Challenge: Could You Make $100 on the Internet?

I'm currently working on some apps that would actually help make the world a better place, notably in the prevention of rape/assault. Progress is limited because of a few factors, I can't get any backers because I couldn't morally justify selling it, such a sensitive topic could backfire horribly on me and get me into hot water with my company if something goes wrong (and I still need to earn a crust). But I'm getting there.

I'd like to develop apps specifically for businesses, outsourcing most of the coding to a team of trusted developers, and dedicate 20% of my resources (time and money) to building social apps that can help the world.

I own an online website... I earn >$100

When I was in high school, I used to write for a review website called Epinions

$100 with no plans for passive income would mean writing 2000 words. That'd be waking up and writing/researching until lunch.

I wrote a random website in high school. It used to make me about $100 every 6-8 months from adsense ads.

1) Find people who can't fill the auction forms properly

2) Purchase at a low price

3) Resell

4) Profit

look up Robert Himler.... Guys has 2 lambos and 2 GTR's and hes ~23... Bought his first one at 18. He owns a few sites, most notable razzi.me - its like photobucket but you get paid by the amount of views your pictures get through google adsense.

Freelance web consulting. SEO, design, etc. You can charge up the wall for that shit. I've done gigs that are $25/hr for mockups (read: no real work). Four hours later, $100 in the bank.

ive done that and more as an hourly in online poker but that's kinda dead for americans...

I'd register a bunch of domains, get some articles written ($1/100 words) and throw them up.

Then I'd make 20 web 2.0 properties each (e.g. wordpress, tumblr, squidoo, etc) and post up hand spun variations of the articles I had written and link them to my money sites.

Then I'd hire a bunch of indian VAs to social bookmark each of those web 2.0 properties and submit them to some directories.

Craigslist Classifieds.

Just kidding. I wrote a handful of published articles for a major financial website as an undergrad and made a couple hundred bucks every couple months based on their $10/1,000 page views business model. It wasn't much, and I could have chosen to make a lot more $$ if I dumbed down my content/quality and tried to simply pump out articles just to get clicks. I stopped writing for them this summer after they rejected my last 3 submissions- Two on Groupthink within Central Banks (primarily the Fed) and the last one was about the importance of investors making a point to sift through the "noise" which they (the editors) obviously did not like because their website was a major contributor to said noise.

If I had no ethics, I'd partner with a programer or computer developer, set up an internet marketing company, and become a spam-king. Rumour is the fines per handful of charges are less than a hours income, so consider them an operating expense.

I have ethics though, so I guess I'm back at square one.
