    Ok so here is my short story. Im a young adult and im trying to find a job no luck the economy is horrible people are getting laid off and taking the jobs I would. So ive always seen that investing is a great thing. I also here the stock market is in not so bad shape despite or economy here in USA.

    But enough with my story my questions is I have some money not a whole lot not over a hundred dollars. Im looking to perhaps invest or double this money as im sure every one else in the world wants to.

    So does any one have some good tips or suggestions for me as to what to do with this small amount of money I do have to invest/profit it to more?

    Note: Please do not post any HYIP or any other sort of silly PTC. Or any other pyramid scheme of the sort as im not a fool :D.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi

    why should not start a web hosting business??

    for this business investment is very low.. you need a reseller account with a hosting provider it cost starts around $25 per month..

    you need to learn some basic concepts and technical things in hosting..

    our advance wishes for your bright feature..

    Just put it in a savings account. This amount is just too small to start something decent with.

    I agree that it's not much to start with. Perhaps if you have skills in some area you could write a small piece of software or an ebook, set up a website, do some free marketing and go from there. Or maybe invest in setting up a website and do some affiliate marketing?

    Take that $$ go to buy some potential site.
    Flip the site by increasing the site revenue and PR.
    Sell it at the higher price.

    A hundred dollars? That isn't much. Either invest in your computer skills or buy OIL and sit on it. Should make money on that down the road.

    It all depends on what skills you have on the web too. You can buy cheaps sites and turn them over and sell them for more but do you have the necesaary knowledge to do these thing?

    Sell sunglasses on Ebay. One source is Asia Pacific
    (aptcinc.com). Minimum order $150.

    Also, reverse search for companies on google.
    To reverse search type in Asia Pacific sunglasses
    and look for websites with company names.

    Also, if you're in a area with decent retail prices,
    go to the dollar stores and find decent $1 sunglasses.
    Sell them on ebay with at least a $5 markup.

    or go to viatrading.com and see what items are available.

    If you get bored with packing and
    customer service, you can move on to something better.

    Note: Can't say this will work for you. There's alot of
    details, little time.

    Why don't you keep the 100.00 and start working on some t-shirt stuff that you can start doing and making money for Free?
    Read the post on Anyone making real money with Cafepress, Zazzle, ShirtCity, etc? It takes a lot of work but it will pay off.

    If hosting business impress you and you've good online & offline contacts, starting hosting business with reseller program is easier.
