100 din mein paisa double

Introduction

Last time we met, I said "Skills > Learning". And skills of all kinds count, no matter what they are. I said "Financial Independence" should be your north star, but I didn't do a good enough job explaining what I meant. So, this is me putting my money behind this and getting you to learn some money-making skills in the next 3 months.

What

You try to earn some money in the next 100 days.

You get a bonus payout (from me) of

$x^2/25000$ INR where x=money you earn within 100 days of accepting this challenge. Here's a nice table (first column is money you earn on your own, and second column is money I put in):

The closer you get to 25,000, the closer you get to "doubling your money".

Seriously?

Yes.

Rules

1. Money must be made ethically. No MLM schemes, Amway, crypto investments, or gambling. If you are unsure, it is probably unethical.
2. While I'd like to keep investments in scope(it is a valid skill), I don't think it's worth your time to spend money in the stock market (yet). So instead focus on the "how to make money with my skills" problem. Investments are out of scope - you need money to invest, and this isn't about that.
3. Can't ask anyone for money, obviously.
4. Probably more rules, I haven't thought this out properly lol - ask if you have any questions.

I trust you both to play honestly and in the spirit. All I ask from you is to tell me at the end whether this was fun and helpful (or not).

We need more time!

I thought about it, but ~3 months seems decent enough of a timespan. We'll set exact dates from when you accept this challenge.

Why 25k?

While earning 8k/month isn't much - you have your studies alongside and this seemed like a reasonable number. Goals should be ambitious :) If you'd like a slightly bigger/smaller number - maybe we can change it a bit.

I can't do it with my studies

Tthe scale is graduated, so no matter how much you earn, you're getting a bonus. It just gets larger the closer you get to the target. So put in as much or as little effort as you see fit.

Of course, I don't expect you to screw up your studies to get this, but that doesn't need saying.

Suggestions

I don't know - maybe content writing? Do some freelance work? Make a YouTube channel? Sell something on Meesho? Create a viral TikTok? Dropship something from China and sell it on Amazon? Participate in a contest? Do some bug-bounties?

You pick - as long as you learn something by the end of it, I'll be happy!

Nothing stops you from doing this together, or with friends. The contest is open to both of you, and applies to both your personal earnings.
