I recently read an ebook called "5 Bucks A Day", which has a really cool concept:
Ceate 1 income stream earning $5 bucks a day, and earn $1,825 a year. Create 100 $5 bucks a day income streams and earn $182,500 a year...
The reason I'm writing this post in the "ideas" section of the forum is because I think it is possible to use the 5 Bucks A Day concept to generate some money making ideas. So, if you have an idea on how to make $5 bucks a day, on or off line, post it here! With enough $5 a day ideas, someone in reading this post might eventually be able to quit their day job!

Yeah I've heard of the $5 concept. And I've also heard of it in different increments also. I think it's a hip concept and has alot of potential if you can hit the right market and product.
I'm actually working on a project using some similar methods so I'm curious to see how it turns out.

The problem is that there are only 24 hours in a day, finding time for each income stream will be difficult

Like Chaz T said, that depends on your perspective, and it really depends on how much maintenence is required on the income stream after you set it up.
For example, if it takes you 5 hours PER DAY to run an income stream that earns $5 a day, that isn't profitable.
However, if it takes you 5 hours of INITIAL set up time to set up an income stream that earns $5 per day, BUT requires little maintenance after the INITIAL set up, then you are going to earn $1,825 for that initial 5 hours of work, and occasional maintenance.
THAT, my friend, is what the 5 Bucks A Day guy is talking about.

This is why income streams need to be as automated as possible. This is why bum marketers make so much money because they write an article, stick in an affiliate link, and just forget about it and move on to the next one, earning passive residual income.
Personally, I will not touch an income stream unless I know I can eventually let it run all by itself, leaving me free to move on to the next idea, otherwise you'll just get bogged down trying to manage everything....
Just my $0.02

Yeah, when your perspective changes, so is your focus and everything else.

great idea in concept. and in practicality.
5$ a day I i'm slated to do that in my downline alone here in the next few days assuming signups keep up. Beyond that I use hits4pay. Don't laugh, but it does work. IT DID TAKE SOME EFFORT upfront, like about a weeks worth of HARD campaigning, but now i range from 2-6 bucks a day with this in addition to it being a great source of where many of my leads have come from. Same with hmail. I have a link in my sig for the hits 4 pay and i'm just about done with the instruction page for setting up a downline and getting it to work for you. These should be up by this week sometime. Both concepts are very easy and once you set them up you can let them run. hits4pay i check my online inbox like once every 3-4 days and just do all my emails at once. Today i had 36 sites to look at, but with the the advent of "right click, open in new window" i cleared those out in like 4 minutes.
There's one way to do it. my homepage works similart to this idea and uses GDI as an anchor of sorts.

I almost bought that program plus the extra goodies from the creator of Bum Marketing - Travis Sago. Had too many other stuff going on.
Doesn't the program it's self provide plenty of $5 dollar a day ideas? If not, I'm glad I didn't get it.

I love Bum Marketing but the problem is unless you are using tiny niches your articles WILL fall of the first page. That's why I went for a more long term approach.

Finding myself recently laid off and things not looking so good, I have turned to the internet. Many opportunities and most I have found out are a bunch of bs. As it goes it seems that being an affiliate is probably the best way to get ahead. My question is "how the hell am I supposed to make money on other peoples stuff"? I have read some ebooks on the marketing thing and for the life of me I cant figure out how the heck Im supposed to get people to these websites or how to get them to buy someone elses product?
What is adsense and how do i profit from it?
I read alot about sending emails to my "list". What list?
What is it that I am trying to promote? An ebook on marketing? Someones overnight money making tip?
I need a hug!

Consider yourself hugged!
I know what you are feeling. I felt a bit like that when I first started looking online to try to make some extra money. It was all so confusing and overwhelming. I had zero experience and felt like almost everything I came across was a big scam.
Fortunately, I persevered and weeded through the rubble to find some honest material that would help me understand and implement the whole affiliate marketing thing.
I'll send you a private message with the first affiliate marketing course (free) that really made sense to me and set me off in the right direction. (Check your private messages using the link at the top of the page after you've logged in).
Anyway, I'd steer clear of trying to promote ebooks on marketing, etc., especially if you have no understanding of the product. It's hard to 'presell' unless you are sold yourself and really think the product is great.
There are different ways to 'do' affiliate marketing. You can write articles or reviews or classified ads about some product and then leave an affiliate link to the products sales page.
If you want to use Adsense to make money, you really need some type of site of your own. You can write a blog or build a web site on a particular topic. Then when you sign up for Adsense, Google gives you a code that you place on your site - you can see them on this site - that's Adsense. You then get some of the advertising income when visitors click on the ads.
List? You build a list by offering something to your site visitors. In my case I offer a newsletter on my chocolate site. On my parasites site I offer a newsletter and a free book download on "Cleansing Your Body and Colon." When people sign up for your newsletter, etc., their email is added to your "list." You can then offer future products or services to them via email as time goes on.
It was all a blur to me getting started, and quite frankly, way over my head. I read the affiliate course I mentioned and eventually joined SBI which is a step by step site building program that walks you through the whole process of building a content based niche (topic) web site. It's so well presented with all the tools integrated in place that even I could do it. 
I've built three sites so far, using that program. It does the job if I do the work. No matter what avenue of online marketing you pursue, you are the one that has to put in the work if you want to see profit down the track.
Well, I hope that simplifies things a little better for you. There is no way any of this could be explained in detail in one forum post, but I hope you get a little clarity.
Blessings,
Angie

