What Would You Do With Only $300

I was just curios as to what you guys would do if you were to wake up one day and all the money you received from Internet or affiliate marketing was gone and all you have left is $300.

I know there are a lot of successful internet marketers out here so I was just wondering what would you do in order to start raking in the cash once again. Would you start promoting affiliate products, start your list building again, or what?

I want your responses guys. This should be interesting!

    Firstly, I'd buy a solo ad mailing to about 20k, and ensure the CTR was around 1000 - 1500 minimum. Use my charm to get them to do a two part email. A pre-launch and a launch. The product would be a 100% commission JV product from the WF joint venture category.

    Secondly I'd start an ebook, detailing my steps.

    Thirdly, I'd take the revenue earned from the solo mailing, and invest in a site that was making a small amount of residual money from Flippa.com. I'd do some bum SEO on the site, get it ranked better and send more traffic. I'd add loads of unique content, too.

    Using my new list from the solo ad, I would do ad swaps for two months, first month list building, launching the '$300' ebook in the 2nd month. Before the end of the 2nd month I'd sell the site I bought, on Flippa, which would now have better rankings, and of course sell for more. I'd give my SEO tips away with the site. All this detailed in the ebook, so there's some proof.

    On launch day, I'd start a WSO. And the rest would be gravy

    Side Note:
    That really was off the top of my head, with a head full of painkillers & antibiotics, typing mostly one-fingered, suffering with a massive toothache (infected tooth ) If it makes sense to someone, I'll be chuffed!

    I would use that money to get into CPA and banner ads. I have heard you can throw $5 at a campaign at one time to see if your ad is successful. I like this option. If I was doubling my money I would continue throwing money at it to make a profit.

        Isn't this a rather dangerous method? Or do you know of some safe way to do this via a company or such?

    First I would search Flickr for the photo album of a handsome, wealthy man. Then I would save the photos of him next to his nice car, his beautiful home and him on a beach.

    From there I would buy an $8 domain with a keyword reference to making easy money and also a really cheap hosting account. Then I would build a cheap looking site with text like "Create an online automated money machine today with absolutely no skills necessary!!!!!!" And of course the use of colored, bolded and highlighted text with those stolen pics put around the site.

    Then I would come up with some creative money making scheme that at least sounds really good. I wouldn't bother testing it either. Just put it into a .pdf file and send it to anyone that got hooked into the site's sales text.

    Then put it in my forum sigs and act like a huge pimp. Someone that appears to know his stuff. Someone that you should buy a system from.

    BAM!

    Easy money.

    At least this is what I would do, because apparently it seems to be working for all of the other system sellers.

    lol

    I would invest in a good marketing system that cost around $60 per month and start from there. I would never start a business of any kind on the internet without a marketing system first. Too many people online get the cart before the horse. If I did not have $60 I would do most of my marketing free and build my first $60 from my past marketing concepts and then go from there. I believe in getting rich slowly and doing it right rather than getting rich fast. There are too many get rich quick schemes out there online now. I would use reason and common sense over rationalizing to make money online. It just fits my personality better. I guess different strokes for different folks.

    I started this month with $80 and borrowed $200 from my soon-to-be-ex wife.

    So I'd do... well, exactly what I'm doing. Building products and trying to sell them.

    1) Get a hosting account (cheap shared hosting).
    2) Get cheap .net domains (about 20 of them).
    3) Launch mini sites and leverage Adsense ...

    This would create a small monthly cash flow
    that I could use to leverage and move forward. In
    my experience nothing beats residual cash flow ...

    I would find a good CPA offer and incentivize it with that $300 and continue this process until I had a good starting capital. Then once I have around $1000 I'd whip up a small one page splash sales page about an ebook of how to make money online - or how to pick up women. Then I would market it on facebook targeted with the $1000 in ad money. I would also place some iframed ads on my splash page (and you all know what you can do with iframed ads )
