Have about $2.5k to spend on online marketing..

Spend on youtube video ads, and get your own YT channel grows with it, and sell what ever you have or like with that owned channel. And do a video contest related to your niche if possible with a cash prize. You'll get great traffic. Good luck!

Stop that.

Stop telling people in an open forum how much money you have. Now you'll be pelted with PMs with offers to "help".

If you don't know what to do with your investment, it means you don't know what to do at all.

Start researching.

You could even research the hundreds or perhaps even thousands of times a question like yours ("I have $X; what should I do?") has been asked.

There are many ways to make money online, just as there are offline.

Pick one that seems a fit for you, and try it out.

You won't find any shortcuts: you have to go through this yourself.

Have you ever made any money before?

Try make $10 online with as little capital involved ... if you can do that, you know what works and what doesn't. Scale it.

Completely agree with Jason, don't give out a number. The best thing you can do before deciding on where to put your money is to do some research. Find what interest you and build on that excitement, learn what methods work and how you can implement them. The more you can do by yourself the better, building a website, designing ads, squeeze pages, etc are all expensive if you outsource them, and if you have to pay for that you will have nothing left over to promote your site or offer.

Good luck.

Thanks. Are you currently doing this right now?

Thanks for the concern. I would like to hear how people with experience in their niches spend this investment. For example, an email marketer may spend 200 per week on solo ads for the next few weeks. Some others may spend on FB ads or content creation.

Yes, made some. Doesn't work that great any more.

Do you even have a business system set up and in place?

Since you're open to anything at this point, it seems to me that you ought to focus on getting a selling system set up.

Focus on a niche and find demand in order to know what you can profitably offer your audience.

If you bounce from one marketing gig to another, spending $200 here and $300 there, you don't really have a business but rather some random offers to random audiences.

It's best to focus on building a niche audience and addressing their wants.

Focus on building a targeted group of subscribers to your email list.

Nothing.

You should do absolutely nothing with it. What you should do is take Jason's response seriously (there's a reason why he's been thanked over 6,000 times!)

What I would do, if I were starting again and knowing what i now know, would be to use google search extensively. Why?

There are many different business models online. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Before you spend a dime explore all the models and fully understand what they are and how you make money from them.

For example, dropshipping is easy to get started on as you don't need a huge amount of capital up front but also the industry is heavily weighted against you in order to significantly favour the wholesaler which makes it difficult to make any decent profit margin. Get the picture?

Good luck with your venturing.

I know most here did not start out using that amount for Internet Marketing. Of course it does depend what you are wanting to pursue online.

I would just use a small portion of it and start testing using a proven model and evaluate over a period of time.

But I do think buying high quality Content to place on your Internet Properties is something to really consider

hi, guard your money like crazy. You can spend money online like water and get no results. Do some research on the most successful marketers in the world and see what they are doing than find something that works that you love.

Hey dandagger, listen to Jason's advice.

Also, I pretty much answered your question here a few weeks back:

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...l#post10577398

And I'll reiterate this - do NOT accept any "offers" you get from PMs.

$2000 allocated for PPC and $500 for SEO'd sites. Currently I equal my SEO sales to PPC. IM is really smooth sailing, you've got the funds - now you must have the attitude.

Okay. Right now I'm thinking of doing..

1) Authority Site (Article/Info/Blog)
2) Authority Site (Dropshipping)
3) Kindle

I've been monetizing purchased data(email) using PPL (pay per lead) offers for 16+ years and it can be extremely profitable. While I highly recommend the data monetization business, it's a business that takes money to make money, as you need tools, resources and data and the costs all start to add up.

For those that don't have the money necessary to start (which is probably the majority of users here), I would also recommend that they look into building their own PPL offer and get buyers for the leads. I'm sure many are scared of the idea of having to find buyers, but it's really not that hard to find them, as leads are the lifeblood for companies.

You have to keep in mind that so much traffic these days is coming from mobile devices, so it has to be mobile friendly. Optimizing the page and the form is key, as the better it converts, it will become much easier to get affiliates to send traffic to it.

There's lots of big affiliates out there capable of producing $10K-$100K+ per month in commissions and if you have an offer that converts really well, word will get around and they will seek you out and that's no BS. Your hosting is also going to be key, having fast/reliable hosting can increase conversions as much as 10%, by just that one factor alone it some cases.

