Can I make £1,000 in 12 weeks from nothing?

Tweet

Hi everyone - time for a new challenge (running alongside my clear a debt a month challenge and my head to head challenge ). So here's the inspiration for this challenge. I once read a story about a guy who set out to make over £1,000 from nothing. He did this by starting off with £1 and finding ways to double this each week. This could be from buying and selling, gambling, shares etc. He managed it and made over £1,000 in under 3 months. I have always wanted to try this so I am going to - after all I've got nothing to lose!! So here's the plan, I'm going to start by trying to make £1.00 out of nothing (any ideas welcome ) and then double it each week. Here's the dates I need to keep to: £1 – by 2nd October £2 – by 9th October £4 – by 16th October £8 – by 23rd October £16 – by 30th October £32 – by 6th November £64 – by 13th November £128 – by 20th November £256 – by 27th November £512 – by 4th December £1,024 – by 11th December Let the challenge begin Emily x (anyone wishing to join in will be more than welcome ) As requested - here are the rules of this challenge: 1. Any cash that you make must be created from nothing - you cannot use your own money to create a profit and then use that profit to start with. 2. If you wish to sell items on Ebay then please use items that you personally didn't buy. These can be a present, prize, freebie etc - as long as the item didn't cost you a penny, it's ok. 3. If you wish to use cashback from a site like Quidco, then this must have been generated through a free method and not from internet shopping. If this money was raised through free offers and clickthroughs then this is fine. Please let me know if there is anything I have forgotten - good luck and have fun!
