I’ll take your $25.00 and turn it into $50.00

How do I do that? I’ll just pay myself to write an article. It would work like this. I am writing this article. I win the $25.00. I put the $25.00 in my pocket because I already did the work. What I need is a return on my investment.

Money I expect to gain - Thats a no brainer, look at the title. I expect to make $25.00. Isn’t that what this writing project is all about? It’s like investing my $25.00 for writing the article. Talk about a WIN-WIN situation! I write an article - you give me $25.00. Right off the GIT-GO I’m even. But - I want to invest my effort, and turn it into something.

Pretty simple! I will put text ads on this article and make $25.00. Lets see, I get a CTR of 3%. Whoops, that’s a techy term. If I get 100 visits, I will average 3 clicks. OK, so to make $25.00, I need to know how much I make per click. That’s a secret of course, but we can make up something. Let’s say $.35 per click. WOW! I only need 72 clicks. Piece of cake! I think I can do it.

If I need 72 clicks I need about 2400 impressions. Whoops, another one of those techy words. If I show my article to 2,400 visitors, I should be able to get 72 clicks, if my made up CTR is correct. Lets see - if I get 1 view per day, that’s 365 per year. It will take me a little over 6 years to make my money. Love it!

Now lets dream, if I make $25.00 on one article, How many articles do I need for $100,000 per year? This stuff is so easy! I already know I can make $3.85 per article, per year. All I need is 26,000 articles. Lets see, 1 article per day average, 365 articles per year. WOW! No problem at all. I just need 71 years or so to make my $100,000 per year. Average life expectancy is 85, so I get to make $100,000 per year for 14 years by doing nothing.

Thank god I joined this writing project, and I’m going to get more than 1 visit per day! Thank you for your time. I’ve done my job, now give me my $25.00. Ha Ha! If I don’t win, obviously, I’m in big trouble.

This article was part of a writing project at Make money with JMMO. Check out what other people did with $25.00. I’m going to read each article, since I just proved writing one article per day won’t make it.

    I’m the Edison of the Internet…

    What would I do with $25.00? I think I’m like most of us out there, I know what not to do with $25.00 when it comes to making money online. I’ve learned soooooo many ways not to invest that $25.00. I feel like the Edison of the Internet. The article …
