    What I would do is if I was you.

    Hand the $200 over to me. I will buy you 3 domain names for a certain niche area that you like.

    Set you up a joomla website for each hosted on my server. Include blogs and membership to all sites.

    And then pay a little for advertising to start getting the traffic to them. Build up the traffic for 3 months and then sell 2 of them for a good some.

    You should use the money to take a couple days off from work and start your own website about something you know about. List out the things that your friends and associates come to you to ask your opinion about or pick your brains on. That is where to start.

      Spend $37 to join the war room.

      Find a good tutorial on how to find niches.

      Find a good niche, have some content developed, and invest the rest into getting the site advertised where your potential buyers are looking to buy stuff.

          Wait a sec... I do not recommend CPA if $200 is your entire bankroll for your IM venture. Especially if you're going to use some of that on a training program. You can lose that in a few hours, and you most likely will if you're new at this.

          Hell I would probably lose that in a few hours testing some new campaigns. Only a few campaigns out of a handful are winners with CPA usually.

          $200... I would take the advice you previously got and get hosting, set up a blog on a topic with good numbers that you know a little about. If you're dead set on product creation, you can sell an info product from the same blog I just mentioned down the road, or as soon as you can put a product together.

          But for the love of God don't choose the "make money" niche for your info product(again, I'm assuming you're new at this). At least do yourself that one favor.

    The first thing I would recommend doing is getting your own hosting - right off the bat with your own hosting you have plenty more options available to you.

    As for product creation, it really depends on what kind of product you're considering putting together. If you're knowledgeable in a certain area or niche, it's definitely not a bad idea.

    As auradev suggested, blogging is always a good way to get started - and aside from hosting there really aren't any additional costs. Though you need to have an interest or passion about what you're writing about or it's just a pain, IMO.

    CPA - you can definitely make a living off CPA, though it really depends on how you approach it. I've actually just recently surpassed the daily income of my day job with CPA running TV streaming websites.

    You have plenty of options available to you, you don't necessarily have to run in and spend money to get started , though it certainly can help.

        Go for a webhosting and buy some internet marketing tools that would help your site generate a lots of traffic.

    Personally, I think you should re-invest in CPA marketing or something that will help you rank high on search-engine results... A good software program that helps you choose keyword phrases that will get you ranked very high. That's the way to go! But shop around. Blogging and creating a product won't do you any good if you don't rank high with Google, Bing and Yahoo. You have to know what "words" to use.

    It sounds like you're still very new to IM. In my opinion, it'd not be wise to spend $200 or $300 on something you don't understand very well.

    I'd suggest that you start off by spending $37 on the War Room, and educate yourself about the various aspects of IM first. Don't be in a rush to spend your money, make sure that you really know which path you'd like to take. While money can speed up your progress, this is only true if you know what you're doing. Don't make the mistake of blindly spending your money on something that you hardly understand the inner workings of.

        Yes, that'd be a great way to start. Write a pack of articles (usually 5-10 is a good number) around a certain niche, and then post it for sale here as a WSO (Warrior Special Offer). Start off the pricing at a low point ($5 or so) and then progressively raise it as the good reviews come in.

          Hold on to your $200 until you've picked a niche
          to target - a niche where there are proven buyers.

          And then spend that $200 on getting traffic to a
          particular offer that converts or spend it "learning"
          how to get traffic.

          No matter what - you're dead in the water without
          traffic. And there are a million ways to get it.

          Right now, video marketing and Facebook are two
          of the hottest traffic methods.

          Once you know what you are going to sell, you can
          look to see which traffic method will bring you the
          biggest returns.

          For instance, article marketing will probably never die.

          You could invest that money in having high quality
          articles written to promote a product.

          Just my 2 cents - but if I had to do it all over again,
          knowing what I know now...I'd focus my attention on
          traffic and great copywriting.

      Don't rush into buying products and softwares. You have to sit down and learn... Then venture into something you care about. I would advice blogging. Once you get through the first three active months, you should have started making some money. You can continue to repeat the process and you will see your traffic and sales increase. Hope it helped.

    I would start off by buying these things:

    Hosting Account
    A few good .com domain to get some info products up as well as blogs to promote them
    A Aweber or any other auto-responding service you choose
    Sign up for a EZA account, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook account to promote (all free)
    Join the WARRIOR WAR Room
    Have someone make you a squeeze page or do it yourself with PLR and customize it up a little bit if you know how then pop in your aweber HTML
    Outsource 50 articles and 25 videos and have them submitted and pointed back to your aweber that redirects to an affiliate product of some sort.
    Put in a little man hrs yourself to write some more articles make videos social network bookmark and so
    start writing 2-3 articles of good useful content a day to submit to your blog witch also promotes your affiliate product and squeeze page

    Rinse wash and repeat.. and once you start to build a list get traffic make affiliate sales its time to have a product created JV, and launch on clickbank and repeat the whole process ten times again if you can... Its all on how much work and what you want to invest in but there's so many options you can go about.

    Start learning first. Pick a starting point then go from there. Spending/allotting money when you dont really know where to spend it will usually end up with you wasting it which will make you regret it.

    Get something going, then spend money focused on that. So if you dont make it back, you at least learned something from it and you can continue honing your craft.

    or youll end up buying cpa stuff, then wanting to do seo, then email marketing, then product creation, then affiliate marketing, and so on. It'll never end and you will never finish anything

      I would put the money in sharebuilder and buy $200 worth of a stock...

      but seriously , If your just starting out , get a hosting account with hostagtor for 4.95 and start a blog about whatever you enjoy.

      Write some posts , wait awhile maybe a couple weeks, apply for a adsense account.

      Do not get suckered into buying WSO's , If they were making 20,000 per week, they wouldn't be sharing.

      WSO's that offer articles , websites or something tangible could be worth buying,but chances are, if there selling , its not.

      You be the judge, but protect your assets.

      Search the forums, read the forums, everything you need is FREE on here or google, except web hosting, but I guess you can get that free also.

    by the way if any of you guys know any CPA coaches please let me know.
    I am the type that does not want to go into product creation because I don't want to spend my time dealing with customer service and refunds. I have different beliefs, however, and this is not the only way to go.

    $200 is not a lot, but you can do something with it for sure. You could hire a writer to write you a bunch of amazon product reviews on hot products or very targeted products. Then, you could put up a wordpress blog for each set of product reviews, post them one a day, until they are all out there.

    Of course, you will want some backlinks built to these, which you can hire someone for $15 or $20 that can get you backlinks.

    This is just my 2 cents. There are many things you could do to reinvest your $200.
