    How would you make 100 on a site in two weeks? Starting from scratch.

    Build a membership website that offers a service for a fee and make sure it includes a built in affiliate program.

    Well, I suppose there's 2 basic strategies which you need to choose from if you are selling something:
    - sell 100 things for $1
    - sell 1 thing for $100

    Can you come up with an idea? Do you have something valuable... something really valuable to your customers you could sell? Or could you pick some famous guy's affiliate product, and sell & promote that?

    Ad program:
    - If you'd have around $2 ePM rate in adsense (or something), you would need to get 50,000 visitors in 2 weeks.

    In order to achieve that you probably would need to get into television or some major magazine, doing something really stupid (not sure if that's worth the fame though :)) or with something really clever. One guy painted his PlayStation 3 white (sorry, can't remember the link) and was selling it via ebay or something. He put detailed pics about the process of painting and told how he has "the world's FIRST white PS3". The key word is FIRST. Nobody wants to hear about the SECOND guy who painted his playstation 3 white.

    Perhaps you could paint your nintendo wii BLACK, and sell it via ebay? It might need hard work to be done in 2 weeks.

    Creativity, you'd need that.

    Misleading title.

    2 weeks is a very short time.
    You need to sell something to generate $100.

    Or writing the greatest ever content and digg it (don't forget to put AdSense on your site).

    If you have any programming knowledge, you could write a PHP script (or any other language) and sell that.

    Create 2 sites and sell each for $50 (look in the marketplace for more ideas) :)

    This is a one-time profit thou.

    I'd go with the begging option :) Put a site, write about this challenge and start begging for donations

    This is a great idea! Do you think the auctions would be over in two weeks though?

    Yup. You could do your choice of:

    1 day
    3 day
    5 day
    7 day
    10 day

    auctions... Which all work.
