Today is the first day of my new experiment.
I built a website for my experiment business today and have the site fully built out with on-page SEO complete for 2/6 keywords I am targeting. I have already started building backlinks. All of this took me about 3 hours and less than $10 for expenses so far for the domain and hosting.

This is the basis for my experiment to see how little I can spend, as I will spare every expense that I can.
Along with spending as little as possible I will work as few hours as possible, yet still attempt to build a business that will produce enough profit to provide for a family.
I will also attempt to achieve my financial goals in as short a time period as possible.

The reason I am doing this is to provide a survival plan for those forced out of their careers by the struggling economy. If I succeed, others could follow what I did to keep them afloat when the chips are down.
