Suppose you have a gun pointed to your head and the robber told you that you have 30 days to come up with USD 1.000, from an activity that meets the criteria below. Yes, this would be purely driven my money-making instead of fulfilling needs.

What would you do? (I am curious to listen, since I am currently in a similar situation)

- Productive legal and ethic activity
- Doesn't need to be fastlane, but something that may be built upon after the gun is removed from your head
- 100% web based, working in a country that is not the US (no Craigslist here, sorry)
- Non-degrading activity (like making money from stripping to grandmas, lol jk)
- You have no follower base and are not a known name
- No programming skills
- Some internet marketing skills
- English spoken:yes
- Capital available: USD 0 to 400

Moved to the outside. Please keep Inside topics more practical rather than theoretical.

I am sorry. It is true. My post adds little value. Newbie learning... :)

Steal all of my posts, compile them into some kind of ebook with a pretty title, then sell it to the self help/motivational/inspirational peeps out there.

I put a lot of hours into making sure I pump out quality posts on here. My personal goal for myself is to always have my Likes:Messages ratio be 5 likes for every one 1 message.

You have my permission to use all of it. I don't care.

There you go, Merry Christmas! The product has already been made for you. Now you only have to learn how to market it.

p.s. Most people get discouraged and give up when things get hard. Be encouraged when you hit a wall because a higher barrier to entry means less competition.

Before I do something like this I promised myself to read all your post - which I still did not do, by the way. So I guess I should stop making stupid questions and continue reading your posts, man.

Yea you should probably read the ice cream threads haha there is a HUGE market for people who like to feel inspired. A lot of my posts are focused on mindset because this is where people get stuck. You could have a fantastic idea but if your mindset isn't right then you'll screw it all up or not even take action at all.

I'd be grateful. Net 30 terms aren't bad; it could've been due upon receipt...

After you search the forum and discover a million ideas, here's another one: Go to yard sales + used book stores + local library if they're having a book sale. Download a pricing app and use it to find textbooks, manuals and other reference materials you can sell online for a profit. The value is in your hustle to find the books and negotiate where you can. It's the craigslist to ebay/amazon flip, just a different tactic.

Is this serious, or hypothetical? Or seriously hypothetical?
I'd say the answer lies in the hands of your avatar. So get a shovel and
follow the storm.
