Not gonna lie - it's borderline ridiculous, but I feel like it might just work. Type: Informational / EducationalTarget Audience: leans 40+ years old / femaleMonetization: Display ads / possibly affiliatePlatform: Wordpress Vague, I know.

Hello! I'm Scott, and you probably signed up to follow this insane challenge I posted on Twitter. Thank you. Every Friday, I'll be sending you an email outlining everything I did through the week along with detailed progress. Whether you're just curious if I can actually turn $20k into $500k in 1 year, or you want to build along with me, everything will be shared.
