what would it take to make $5k in 2 months?
 

Does anyone think it is feasible or at least possible to sell out manual labour and be able to make that much in 2 months time?

Of course, depending on your skill level you can charge a lot if your good.

why not.

5k in 2mths is nothing, even in 1mth is nothing

thats only $83 a day, what all can you do?

5000/30 per sale =167 sales

167sales/ 60days = roughly 3sales a day


3sales a day.... Piece a cake with EpicCash...

So yes it's possible...:winkwink:

I'm talkking work. not sales. Sales is "icing on the cake". I'm talking client work.

Why not? 5k is nothing.

Of course you can...

What can't I do LOL.

Check out my Portfolio and check around. I used to do JUST gallerya nd freesite submissions. I made good money on them but realized I can't put all eggs in one basket and moved away from them. I still do occasional campaings. in fact, doing one now. I enjoy building for others though. Quicker money, happy customers, happy sponsors. I have also joined the team at CSWcash.com for recruitment. I am also running some SE campaigns that will take time to reach profitable results. It's all a slow buildup process for each thing, however I believe it is the best for long term to have more than one thing going so if one thing fails, I have a few others to fall back on while I fix the failure.

Being relatively new in the design aspect of the biz I have to severely undercut everyone. Hard to make profit on that :) I have other projects in the works but they will take time to pay off comfortably. I took a complete shift in what part of the biz I sit in. Instead of relying on one thing I have gotten myself into a half adozen different projects. With a baby comming I have to come up with serious cash before all this pays off so I can get a decent little car, pay for movers since I simply cannot move all this shit myself and stock up on baby things. So now I am looking into what people need done the most and what is profitable. A lead or anything to help point me into teh right dorection for some quick cash is all I need. After which, my own projects should have matured, word of mouth for my own design company should spread more and I can feel more comfortable and chase bigger things again.

2500 a month


google.com can make you that kinda crap money easy

Maybe to many of you who have already made your bank roll. To someone who hasen't.. it's a whole fucking lot.

2500/month is not too difficult if you work :2 cents:

Working on it already. Going to take a bit more time. I am doing it as legitly as possible.

work is not a problem. Finding it is whent here are 150 dozen foreigners doing work for $1 an hour :) :)

5k in two months is easy.

I'm trying to break the 4k a month barrier. I keep dropping to 3

5k in 2 months?

burgerking nightshift manager $8.50 an hour 50 hour weeks with $12.75 for the extra 10 hours a week overtime

two months average out to 9 weeks

( 8.5x40 + 12.75x10 ) x 9weeks = $4207.50

Congrats, if you get up to 5k in two months you'll be making 400 a month more than a Burger King nightshift manager, the good life man... the good life

Yep, if you push hard enough you can make really good money being a designer for others.

no room for expenses? sad

that's sad math for me , I'm working 17 hours per day writting descs for galleries , and I'm barely doing $2,600/month.
I'm tried to drive some traffic , but I can't convert a shit :(

wow. i feel for you people.

thanks!

do0d two words:

crack cocaine




you can make way more than that. :thumbsup

You could always just beg for donations...seems to be pretty popular around here nowadays

I thought you did gallery design? How the hell aren't you making at LEAST 5k a month from that? WTF?

uhm.. I just started this not too long ago. Things don't happen overnight for ya know.

Just not my style. i would rather work my ass off than take handouts.

It really sounds like you're spreading yourself too thin... I can see what you mean about reducing risk, but this is also an inherently risky business and if it decides to, providence will still ass fuck you no matter what you do... you'll make more money if you specialize in one or two things, really work them hard and master them.

I want to know what it would take to make $500 in 1 month :thumbsup

Now I don't feel so bad LOL I can do 1k with no effort.

I'm just trying to help you :P
If someone tells you how to make $500 just do that 10 times and bammmmm you have $5000 :)

if only people here would be a little bit skilled they wouldnt cry over 5000 bucks in 2 months haha
stop posting
get your lazy asses to work

i hear mcd is hiring

Piece O' Cake!!!!!

Just go to Harvard Medical School, become a Neuro Surgeon and you can charge that per hour.

:)

Ask $5 :)

lol :1orglaugh

don't be such a fucking asshole. Not everyone has bankroll to get started. I am starting from ZERO.

hahhahah.. :thumbsup

anyways, I guess I came to the wrong place for any encouragment. Insults, put downs and desperate attempts from webmasters to make themselves feel better is what I saw when I woke up and opened this thread.

I was curious if designing can pull any money or if I should have put my effort into something else. Instead I get this... thanks guys.


For the few who had possitive things to say. Thank you very much.

To the rest... I'll remember...


To some of you 5k is nothing... to me it is more than I have ever seen in my life at any given time. Don;t forget your roots people. We all came from nothing at one point. THose who were entered with money, good for you, doesn't make you any better,

Actualy, for those who gave DIDN'T insult. Hit me up and I'll cut some design deals today :)

You've been doing it for more then 1 month from what I can tell, you should be at least making $2500/month from design by this point without much effort marketing yourself. I'll keep you in mind to send referrals to the next time someone's looking for work though.

maybe as a drug dealer or a hitman :Graucho

or ARS sig whore :)

Guys like you bring to this damn place useful advices and really make people trying better and do not give up this biz, while some motherfuckers cannot make any sense, shouting "So you know where you are and go fuck yourself then!". Help will be always appreciated.
Respect.
