I'VE got $50 to devote to IM . how would you go about spending $50

Paid traffic to some affiliate product

That depends upon what you have now, sir.

The key variables in any problem are impossible to define without knowing the existing equation.

Since you didn't tell us your experience, talents, and time limit this is what I'd do.

I would use it on paid traffic. PPC for sure.

Look for coupon vouchers first and use them up, then use the $50.

I would either direct link or make a squeeze page. Depends on niche and what I was promoting.

**warning**
You're going to need experience or talent or both to make a profit this way, especially with $50. But I've done it more than once when all I had were lint balls in my pockets.

Start the campaigns very slowly and tweak often to make your conversion ration sky high.

My impression of the above statements sounded like speculation or gambling...

Does the OP want to build a side business or a business with a full time income?

$50 isn't enough. Forget earning online.

Ppc etc requires lot of reading, wsos, blueprints, split testing and hours and 100s\1000s of potential failures because you can guarantee success each time.

Be real and start earning more first or work towards free websites like fiverr and freelancer.

You can't enter IM when you are broke. You will end up in debt.

In today's world, the sad truth is that $50 isn't going to get you very far. I would start by looking into free traffic sources like social media. The first purchase I would make with that money would be an AWeber account. Then possibly a war room sub. Then put what you've learned to work!

Well, I would say that's the basic for testing some methods. There's no sure investement, experience is what count.

I know my way around the affiliate / internet marketing world. so I'm no newbie.

but trying to figure out whats the best way to spend $50. I have had some success with ppc to clickbank offers. but trying to figure out whats the absolute most profitable way to spend 50 bucks in I.M

$50 is a decent amount to get started building your online business. There are so many choices out there that it ultimately up to you how you decide to invest it. If you're a big risk taker I would go with go with a PPC campaign. If you would like to play it safe you can invest in domain, hosting and autoresponder services and drive traffic to your funnel.

I'd get:

- An Autoresponder (Getresponse, Aweber)
- Hosting
- And a Domain

Then I'd:

- Create a quality ebook in a Hungry, Profitable Market. (Fitness Niche, Weight Loss, Dating and Relationships etc.)
- Price it between $9.95-$20
- Put it on JVZoo and Give 100% Commission
- Contact Big Affiliates within that market and start networking with them.
- Create an OTO/Upsell that would complement your initial ebook and that is where you make the money, PLUS you build a buyers list of which you can then further build a relationship with and promote more of your products or affiliate offers to them in the future.

With your $50 investment you would still be left with a decent amount of change. The only thing it would consume a fair amount of is TIME. :-)

Best of Luck!

Uhh... some of the advice in here is scary.

If ALL you have is $50 for a budget, put it back into your bank and use it to live. Ramen Noodles are your best friend in a time of need... and water to counteract all the Sodium you're going to have in your system.

What you'll probably end up doing disregarding what anyone says is purchasing a couple of $7 or $17 eBooks from the WSO section hoping they'll make you a success.

However my advice:

Put your $50 away.. put it in the bank as I said and live.

You have no idea what you're in for. You need a clue on what you'd like to do, what you'd like to pursue and a clear goal for yourself. If your goal is "to make money", you're going to fail. No one's logging online to make you money, people have problems they want solved or questions they want answered.

If you're that hard up at the moment, provide a freelancer service for something that you're good at here on the forum or at one of the other various places to find work at.

There's Textbrokers, Elance and IWriter just to name a few.

Sure, they're not ideally high pay or desirable pay but if times are that rough that you only have $50 to spend, I don't think I'd be too picky on what jobs I was doing.

Ignore anyone telling you to invest into paid traffic. Pay Per Click is definitely not an area that the newbie should be venturing into. Before you know it, you'll have a negative one thousand dollar account because you forget to set a certain setting and you picked horrible keywords and not only that but you'll find out that there was not a single sale to be made.

The most valuable investment you can put into IM isn't money or a dollar amount but it's time and effort. By effort I mean proper audience and market research, product/website development and marketing. Throwing money at a website isn't enough, you need to understand why people need to come to that website, why they would want to in the first place, how it can help them and a whole laundry list of other things.

This is kind of like one of those questions like "what product should I buy?" I would honestly say... none of them.

Go get some beer. That's what I would do

OK this is not my last 50 bucks. Its just money that I want to spend on IM . And I want to know how to get the most out of it.

An old idea I saw somewhere a while back.... buuuutttttt

You could use people on fiverr to make youtube videos and monetize the videos using cpa offers.

Get large amounts of viewers by piggy backing off of popular videos or create top ten, top twenty, etc. type videos.

Hope that may help.

Web hosting, autoresponder and an affordable link tracking software. Any left over I would use to purchase a niche appropriate SEO optimised .com domain.

Beware, most of the people who advise you on WF don't earn anything themselves. They are here just for namesake.

There are 1000s of real gems but they would all agree that starting out in IM when you are desperate is one of the reasons most people fail.

Just save your cash.

And come back when budget isn't an issue and you can devote both time and money.

i dont know a thing about fast money, sorry.

I specialize in slow and steady money.

Here are my two cents:

Start an authority site and work it like there is no tomorrow. Here is one way to start:

Paid traffic with PPC to affiliate offer.. but don't use adwords..there is many more PPC networks that are much much more cheaper and alowe you to direct link to affiliate offer..

You can triple your money this way in less then 24 hours..

Best of luck!

If I were you and knowing what I know about you in the first post (haven't read any further). I'd find what interests me, find the top leaders in that niche, see if they had coaching of any sort and save to get their coaching.

Group coaching is usually more inexpensive, but I prefer one-on-one access either via skype (or other instant messagers like AOL, gtalk, etc.) or phone. Get to know from those that have already succeeded in your area of interest. Note thought that you may need additional funds to actual start seeing some activity (money, traffic, list etc.) so ask before you commit to coaching about other funding you may need to succeed.

You could write 5-10 PLR articles and then sell them in the WSO section if you are a pretty good writer.

If not, pay someone to write them for you.

If you pick a hot topic and do a good job writing or outsourcing the articles, they will sell.

Even if you only break even, you will have a list of buyers. You can send them an email when your next batch is ready. Mail Chimp is a free autoresponder that you can use.

I would advise you NOT to invest it in PPC unless you are an expert. You will regret it.
