The $50 Challenge

    What can you do with $50 ?

    I'm going to start a challenge here...
    The Setup: Youre just starting out and have exactly $50, not a single other thing to your name to use, just $50 and the sweat of your brow. Your challenge is to make it $500 in less then two months.

    RULES:
    1) Start with EXACTLY AND ONLY $50.
    2) NO additional money may be added, unless it is profits earned from the original $50.
    3) Any resources used at all, other than sweat equity, must come from the $50.
    4) Document your process here when finished to share with everyone.


    The goal is to turn $50 into $500 (just $500, not a residual of $500 a month)

    Anyone up for it?

    I could do this but it would involve something called "matched-betting" which couldn't be done in America...also its hardly webdesign related :rolleyes:

    Would it have to involve websites/marketing etc?

    I would assume so. It sounds like a good idea iluminatus.

    I will buy some food. Crap cheap food, but at least I will not die during this 2 monthes (not by american prices of course, but if possible to do that in USA then ok). Then will go to streets and sell everyone the course "How to live 2 monthes of $50" for $5 or so. I'll sell 100 copies and .... I'll made it! Wow!

    Actually it can be anything you want,as long as it is legit... If people can come up with ideas to make $500 from $50,then i'm sure the $5000 can be made out of $500

    $250 is a more logical bet.

    $5 for 3 .info domains
    $5 for a membership to proxy templates
    $15 cheap proxy hosting (visage host)
    $0 whitefyre php proxy
    $5 on lunch
    $20 on link exchanges
    --------------------------------------
    $50 spent - 2 months later, sell your proxies for roughly $150 - $200 each.

    You can have your own marketing website for $47.00 all setup and ready to go. Then you can spend the rest of the week promoting it, (forums, articles etc...) and you should make around $500.00 without too much problems.

    We have users who do that in less than a week, ($47.00 to $+500.00).

    Just set up a cheap portfolio site and sell your service... it's extremely easy to make $500, and you don't even need $50 to do it... just some talent in an area where people are hiring. Or a cheap site to sell an informational product (a couple PLR packs, an e-book, etc.). I'm sure most people could very easily get to $500 in two months if they just put a bit of work into it.
