Default Develop Your Own 30 Day Profit Program

A. To motivate myself, I would put a catchy plan together like "The 30 Day Power Program" and break the goal of $2000 into weekly income goals and finally a daily income goal

B. Form a brief, simple business plan you are going to use to generate income. Since you are looking for money quickly and have little money to start, services and sales with payment due from the customer immediately are the only ways you can go. You would have to forget about billing for whatever you are going to be doing since you only have 30 days.

C. Use proven methods of generating customers for little or no money. Since you only have $100 you will need to make your marketing materials yourself and forget about getting fancy. This would not be the time to reinvent the wheel or get creative. You don't have time to sell someone on new catchy schemes. I'd use direct selling, telemarketing, getting referrals, and generally circulating yourself to your target market. I would use email in a low volume method to target your market and collect names from existing businesses or individual web sites.

D. Work hard. I would not work less than a 12-18 hour day to get things going. I would begin each day at 7:00 am organizing my day for an hour, followed by a few sales calls. The rest of the day until 5:00 pm I would either continue sales calls or perform service and after 5:00 pm I would get on the phone if I was targeting residential customers and not stop until 9:00 pm. If I was targeting business customers I would get on the computer at night and find prospects.

E. Diversify and work even harder. To ensure my success, I would work 7 days a week. I would litterally work my @#$ off until I made $2000. I would ad some gravy money to my main activity by using weekends to scavenge and locate under-priced consumer goods to resell for a profit. Since you are limited to methods that will make money immediately, buying and selling will offer you the advantage of immediate cash flow and open doors to increase your net worth.

F. At the end of each day, jot down what is working and what is not, and continue to refine your approach everyday. I would have a hard time believing that if you did all of this that you would NOT earn $2000 in a month. I think $5000+ is more like it.

PS. Work harder and smarter everyday. Then work even more.
