Business What would you do to make $5k a month then $10k online..

[crockett]

Ok,so Business topic. Let's say you are starting fresh and want to make $5k a month within 6 months. That's $5k profit not gross but something that can be expanded to $10k/month..

What area would you get into? Let's assume start up money isnt a issue, within reason.

I'm not looking for how toos just others ideas on areas to look at.


Now for myself, I can make this money flipping stuff on ebay/Amazon but it ties me down so much due to shipping/storing inventory so I'd like to look at other ideas.

[BaldBastard]

I would not give up on the flipping

I only wish I was in the USA to avoid shipping costs and have the cheap labour tap.

I'm drop-shipping a single product with approximately 20 variations into the Australian market. It's on a Shopify store. I run FB ads, no other source of traffic, just FB. It took 12 months, not 6 to reach a steady $7k - $10k a month - December was a standout month made just under $19k profit. The product sells for $399.

6 months is too early, my site took 1+ years to build traffic and create a brand. and i was not even making 1k per month.

making sites and building traffic is slow process.

if you have cash, get articles/content written, or buy money making sites.

buy ad spots on sites, put cam banners.,

[Bladewire]

I'm not a good guage of how long starting from scratch takes to make $5k as I have 20 years of members email addresses to blast out when I have a new site to promote.

For me, the money is in shooting my own content, hosting it and billing it through my own 8% merchant accounts then crosspromoting my own sites with eachother.

Probably buy traffic for dating or other affiliate offers with someone like Revolution Force. But you'd have to work hard and be smart.

Flipping is good and I'm good at it, I've done it all my life be it auto parts, actual cars, tools or most recently electronics & clothing items. My biggest issue with it, is I like to travel and flipping requires I keep a base of operations and stay at it.

I've never done drop shipping, I was always worried about having the drop shipper screw up and not ship things on time causing me to get bad reviews and so on. I have thought about digging through alibaba to try to find stuff I can import and then sell, but man it seems likely anything you might find that does good others would notice and find your source then under cut you.

Have you considered creating a product that you can sell?

You seem to have a lot of knowledge in both flipping and traveling the country on the cheap. Those are both interesting topics that many people would eat up via courses, consulting and mentorship (all 3.) Check out some of the videos on consulting.com and you'll see what I'm thinking.

Flipping would probably be the best route as you can tap into people's desire to "run their own business." Then you could later tie traveling into it as a digital nomad sort of thing. "Once you have your business off the ground, here's how you can enjoy the country using your newfound freedom!"

Instead of finding something *new*, I would steer towards using something you already have (knowledge and experience) and build something real with it that you can bank on for years.

With porn now days, don't you run into the issue with users expecting to be able to have interactions with the models? ie kinda why all the non model involved solo girl sites died.

What I mean is people who like a certain model for example almost take it for granted they should be able to interact with them on instagram, reddit or where every now days due to social media. Meaning I'd think it's gotta be kinda hard to run a site these days where there is no interaction for the members.

Honestly, I wouldn't feel right taking advantage of people like that. It would seem like a Trump University type thing as example. I know of people who do that kinda thing but I've never like it.

At one point I did look at youtube channels and traveling ect.. The problem with that stuff is it's so invasive to your personal life and people will literally try to Dox you in real life.

I know of one guy I was watching as research when I was looking at youtube and he pissed off some people back when he was only like 15k subs and assholes actually called the cops on him in real life because he was updating daily and had posted where he was in the videos so some jerk off called the cops on him.. (the guy has like 200k subs now and travels full time but still lot of heart ache)

Every now and then I'll get someone who emails me and wants to contact a model but it's always been like that.

People who watch a movie at the theater don't expect to personally interact with the actors and it's the same with porn audience's for now, though people do know it's more possible for them to contact a porn model. There are so many fake porn star accounts out there that most viewers get tired of being scammed or lied to by the time they actually reach the real model, if ever.

I recruit all my own talent, they aren't "porn stars" they are "guys next door" first timers and my content is pro am. I'll cycle my guys through my different sites but that's usually the only place members will ever see them, or expect to see them.

Yeah, at one point it was my goal to build my own paysites ( I always ran TGPs/blogs was just an affiliate had over 100 sites at my height) However now if I do online work I want it to be mobile so I can go anywhere and do it not be stuck in one place.

Basically the digital nomad thing, but my skill set doesn't cater as much to being a DN as it does so much as being anchored in one place. Example I'm very good at building shit. I could build the shit out of custom vehicles, 4wd vans, build tiny houses or that kinda stuff but all that stuff requires I stay in one place..

