Tweet 800,000 sponsored messages on MyLikes

Average cost per click: Cost per click is different for every user based on a calculated MyLikes Engagement Score. The score is determined by the user’s activity on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Over time, the score changes based on how many clicks the user generates per sponsored tweet.MyLikes tells us for a person with a few thousand followers, the average earning per click is between $0.10-$0.25. If you have 100,000+ followers, you can earn up to $1 per click.
For the sake of this scenario, we’ll put the average CPC at $0.25.
Profits you keep: 100%
Million-dollar math: $0.25 X 4,000,000 clicks = $1,000,000. If 5 people click every sponsored tweet, you’re looking at 800,000 tweets.

What it is: Sign up to do freelance workat costs often below minimum wage.
Average cost per gig: In 2009, NYU professor Panagiotis Ipeirotis tracked all MTurk HITS (Human Intelligence Tasks) for two months and found the average value of HITS posted per day was $2,000. Most people, he estimated, use the site one day per week and earn about $20.
But most of the recent HITS we found only pay a few cents per completed task. Businessweek tried out the service for seven hours one day, completing about 15 jobs, and making just $0.63 per hour. That comes out to $0.31 cents per HIT. We’ll use $0.31 cents/HIT for our calculation.
Profits you keep: 90% — Amazon takes 10% commission of every final HIT payment with a minimum fee of half a cent.
Million-dollar math: $0.31 X 3,225,807 HITS = $1,000,000.17
Who did it: We hope no one. It sounds grueling.
Rent your apartment for 10,520 nights
What it is: Rent a room in your apartment to a stranger for an amount and length of your choosing.
Average cost per rental: Hosts can charge renters whatever rate they want per night. Costs depend a lot on the host’s location though. AirBNB has a rate recommendation widget based on the host’s location.
When we typed in “Private Bedroom in NYC” it recommended we charge $98 per night. Even though NYC rates are higher than many other cities, we’ll use the $98 estimate for our calculation.
Profits you keep: 97% of the total rent cost.
Million-dollar math: For every $98/night rental, you keep $95.06. $95.06 X 10,520 nights = $1,000,031.20
Who did it: If no one has done it yet, a few AirBNB users are well on their way. Daren from London says he has made $100,000 via AirBNB. Jeff from Paris says he’s made $90,000.
Cofounder Brian Chesky also decided to go homeless everyday for a few months, so he probably made some good money using his service during that time.
