Using only the $50 and using only legal means, how confident are you that you could turn that $50 into $250 in 10 days? You can use online or off-line methods (or both). How confident are you? Just for fun, I am interested in others opinions on this.
1) In 10 days, you are still trying to figure out what to do with your $50, but you still have it... 2) in 10 days, you have spent your $50... now you wish that you had it back.... In the real world, you have bills to pay. If everyone had the ability to turn $50 into more, then I would imagine we would be living in a better place. It takes skill to turn $1 into $5 or $50 into $250... Either you have those skills or you dont. You can either do it, or you cant...
True story. A few years ago I tried to sell stuff on ebay. One day I stopped by Big Lots! and saw basic / cheaply made Elvis Presley watches. They were $4.95 or something like that each. I thought "What the heck, I am going buy 20 of them to see if I can resell them on ebay." To my utter surprise, each one of them sold for anywhere from $14 to $22 in a 3 day auction. Needless to say I milked that cow until every Big Lots! in my area ran out of those watches. I thought about special ordering them, but it would have cost me a whole lot more, so I quit selling them. Ebay can be a quick and easy way to make a fast buck. But you need to stumble across something that will sell on it like hot cakes.
Yea, this could be done using eBay very easily. I've purchased broken iPhones for less than $50 and made that kind of profit.
Better to promote affiliate programs online. Here you need to invest only for advertising your affiliate links.
This is possible, but it does not guarantee a flip. I believe if you purchase something, as in an item of some sort your chances of making a profit is double if not tripled. Using affiliate links, programs etc will be extremely difficult to make some sort of profit. Also it'll take 10x more effort & time.
