You have 2 years to make £1million...

[Krhuangbin]

What do you do?

You start on 1st of Jan 2023. You have, let’s say £5k.

£5k -> -> £1m

[Alan140266]

Is this a sales pitch for a money making scheme

[Krhuangbin]

Haha nope, a challenge

[robscot]

Spend the £5k on marketing my car worth £1m - flog that, job done, easy.

Next?

[Caddyshack]

Drugs might be possible but how you get started could get started from your middle management job in surrey sounds like a recipe for losing your initial 5k or or your life or liberty.

So, legal routes. Buy a product whole sale and then sell it retail in as many formats as possible - re-sellers, online, retail then rinse and repeat.

It is very simple and easy…that’s why everyone is doing it.

I have heard hot cakes sell well.

Probably vote conservative and wait for the currency devaluation.

Oh yeah, it’s easy, most of us who started on 1st January 2022 can’t be bothered posting though.

Are you serious? £5k to £2million in 2 years, are you drunk?

[jeff m]

5K is not much of a float.....
That leaves, buy a soccer ball or a tennis racket and practice (a lot)

[bucksmanuk]

Legally? - Don’t know
Illegally? – buy some huge cheap greenhouses in a remote area and fill them with cannabis.

To be fair you just doubled the £1 million the op posted about so you have the gift.

Hire a statistician or whatevs to analyse smaller lotteries and estimate chances of winning if £5k's worth of tickets are bought.

[Doofus]

Charge people £50 to come and listen to you talk excitedly for three and a half hours about 'world abundance' and 'leveraged contingency'. Rely on the fact that by the end they are exhausted and sufficiently embarrassed that they gave you their money in the first place that they won't admit to anyone that you're a charlatan.

Repeat.

If the statistician was good enough to do that wouldn’t they have just done the lottery themselves and retired?

I have often read books written about how to change and live to become rich and my main conclusion is "no, you just wrote a best selling book about getting rich to become rich"

[Monkeylegend]

I actually did it about 5 years ago and retired off the proceeds.

If anybody wants to know how drop me a line with a cheque for £1000 and I will spill the beans.

Ah, those Magic Beans!

Good thinking, ML ...

Drug dealing.

Some around here must have millions stashed away. Might watch Layer Cake later on actually.

[Krhuangbin]

This chap did zero to £8m in 2.5 years.

Interesting listen - and a crusader against the get rich quick knobs some of the above replies have hinted at

£5k pays for a lot of advertising

You open a company called the Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!
