Default $50 GC - Please give me your advice on what to do with it

I just received a $50 Visa gift card for doing a great job on my 9 to 5 job. Rather than adding something new to my wardrobe, I have decided to put it towards my business. I have come up with the following options.

Can you all give me your opinion which you would choose? I do know that $50 is not alot of money, but I think that it can at least help to give me some more traction.

1. Get Articles Created - I am marketing a product now that I am getting about a sale a day for. I am marketing using social networks and social media only and do not have an official dot com site for it. Because I am making some money from it, then I am considering getting as many articles created that I can with the gift card and then spend $10 out of my pocket to buy a .com domain to build a niche blog. Submit some articles on EZA and some on my niche site.

2. War Room / WSO - I have recently written an eBook. I am wondering if I should become a member of the war room so that I could release the WSO for it.

3. Sell eBook Online - Use the gift card to setup a website to pre-sell the eBook as an alternative to the WSO. Get some help with copywriting in the process. Mind you that this is a totally different niche and I have no data to indicate whether this will actually sell or not.

4. Setup a Website to Promote My Services - I have a certain set of skills that some people would find valuable. I would also like to setup a seperate website that will market these skills for others to purchase my services.


Thanks for your help. I am totally leaning towards option #1, but I wanted to get your feedback in the meantime.

I think #1 is the best option for you right now

If you spend $37 on joining the War Room, regardless of the WSO potential, it's almost inconceivable you could regret it: I'd say that's by far the best value of the possibilities you've mentioned, myself.

Hi Taylordstuff,

Firstly, I would tike to congratulate for trying to use your gift card in a way ttha cna improve your life an in my opion all the above options are very good.

I would suggest to make a plan in the long run to do all of them. But for now, I encourage you to chose option # 1, build you blog around the niche your are making a sale a day... continue to use social media to promote it also... send the traffic to your site, they try to make the people optin to your list (you will need and autoreponder services) build this list, brand yourself.

Also, I encourage you to continue using the forum and people have to get to know you before and after you can offer your WSO.

Good luck!

Thank you all for your comments.

Alexa - Can you please tell me in your opinion what is so special about the War Room? I am asking because I am trying to figure out what you get from there that is not a part of the main forum.

In purely simplistic, short-term, financial terms, there are a number of former WSO's available there without paying (including some excellent ones). There's also a lot of information on all aspects of internet marketing that doesn't make its way into the "main" forum.

If you do a search for mentions of the War Room in the main forum, you'll find many threads in which huge numbers of Warriors list many other advantages too. The general sentiment you see very widely expressed is "Why did I take so long to do this?" (I've probably said it myself in a couple of those threads).
