    You asked a question about fx trading before this.
    http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...marketing.html

    If you want to learn how to use FB Ads, I highly recommend that you find a marketer in your country to coach you. The same goes for fx trading. Find a reliable trader to coach you offline, rather someone outside your country.

    If you invest your $500 blindly, without education, whether with trading or paid ads, you will lose all of your money really fast. People won't share whatever their tactics for free here, especially to an anonymous person. The secret to use paid ads correctly takes years of time and experience, so people won't give that "time and experience" for free, because nobody can buy time obviously. If you're looking for a reliable FB Ads course, why not ask in review and rating section.

    If you asked question like this in WF, people will keep selling you something, especially via your PM inbox. Remember, when comes to money (and woman) even friends would betray friends. Let alone someone in public forum like this.

    I gave an answer to this same question recently, with the only difference being that the figure was $40K instead of $500.

    Here it is:
    http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...l#post10577398

    Just replace "$40K" with $500 and you'll get a good answer.

    Great start. You have a budget to work with. I would divide that up a little say into things like set up cost and advertising. You don't have to spend the whole thing at once.

    Get things like hosting, a domain, autoresponder because you want to be leveraging your marketing efforts.

    Traffic is the easy part and you always want to start small to make sure you are converting before you throw a bunch of money out the window. Start small and optimize to improve your numbers.

    Traffic sources I mean there are dozens but for easy sake we'll say solo ads. These are contact vendors and website owners that are in your marketplace and see if they are willing to send an email to their list.

      I suggest you stash it away for a future IM use.

      Let's face it, if you have to ask on a public forum how to best use your business start-up money, you're probably not at a point in your marketing career where it makes sense to draw down your working capital. You're certainly not ready to start paid advertising, or ramping up your business.

      First, get your business system set up so you have something to market.

      If you need to spend a little on a domain name, hosting, and an autoresponder ... that's a good use for a very small amount of money - less than $30. Save the rest - you will know what to spend it on once you have all your ducks in a row.

      Be very careful - there are lots of folks here that will tell you to buy their "can't do without it" product. Don't fall for the hype.

      This thread reminds me of an old Bill Cosby routine. He had just learned Karate and couldn't wait to try his new fighting skills out on someone.

      How to find the perfect opponent? He decided to walk down dark alleys at night with hundred dollar bills hanging out of his pockets!

      Don't do that here.

      Good luck,

      Steve

    hire a coach. do your research. you will have to put in work developing core fundamentals like market research and copywriting.

    avoid coaches with "formulas" or "secret blueprints."

    Hey, Chmouri. I notice some good advice in many of the replies above. This one from Steve stands out to me:

    I had intended to highlight Steve's salient points; then I reread, and realized they're all salient. And, like I say, plenty of other good advice above.

    Just to add to and further the discussion:

    1. Don't buy educational products.
    2. Don't buy coaching.
    3. Learn something simple and inexpensive.
    4. Dabble in Facebook Ads, experimenting on your own with a small budget.

    It's great that you have $500 worth of startup capital. This puts you ahead of the new entrant curve, who believe you can make money without spending money. On the other hand, you can easily burn through $500, and if you're not careful, end up without anything to show for it.

    I receive my fair share of emails from newcomers like yourself, either looking for coaching or just hoping for a little point in the right direction, and I'd be blind not to notice a recurring situation among them. That situation being as follows: in the past they've purchased educational products or coaching services and the products or services were either of poor quality or were simply not right for them. Upshot: money down the drain.

    If you're very new to the industry, and I say this to yourself, Chmouri, and anyone else, the best advice I can offer is to start with something simple and inexpensive and avoid purchasing services like coaching or products like the supposedly latest-and-greatest method. A place like Warrior Forum is a treasure trove of information, and of course it isn't the only place to look.

    If I was starting out today, this is what I'd probably do:

    1. Read all the free information I could find on the various IM business models and marketing strategies.

    2. Decide which ones I felt I could pull off, in terms of my abilities and startup capital.

    3. Dive in, or "take action" as you'll often hear us say.

    And which direction you take, Chmouri, will depend on your existing skills, knowledge, and of course that $500 startup fund.

    It might be that you're a wiz with Photoshop and so perhaps you give TeeSpring and Facebook Ads a whirl. Could be that you've been collecting 1980s arcade machines for 30 years and so you begin to put together an authority website about them. Maybe you love reading crime novels and decide to start simple and just create a page about them on Facebook and promote new novels on your website. Or maybe, in your offline life, you're a dietitian and you decide to run a newsletter on the topic.

    Thousands of business models exist. Thousands of marketing systems. The trick when you're starting out, I believe, is to decide on the right combination for yourself and endeavour to keep your costs low on the off-chance that you get it wrong the first time; which is almost always the case.

    Now, before I nip off and grab some breakfast, and I'm hoping my daughter hasn't relieved us of all the marmalade: Facebook Ads. You have more than enough to get started with FB Ads. Just be careful, though. Do your homework first by researching the topic and also some of the popular systems and then start with a low daily budget. Don't shoot for the stars. In other words: your aim should be to break-even, and then your aim should be a little profit. The trick, and this applies to myself as well, is really very simple on a new campaign: You're trying to make a profit, and when you're doing that, you're trying to optimize that profit before you scale up, and you always keep your budget just high enough to efficiently test.

    So. Hold onto your money. Ignore any emails or private messages from folks trying to part you of it. Become a student of the freely available information in IM. Take action on a small budget.

    Now you'll have to excuse me - toast and marmalade calls. "Tom, come eat us!"

    - Tom

    You can invest $500 into:

    - Finding a niche

    - Getting a domain and website

    - Building a website

    - Some outsourcing

    - Some email marketing

    - Squeeze page

    - Invest $100 into paid advertising to see if your site is a hit

    - Get more money and do more advertising

    - Save $30 for a good dinner after all of this is complete

    Good luck getting started online.
