Interesting challenge... to make $500 with seed money of $50

Tweet

This an interesting challenge I read somewhere in the web. It got me thinking... many of us have always grumbled about not being able to start a business and many more have wondered how. The challenge was originally from the states and many have tried and shared their ideas to see if it is possible. well, the idea of this challenge is to take a $50 budget, and try to make money from it and end with a profit of $500. Some simple rules: 1) START with EXACTLY and ONLY $50 2) NO additional money may be added unless it is profits earned from the original $50 3) Any resources used at all, other than sweat equity, must come from the $50 4) Document your process, every step, detailing how you spent the money, what you did to finish with the $500 profit and share it with everyone here 5) there is no time limit to achieve the goal of $500. Main goal here is to generate $500 from $50, not necessarily residual passive income (though that would be good) This challenge is to make one think outside the box to make money and could well be the first step to bigger things. Tossing ideas is easy and tossing hypothetical scenarios is much easier said than done. The objective here is to share and document the process of an idea you know is feasible and are willing to take that first step to get it done. Sharing your experience to attaining the $500 goal will prove that it is not that difficult to make money from little or no startup capital. You can do anything you want withing the legal limits, of course, to try and make $500 from a seed of $50. Things you do could well be hosting a website to sell goods/services to getting a street stall to hawk goods... the list is endless and only limited by your imagination. It would be fun and the ideas generated and exchanged here would be a great starting point for all of us
