I Will Make $3,000 with a Budget of $100 this Month

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 | Blogging - MISC, Make Money Online with 22 Comments

I decided that July is going to be my month – yes, my month to get past that monthly income hump that I can’t seem to get past.

If you guys have been around since February or March, I posted my monthly earnings and it’s been pretty consistent for the most part. I’ve been stuck at $1,000/month on average from making money online, but I have gotten extremely lazy and stuck in this stage of procrastination.

Let’s say if I put 110% effort into the things that I do from making money online, I bet I’ll make a lot more than I am now. But I’ve been caught up with random things that gets me tied up, then I’m lazy and most of all, I am one of the biggest procrastinators.

I decided to make it official and write a post so it’s documented and you guys can laugh at me if I don’t make my goal or if I start to procrastinate all over again. Now, I will update my earnings once or twice a week so you guys can see my progress and I will also tell you guys how I made the money in details. I mean, if I can make money online and I tell you guys the same exact way, you should be able to do the very same thing.

I would suggest subscribing to my RSS Feeds because I’m sure a lot of people aren’t able to make it to my blog daily or even weekly.

Now I’m sure anyone can make $3,000/month online with ease, but I set that goal to be three times what I currently make, on average. Plus, I didn’t want to set a goal to be unreachable but I set it high enough that it’s going to take some work. Of course, I was originally going to try to just double my current earnings but I wanted a little bit of a challenge.

Of course, I made a catch. The catch is the fact I put a self-imposed limit on my spending. We can all spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to make money online (spend money to make money) but I’ll give myself $100 to spend on various things of my choice.

I’m hoping to spend less than that but I definitely won’t go over it… unless it’s for a serious issue.

So, wish me luck and I hope you guys get a chance to subscribe to my RSS Feeds to stay up with the progress.

Worst case scenario = I don’t reach my goal, I stay stuck procrastinating, I continue to be lazy, etc.

Best case scenario = I exceed my goal!

    Looking forward to this! Hopefully you can stay motivated enough to document it all, step-by-step, so then you can turn it into an ebook lol ;) . Joking aside, that’s an ebook I’d buy lol.

    I love the ambition!
    Making $1000 is pretty darn good as is, I’m looking forward to seeing how close you get to the target… or if you completely surpass it, which is what we all expect ;)

    This is great. I hope you try you hardest and acheive your goal of making that $3000. I know it will probably take a lot of work but I’m sure you are up to the task.

    Seems like July is going to be a very hard working month for a lot of us bloggers.

    O. Messaoud – Lol… I think I had the same mentality as you that’s why I had to make it official on my blog so it’s documented and I can stop being lazy. So no more starting tomorrow, it’s going to be today! Well, maybe later today… lol

    Rome – We’ll see man, it’s hard. I mean, I can do affiliate marketing but you kinda need to spend money to make money with that.

    Louis – Yeah, true, but I’m lazy and I procrastinate! Lol!

    Ron – Why sell you an eBook when you can get the details for free just by coming to my blog, or just subscribing to my RSS Feeds? :D

    Tom – Yeah, $3,000 will be tough but I think I’m pretty creative with my money making schemes. Wish me luck and best of luck to you in the Blogging Idol!

    Jim – Well, look at the progress with your blog man… you’ve blow people away within the past month! But thanks, I’mma need all the luck I can get!

    Germz – Yeah, I’ll try to post my updates and the details on how I’m making the money once a week, maybe twice?

    IronBlogger – It is going to be hard. Dammit, why did I enter the Blogging Idol contest on my other blog?! Oh well… lol

    It’s always good to have a goal. You’ll be surprised that many actually do not have one.

    Here I wish you all the best and hope you’d triple your income sooner than possible.

    Hi Jay ~ It was great to see you on my blog ;) Thanks for stopping by.

    This is an awesome goal you’ve set and I think you’ll make or exceed it.

    You are much further along than I am or I’d throw down a friendly challenge. LOL Maybe I need to find my own “pace partner” and see if that motivates me too.

    Great blog … I’ve spent some time and I’ve enjoyed it ~ subscribed and look forward to more great stuff. *hugs* Suzanne

    Can’t wait to read the blog post that reveals your strategies.
    This laziness thing is a contagious. :( I, too, think I could win more prizes if I blogged more often on my contests blog for instance. But I am so lazy, and caught up by other small details. If it wasn’t for survival, I don’t think I would make any money at all. I so don’t work until I am under pressure. :( Or when I am super-motivated, but that’s rare.

    I’m really looking forward to this. Even if you don’t make your goal, being able to turn $100 into any kind of profit would be nice since most new bloggers/marketers seem to have the “no money” complaint/excuse. $100 is something most anyone can cover or save up to get going. After they see your case study they won’t have any excuses lol ;) .

    3,000 dollars a month? That’s a very high goal.. but I do agree that having a bigger goal each month is important. My blog is still new and I am happy when I make $500 this month. Fingers crossed :D
