I have $3k ( Risk Capital ) to invest...Advice

14 replies
Alright... first time post...long time lurker...

I have been doing SEO with some success...in the last couple of months...with various blogs.. I started...and I have some money saved up...

I have $3k...to invest...into new projects..and I wanted to get some advice from the community.

I'm sure this has been asked countless times...sorry if this is annoying.

But I was thinking of signing up to a service such as PPC coach...for $50/month...and delve into the fabulous cuthroat world of CPA..lol

I do know the risks...and its not an easy game to crack into...but
Im not a really newb and im pretty frugal and have good Im fundamentals...

Or I was thinking of getting into Post card marketing as well...I think there are some niches...that I can exploit...


I guess out of this post I wanted to get your feedback from my two ideas...of going into either Post Card marketing or CPA....and what other aveneus of Internet marketing or even offline marketing...I could get into...

Now I'm not asking for step by step hand holding...just give me some ideas...of where I can start looking...and I will do all the footwork myself
Thx...I love this forum and I will be going paid soon....

        We all need some type of Mentor, someone to bounce ideas off and to hold you accountable. I am a serial Entrepreneur and having several Mentors has made the difference in my life.

        I am not a big fan of CPA or Affiliate Marketing, don't have much to suggest on those.
        Good luck !!!

    If you are already making money from creating blogs then why risk your money in untested waters.

    Take your cash and start outsourcing more blogs.

    I have a simple rule that has done me well. Spend 90 percent of my time on what I know already works and 10 percent on new experiments.

    In this case 90 percent of your money on what is proven (blogs) and 10 percent on new methods.

    Just keep repeating what works until you find something working better, then it becomes your new 90 percent.

      Hello,

      i highly support this idea of his. in the words of Donald Trump " Do not work on anything that is not working" therefore put more effort on that that has been yielding.

      Isn't that part of being an entrepreneur is to take risks? If you always stick to what you know it can get mundane and boring and you can wear your self out quick. Now all he would have to do is set up a lot of out sourcing and just monitor that while he has all his other time into new projects.

    you could try ppc or even buy a website with proven money making. Even a membership site which is recurring and amp up the advertising with ppc.

    I agree with the posters above. Stick to what you know.

    $3,000 is not enough to seriously experiment with anything.

    Reading just through this forum will give you plenty of ideas of what works and what does not.

    I'd keep the $3000, there are plenty of free SEO methods and a lot of ways to make money online without spending a cent. But if you really want to spend the $3000, buy an estabilished website on Flippa with half of the money and promote it with the other half.

    This is just my point of view of course.
