If I had $3k given to me today specifically for the purpose of investing in IM (more specifically, invest in my business), I would probably spend it on advertising, and hiring someone to create the ad/run the ad/etc.

I would find something that had a good ROI, starting off small, and providing it yielded results, scale up from there. Some ads I have run on the WSO have had a good ROI, others not what I'd like. But that is one area you can start off small and scale up providing it works for you.

outsource SEO'd articles big time!!!!....and I mean big time. Keywords will be your focus.

Just outsource to someone that can do some good work for you. then pay as much as you can to have someone spread them around to the top say 20 articles directories.

Then you have yourself a winner. Oh yeah!!! Keep the rest and use it to drive more traffic...banner ads, blog ads on top traffic sites in your niche....and watch the sales come flying in.

hope this helps.

With 3000 dollars would promote a good product effectively on Facebook. I would monitor my conversion and profits from that product and then look for other great products to promote using the same medium of finding targeted buyers.

I would research new niches to go into. Outsource the creation of mini-sites and the writing of articles. I would also outsource backlinking for the websites.

I think the answer is going to depend on your current business model, and where that money would yield the most benefit. If what you're presently doing is time and labor intensive, then outsourcing would probably be the best place to spend those funds. On the other hand, if you are currently using paid advertising which is giving you a good ROI (return on investment), then it'd be best to spend most of it on additional advertising!

$3,000 is not that much to use on PPC

you could lose that in a day or even a few hours

the question is what would you send that traffic to ?

well my advice is what ever you do, send ALL your traffic you spend your money on, to an opt in page and build your list!

so take that $3k

invest in some good solo ads that will get you a good sized list to start off with.

bare in mind i just spent $3,000 on my hosting bill for the last 3 weeks!

lol

hope that helps

I know, that is definitely some serious coin for hosting fees/charges. The only way I can see fees being that high is if he was using multiple dedicated servers for dozens of sites!

Richard, I'd like to add that I'd be trying to look for sites that were generating at least $500-$600 in monthly revenue (i.e. towards the low end of the typical 5X-10X monthly income that sites typically sell for).

I would join a good membership/coaching site to help keep me on track and focused on executing plans. (My wife currently does the "keep you focused" job.)

I would buy more promotional materials from Fiverr sellers.

Now, the bigger question should be what will you do to overcome the weak spots in your current place in IM. Do you need to have a coach to keep you focused and accountable? Do you need to invest in traffic using PPC? Do you need to develop a product to sell yourself? Do you need to have a Virtual Assistant or two to create content, do your social bookmarking, setup blogs, etc.?

The important thing is to make sure your $$$ of investment will give you a long term ROI instead of a quick flash of cash.

I would submit the articles to article directories.
I would submit the articles to sites like scribd and others.
I would upload the videos using tubemogul.

After someone buys I will take him to a page where for another bonus short-report or more information he/ she will suscribe to my list.

After that I will build 1 to 3 backlinks per day for each of the reports.