One big advantage to this, is you get to monetize all the thank you page traffic and you get to keep a copy of all the leads generated, that you can monetize as well. Which you get to keep 100% of the profits from both.

You want to build this slowly, because you need to build up your cash reserves for paying affiliates. If a buyer is late paying or worse, doesn't pay...you still have to pay the affiliates and do it on-time. Never extend a buyer more than a week of credit and have tight terms on when they pay. So if you going Mon-Sun, you want them paying Tue or Wen and pay your affiliates Thur or Fri.

Now with new affiliates, you may not want to start them off paying weekly( but paying weekly is a must to keep them happy), just to make sure that they are not trying to submit a bunch of bogus leads, trying to rip you off.

Once you fully build out one offer and have it running, then build out another and another, etc... and you could potentially build a huge business that's not going anywhere, as lead generation will never go away. Now you combine this with data monetization, then you own your own traffic(which you can build into massive traffic) and your own offers and it's just stupid money.

Oh and in case anyone doesn't know what PPL is, it's just a lead generation offer. The reason why they can work so well, is there is no credit card required....the user just has to fill out a form to complete the offer. So it is completely free, so conversion rates are typically much higher than offers that require a sale.

How many people do you think are interested in getting a free quote on a mortgage, life insurance, car insurance, etc, etc... to see how much money they could possible save, over buying some niche product or service and I should really say...getting someone to buy - It's HUGE and it's why I do what I do.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Granted it's not what most will tell you. But there is a saying...You follow the herd and you get led to the slaughter house.

Simple! Follow these step!

My advice here is simply, look for an online business module you will fall in love with, and stick to that business module

for online marketing you should consult with a experts or you can hire a professional for content writing and create good trusted links through the viral marketing

What do you sell?
Is there a hungry market for it?
Where does that hungry market look for offers such as yours?
What is the most effective way to reach that market?
It varies a lot. My younger employees do so much on Facebook,
(I don't wan't to be in my employees personal lives, but it would behoove me
to be on Facebook for scheduling and such.) my 30 years or older employees
text, but Facebook not so much.

I would suggest you create an offer you want to sell and generate leads and send them winning emails....use youtube ads, facebook ads and bing ads to generate leads and take it from there

No one is smart it's god gifted, and the room is always open for the right professional not the folk who do came with a tips that's not a belong with realistic information.

Put it in the bank.

Spend it when you know what you need.

Many people seem to think IM is like a slot machine. You put money in, pull the handle and money spits out.

Newbies who invest large sums, lose large sums.

If you are not really sure what to do, you can invest to learn first.

Buy one proven system that you love to follow, for instance. Then i bet that system will reveals

exactly what to invest for.

Hope this help!

test several methods with that much money. Use a little bit and see what the ROI is like then try another method and then invest more into the one that has the highest ROI

Keep it, just educate yourself.

I would PPC + CPA + Tracking. Find winning campaign and run them till you can :-)

I would try revenue sharing

Test slow on what works and what doesn't in terms of paid advertising. I would test the waters in different niches to see which one is the most hungriest and profitable. Then i would create squeeze page to see if i can get a ton of leads. If i get alot of leads, then i roll out with a line of products, and create sales pages and content for them. That's how i would start. Investment for this is only about $30.

Depending on the product that you plan on marketing there are alot of ways you can use your money to make a return. It all depends what your selling.

I would personally do ppv with 50onred..

What experience/background do you have (if any)?

I'd advise that you consider youtube Ads and Instagram Ads as your major strategy. Facebook and twitter still work, but most people on twitter and facebook are ignorant to ads.

You seem sincere my friend with good intentions but the best suggestion I would give would be the hardest to implement. Coaching.

Because going on one path right now that will not be building a long term business will have you right back in the same scenario in no time.

But the problem is the caliber of coach you want and would do you the most good will not be here soliciting you for your business. You will have to seek him/her out based on proven results.

You are in a better position than most. I started out in the make money with no money rags to riches niche as an insider.

Get into product development . It is the best idea by far.

It's not necessary to spend all your money at once.
Try to find any niche you like, make $200 from $100 there, get some knowledge and experience. And only then try to scale.
Otherwise you can lose all your money

take the money out of the question, and see what you want to do. What do you find is your passion. what do you feel your good at. then go from there. Research, don't buy ebook after ebook, and take action when you find something good.

It all depends on what kind of business you have. What kind of business do you have?

I personally think if you are just starting...Go for Kindle...you can take it anywhere you want earning wise and quickly...just follow the right formula...

