30×3: an exercise in making money online

December 1, 2008

Day 1: Throwing Down the Gauntlet.

As I perused the net today I ran across an interesting idea: The Thirty Day Challenge.

The concept is that people who sign up will get email instructions on how to make money online and the goal is to make $10 at the end of 30 days.

Our at least that is all I get from the video. I’m not going to sign up since I smell some kind of multi-level program at work. But the idea itself is interesting and something I’ve wanted to accomplish. After SES San Jose in August, I had told myself I would make enough online to get myself to PubCon, but that hasn’t happened - but I didn’t really try.

So I am making my own 30 Day Challenge-

The 30×3 Challenge: make $30 in 30 days, but only spend 30 minutes a day doing it.

And one more catch: I can’t spend any money up front. So no new domains, no paid listings, no paid services. Just me, myself and I and the resources I already have.

I have a full time job, Christmas is around the corner and am pretty much starting from the ground up.

I’ll spend a few minutes outside of my alloted 30 posting status updates here.

And in the effort of fairness and keeping this reporting as objective as possible, I will not use this site to in any way to help me out. I’ll discuss what might be working and what isn’t and maybe why, but I want to keep the experiment as scientifically clean as possible.

The Plan

Well since I can’t spend any money, the first thing I will do is take a look at the long-neglected and unfinished projects I hadn’t done anything with.

I’ll see what I can come up with and keep everyone posted. Subscribe to the RSS feed to see how it is going.