Hence that's one of the reasons I did the trucking, because it was something I could jump into and go make money with out any real build up. I could just go do it and it was more of a work hard make more money thing which I'm good at that stuff so I ran hard made good money but now it's time to take a break and do something else.. again.. lol

I did that easily in 2013 when I had a family member have serious situation go down and they needed to work online but I didn't want to tell them about or invite them into the adult industry. I didn't have the time or desire to teach any industry tricks or codes, etc.

We went to various Goodwill's, scanned barcodes on stuff to find out the prices on Amazon and flipped everything possible.

They're still going strong after I let them fly on their own... I don't dig in the finances, but that person supports a family of 5 on her own comfortably and with luxuries lol.

[RedFred]

Have you considered placing tiny classified ads in thousands of newspapers?


Seriously, I think maybe you should consider more of what Sly is saying. If flipping is your thing and it's what you know maybe make an ebook on the ins and outs of flipping and how to make a living at it. Lots of people are always looking for ways to be self employed and if it wasn't a big investment for them and if marketed right you could do well with it.

There's a guy who started blogging advice about how to pass the LEED exam

The LEED Professional Exams are administered by the Green Business Certification Inc. for professionals seeking to earn credentials and certificates.

Instead of following his original career path he found that this blogging and ebook writing was making him more money than he could by continuing on in the construction industry, he's now a millionaire many times over.

Yeah I made very good money flipping on ebay/amazon. Hell my very 1st week on Amazon I did $600 in sales. I can do it and not to brag but I'm very good at it, I'm just torn as far as the being stuck in one place.

What I will say, is the area you do it in matters a lot. Example if you're sourcing from thrift stores you have to be near a major city to get constant quality stuff and needs to be a city with good money.

For example, when I was based out of Denver it was night and day difference in the quality of products I could get in thrift shops vs what I see in Central FL. Granted perhaps South FL would be better but I find way more low end crap in FL vs what I used to find in Denver.

I still have tons of inventory and I can pretty much go right back into that business but my problem is I'd have to rent a place to run it out of. To move the volume I'd want to move I need a small warehouse and honesty I don't want to get stuck in FL again.. Denver was a great area but it's expensive as hell for warehouse space..

Yeah, it's kinda funny how stumbling across something like that can change your life. I watched a video on what the top tier game streamers are making. It fucking blew me away those guys were making the money they were making.

This guy doing the video was getting paid $1,5k/hr to play promoted games. IE a game company who was trying to promote their game would have to pay him that much per hour for him to stream it. (granted he wasn't getting paid like that on all games but just promos) The dude was making something like 30k a month to play video games all day...

On flip side funny enough that Steve Bannon guy who was on Trump's team ran a gold farming business a few years back for WoW or one of those games.. Just funny stuff ways people can make money sometimes.

Get an AWS certification (architect) and make $130-150k a year from home. Takes less than two months

There are loads of guys doing this stuff on youtube as example flipping. There is same with guys making info vids on trucking. Example one guy I watched when I 1st started had also just started trucking and was selling used cars prior so he was interesting to me because we had similar paths.

Anyway, I just checked him out and he's at 27k subs now. I know from my previous research that's right around the area you start to make money on youtube but it took him a good solid year to get there. Just looking at his last few vids I can tell he's got people now paying him to promote stuff.

Now I don't really know much of anything at all about ebooks, but I think they are dated aren't they? Kinda like that was the TGP of mainstream?

Seems everyone is youtube now for that kinda stuff. Now what my biggest problem with that kinda stuff is, you really have to focus on it and really narrow down your niche to be successful from what I see of others.

My problem with that, is I get bored of shit. I can go balls to the wall on something learn everything there is to learn get good at it then drop it like a hot potato and never want to touch it again. This is my problem with doing that kinda stuff because I dunno how to stop myself from getting bored right about the time it starts to take off then I dread doing it..

The top tier game streamers are making mint. Ninja is the biggest by far making close to a million a month according to sources but you have a bunch of guys making 100k+ per month streaming fortnite etc.

with porn, start-up money's not an issue? I'd start a KVS tube and get the mechbunny tube PPC script, and then spend as much money as I could on an uploading team

Then get listed on the big aggregators, buy as much traffic as I can, stuff my landers full of ads

I'd be doing this anyway but I'm scared of the start-up cost and the logistics of handling employees

If you want to be successful in 6 months SEO's not an option. you'd have to do it with paid traffic

Not at all if you make an audio version Audible is making a killing in getting new subscribers and selling audiobooks
