If you had $5,000 cash, where would you invest?

outsourcers and a few WSOs to try out new methods.

Maybe have a bunch of niche content sites and blogs made then hire an seo team to skyrocket visibility and collect ongoing passive income from adsense?

I'd actually hire a couple people from Philippines and launch a service. Promote it on a couple of forums and get an income stream going. It won't take more than around $1,000 to set it all up.

Afterwards, with the profits I make, I'll try to re-invest and scale up the business as much as possible to at least the $5,000-$6,000 per month level. It isn't *that* hard to do but of course, it's not exactly passive income either which many people are after.

I would spend $1000 hiring people to add content and build links, while I spent the other $4K in a Spearmint Rhino.

1.Aweber + Email series
2.Buy a domain and get a good layout <$100
3.Create squeeze page, thank you page
4.$100 adwords credit and start testing 1 cent clicks method(CTR/Opt In's etc).

Get yourself some decent SEO software. That's all you really need. And it'll cost you far less than 5k to get all the best tools. After that you can invest in the creation of a product or service.

SEO SEO SEO

outsource marketing to different individuals, see which of them has good strategy, focus on that and see how your 5000 increase

First of all i would buy dedicated hosting for 6 months, after that i would get a co.uk domain, get a web designer, create a seo website, and start investing in ppc.

I'd buy an established website that had recurring membership fees. It also would need to be in Google for high traffic phrases. Yeah. That's what I'd look at doing. Take that 5k and turn it into risidual income. But the 2012 economic world wide destruction will be a downer. lol

I would get myself SEO, get niche and hire people to work for me.

Create a product. outsource it all.

I guess, if you know how to use ppc, you could invest and bring in some huge traffic.

Stocks and Internet Marketing

i would start a new website with a new product marketing. and also invest in different PPC campaigning to increase my conversion. i already use Google and its simply great.

Isnt PPC a little tricky though? not necessarily a great investment unless you knwo what you are doing?

I would invest it in domains, and outsourcing backlinks

HI

I would search the domain forums for a 1 word .com or a popular 2 word .com phrase.. spend 3k on it... then install word press on it... buy a domain you that you are interested in , maybe something to do with your hobbies... you can even check our afternic.com or sedo.com or Pool.com

Spend 200-300 to get a custom theme made...

The rest Would Spend on getting articles written... and a product made... and a clickbank merchant account...

Also spend $50 to submit your domain to all the link directories... and buy some cheap twitter blaster from fiverr.com and other sites like that..

The main thing you want is a good .com domain...

To get good Serp rankings..

Thx
Tom

P.s

Also get an Awber account and build ya list

Outsource; KW research, content layout, content, and SEO. Rinse and repeat. Can probably have 10 sites ranking well enough for decent traffic in a month

SEO, PPC and Affiliate Marketing...

I would like to invest 1500$ on outsources to make backlinks and updating content for my sites. Rest of the money...I will invest on buying share of popular companies.

I would make a very professional forum and spend remaining $$$$ for SEO purpose.

I would search for a IM seminar on the Bahamas and spend most of the day drinking pina coladas with fellow IMers doing JV's.

Because some times in a bar is where you learn the more. A corona and 30 minutes talk can benefit way more than a 3 hours seminar.

With the 5k.... I would use $500 dollars to have a couple hundred articles written for me.
Then use $1000 dollars to buy dozens of different solo ads.

With the articles I would do alot of article marketing but it won't just be article marketing the traditional way....It would be article marketing on STERIODS!!!
Meaning these are the steps I would take

1)Submit Article To Directories
2)Make a short video about the article
3)Submit the videos to video directories
4)Submit the articles to social media sites using Onlywire
5)Make a podcast about the article
6)Submit the article to podcast directories

Outside of paying for the articles to be written the 6 steps are free
or low cost to do. So this will save you money.

I would have the solo ads and article content pointing to a squeeze page.
Which will allow you to build your list of subscribers.

Using your autoresponder you can promote different affiliate products or
resell rights products. With the sales and commission you make just reinvest
at least 50% percent back into your business....Rinse then Repeat.

If I were you just focus on those article marketing tactics instead of doing something
like PPC. With Pay Per Click you can lose most, if not all your money fast.

i will create my site " articles directory " and i make it for free for all people submit thier articles.

2000$ will be for a good content...
1000$ marketing and backlinks.

2000$ for any future plan.

I'd invest in Amazon affiliate sites, just because they make a great recurring monthly income. Even buy existing ones that already have rankings & sales.

outsource everything to the best!!

I've had success in investing it back into my business with advertising online

With 5,000 for IM, i would create about 5 products at 1,000 each in first costs. Market them well and hope they are all winners with market research.

Outsourcing article writing & submission on a massive scale.

reinvesting in any of our online businesses that are generating money by scaling up the marketing and linking services

What I do is find ways to turn $100 of someone's work on my website into $200. Then I repeat that process. I start with small brush strokes, not a paint gun.

I would invest it in my own unique systems.

Outsourcing..find seo company to optimize your sites..buy a lot more banner advertisement!

Here's what I would have done.

Use $3000 to buy 300 domains with long tailed keywords once all the keyword research has been done.

Invest in hosting and start building organic sites for each one of the domains. Do all the regular promotional work and backlinks to get them ranked.

On the other hand I would also find a problem that a lot of people are looking to automate and outsource software programming for a piece of software.

After that I would write a sales letter for it, price it fairly and submit it everywhere including clickbank to find affiliates promote it for me.

Do some really good keyword research target Google Page 1. Rank it. Build it out with high quality content and start building backlinks. Do this many many times until you get 100+ bringing in decent adsense and amazon money. you should include CPA offers if you can find some that are related to that particular niche. Develop your own WSO/product and stick them on your websites. Flip half of the sites, and keep half. Keep this going in a cyclical fashion.

Hope this has helped

Decide on a great product that is hot, buy an old domain that contains at leas a part of the kewyword and do extensive seo on it

I would push hard to focus on your bread and butter SEO. Backlinks, ranking, things of that nature.

Well, if you will give it to me now then I will tell you.. Seriously, I want to invest on something unique. Maybe I will invest it in internet marketing.

I am a little bios to the methods I use, but this is what I would do:

$2,500 into savings....something like a money market account that has no penalties for withdrawals (this is for later)

$500 into article writing and submitting. This can get you a lot of great content that can be submitted all over the place for both backlinks and for traffic. I would try to get between 50 and 100 articles for this amount, at least 400 words each.

$500 to build backlinks in other ways. There are many services in the "warrior for hire" section that do this

$1,000 to buy two more websites that are already making decent cash in other niches. I would use these to build lists in these other niches and to build up more income. Always good to have more than one stream of income.

$500 to buy some more articles for the two new sites for backlink building and traffic.

I would, then try to take all the profits that are made and treat these three sites like three separate businesses. As they make money I would reinvest in more articles (ongoing each and every month since content is king), I would hire someone to turn some of the best performing article on EZA into videos and pay to have those submitted all over the web.

The other $2,500 I would start to slowly invest into the sites that perform the best out of these three. I would probably use some of it to buy another site or two as well and start to build it up, but I would wait about a month or two before I make that decision.

Just my two cents.

Benjamin Ehinger

Lots of interesting replies. I learned lots from them.
I would probably get articles written and buy some domain names.
