What would you do if someone gave you $10000 to spend.

    OK just a silly thread pretend that the computer fairy slipped 10 large under your pillow and you had to invest it any sort of online adventure to try and get a maximum return. What would you invest your money on? Adwords, Text Links, Gamble it on Poker? I guess the only rule is you have 1 month to spend it.

    I'd hire article writers and have them submitted to the major article directories and then I'd hold forum posting contests with prize money to reward visitors for posting and turning into repeat visitors.

    I would pay someone to make me a site that mimics the windows desktop where users can make their own icons that have links to their favorite sites. Would also come with a toolbar so they can just click it and it adds it to their internet desktop.

    So basically an internet desktop that looks and acts like the windows version.

    Then I would do 2 chicks at the same time.

    Invest it into a web program that is already working, so you get more money back from it. The only problem is finding a trustworthy already working site :confused:

    I would buy lots of links from websites that have a lot of vistors( Min 1000 per-day) and with good PR.

    First of all, I'd buy the laptop in my avatar. With about $4000 left, I'd invest it in AdWords or maybe other advertisers.

    Same here, I'd try to buy a good site making $800-$1000/month currently.

    You could always go to Vegas and bet on black. If you are new to the net, start by purchasing a few good internet marketing and website building books.

    use the 10K as a good start to help bring on quality writers and to help promote the sites.

    get a big useful webportal made which will have great potential of attracting new users and start earning income from it :) also buy a few small sites and get lots of banner and text ads to my sites.

    Well content is king. I'll hire some professional content writers and have them churn out as many good quality articles as possible for a month or so. Then I'll use those articles on a site, and go from there.

    I'd sell myself a $10,000 backlink... then take my time spending the cash.


    ...or buy an already profitable site. Actually this is the best way to go.

    The last viral video I did cost a couple hundred bucks - and has been downloaded 10 or 20 million times.

    So, with $10,000, I'd make 50 more and retire with several billion hits this year! ;o)

    I'd pay off $10,000 of my debt.

    or

    I'd give $5,000 to Aaron Wall and $5,000 to Rand Fishkin and set them loose as a team on one of my sites.

    or

    Proper graphic design for all sites.
    Some radio advertising for one of my websites.
    Advertise on tightly relevant, high traffic blogs.

    or

    Hire a professional book editor to help me pollish my Press Release Book.
