The Turn £100,00 into £10,000 by the end of 2010 all dribble unofficial Thread

My first post on this new thread!

I posted a few times on the old threads but will try to post more here, honest!

Why am I doing this challenge?
To clear a few debts and to replace my full time (self employed) job with something more flexible and with more money.

How am I doing it?
Ebay/Amazon - have listed and sold a few things so far, but most of my stuff will go to bootsales when it gets a lot warmer! Done BB and withdrawn around £90 and will start on matched betting soon....

What can I do?
Type fast (but this is my main job so looking to do something that doesnt involve too much typing!)

Websites - I have some blogs that earn money (around 20 or so that earn around £50 a month from ebay/amazon/adsense) I have a reseller account, know how to upload html pages, set up wordpress blogs on my hosting (not the free ones) etc.... but am not good at writing articles or blog posts so most of the sites are just selling stuff from ebay/amazon with plugins that automatically pull down the info.

Not creative at all but can do some techie stuff as above if anyone needs any help.

Would like to earn part of the money from ebay/amazon, buying stuff to resell and possible create my own website if I can find my niche, and the rest from some kind of Internet Marketing, (working on this one at the moment!)

Well thats it for now, love the new thread some great ideas flying around.

Just seen on the 'alternatives to Ebay' thread that Auction Alfie lets you search auction websites to see where best to sell your items, thought I'd post it up here in case someone hasn't seen it

My story is that I already run my own business. I've started from scratch and now have 6 staff plus me. I'd like to sell it as a going concern soonish, as I already have plans for my next business venture and I don't want to be running both of them at the same time (enough holes in my head). We have weathered the recession pretty well, but like I said yesterday I think 09-10 turnover will be about £4K down on 08-09. Obviously to get top £££ for the business it needs to be doing well, so I want to put a big effort into getting turnover maximised this year. In fact, if I get it doing really well I *might* even have a change of heart and keep it!

The jewellery/altered art is what I do in my spare time. It keeps me sane (ish) and since I make more than I can ever use myself or give as gifts I figured I might as well try and fund my hobby by selling odd bits. If it becomes more than that, then that's great.

I am limited in how much I can do jewellery-wise by the fact that the majority of my time has to be with my main business as that's my main moneymaker.

If I do keep business #1 and start business #3 (if you count the jewellery as #2) then I'd be looking at taking a partner into either 1 or 3 as I can't do it all by myself.

So the £10K is to make #1 a very saleable proposition at a good price and to fund the startup costs of #3.

730 pm itv 1 martins doing a show on how to save a grand in a day so might be good for us all

I have no idea what made me join - I have absolutely no experience in having a business and had no idea what to do other than buy and sell on Ebay. I'm a stay-at-home mum with three kids and have a mad life as it is, seems I'm never happy I am right at the very beginning of starting out and wouldn't have bothered if it weren't for this thread!
MMTWGR, please will you put my motives as being 'pay off debt and start driving' and my ideas as being 'have enough stock to start a shop on Etsy' please? Thank you, and I'm going to change my signature to something a bit more positive, when I think of it!
