I know I've been very little in internet business, but I really wanna make some money already.

All the tactics and ways I see around require investing money first.... I just wanna make a little money so I can invest.

Somebody knows some quick way to get money quickly?? Even like 20 or 50 dollars

As anyone on this forum will tell you that the quest for cash is a fool's errand!

You are to solve problems!

If you focus on your health, your health expands
If you focus on your fitness, your fitness expands

So you ask:

If I focus on money, my money expands, right?

No

Why?

Because money is the symbol of something else. Value. If you focus on value, your money will expand. No one will give you money unless you give them something of value.

You can go get a job at McDonalds for your $8/hr... $9 if you smile and wear the little hat! Work 40 hours and voila 320-360 dollars in ONLY ONE WEEK! But that is how valuable you are to them. Now if you were more valuable somehow... through know-how... education... specialized knowlegde... now you may even work your way up to 10... 20... or 1,000 dollars per hour. Heck there have been times where I have made 20,000 per hour, and many on this forum have far surpassed me in that.

I don't think it will be quickly unless its from a job. Maybe sell something on ebay or craigslist?

The simple fact of buying a domain costs money. It may be less than $10 but you have to pay for it.

Go get a part-time job for one month.

Save ALL the money from that job.

Use that money to invest in your education and materials needed for starting your new business/investment idea, like buying a domain, for example.

But I bet, one month from today, you'd probably still be asking us questions about how to make something happen without money... cause you still won't have money.

What you do next is your decision.

Patience is key, especially in business. Quick money is something that many if not all people dream of. $50 now, $1 million in 6 months, it is possible, but don't confuse quick with easy. (MJ thanks for this. :thumbsup:) You must put in time and effort to create cashflow. Hell, I've been working on my product since August and still have not made a penny from it. The reason why, is because I did not concentrate on making money off my product immediately. I concentrated on creating value out of my ideas into something that I will be able to sell to others. Now, I am concentrating on selling my product to businesses to provide value to their brand. **Notice how I did not mention creating a profit for myself.** The money will follow the value that you provide.

I wish you good luck with your ventures, just be patient. As others have stated, if you want to make some money now, get a part time job, save up and invest in your business.

Good Luck!

borrow drugs from someone who will kill you if you don't pay them back, sell them, make a profit, and pay the guy back so he doesn't kill you.

j/k DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!:coco:

But you can follow this formula with just about any "legal" product on the market.

Like other fastlaners have said, the only way to come up with a quick buck is to get a job... and even getting the job takes time...

Besides selling shit you don't use in your garage on ebay or door to door, I dont know any other way of securely making a profit without some time, research, and execution.

If you find a way to make booku bucks quickly and legitimatly, without much effort, let me know ASAP!

Thank you everyone.

Yesterday morning I got a call from US Online, and they offered me to promote DirecTV and Dish Network online.

They gave me two websites and give me training. I had to pay $60. I think it's a good opportunity.

Here are the websites so you can check them out:

DirecTV ====> Dish Nation Online

Dish Network ===> Nationwide DISH

I love your comment. It makes me remember my teacher :

Keep focus on your goal, then your goal is expanding in your live.
If you focus on problem, you will get more and more problem

As anyone on this forum will tell you that the quest for cash is a fool's errand!

You are to solve problems!

If you focus on your health, your health expands
If you focus on your fitness, your fitness expands

So you ask:

If I focus on money, my money expands, right?

No

Why?

Because money is the symbol of something else. Value. If you focus on value, your money will expand. No one will give you money unless you give them something of value.

The bottom line is... all you need is a Marketable Solution.

All money comes from exchange with OTHER PEOPLE.

The whole game of Economic Productivity is the task of PRODUCING FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

Your Product/Service-->Customer
You<--Customer's Money

That is why you end up with MORE and MORE, the better you get at GIVING!

Begin thinking in terms of value. Look at all the stuff you buy differently, ask yourself why you want the stuff you buy. Because all this stuff you are trying to accumulate solves your problems.

When you get down to it. All money is, is a Product. You need to be thinking of how you can create something of higher value than the amount of money you want. With the Internet, you can make money by focusing on giving $100 worth of value for only $1 in return.

Just by reading your post, I think I already know what to REALLY TELL YOU. And I'll give you this one for free. Shhhh... You should just go ahead and get yourself a JOB!!

You need to work for a few a while just so you can get the ethic necessary to stick with a goal.

