Need advice on business direction

    Hello all,

    I have to make $4,000 by the end of march.
    Possible income avenues:
    1. Website design (wordpress)
    2. cold emailing
    3. Photoshop
    4. Cold calling
    5. I have hosting to make more sites of my own
    6. Comfortable creating facebook pages

    What would be the best use of my time? I have 8am to 2pm each day where I get to choose how I spend my time.

    Should I try some offline methods of making money?

    Thanks for your advice!

    I would say #1 and #3 for the fast money, there is a huge section here , where you will be doing "$10 logos" all day long, but if you hustle all the internet forums and work fast, you can make that no problem ,

    Have a paypal account, and join a few more forums, do some nice work and show some examples and you will have boat loads of work ;)

    Andrew, you only have two months to go, but you can do it if you put your mind to it. Of the items on your list, what do you most like to do? You could also sell software that you know offers a good conversion rate. For instance, I'm involved with a company that actually wants to offer over 100% in commission as a bonus to people who sell at least 50 items per month.

    I understood your problem but if you want to earn $4000 by the end of march so you can chose more option from online. A lot of incoming resources are available now in online. First you cam try your own think and then you can change it,if you want.

    How about hosting webinars to teach people a skill (maybe something related to design)? You could charge a basic fee for attending the webinar before quoting a higher price for the full course.

    I've seen a 14-year-old boy doing that and he earned at least $1,000.

    I notice you have a link in under your post about Amazon, can you not use that method.

    What are you good at, are you a graphics guy, web developer etc etc.

    There are plenty of ways for you to make it if you are motivated and have the right skill set.

    Please let me know how it works out for you.

    Good luck

    David

    I think having time (6 hrs a day) will not be enough unless possessing some good or rare skills that pay well.
    You can make that much money only with trading something. But still you will need to own money, know-how, be a risk taker, etc.

    Try all of your offline options if you are really from the US.

    Wordpress websites could very well be a way to make your money. However, you may want to collect most if not all of your fees upfront. If you've ever done websites for clients before you'll know that clients can take forever to get you their content. You may be able to do a website in days but they may not get you content for much longer than that. If you collect money upon completion that may leave you with nothing in the pockets for a while.
