The $3K in 30 Days Online Challenge: What I Did (And What I’d Skip)
When I set out to make $3,000 in just 30 days online, I had no clue what I was doing.
✔ No audience.
✔ No tech skills.
✔ No money to invest.
But I was tired of being broke and knew I had to try something different.
Spoiler: I hit the goal. But I also wasted time doing things that didn’t work (for a while).
Let me break it down real quick, what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do if I had to start all over again.

It’s free, beginner-friendly, and saves you weeks of trial and error.
What Worked
1. Selling a Simple Digital Product
I created a short, helpful guide in Google Docs and turned it into a PDF.
No design skills needed. I just explained something I already knew how to do.
I uploaded it to Gumroad, priced it at $10, and started selling.
That one product brought in more than half my income that month.
2. Pinterest = Traffic Machine
I posted 1–2 pins a day linking to my product.
Even with no followers, I started getting clicks, and then sales.
Pinterest doesn’t need dancing or hashtags. Just consistency.
3. Talking Like a Real Person
I stopped trying to sound professional or “perfect.”
Instead, I talked the way I do now – simple, honest, clear.
Turns out, people connect with that way more than trying to act like an expert.

What I’d Skip Next Time
1. Watching 100 YouTube Videos First
I wasted hours trying to “learn everything” before starting.
You don’t need to know it all, just learn as you go.
2. Trying Too Many Ideas at Once
Affiliate links, dropshipping, surveys — I tried them all at once and got nowhere.
The real money came when I focused on ONE thing: selling a digital product.
3. Overthinking Every Step
I kept tweaking the product, the price, the pins…
What I should’ve done was just launch it and improve later.
Progress beats perfection, every time.
If I Had to Start Over…
Here’s exactly what I’d do again:
-
Pick a small problem I can help solve
-
Create a $10 PDF to fix it
-
Upload to Gumroad
-
Make a few Pinterest pins using Canva
-
Post consistently and stay focused for 30 days
Simple.
No big website. No ads. No following.

It’s everything I wish I had when I started.
Final Thought
I used to think making money online was only for experts or influencers.
Now I know better.
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to start.
I made $3,000 in 30 days, and I truly believe you can too.
Start simple. Stay focused. Don’t quit early.