I think trying to maintain 100 5$ streams would be wayyyyyy too much effort.

It makes sence, spending 5 hours a day for a site that will take little or no maintance could earn you $5 a day for years to come then it is deffenlty well worth the 5 hours per day.
Thanks for sharing that with us getagrip.
Regards,
Wayne

BUM marketing.. is that like marketing for dummies ? LoL! Because thats the book I need.
The $5 a day concept sounds great. I believe that you get out what you put in, and this goes for all things in life, not just business. With enough dedication and persistance you can make it work (whatever it is) and be able to sit back, relax, and watch the money roll in.
But then again, what do I know.. I'm gunna go find a copy of Marketing for Dummies now..

The $5 a day concept, BUM marketing, and recently i have seen "Niche Marketing on Crack" ........ Not what you first think.
With all these different systems, concepts, products and websites it can get confusing at first. My personal advice to any one starting out is don't spend any money. Research is number one, sign up for all the newsletters watch all the videos all of this is free. There is hundreds of hours of video out there which has solid content and will help you with out having to spend a dime.
Free ebooks videos read them all and take notes along the way. but you don't have to buy into this product or that product yet. Just soak up as much variety of free info as you can before diving into anything.

TTrimarche: I think trying to maintain 100 5$ streams would be wayyyyyy too much effort.
Then cut that down to 50 $5/day ($250/day) streams of income )
If you think that is still too much work, cut that in half ($125/day)
Still too much work? Maintain 12 $5/day streams for $62.50/day
Still too much? Cut in half to 6 $5/day streams for $31.25/day
However, the point is...
getagrip: However, if it takes you 5 hours of INITIAL set up time to set up an income stream that earns $5 per day, BUT requires little maintenance after the INITIAL set up, then you are going to earn $1,825 for that initial 5 hours of work, and occasional maintenance.
I would be happy to work a few hours a week in my pajamas to
maintain my income of $15,000/month. Wouldn't you?
Once you become good at what you do, you also tend to become
more efficient so you spend less time doing it. Also you can start
leveraging by having other people working for you. Tools are also
available to automate your business process.
I cringe when I hear comments like "Do I have to have a website?",
"Do I have to learn HTML?", "Do I have to recruit people?", etc.
What do you think?
I see a great deal of people wanting the big money but not wanting
to do the work. Instead, they want to make their dreams come
true by doing "paid surveys".
Dream on people....

Great Points made.
1. attitude is everything. Period.
2. Marketing is just like a job. It will require work. If you don't want to work, then maybe marketing isn't for you. Yes you need a website. Yes you might need to train or recruit.
3.Whatever you don't want to do, you will have to pay someone else to do. Keep that in mind.
4. Balance is essential for success in marketing. You need to eat, sleep, and have family time.
BTW, I look forward to the day when I can market/promote full time. It's been my dream for a long time and I will never let anybody take that from me.

Well,
Unless there are some great ideas on $5 Bucks a Day..
This is another way of looking at this:
It is the same amount of work to earn say $30 as it is $5.
Wouldn't we think so?

The $5 a day ebook was excellent and very inexpensive. The point of the book isn't to ONLY create $5 a day income streams but that anyone can create at least that. Then you can create more and more to build your income while diversifying your income streams. Many ideas that you think will create $5 a day wind up creating $50 or better...is that more worth it for you guys?
As to the ones who don't want to do any work...you need to face facts, there is no program that will make you tons of money without putting the work into it.

Wouldn't it beasier to focus on one thing that you can make $ 500 a day rather than 100 things that you can do to make $ 5 each ?

Well...sure, IF you can figure out how to make $500 a day. It helps to start out small and work your way up bigger and better things.

I too agree with TTrimarche. Maintaining 100 Stream will be very very difficult.

I don't think that maintaining a $100 a day income stream is difficult - getting there is the most challenging part. Having said that, I've had several $100 days working online - making it consistent is the challenging part!

these examples are great, thanks for all the stuff, very interesting read.
Although, I must say, I get more than that a day for content writing. I'm currently working at around $10 a day and that only takes a couple of hours...

Great to hear! $10 a day is equal to $300 a month - maybe your next goal can be a $20 day!
