100 Dollars and 30 Days!

I was browsing around some business forums today and I found a very interesting thread on YoungEntrepreneur.com that asked the question “what would you do with 100 dollars and 30 days?” I love questions like this, it really gets your mind rolling. It reminds me of the 30 day challenge that recently ended, and it would be a fun personal challenge to try out for yourself.

There are quite a few replies to the thread and some of the ideas are very interesting.
Its really fun going through all these money making ideas, so for your benefit, I’ll list some of them here:

  • Buy some bread and sausages and sell hot dogs.
  • Buy some lawn mowers and mow some lawns.
  • Washing cars.
  • Do computer repairs.
  • Private tutoring.
  • Buy a product in bulk and sell it individually for more money.
  • Design websites.
  • Network marketing (I’m writing a post about this in the near future).
  • Gamble (not wise).
  • Buy at auctions and sell on ebay.
  • Sell fruit, ice water, or juice outside of an office building.
  • Startup a popular forum.
  • Start selling affiliate deals on a site.
  • Buy reservations at a restaurant and flip them.
  • Car maintenance service.

I don’t want to spoil the whole thing for you, so I suggest you go and read the rest of the thread and maybe come up with some ideas of your own, and don’t forget to leave a comment cause I’d love to hear what you’d do.

You might be wondering what I would do with 100 dollars and 30 days. Well, one of my very first posts is about a job that I have quite a lot of experience in, and that job is being a clown. If I had 100 dollars and 30 days to make the most of it, I’d probably do what I know best, I’d invest in a costume and some modeling balloons then I’d go door to door in some fancy neighborhoods offering my services for their kids birthday parties. I know I can make a lot of money in a short period of time doing this, a few thousand bucks in 30 days is very doable.

What would you do?

  1. I started out as a make up artist and a house cleaner with 0 dollars and have made many many thousands.

    That was years ago!

    Once knew a photographer who sold his prints on the street to tourists.

    Wanna make money? Be bold and don’t care what anyone thinks!
