    Honestly, I would probably outsource most of what I need to get done with my budget. I love internet marketing, but many of the tasks I need to do are very time consuming.

      I would definetly send a solo ad, but first and foremost would be to buy highly targeted banner ad space on another website

      Yes, agree. Many task is time consuming, but outsource for just $1000 probable nothing much different, because outsource need continue in certain period, so that can see some results.

      I am thinking of Solo ads. Buy some solo ads, get subscribers and probable make some sales, then invest the earning back into the solo ads again.. with $1000, do you think is a good idea as investment?

    I may not have the next big idea that you're looking for, but I would advice you to stay away from PPC - don't waste your money on PPC! Try investing in something more sensible that promise good returns. If you want to spend your money on advertising at any cost, then try Facebook ads and select a CPM campaign. That always provides better results.

    You could definitely give it a shot with that kind of budget, I would want to split test and tweak them as the results came in though, so you don't blow through your budget too quick. Have you thought about doing some CPA offers and promoting them? What about doing some Facebook ads?

    What would I personally do with an extra $1000 to boost my business? Well right now I'm really getting into site flipping. So I would use $500 to get 25 service-websites built through my provider who offers bulk discounts. Then I would use the remainder to list the sites on Flippa. I would write the content myself for the sites since I feel I'm a competent writer--thus it wouldn't take me long.

    Yep... that's exactly what I would do!

      Yes, I think Facebook ads is quite effective, since I have block by Google PPC a few days ago.. :confused:

      BloggingPro, Flipping is one of the good option too. Thanks idea!

    I'd use the $1,000 to go out and buy a site that is established and is making at least $100/month consistently.

      Well lets see
      The market today is ruled by sleek websites which are browser and mobile device friendly so I would get my website compatible with all devices and browsers first.

      The second thing will be using google adwords or microsoft advertising

      plus some professionally developed video presentations will make a good icing on the cake.

    I would invest it into highly targeted traffic. YOu could turn taht $1000 into $2000 or even more.

    By doing this...

    1) 50% on a solo ad drop.

    2) 50% on PPC. but you have to know what you are doing. You can lose your shirt easily here.

    I'd do two things, and then keep the rest for future projects...

    Purchase 10 domain names, build the sites and write the content myself, then outsource all of the backlinking and SEO.

    Purchase a few solid domain names to flip for profit.

    Anyhow flipping is the best option as long as investing $1,000 for short term prospects is concerned.

    Buying a site at flippa which i know I can promote well, promote it, flip it.

    Or

    Research the niches, buy keyword domains(there are still ample of keyword domains available), sell them off.

    What you would do with 1000 will depend a lot of where you are in terms of your IM career?

    Do you have a coach or a mentor who can take an obective look at where you are and then he/she will be a good sounding board for you...

    IF you are reasonable successful... you would already know what you would need to and in which case you would just need to validate your idea with someone who is more experienced than you in your field.

    For one who is CPA expert he will want you to put your XXXX dollars in CPA but then for someone else who is in Offline market he will counsel you differently.

    Since I'm still tumbling around in the early stages of Internet marketing, I would use the money for:

    1) Purchasing a new printer/scanner/faxing machine, and
    2) Getting my own paid homepage as opposed to using only free blogs/websites, so I can have all the bells and whistles attached.

    I would also use the money to further advertise my work through online ads and physical ads around my hometown. I also wouldn't mind trying my hand at buying and flipping websites, too.
