You Can Make $1000 In One Day… Or Can’t You?

One of my favorite and sneakiest bloggers, Kumiko Suzuki, published a post on her blog, teaching webmasters how to make $1000 in 24 hours. At first it looked like a brilliant plan to me, but in theory, not everything will work, not for everyone — for sure.

Announce paid review prices will increase to $200 - I usually receive one or two review requests per week. With an announcement that prices will increase drastically, I predict that I could pull at least five orders at the current $80 rate. Money made: $400

This is only good for blogs with high traffic of advertisers, who will get to read, within these few hours about the prices increase AND get a review. Not only this, but you ought to have people ordering you on a weekly basis, PR, traffic — which narrows down the options to minimum. The chances of an average blogger to make $400 off this announcement are slim. Next..

Sell ten lifetime links - If I can sell ten monthly links for $15 each, it should be easy to sell fifteen lifetime links for $20 each. Money made: $300

This is the only trick that is easy to implement into reality, but again, traffic, readers and PR would be good to have. “Lifetime links” sounds bad though. How long is a “life time”? 40 years? Or 3 months, until the domain you sold it on , expires? It would be more realistic to sell annual links for a slightly cheaper price, so yes, $20 for annual link on PR 3 blog with 200+ daily visitors is realistic, but the question is, will you find 15 advertisers in 24 hours and will YOU be willing to add 15 links to your sidebar? Next…

Pimp out my banner ads for a year - CashQuests currently has seven banner ad placements that start at $60 per month. I predict that they’d be gone in a few hours if I offered them at $30 for the rest of the year. Money made: $210

Again, would doubtlessly work for CashQuest, but won’t work for a less popular blog. Next…

Open up the footer - You’d buy able to buy my entire footer for life to put anything you like in there. That’s got to be worth at least $50. Money made: $50

$50 for having your footer totally screwed up for the rest of your life is just does not worth it, if you ask me.

Feedvertising - I haven’t done it on CashQuests yet, but looking at current market rates it would be a bargain to advertise in my feed for $40 for the rest of the year. Money made: $40

Okay, let’s be practical. The Internet mogul John Chow has made in August almost 18,000$, out of which, feedvertising was only 50$. Bearing in mind that many advertisers pulled away from Text Link Ads because of their issues with Google, the chances that you will make 40$ off your feed are… damn small, especially in a 24 hours time frame.

Conclusion?

In reality, you can make $1000 online in 24 hours, and even more, but you need a very very popular blog for this purpose, and if you already have a very popular blog, it’s practically mindless to sell lifetime links and footers, when you know you can generate significantly bigger revenue in a slightly longer time frame.
