What is the safest way to invest $5000 into the internet?

Education. Most of which will be free. You'll then have all the answers you need.

Buying targeted traffic to an already-converting high ticket funnel & offer.

You can buy access to opted-in lists of people in the right demographic who are interested in seeing offers for specific services.

We do this in the stock market field where lists of opted-in investors are eager to see new products and services. We make money on the front end of our funnel: ie. the cost of emailing is exceeded by the revenue of our initial small ticket offer that precedes the big one, and is actually the education component of the funnel.

if you would spend any time here and use the search button at the top you would see that this question has been asked hundreds of times.

If you are going to use all that $5,000 for marketing, I would not throw all your money on one place.

You want to work with 10-20-30 places all at once to see where you are getting the best results.

Then when you can determine your winners from your losers, get rid of the losers and scale up with the winners.

I would suggest investing some of that money into some of the fundamental things that are needed in order to make money online such as an auto responder, squeeze page, blog. Focus on driving traffic to your funnel once these things are in place either through free or paid traffic strategies. You will can now invest more money to scale up the traffic once you have a funnel system that is converting well for you.

You can invest half of the money to do online business.Buying targeted traffic and promote targeted product easy

take the 5k and buy a coach.

Someone who knows what they are doing. It will be the best investment you have made.

In any business opportunity, there are risks. People like to say having a "job" is secure. Go down to the bank for a loan, and they want to see income statements - preferably for about 3 years straight - preferably from a job.

Open your mouth to them about a business that you have, and they will consider that to be "risky".

In my opinion, the job is risky, and the business is secure. So if you have $5000 to invest, make sure you have a very decent income coming in CURRENTLY that can easily replace this $5000 that you're about to invest.

Plus.... you should know that if you don't know how to make money without money, then most of the time... it's going to be likely that you won't be able to make money WITH money. It's all about the marketing. Learn marketing before looking for a one shot answer from alot of people who run businesses only in their dreams.

There is no safe way to do that. Everything about IM, or business, for that matter, entails significant risk.

If safe is a requirement, follow Kay's advice and put it into a nice, boring stock.

After you have some money to gamble with and a stronger sense of adventure, do a solid month of research to identify a business idea that burns inside of you.

Thanks for all of the responses guys, and I love the stock market, not boring at all if you ask me .

That being said I want to diversify my investments, I appreciate all of the answers I've gotten so far, more than I thought, more answers are always welcome .

Is there not a piece of intellectually property I can buy a piece of and earn royalties? Like maybe invest in a start up site that needs help being funded ?

open a site in a miche and build a funnel.

use part of the money to study best method to generate traffic and invest some money into iit.

It it does work increase your investment!

you post about how to make money with $5k giving no incilination of what you are good at, experiences, knowledge, interest in...what a joker"!

What you are really seeking is someone to hand you a huge profitable business..LOL. Go ahead. You have proved you have no chance already.

The irony of the rules here is that if someone has a particular opportunity in their signature that actually answers someone else's request, they're not allowed to point it out, on grounds of solicitation.

My honest opinion would be to put that money on a savings account,and study as much as you can about IM. When you have a clear direction you have a better idea of where to spend the money.

Good luck with your endeavors.

In my opinion, if you have a lot of money to invest, I would say invest in yourself and your future by getting a good coach. Someone with a lot of authority and someone who's been around the block a few times. A lot of great people offer great coaching for less than $5,000.

The best step in the right direction would be to follow a proven successful marketer... the training/mentoring service would include setting tested and proven business for you which you would sure see how everything is done over your shoulder.

I know a couple of very successful internet marketers that can take you in on such program within your stated budget... and you would never regret it.

WARNING: Don't go about reading and watching every MMO and investment info online because if you do, you are going to be trapped in a syndrome called 'information overload' that some of us experienced.

Your simply not going to find what you are looking for. Your not going to just step into something that provides such for $5K. Also passive/residual income doesn't exist long term (like just buying a dividend paying stock) there will always be work that is need to keep income coming in.

but it should be. If you trade for excitement..you are probably gambling.

oh geez....i need to go.

When venturing into any business there's no such thing as safe.

If you want safe, go to your local bank and put your money in a good CD.

Save your money and learn as much as you can.
You need to know what you're doing or you will end up losing all.

Maybe finding a mentor who can guide you.
You can learn a lot from your mentor and he can change your whole business if you found a mentor who really want to help you.

I will advise that you invest your money in an online trading. You can pay for coaching and start with a small capital as a start-up. You can also invest your money in a PPC or affiliate sites and you can start learning by following some achievers blogs or someone who can mentor you to start your business online.

There is NO safe thing that you are going to find...

Your probably thinking there is some Magic System or some Website you can buy for $4999 and it automatically spits $1000 in profits every month to your bank account, without you having to do any work.

Just wake up check your bank account and profits are coming in...

You are going to waste many years trying to find that and to let you in on a little secret.

There is NO easy no WORK system.

The online thing is not hard it's just like any other business.

Don't overthink it.

Here is what to do...

Bank your money

1. Find a topic you know about (I am tired of saying niche)
2. Create a blog about that topic
3. Promote your blog to people interested in that topic
4. Offer something of value to that audience in exchange for email
5. Put that offer on a squeeze page (list building)
6. Send people on your list back to your blog and special offers. (autoresponder)
7. Promote something in exchange for money to your list and to people visiting your blog.

There are 3 things you can promote.
1. Sell a product
2. Promote someone else's product as an affiliate
3. Provide a service

That's pretty much an overview of marketing.

The courses you buy give you details of the overview

I'm kind of surprised that no one has suggested buying a website that's already established and making money. I have purchased several sites between 3 and 19 years old for less than $5k. With a little work each of them started producing significantly more than the original owners were making.

It's safer to buy a small business that needs a fresh set of eyes and an renewed interest than it is to create a new business from scratch.

Ideas abound in the forum if you search carefully, but you could try site flipping.

The lowest risk way would probably be to purchase a website that is already making money from organic traffic.

But I wouldn't suggest buying a website off Flippa. It's full of scammers who send fake traffic to sites in order to pump up the statistics before selling them.

There are a few private forums out there where people sell websites but you have to know where to find them. The only one I've been in has a monthly fee to join.

This is not an investing firm. It's an Internet Marketing forum.

There is nothing in IM that you can just put down $5K and get money back for it. You get paid here based on your skill set, experience, marketing savvy, products ETC.

You should maybe look into an investment forum.
