I am serious here. So I am interested in serious ideas.
How does a guy with some savings today make big easy quick (beq) money, without getting in trouble with the law and without risking life or limbs?
How big? At least a million dollars and more.
How easy? Without having to slave eight hours a day five to seven days a week, like not working in an office or doing field work or working with one’s muscles and by manual skills . . . Easy in any way you can intelligently understand easy, OK?
How quick? In not more than two years time.
Guys with certified high I.Q.'s specially geniuses, please help.
Ain’t going to happen. The only sure way to make a lot of money is with hard work, dedication and ambition. The quick and easy ways–the lottery, the stock market and other get-rich-quick schemes are extrememly risky, at best. Read the autobiography of any multimillionaire who earned his money. There are no shortcuts, sorry.
You could try putting together drilling deals and promoting them. You can work all kinds of deals to gain access to data without paying for it. Cut a deal with a geophysicist or a geologist to work up potential drillsites for you, then option the land (costs less than leasing it) for an 80% Net Revenue Interest and sell it to a company who’ll drill it for a 75% NRI. You get all your land money back when you sell it, you have 5% royalty to divvy up between you and your geoscientist, you might be able to tack a $10-30K promote on the upfront cash and you get to back-in for a 20% working interest when the well pays out.
In two years you might be able to get four of these done, and if one works and finds a modest 250,000 barrel field, you’ll have assets worth about one and a half million bucks.
Highly profitable ventures are generally more likely to be risky, for example you might put up your savings as venture capital for a fledgling dotcom - maybe it will become the next eBay, probably it won’t (and it is bye bye money).
Or you could invest it in a fixed-term savings bond at the bank; this is very likely to perform as expected, but isn’t very profitable.
Get a job driving the train. The test is a joke (I’ve seen it), the job isn’t very difficult, you work about 3-4 months out of the year, typically, and you make six figures for running over hobos in the middle of the night.
Only problem: gotta know people to get into the business. Friend of mine has this job, makes bank, and I’m reasonably certain that he’s actually clinically retarded.
Approximately how much starting capital are we talking.
Ambition is good
Poor work ethic, that right there will cripple your chances.
Uh I hate to break this to you but…most businesses are barely breaking even at this point.
You are basically standing in a pool of them here…when they tell you you’re nuckin futs, it just might be correct.
Toss us something to work with. What level of education do you posess, what skills or trades are you interested in or familiar with. Still no way in hell you are going to be a millionaire in 2 years short of heavy drug dealing. IF you want to talk 15-20 years, there are ways…2 years, buy lottery tickets.
Listen to the chorus. I was being a bit tongue in cheek. You could acquire assets in excess of a million dollars in less than two years in a variety of ways, but not starting cold. The example I gave above might work for somebody who’s already got 10+ years experience in that business.
What you need, of course, is a Clever Money-Making Idea. The thing is, once a Clever Money-Making Idea becomes public knowledge, it becomes far less lucrative. More and more people start competing to do it, thus driving down profits to the point where you have to work pretty hard to make money.
So nobody is going to give you any ideas, and if they do, those ideas are worthless.
But if you talk to lots of people about business, about life, about their problems, and think about things a lot, you might see an opportunity to jump on. It still might take some elbow grease and patience to make things happen, though.
Of course, if you are really really serious email me and for 100K I can show you how you can make a million in as little as six months. Via my new program, no inventory, no long training, no hidden costs. 100% guarenteed or your money back if you havent brought your million in one year.
You’re doing this the wrong way round, Susma Rio Sep. You’ve blown it because now we know that you don’t know how to make us rich.
You should have started by telling us you were one of those super intelligent guys who knows how to get rich quick, and then you should have offered to cut us in at $100 a pop.
Use your savings to buy a Bible, some Billy Graham tapes, a shiny suit, and a couple weeks off work, carefully studying the celebrity personalities on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Perhaps you could try your hand at evangelism, they seem to make a lot of money for very little work.
Hell, Jan Crouch’s make-up and wig budget must account for thousands of dollars per day alone.
I am Prince “Princhester” Aboutcha, son of late General Sonny Aboutcha, Ex-military Head of states of the Federal Republic of Australia who died on 8th June 1998 of excessive barbeque consumption. l contacted you because of my need to deal with persons whom my family and l have had no previous personal relationships. Since the death of my father, my family had been subjected to all sorts of unwanted party invitations and cartons of beer with lots of negative reports emanating from the local hardware stores about my father. The present hardware store has also ensured that our trading accounts are frozen due to our excessive purchasing of “Beefmaster” four burner carcass cooker stoves.
It is in view of this that I seek your cooperation and assistance in the transfer of the sum of A$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Pacific Pesos only) being the very last of my family party funds in my possession and control. An earlier attempt in the physical movement of the sum of A$47,000,000.00 was to no avail as the money was confiscated by the hardware’s debt collectors and my account card impounded at the local Muritala Mohammed mall in suburban Brisbane in August 1998. The hardware has seized all our outdoor furniture and frozen all our butchershop accounts both local and International, but my only hope now is the available A$30,000,000.00 which l carefully packed and deposited in a Barbeque’s Galore stockroom where my brother-in-law is working as a General manager when my father died. If you are willing to assist us in receiving this money on our behalf, please contact my brother-in-law Alhaji Big Bubba Aboutcha immediately on the following Telephone Number DELETED or please_scam_me@my_peril.COM to discuss the details and negotiate your reward, which l can assure you, will be very substantial (several sausages, a bun and maybe some steak). Please, ensure to keep this proposal very secret and confidential because we all know what a bore gatecrashers are at a private barbie. We await your immediate response.
Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door. Alternatively, marry a tall muscular woman, have two daughters, and train them to play tennis as soon as they can walk. It won’t get you your million in 2 years, but it might net you as much as 40 million over the next 20.
Actually, my best suggestion is land speculation. Find a high growth area (around a southern university for example) and buy something that will be turned into high margin college housing soon afterward. Bingo.
