Hey guys, hope this post finds you well.

At the moment I don't have a job, I'm staying at home all day and it's driving me crazy.
I have somewhat 200 bucks and I want to give it a try to invest on something and actually do something with my time.
Can you please share any ideas of what I could do to grow this money?

Thank you for your time, wish you a great day!

Find yourself another $7.99 and buy 1 share of Apple ;)
 
Go to a coffee shop with your laptop and get out of the house. Study BHW and figure out a method to make money.
 
Just go to fiverr, book mark the gigs that provide the most value for money, that have lots of positive feedback and a decent portfolio.

Then start contacting local businesses in your area and offer them "your" services as web designer / logo maker / copywriter / blog writer / online reputation manager / social media manager / search engine optimizer / PPC manager.

And you just outsource the work to those gig providers on fiverr (and you make a nice 100% gross profit on each sale ... i.e if logos cost $30, you sell them for $60).

========

Spend the $200 making flyers & professional website (outsource it if you are not good at copy & website design etc.).

I doubt that would turn into a monthly income! :P

Well I'm a DJ/Producer and I love making music, my dream is to make this career work and the rest is just details for investing and helping other people out as I don't strive for luxury but a passionate/meaningfull life!
Also I studied computer science, I can code in C, I have a deep understanding of social media advertising and I'm not afraid to learn new stuff, in fact I enjoy it.
I simply want to invest my time daily and create an income. Keep in mind that even making 300 to 500 bucks monthly works for me.

If your in Europe or the U.S. go to Meetup.com and do some local networking. Cultivating relationships face to face locally, is a great way to meet people and arbitrage your online resources as stated above.
 
Are you marketing your DJ business for weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, birthday parties etc....?

This also builds a long term local following when you start to book into local clubs, because you already have a built in email list/following.

Make sure you have a way for people to get onto your email list. Make it friction-less to join the list.
When clubs know that, you are more likely to book more gigs.

If you are asking that question, the answer is pretty simple: Yourself or do what you are good/interested at and feel happy with (not something like lying on your bed ofc) ;)

Don't follow people personal advice to do this and that (they don't know you :rolleyes:) but take it as a list of 'things you haven't known' instead then consider the above factor to see whether you should go for it or not :D

In this case:

1. You should be making music, learning about it, and mastering it. Then use your profession to apply to clubs, bars, festival and perform there!
2. Be social with other people in the same niche, join facebook groups that related to music in your country. Go offline with them. Be friendly and keep learning.
3. Do your own thing - Create your masterpiece and spread it to the world using channel such as "Trapnation", "MrSuicidesheep", ....

Not working? Try again or find another thing :D

You seem to be a qualified and interesting guy. I am surprised that you do not have a job, is it the bad situation in your country ? Making 300-500 bucks per month with an investment of 200 for a beginner is not possible.

I've been doing that but only local, because I planned on creating a bigger discography then starting going broad!

Well that's what I did, I cleared my bank account and got a pair of Studio Monitors, guess I'll be doing this for all day now!
Thank you for the motivation!
 
Invest $150-$200 in professional CV writing services, get professional CV, get job, invest % of your income into IM.

Quit your day job when you bring your IM business to $3K/mo or whatever amount you need to live comfortably.
 
Honestly don't worry about investing right now, just try to improve your skills and try to LEARN. About a year ago I started devoting the majority of my extra time to learning. Small coding projects, simple business principles, random methods on the BHW forums are all things I dabbled in. Not everything turned out to be useful, but a lot of the stuff I picked up ending being more helpful than I initially thought.

At the end of every day you should take a pen and paper and write down what you learned that day. If you are happy with how much you learned than keep it up and work just as hard the next day. If you aren't happy than that's no big deal, just promise to do better tomorrow.
But you have to KEEP YOUR PROMISE.

Trust me as long as you keep on doing this you'll eventually succeed. You just have to be patient. I've seen people go from being a complete POS to a complete success.
I'm sorry if you were expecting more, but this is all I got to offer.

Good luck bro :)
 
I have a method for making around $50/day if you do it correctly. It's what I used to make a little extra money before starting dropshipping. PM me if you want it!
