RMK StaxBack Challenge
Well, right as I’m launching a new site, one of my existing projects that was making good money just took a nosedive. It’s not for sure gone but it’s at least on hiatus. So, to follow the theme of my last post about enjoying work, I’ve decided to challenge myself to see how fast I can get that income back. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it yet in this blog, but I’m huge on goal setting. I hate failing at anything, so putting a goal in writing and sharing it is a great tactic for motivating myself.
So, here’s my self-challenge: Get my new site (launching Monday hopefully) making $275 per day by the end of July. I was going to say two weeks, but I’ll be out of town for a couple days so I added some slack. ($275*365=~$100,000 incase you were wondering about the obscure amount)
I encourage everyone reading this blog to challenge themselves to something in the same time period. It doesn’t have to be a financial goal, it can just be a productivity goal. Finish that new site, start a new site, learn a new programming language. Just pick something that can be done in two weeks time and make sure you do it! For added fun and accountability post a comment here and let me know what it is. I’ll be sure to check up on you and make sure you’re not slacking :-p
P.S. I really would like to see more comments on the blog. Everyone posts back to me on messageboards or IMs me about posts, but it looks like no one reads the blog. thx.

I’m not going to release the site for awhile. I’ll probably drop more hints about it in the future. I have been out of town and am actually already a big behind on my goal

i was wondering if you could inform me on the general synopsis on how the website makes that much money how do you do it and what is the subject of the website? i dont need specifics if you dont want to give them but just a general idea of how this is possible?
rmk says:
The site’s focus is lead generation. It generates leads that I make $6-$28 on. Get a few a day per lead type and $275 isn’t that hard to imagine.

so just google ads?
rmk says:
no lead generation

say you know a mortgage broker. he needs to have people to slang mortgages to, he advertises in the yellow pages, etc, but he’s no good at the internet.
say you have a guy who is really good at the internet and can get traffic involving people looking for mortgages.
internet guy says to mortgage guy “how much will you pay me for the full contact info on someone looking for mortgages online?”
mortgage guy says “30 bucks”
the internet guy puts up a form for his visitors to request more information and then forwards that info on to the mortgage guy and charges him $30.
that is lead generation.

ok close to what i thought but i was wondering what do you think is the easiest not necessarily fastest but fast and/or low cost way to make money on the internet, something a person by themselves could do
thanks
