      For me I would buy a new jacket or new gloves and scarf for winter. Maybe even some hard ground soccer boots...

      How should you spend it? I have no idea. Every individual is different, what do you need? What is your business?

      It is almost impossible to give advice without knowing anything about you and what you want to achieve.

      I am confused what would i do with that because amount is really low that i can't think of something exciting but best investment could be buy some adword campaign to bring some targeted traffic to your site.

      A Twinkie? That might blow through the $150 budget alone.

    From my experince it isn't enough to set up a full campaign to get you started if you were a newbie.

    I'd buy a few christmas presents for my newphews and buy some pizza's

    It's plenty to start doing all of that. I set up my business for less than $100.

    All you need to buy, to get started, is a domain-name or two, some hosting and an autoresponder subscription.

    The rest comes from education, effort and experience.

    Well I would suggest, if you really want to do something for your business or your business website. You should invest your money in buying domains to do online business. I will help you to increase your money from $150 to $1000 or more.

    Isn't it???

      you don't need money to set up business online. if you want to spend it save 69.00 for a wso. (Build a list) with the WSO. if you need help to get start your wso find a WSO JV GROUP and ask for help.

      Put the rest of away. Do it again keep building your list keep finding people to work with on WSO's. Start building your online presence invest in a domain and hosting.

      Nurture your list.

      keep moving forward.

      Alternately begin by going the offline route its a way to make more more quickly.

      senkcity, I just read your post, great list, many people don't realise what an opportunity IM is. No way could you start an off-line business for so little and even the monthly overheads are nothing compared to most off-line businesses. I have been self employed for 20+ years and had businesses employing 40+ staff which have not offered the same ROI as IM without the headaches and stress. Sure there's a learning curve, but it's nothing compared to off-line.
      I for one am prepared to put in the hours for IM as the long term rewards are potentially far more rewarding and worth the effort.

    No 1. Join the WarRoom. That will give you plenty of ideas, motivation and eventually (after a short period of time normally) opportunities to spend the rest of it.

    $150?
    Are you kidding? Join the war room! I would if I have that money.
    I have or rather had $80 to start off for my IM campaign.
    It's a strict budget so I can't join the war room yet until I get it back after spending it.
    But you, if you have $150 then you can start off with joining the war room.
    I'm really looking forward to that day when I finally become a member to that officially.
    But I haven't made any money yet through IM so I guess it's just right for me not to yet ha ha!
    Hopefully soon.

    $150 is alot of money to get started in this business. You should by a domain, hosting, autoresponder,setup a squeeze page with a free offer, and start driving traffic to the squeeze page by purchasing traffic from various sources such as solo ads , ppc, etc to build your list. Once you have people subscribed start building a relationship with them,then monetize them buy sending affiliate offers to them, or start selling your very own info products.

    First:
    Buy hosting - $130
    Buy a domain $20


    Then:
    Install Wordpress - $0
    Write articles - $0
    Send out Press Releases - $0
    Blog Comment - $0
    Backlink - $0

    If you put in a little elbow grease, $150 is enough to plant your seedling site. All those seedlings will grow into big ol' money trees one day. So work hard and take one solid action at a time.


    Next Steps:
    Save up for an aweber account
    Save up to buy Camtasia and turn those articles into PPT videos
    Publish Youtube Content
    Collect Emails on your Wordpress Squeeze Page
    Email market to Your List

      IM in a nutshell. Nice summary!

      I did want to mention that aweber and camtasia have free 30-day trials, so you wouldn't have to come up with money for those two expenses for a month. Hopefully you could make the money to pay for them from your efforts during that period.

      Or you could hire yourself our as a writer or designer, whatever your skills, to bring in that amount over the course of the month.

        Ive read some great posts to answer your question. In short, its really a personal question. In general, you need to buy the necessities..a website, hosting, etc. Save a little for some adsense or just do some free backlinking, article marketing, etc.

      I use screenr.com if the videos will be less than 5 minutes. It is free and no software to install. Just the way I like it.

      screenr.com is better than jing.com because you can download the .mov file or even have it upload to your YouTube account. Love it.

    The above -- register a domain, get hosting, and an autoresponder -- are the best advice, bar none. If you're *brand spanking new* and in that "don't even know which end's up" phase, then I recommend you check out Tellman Knudson's "Send Email, Make Money" course. Forty-seven bucks out the door. I can't recall with complete certainty if there were any upsells, but I don't believe there were. In this particular course, Knoodle [sic] delivers insane value. Once you've got that course all you need is a kick in the pants to get you started.

    Hope this helps.

    As suggested in other posts in this thread.

    If your intent is to eventually get into online marketing I would go with hosting and an autoresponder. for $150 you could pay for a year of hosting and one or a few domain names. I wouldn't worry about the autoresponder until you are ready to go live with a campaign.

    As you've probably noticed, most websites used for entry level type online marketing are Wordpress. If you paid for a hosting plan (ex:hostgator), buy a domain name, then install wordpress on the site.

    If you're on a tight budget, and will be doing most of the work yourself you can self-train in wordpress while you are learning marketing methods and finding a market you plan on targeting.

    Starting an online business is not about the money. In fact there's no much difference between having 0 or $150, although I do realize that to make money you'd need to have some money. But what I think really matters is having a plan, a drive, self-confidence, being ready to accept failures and know it's going to work eventually. I am trying to test how it is to go from zero to hero myself and I am prepared to accept the fact that the way I have chosen to do it may be not too smart, although people seem to like my job so far

    Ok, my piece of advice, and nevermind if you have 0 or $150 in you pocket. You don't have to pay for the sign up to the war room to find great people and some golden nuggets on the WF. You want an example? Search for the guy named KENSTER. Now I don't mean his great WSOs but just his threads on this forum:

        Hey, thanks! If you are here, I just want to say that my next investment will be joining your Six Figure Alliance (if it's open). But first I need to prove a few things to myself, including being able to earn for this investment. Clicking a 'buy now' button is easy, and what easy comes, easy goes and I am not free from this sin too. This why people fail online. My intention is to make money online to spend money online and by the way educate and get experience from it as well.

    3) Test the niche with PPC with squeeze page

    4) If successful numbers get produced... roll out with an all out advertising strategy.

    With $150 , i would buy a email list and make profit with from list of people .
    Atleast the email list that you purchase can use repeated and not only one time , so you can slowly convert them to your client by sending email & newsletter to them .
    Buy a niche list and optimize the email list and make some profit.

  • $150? I'd take my girlfriend to the movies, then a good dinner for two, and finally a refreshing mojito to wrap the evening... yup, $150 nicely spent indeed.

    I would go to the bank, turn them all into 1 cent coins, and within an instant I would have 15,000 cents. Magic stuff...

    Learn about Free Traffic Generation first, and save your money for your website/hosting/autoresponder etc. Traffic first! Do a Google search and type in:
    Free Traffic Generation. That would be a good place to start.

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    I would post tons of products from dealextreme.com on fiverr, really bizaar and funny things, then when people buy, i would make the purchase from dealex.. and send it to the buyer off fiverr. Use your $150 to manage the cashflow and payments until you can withdraw from fiverr. Ramp it up, and don't give up. You will get more than $30 a day or more.

    That was the easiest money i ever made! But small money. But hey, works.
