The Double Challenge

The Experiment: Find a penny, and find a way to double it. Then keep on doubling until I have enough money to pay off my mortgage.

GottaPlay

Ok, I've decided that my product wasn't a good one to promote after all. With the two week trial, I wouldn't know if how I was doing until at least two weeks after I started. Also, not too many people seem to be interested in that game. So.... I decided to promote GotaPlay.com instead. These guys rent computer games to people for a fixed price each month. You can keep each game as long as you want without late fees. You can rent an unlimited number in a month as well, (well, only limited with how long it takes to send them back and forth in the mail). No extra shipping fees. The good part about this one, is that no one has to buy anything this time. They only have to make an account and I get paid! Hopefully this one works better, and I should know pretty quickly how I am doing and if I should stop or not.

Aces High!

Ok, I've read the GoogleCash E-Book, and it is very interesting. It appears to be a very straight forward strategy to make some extra cash as an affiliate marketer. I spent some time trying to pick the right product. First, I looked at this cool lease swapping site. I think this is a great idea, but not the best to promote because it would take a while before you see a return. I decided instead to promote an awesome PC game called Aces High II. This is an awesome WWII based combat flight game! You literally are dogfighting other people from all over the world at the same time. Pretty cool. There's even a two week trial, which makes it more attractive, but again I will be waiting a bit to see a return. Oh well. I guess I have to pick something. Stay tuned to see how I do. I'm kind of excited since I've never tried anything like this before. If this works out, then this would be an easy way to earn a passive income! Awesome!

My first investment purchase!

Ok, I decided that i had to come up with a new strategy for this level. One of my friends has tried doing this, and according to him, it works! Basically, you earn money by sending people to companies websites. If they buy something while they're at the company's site, then you will earn a commission. It's kind of like a finder's fee. Now of course my problem is that I have no idea how to do this. My friend recommended I purchase this e-book, which explains a simple way to set this up and earn a passive income. If you do it right, and you are good at it, then once you set it up, all you have to do is sit back and watch the money roll in. Of course, you need to spend some time learning how to do it, but it's perfectly legal and companies WANT you to do it because they sell more things this way.

Will it work? I have no idea, but it cost me $75.97 (Canadian Dollars - It's cheaper than that for you Yanks out there.) If it works then what's 75 bucks. Apparently some people can make hundreds or even thousands every month just by taking a half hour every now and again to set these things up. I'll keep you posted if this is worth it (obviously). Let me be your Guinnea Pig!

New Level - $108.74 to $217.48

It's amazing how fast some deals go down. My father in-law was throwing out some old speakers and an amplifier. I told him that if he was just going to throw it out, I would take it off his hands. I got them last night. In less than 24 hours, I sold the guitar speaker and amplifier for $50. After subtracting a buck for gas and adding 11 cents that I found, it bring me to a new level! $108.74 to $217.48! AND I still have two old speakers to sell and already have someone interested. I already have something in mind for my strategy for this level. Stay tuned...

23 cents

I've been really busy at work these days, so not much is being on on this project. The good news is I have found 23 cents since I last posted. Almost at $60, although approaching it very slowly. I need to find something else to sell. Maybe I'll go to a few garage sales this weekend.

Found 15 cents

Was walking through the Chefs Court at the local mall. This place is a GOLD MINE! I found 15 cents in just a few minutes. If anyone watched me they would be wondering why I was tying my shoes 5 times in 2 minutes.
