 7 days follow 500 a day.

Furthermore I setupped 2 Fiverr services, one for translation and one for writing in my native language. Also started an Upwork account, and bid on 5 jobs, and already interviewing for 2.

I also in person contacted 8 restaurants and other food places about delivering their menu pamphlets. Got 2 negative responses, 4 that where interested but needed some time to think about it, and 2 that said yes. Where one of them where I can start tommow with 250 pamphlets paying equvalent of 22 cents each delivered pamphlets, so looking to make 55$ tomorrow. The other one I will start on Wednesday.

I setupped an kongregate account and started reskinning a opensource Html 5 game. Pretty sure this one is a Longshot but don't know yet.

And lastly I created an YouTube account and started writing an manuscript, even though I suck at it.

The gains of today:
+8 followers on insta
total 8 followers

Money: $0

I admire your passion. I hope you succeed and show that you really can make something from nothing! Keep us updated!

Good to see a go getter, you are a good example for newbies who cry " i can't do it ". Interesting journey, i wish you well

Get after it! Started from the bottom. Looks like you have a pretty solid plan. One tip would be to use the pamplet creating as a opening to the client, do them for dirt cheap. Then keep offering them different services and providing great customer service. The relationship you build will create life long customers and not churn and burn. Before you know it, they'll be buying stuff from you and referring friends.

I like your writing.I hope you succeed and show that you really can make something from what we call nothing! Update us at any time.

Good luck!!

There has been a ton of companies that were started with little or no money.

Hard work pays off keep at it.

Yeah, just gonna show newcomers that it is possible

God bless you buddy good luck in your journey

Here's for your success! You've got a long way to go, but you're starting with the right steps

Wow... i will definately be following you to see what progress you make. Everything is possible for sure... but just a quick tip, maybe... focus on a few key areas then build up on the additional services over time.... i am thinking it might be too overwhelming doing all that for a start... either way, all the best... let us know how it goes!

Day 2:
What I did today:
On instagram I made 120 posts, so I can make 4 posts a day. Got 13 more followers so now have 21 followers.

Delivered all the pamphlet, and got paid and secured a weekly deal with them, the other restaurant have 150 pamphlets for tommorow, contacted 10 more and 7 of them said they would get back to me either tomorrow or the day after. Got two calls from the companies that were interested from yesterday and they wanna talk to me again tommorow, so looking promising.



Got an translation job from Upwork and 500 words translation for $15, submitted the work waiting for approval, furthermore got an content writing job worth $300 that I am await instructions on, would be 10 500 words articles in my native language, since I don't wanna write that much, so instead I in the morning put alot of papers up about an job hiring at the local University and high schools looking for students willing to write and already got alot of applications, so planning on one of them and give them 50% and keep the other 50%, probably gonna do that for all writing job in the future. Furthermore I am now interviewing for 2 more jobs at Upwork.

Finished my manuscript for YouTube, now I "just" have to record it and make a video and edit it. Also made a list of a topics to do a video about, so I can begin the next manuscript tomorrow.

Didn't really do anything with the html5 game unfortunately, but hopefully I got time tomorrow, also didn't get any responses from Fiverr.

The gains of today:
+13 followers on insta
total 21 followers

Money:
+$55
Total $55

All in all a great day eventhough I wish I could have done the html5 game.

Following and gudluck! Anything is possible if we work hard for it.

Very inspiring journey!

Wow.
Good luck man, you are a good example for a lot of us.
Keep working and hope the best for you

Very inspiring journey! Actually i have been on Upwork for 2 months now, and i haven't got any job yet...seems like the competition is too high in web development .

Yeah web development it tough, I am in translation cause the native language is small, but the average pay in the country is quite high, and not many people know Upwork in my country, so high pay and not alot of competition

I see, but wait.. do you mean that your native language is dedicated to one country only? didn't know that such a language exist. I've checked the competition on my native language, it looks pretty big.
