Hi Warriors, The last few times I've tried to give money away it's been a bit of a struggle, so this time I'll just say....... I've created a poll - select and option respond to it with what you would do if $50 suddenly got sent to your Paypal account from a stranger on the forum and over the weekend I'll pick someone who responded and make it happen. The idea is that people who read this thread will get some useful/interesting/funny insights into what might be a good way to spend $50 on their IM business. No catch. This is not some gimmick or trick and I'm not about to launch a WSO that relates to this - it's just me giving back to this amazing community. Andy |

I would get to provide a service [depending on your skill] Use 20 bulk to place my ad on warrior for hire and get my remaining 30 bulk. Or i would head to fiverr and work and save myself the 50 bulk. |

In case there are any newbies reading this who aren't aware of some of the things you can do with $50, here's a random list of 20 things you could consider: 1 - Get a press release written 2 - Get a WP theme/plugin created 3 - Get some articles written 4 - Pay for some new domains 5 - Pay for hosting 6 - Get some graphics done for your site/blog 7 - Buy a theme from somewhere like templatemonster.com 8 - Get some SEO/SEM work done (link building, commenting, bookmarking, article distribution etc.) 9 - Buy a new tool for for syndicating your content (PRs, articles, rss, bookmarks, audio, video etc..) 10 - get a video created 11 - get some audio transcribed from your content 12 - Pay for an advert for your product in an ezine 13 - $50 worth for PPC traffic to your squeeze page/offer 14 - Buy membership to a useful information site (there are plenty of PLR site like for example fellow warrior Martin Avis's site at KickstartPLR) or graphics/minisites etc.. 15 - Pay for people on Fiverr.com to do jobs for you (I like to get fun videos made) 16 - Get some ebooks about your favourite IM subject - WSO section has plenty of options so you should be able to get several products about an area that interests you for $50 17 - Buy a couple of products you've been advertising as an affiliate but didn't actually buy for yourself yet so you can make your review even better and more personalised. 18 - Send the money to someone you care about who needs it more than you. 19 - Donate the money to a charity you feel strongly about supporting. 20 - Give it to a random warrior/stranger to pass on the love and make someone's day. to your success Andy |

Hi Andy, October 31st isn't all that far off, so my first thought was that $50 would by me a lot of Halloween candy. Wait! I mean it would buy a lot of candy to hand out to the trick-or-treaters that show up at my door. Yeah, that's it. I wouldn't eat it all myself. Really, I probably wouldn't. Then after giving it a bit more thought, I realized that the $50 would maybe buy a minute of your time for some no-holds-barred, tell-it-like-it-is advice. So that's what I would do with it. Actually, I'm a bit torn...candy would be nice...candy...advice...candy...advice. All the best, Michael |

Honestly, I don't "actually" need the $50... of course it would be nice just to have an extra $50 laying around but I don't need it. I already have a proven business model that works and a lot of money to invest when required.

If a kind soul donates $50 to me, I will use a part of it to pay for a Warrior For Hire thread and offer my writing services there. That way, I can turn the $20 into hundreds of dollars which I will then invest into my Internet marketing ventures. As for the remaining $30, I will use it to pay for web hosting. I recently received a discount offer of $35.40 for one year of web hosting, so I'll just add $5.40 from my own pocket. ![]() |

I would use $40 to buy an ezine advert to increase traffic. With the remaining $10 I would buy a WSO detailing a guaranteed traffic pulling method. I dream about getting traffic, I (try to...) learn about getting traffic, I think about traffic whilst IN traffic waitng for the lights to change - I am obsessed with traffic! Karen |

Personally, I think I would venture into outsourcing some things on Fiverr. I've been considering it and I would perhaps commission an excellent video for a Clickbank product; Hire someone to do a fantastic landing page with an optin; Hire someone to drive traffic, backlinking, Articles, and blogs that point to the video. I've never done anything like that before and it would be great to explore the possibility. Thanks to the kindest person on the Warrior Forum ![]() Brian |

Part would go to purchasing some graphics for upcoming websites. I can do graphics, but as an artist, I'm a decent engineer. Part would go toward a picnic lunch at the beach with my wife, who has put up with me for thirty years as of this month... |

I would get a War Room entry, as everyone keeps on about how brilliant it is and I am now feeling a bit left out, hehe But.. this morning I saw a beautiful Grammostola pulchra(Brazillian black tarantula, very handsome, google it) for sale for £50 and I am pretty sure I NEED one. |

I would spend the weekend and research the WSO section and see what value I could manage buy with $50 that would enable me to take my business up another gear ... Or, if I didn't already have war room access, then i'd go for that as over time that is worth way more than the $40 ![]() |

I'd use it to pay for a few months at HostGator. I'm just getting started and still have much to learn, but that's one of the first absolutely necessary expenses I am anticipating.

Sorry Andy, but none of the above is my answer as well. I'm going to be blatantly honest with you. Today is the first day of Fall, and it's not trying to hide that fact! It's rainy and dismal and cold. Seeing as how my hubby is stubborn about turning the furnace on until October, I'm a little chilly myself. So if I suddenly found myself with an unexpected $50, I'd go buy a new warm, cuddly sweater. Stylish of course, nothing too bulky or drab. I've been thinking about it all day and am quite confidant that I'm going shopping tomorrow! ![]() Terra |