Spend on blogs.

First thing i would do is dont announce how much money you have , there will be every offer under the sun getting thrown at you .
i would start with some afiliate products , buld up your list and then invest your money in good targetted traffic for a niche you pick , try small amounts on different traffic sources, i have a traffic product coming out soon which lets you get traffic for under 10 cents a click keep your eye out for it.

if solo ads ..then it can be done fast

i second our fellow warrior ..only expert knew the best way

For every £1 spent in social media, a potential value of £3.34 can be generated, according to a study by the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) into FMCG brands including Heinz, Kettle and Twinings. So you may invest the money on social media marketing!!!

I would leave an inerasable mark on PPC till money tripled.

What is a good Solo Ads or List Building course?

go to Solo Ads Testimonials on FB

and find sellers there ...

worth it

i would do solo ads also ...depends on the offer and seller

One, never post something like this in the forum again. Second, hire the best I.M. coach you can find for the money.

With that much money you should focus your efforts on paid advertising. Depending on your niche look into solo ads AND Facebook ads AND Bing ads. If you nail down your targeting you can generate a lot of traffic from those websites.

Thinking of setting up an authority site, or doing email marketing.

create your list of subscribers into a targeted niche <== it's very important

My opinion? ...Invest your money to follow a Mentor, so he/she creates your business while you study the business

affiliate marketing is just $100 a month, add your work hard. hope for you.

Find affordable coaching from someone you respect.

Spend as much as little as you can. Be a affiliate. Join, Clickbank, Amazon, CJ, etc. Now you have your affiliate links. Do you want to use PPC ads like posting ads in Facebook, Google and Yahoo? Or do you want to make your website and place your affiliate links in it. It's your choice.

solo ads can help but u need to find a reputable sellers

and build your own list too

You can build a steady income with two grand, there's no way you can fail if you follow a blueprint.

You have $2.5 K to spend? Have I told you lately how good you look? Have you been working out? Maybe gotten a tan?

Find a coach who has already done what you want to do and just reshape it for your niche

Send your money for paid traffics if You don't want to run a website, Otherwise spend it for your website with SEO, That will worth it.

start a solo ads business or PBN business

both are good for long term

Nice discussion with lots of valuable info is going on here, keep it up.

My advice to is to focus on your interests and what would you love to work in internet marketing because it is a very big world >> promoting products, list building, solo ads, cpa, blogging and adsense all of these methods will work for you but you have to love what you will do and take a general knowledge about every one of them to decide which one you will get in.

when you take your decision don't make like a monkey and jumping between them and take care of your money don't spend it right and left, you may lose it in just one week you have to start spend money when you feel that you are really strong and standing on a rock.

Good Luck..

You can get sales funnel. Get squeeze page, OTO and strong email marketing campaign. Drive traffic with solo ads, build list and make money at the same time. Then do adswaps to grow your list, do solo ads and promote offers to your list. List - will be your money machine! CHeers :-)

i would invest in cpa evolution 2.0 its faackin insane dude!

another good option is => BROKERAGE

you can sell tons of good services on the internet

I would spend that money on quality paid traffic. But you also need a system in place to send that traffic to. If you don't have a system in place, then Id spend it on a system first. Then focus on sending traffic to it.

Here's what you should do: -

1. Figure out what you want to do, 3 major ways to make money online are: -

a. Affiliate Marketing/CPA.
b. E-com.
c. Selling own products/coaching.

2. Find a mentor: -

a. Join Ace Reddy's Mastermind for CPA.
b. Join Jens Elmera's Mastermind for E-COM.
c. Join Frank Kern's Mastermind or R.Brunson's Mastermind to learn how to create your own products/coaching programs and sell them effectively!

3. Apply Everything They Teach.

4. Don't listen to anyone who PM's you on here, the hawks out there are ready to prey lol

Thanks
Aron

I'd buy a profitable website and make it even more profitable!!

PPC + CPA

If only I had that amount of $$$ for marketing!

Best advice you will ever receive on this forum:

Don't waste that amount of money getting into IM instead invest it in a high yield mutual fund, COD or a TBill.

Step 1: Disregard the BS advice being thrown at you...which is almost all of the responses here.

Step 2: Save your money.

Step 3: ?

Step 4: Profit.

DO some researches before spending your precious money.....

I would put all my effort building an email list. This is profitable in the long run.
