15k Challenge
I posted a link to this when it started, and the challenge has now been concluded.
For those of you that havn't been paying attention, the guy set himself a challenge to make $15,000 in the space of 30 days, from an initial investment of $150. He had to sell products in a niche he had no experience in (the craft market) and could not use any existing resources (email lists, for example) for promotion.
The 30 day mark has just passed, and he has made a total of $12,565.81 (after making affiliate payments etc)
Ok, so he didn't quite make his target, but this is an amazing achievement none the less.
What makes this even better is that he documented every step as he did it - from posting links to his ad campaigns, to source code to the scripts he wrote.
Head on over to 15kchallenge.com and give it a read before he takes it down to sell an ebook or something ![]()

That's a really good read, thanks for the heads up
Of course that left me with more questions than answers… but that's me.

Ask them now in one of his latest posts if you have any and he'll answer them - there were a couple of posts in the middle of the challenege just dedicated to answering people's questions

I'm going to have to go back to Dan's blog and ask him how he managed the scripts… and if he's going to be selling them (which I suspect he might just do)
