    This may have been done before, and with this business you can pretty much start out and succeed with no money at all, but if you had 100 dollars to spend to make the process quicker and easier on yourself, what would you invest it in?

    Would like to hear anything, whether its PPC, domains, subscriptions, software, links, articles etc.. Lets get creative!

    Mmmm... $100 isn't very much. I myself didn't exactly start from nothing... I had a second job to provide additional income as a means of funding.

    With the exception of a few good advertising / marketing books, that is basically all you can do with it.

    Put it in your piggy bank, there, Jimmy, and wait until you get more money.

    I would use that money to start a blog and then write to your hearts content. Is $100 the only amount your going to invest?

    PPC - depends on business
    domains - always needed when going to start a new project and they are not free
    subscriptions - useless
    software - use warez
    links - useless
    articles - depends on business although applicable to most, good for promotion / backlink building / traffic

    How can you waste $100 on a blog? I mean, what do you need other than hosting and domain name?

    I would build the blog using spun PLR, add in affiliate links to Clickbank products, CPA offers, Adsense, video adsense, a free PLR report for your optin (you can get a free auto responder), and a PLR book you can sell.

    Then, I'd invest $50.00 into 10 articles, and sit on the other $50.00 into hiring a VA from India or the Phillipines to social bookmark your articles on the top 15 or 20 social bookmarking sites.

    I will invest in articles to build my list. If you have a responsive list, you have a business.

    I think it really depends on my niche. Some niche's you automatically know the good places to advertise. Others, you know that PPC won't exactly work. Blogs do well on SEO, but PPC doesn't really fit the model that most blogs go for. So it can vary greatly. You just have to be realistic in the way you think to come up with a good marketing plan.

    In my personal opinion, $100 is plenty to get started in terms of marketing. As your business grows, so can your marketing budget.

    Some sort of blog then acquire traffic and ultimately advertisers. Or, start a simple e-commerce site with a unique/desirable product. :)

    If I have $100 then I will invest it into high paying interest rates site.
    I like to invest for some period of time to receive good interest.

    $100. .... Woo! heh for that little, I'd just invite some friends over for some beer and pizza.

    If it was $200, maybe call a hooker. :)

    I would spend $20 a day with PPC for the first 5 days. Then probably realize I just wasted $100.