Unless you're going to learn business and take your time to begin, you're going to have to pay for or exchange services with others that DO have the knowledge. For... in the mirror reflection of every Monetary Profitable Inflow is a bundle of Goods or Services that flowed out for it.

So the basic action steps are rather easy.

1. Contact the person with the money that has a problem.
2. Give person the solution to their problem and watch their money flow into my bank account.

Hey, got a question for you. I'm confused. You said in your first post that you were just looking for a little bit of money like 20-50$ but then you get offered to promote direct tv from US online for 60$?? that is slightly more than you said you needed in the first place? not trying to be rude or anything lol... if I would have seen this post sooner I would have mentioned "Cashcrate" (No affil link) its a website where you get paid to fill out serveys and other stuff like quizes, I tried them once and got paid about 100$ not bad... but it was more of a 1 time thing unless you build a downline. heheh

Anyways the reason why I was questioning you ended up doing in the first place is because it sounds like you ended up paying to promote someones product? Reverse affiliate marketing!! Last summer I applied for a job in the paper listed under the "general help" section saying that it was part time job paying 9-15$ an hour and you only got paid on commission... well long story short it was a company called "Cutco" selling knives/Scissors that could cut though pennies, lol and at the end of the "3 day training" they wanted us all to pay 150$ for a knife set to go around door to door and try to sell.

needless to say I didn't end up going back the third day. but what you are doing souds similar to that. Have you looked into US online at all before you payed? Hope they are legit and you are doing well... keep us informed!

a wise man once told me, "if you have to pay initially to work for somebody..don't" lol I don't know if there are legit companys out there that you pay initially for a class then make money for sure so I can't say 100% either way if its a scam or not, but I really do hope it works out for you

I can honestly say my brother took this approach with dish network and made barely anything, was not worth it at all, but maybe it was just the area we live in. Never heard of a start up fee for a day job,

Yeah, I agree. That's why I canceled the account.

Now I'm going to start my own blogs. It's the best thing for me.

I needed more start-up money to get my websites going while still being able to afford the essentials. . So what did I do?
Sacrificed!

traded my 42 inch flat screen LCD tv to a family member for 25grams of gold.
(without them actually knowing at first, but they were happy with the trade in the end lol)

With that money I was feeling lucky so I bought a 2$ scratcher ticket. Ended up winning 700$!

Now my websites are in development, I have an extra 700$ check coming to me in the mail.

I'm slowly making money off my website which I really have not even launched yet.

Things are looking good :)

If I never took action and traded my T.V for gold(value) who knows what I would be doing right now. I took action and good things happened.

Anyways the formula I'm trying to give you here is

Sacrifice + Risk + Action
= ????


The ??? is for you to calculate and decide yourself.

Goodluck

You really can make more than $10,000 an hour? Also, I'm doing a beverage review blog on my own. Besides giving info on the taste, ingredients, bottle design, color, etc. what other values can I provide? I'm talking about non-alcoholic beverages.

My only suggestions, is get focused and create a plan.

You want to make money with blogs? Great! Now what service are you going to provide with your blog? Going to give detailed information for a certain product/niche that only few will know? Are you going to provide humorous material? Are you branding yourself for a future business?

Right now it seems like you got the energy and motivation, which is great! You just need to harness that into a solid plan, which will be follow by a solid service or product that will in the end (as Steve mentioned) create value for the customer.

Don't get discouraged....you are on the right track!

How much money can a person make off of an info blog anyway? It seems making money online only comes in 2 forms: online business - selling services and products, and traffic. Traffic meaning money and income coming from ad sales but even then your blog or forum must have killer traffic and Uniques to get any money through it.

Quickest way i could think of to make $20 is to sell all your unused stuff on ebay. One persons trash is another persons treasure. This won't give steady cash flow though.

The only way you are going to make money is by providing value.

You mentioned you are in college. From your experience, what problems affect college students? More specifically, what problems affect students in your particular college or course? Can you provide a solution that is 1) profitable 2) scalable? Once you have written down a list of potential businesses based on basic metrics, narrow the list down by weighing the pros and cons.

Thank you for your recommendations.

I already started my 2 blogs like 2 days ago so I can start making money while helping people.

I don't know if I should put them here, because I don't want you to kick me out...

shuriken-

You need to post an intro about yourself in the introductions section.

And don't do any more links in your signatures or posts until you've been here a bit. This community bans spammers and sig pimpers very quickly.

I don't understand why he put that message here... But I don't think he is telling the truth about having 15 blogs, 2 websites and 1 forum.

Maybe he has 18 Indian employees managing his sites...
