Today I'm beginning my entrepreneurial career with an experiment to prove that in the business world, the power of symbiotic collaboration trumps all other powers such as knowledge or hard work. To do this, I'll invest $50 my own way, and another $50 in ideas from strangers like you - with rewards. entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

Hey, I'm Stark. Not the one from Marvel or Game of Thrones, as far as I know, but my company will someday be called Stark Industries. I believe business philosophy in modern society is in desperate need of revitalization. Everyone should know how to become their own boss, and without some 67-step program. Everyone should be able to pursue their ideas. Everyone should know how little money it can really take to get started.

Everyone should know how easy it really is to succeed, how naturally the hard work involved in chasing your passion comes to you, rather than having it pounded into their head that successful entrepreneurship is hard.

Everyone knows it's hard. What people need to know is that they can do it.

So I'm running this experiment to prove it. I'm investing $50 by myself as a control, and investing another $50 in the ideas of random people, offering to pay them back for it. I expect that each set of $50 I invest will be successful and make positive returns, but the crowdsource-invested $50 will be much more successful than the control, even after paying generously for the ideas I borrow. The collaborative investing will be so much better and easier that it should really make people think about how open they are to collaboration and letting others influence their business.

Note that while I'm dedicated to the experiment in the long run (and will probably run other similar ones down the road), I only have a few months to get this started before I'm heading on a months-long trip. My short-term goal is to turn this money into enough passive income to keep me fed, cell-connected, and ready for emergencies during this cross-country bike ride, while still maintaining momentum for long-term growth.

So your parameters are:

How would you take $50 or less, and turn it into as much money as possible within a couple months or so? Could you establish a passive source of revenue while doing so? What if you had a longer time?

Feel free to get creative. Your response doesn't have to fit my exact situation. I'm going to be continuing to grow this business for the foreseeable future and this experiment may never technically end, let alone after only a few months.

I will pay generously for ideas I use. If you don't trust me on that, feel free to set specific terms on usage of your ideas. If we can't reach an agreement on reward terms, I won't use any of your ideas. This is just out of respect and dedication to the underlying goals of this experiment. It would all be pretty pointless if I ripped people off while trying to prove that trusting collaboration is the key to maximizing success.

Special thanks to my uncle Sergio who gave me this startup capital!
