$40 a day

$40 a day

That is how much money I need to make a day to supplement my $800 a month salary washing dishes in order to pay my bills each month. 

I have $2000 a month worth of bills. I have student loan payments that are overwhelming (they cost more than my car insurance). I have a mortgage and homeowners' fees. I have a car with insurance. I have a cell phone as well as internet. All of these elements add up to $2000.

If I make $40 a day, I can make $1200 a month to supplement my $800 a month dish washing salary. Each day I will strive to make $40 a day. 

It won't come right away, I may have to work at it. Leading up to the goal of making $40 one day, I may make $15 dollars a day. I may make $40 one day, but that was only a good day and I make $30 the next day. The goal is to consistently bring in $40 a day as a reality. 

How can I make $40 a day? Here's how. I could get another job, but too many taxes are taken out. This money will be made doing it the American way, through enterprise. I will be solely responsible for the money that is made. There are solid options for making this happen. Most of the marketing methods that people use right now, that pay good money are ones I need to understand more, but one method do know how is pretty basic and that is merchandise flipping.

Merchandise flipping is buying low and selling high. You can take stuff that people are giving away on CraigsList and then sell it on eBay or CraigsList, or you can buy stuff that people are selling on CraigsList or eBay for a lower price than usual, and then sell it for a higher price, thus making you a profit.

So I have $800 definite a month. That means people are going to have to be patient. And that's no problem. Their patience will be rewarded after the $40 a day goal is realized. This blog is meant to be the tracker of the progress made. I invite you to join me on the journey to make $40 a day of consistent, reliable income.

So today's day one. I have an hour and 20 minutes before I have to get ready for work. What can I do in that time to reach the $40 a day goal? I could sell something I already have, as it would take time for me to pick up something up that someone was giving away. I need to make a list of everything I have that I don't want and market it and sell it.

Arbitrage

Step 1: (besides admitting you have a problem) Get your hands on a product. When you get your hands on a product, you can then sell it, which is exactly what I did this week. I bought a red 8 GB iPod Nano for $40 that I'm selling on eBay HERE . I plan on making a profit by selling it for more than $40 and enough more to cover the cost of eBay fees and shipping. This is what I was told is the process of "Chatteling". Chatteling is not the popular term. The term used more often is "arbitrage". I just found this out. You can do it to. It's very easy. Find something to sell, and sell it for more than you got it for. Today is Friday and I've got some free time on my hands so I'm going to take my day and acquire goods. I'm going to withdraw $100 out of my bank account and today I will be visiting garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores. Enough said.

Surveys

I tried my hand at surveys. Surveys are good time killers. You make a couple bucks with each survey. After you make a certain amount, the company sends you a check. Often, surveys will be worth points which, when accumulated, can be traded in for money. If you know people who like doing surveys you can refer them to the site by clicking on your own special link and you get a commission (around 20%) of the profits they make for completing surveys. So here's some sites that I did surveys for. SurveySavvy  - pays more but surveys are less available CashCrate  - pays pretty well I must say, in my lifetime I've made $41 dollars off of them All-in-all, in the quest to make $40 a day, surveys are a supplemental benefit.

I gotta find a niche

Day 3 of my quest to make $40 a day. So far it has landed me a few bucks from filling out surveys on CashCrate  and GlobalTestMarket . I also did a few dollars worth of HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks) as part of Amazon's Mechanical Turks Program where you get paid to do various little online tasks such as transcribing an hour long or foreign-language video or creating and using accounts to different sites around the world wide web such as submitting auto repair receipts and making a review about them to collecting clips of videos containing subject matter doing specific things. All these are just a foot in the water in the quest to make $40 a day. To really make money you must get traffic. Attention is the most valuable thing on the internet. Anything you have, whether it is a video, game, web site, blog, its value lies in the attention that it draws. If you have a popular game, the page hosting that game gets traffic, so any advertising exposure on that page is more seen and yo...
