Ask HN: How can I make 1M dollars?
I want to make my family proud.
- throwawayffffas 1y agoSave until you can get a 1M dollar loan, buy a house, pay off house.

- bigyabai 1y agoFind something that someone pay you $10 for, and automate it 100,000 times.
- ben_w 1y agoStart with two million and send half of it my way. ;) More seriously, why are you aiming so low if your goal is to use money to induce pride? Caring about dollars suggests the USA*, where a mere one million can be earned the boring way by working as a software developer for, like, 7 years or something. Also more seriously, find a better way to make people proud. Money is an endless treadmill of anxiety and one-upmanship if you don't have a specific end in mind. * but could also be Canada, Australia, NZ, or a few other places
- roschdal 1y agoI live in Norway, but can do anything, anywhere, to get 1 million dollars. (Must be legal) 1 million dollars or more, in one year.
- ben_w 1y agoHave an idea worth investing in, and contact a venture capitalist. I'm sure there's at least few on this website… (But I get the impression that a million might be a little on the low side for many VCs, as you can't run any team for very long on that).
- fragmede 1y agowhats your current balance sheet, your PnL, your skillset, your morals? Who are you? Give us anything to go with.
- roschdal 1y agoMy net worth is 0,5M dollars. Skillset: engineer and can do anything. No morals. I am 43 years and live in Norway. I love to travel and have been many wonderful places on earth. I have worked as a software developer for 20 years. Must be legal, of course.
- mathiaspoint 1y agoSell a million dollars + cost to you worth of stuff. Oh wait only sales matters and everything else just exists to support that? I kind of have to rethink things now.
- fuzzfactor 1y agoProbably quicker to sell $10M worth of other peoples offerings at a 10% commission. If you're really good it might not take the entire year. If I was going to do $1M worth of technical work in one year I would definitely want a sales associate who could deliver on the same scale themself. OTOH, if I was going to try for $1M in technology sales over the next year, I wouldn't consider an engineering associate fully adequate unless they're coming up with offerings that are well worth that, or already has them under their belt.
