Let the competition begin

[TheOptimist]

I haven't visited the site for a long time because simply money isn't that important for me, whenever I need it - there's a way to get it

Buuuuut there's one thing, I'm a student and my mom wants me to do a 5 to 9 job in my summer holidays. I had a long discussion with her about that because simply I don't need the money but she can't get away from her state of mind so i made a compromize with her ..... because in the end it's all about making money and having the money to live from for her so i suggested that I would earn a specific amount (1500 Euros) of money in one month without any regulations or work times (of course it's not allowed to be illegal).

Now it's your turn, no, only a bit. I have a few ideas about how to earn money, but I also wanna hear what you have to say and your ideas. For you it's a great possibility to make a mind experiment on how to make a normal salery with creative ideas from nothing in just a month, so the cash has to flow in very fast - no time for building up much and so on.

I will post my ideas in a few days, but now I want your thoughts to get creative - think about the craziest ideas you have and let your mind play like it didn't since childhood


Hope you enjoy it

Thanks very much for contributing

You ruled out a lot of possibilities when you said nothing illegal.

[TheOptimist]

Yes I know , but it wasn't me, it was my mum because she thinks that a young boy without any aducational grade can make that money in that time if it isn't illegal " you can only make it as a drug dealer "

[mysticmadness]

the problem is that id you want to make 1500 Euros you have to start with smaller amount. at one go 1500 is not possible atleat in internet. If you have ablog or you provide some service in internet than you need to have a reputation to earn that much.

Do shopping runs in your neighbourghood.

Get people to let you do their shopping for a small amount.

They don´t care when you do your shopping, and you can store stuff at home before delivering it at an agreed time. (I guess in the US plenty of stores are open 24h a day).

Why would people pay you to do this? Because (I think) people are either lazy or busy... in both cases you can sell your service.

You need a bike or car at least, but only for a few hours a day.

possible marketing messages: Spend more time with your family! Don´t stand in line for hours, only to have to go back because you forgot something! Don´t think about groceries while working on this important project! Don´t have to drag your (screaming and tantrum trowing?) kids to the supermarket! Get it delivered when YOU have time! No need to be in the traffic jam!

etc. etc. etc.

Thanks for the great advise so far!

These are great ideas I have to say, especially the shopping idea, thanks.


I thought about that:

I made a pyramide, on the bottom there are self selling things through interenet for example stock photos or a book, then there's work like that shopping thing, Deejaying in night clubs, doing some photography jobs; after that there's creative things like selling pictures or paintings through galleries or something else and on the top there are ideas that i have and selling the patents or so.

Maybe this could work, i think it should

PS: there's also an idea I got from a fellow from another forum he sells "the best nutrition" through a website (https://www.noblelifeelements.com/strength) and i could sell these things on my own, it would be great because i live in a very rich region "hollywood of the alps" , so there are a lot of potential customer

But I'll see what i'll do


Looking forward for more of your great ideas


Thanks very much so far, great work

cheers tom

hmmm... not something "illegal"

okey, "immoral things" or "degradating" things are out too?
I mean there's high pays for really AWFUL jobs, still some people take them for whatever reasons.
I guess you don't mean that, but well, there are jobs so bad that they need to offer a lot of money to make someone willing to do it.

You know the "Dark Side" is the fastest way ("Is the best? Not, the best, just the fastest...")

[TheOptimist]

Thanks songwriter for the great hint, i will consider this if my other ideas fail - so i could make my goal whatever comes but my idea is to make that money as easy as possible with the skills and things I have

But anyways, "dirty jobs" are a great suggestion for the quick but dirty money

Thanks, great contribution so far

Optimist, you haven't told us the date on which your challange begins.

When does your month starts, and when does it end?

[TheOptimist]

Sure, that's true - I think it will begin mid July probably around the 20th or so

That's good news.

So you have about three months to plan and experiment, right?

Let me make a suggestion for you:

Start now. Use the three months you have until July to polish your money-making skills. Because it is much easier to get from zero to 1500 Euros/month in three month, then to do it in a single leap.

[TheOptimist]

Exactly - just an experiment


How do you mean your suggestion, don't understand it right

[GHI]

What I meant was this:

Don't wait till July to begin making money. Start working on something right now.

How to Earn your First Love Dollar

Don't look for ways to "just make money". Look for ways to make cash from your passions. If your really put your mind to it, you can easily reach 1500 Euros/month in this way by July.

And you know what? I'll join you to this challange. I've earned my first "love dollar" four days ago, so I'm just starting out - like you. Let's see if I can climb up to 1500 Euros/month by July

[TheOptimist]

Yeah, I thought about starting now - with "non-working" income - I think I'll upload a few pictures to a few microstock agencies and paint a few paintings


Great that you join me, that's awsome man, so we can motivate us and stuff like that

[GHI]

You batcha.

Ready... Get Set... Here we go!

Good luck
