If your making good money with Adsense you know where to spend it, lets be honest .... Looking for a click to your affiliate link maybe?
You're wasting you're money - you'd be best off giving me $5,000 - keep the other 5k and you'll thank me later.
exactly...only an idiot would come in here asking where to spend 10k... if you've got 10k to blow, I'm sure you're probably smart enough to figure out the rest. Stupid affiliate links
exactly...get some good stock and make far more than adsense....let the stocks grow....let them split, i started with 4 stocks about 10 years ago,..they have now split so many times i have about 100 and never put in more than a penny since my first initial buy of those 4. but if you want to spend 10k on a site...let me know how it goes i would like to see it when its complete.
Wow there has been a lot of conservation in this thread already about how to best spend $10,000 - I'll throw in my two cents in moment, but first I'll answer the original question. OK what sector? I'm going to assume that by sector you are meaning that you want to create a fresh new site that is monetized by AdSense in a niche that you haven't yet done. Well my best advice would be to sit down for literally five minutes and write down all the things you are interested in, passionate, have good knowledge about, or would be willing to learn about. Then once you have your list I'd go to DP's keyword suggestion tool and plug in all the things you came up with. You might find that a couple of them are searched for quite often and have a broad range of things to write about. Then I'd take these topics then have a quick look and the amount of competition there is already out there in proportion to the number of people that are searching for information about this topic. Then finally I'd have a quick look to see if their are a reasonable number of advertisers in the industry to make sure that there is actually money in having a site on this topic. That is how I would find an industry to start a new site on. Why? Because at the end of the day to really get ahead in this game you gotta be willing to do what the competition isn't and you need to know your product inside out, or at least be willing to learn. That is how you get ahead, so I personally think that it is important that when you create a new site you need to have good knowledge of what it is you are creating. As for web designers - well a place like DP is a great place to start. I'd head over to the services section and depending on what you want I'm sure for a couple hundred dollars, maybe $1,000 you could find yourself a very capable designer. That is my two cents on your question, but I'd also like to respond to a few of the other suggestions that people have made as well as make some of my own. The thing about advisors are you generally like them to be more knowledgable than yourself and doing what you want to be doing and doing it better. Now if he has $10,000 to spend on sites, chances are finding an advisor that is worth his while and would be willing to mentor him for $1,000 are pretty slim. I know I personally wouldn't mentor someone for only a one off payment of $1,000, but that is just me, and I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that would, but in reality they probably shouldn't be mentoring. It is like a lot of people that do SEO for money. A good SEO and online marketer could make at least five times what they would earn doing work for others if they worked on their own personal projects, so often if someone is offering their services chances are their services aren't that good... . Now if I had $10,000 this would be more of the avenue I would head down, except I would look to buy a couple of smaller sites that have lots of potential for growth, then use my skills to improve their earnings both via better AdSense integration and SEO - then if I felt the site had longevity I'd probably hang onto it and put it in my portfolio or I'd sell it for many times what I paid for it. If you can do this well you could honestly make an easy 100+% ROI in only a few short months - potentially a lot more depending on the condition of the site you purchased. That said I think you'd need a keen eye to know what to look for and obviously some skills in how to improve the site, a large proportion of people here at DP could easily do this, but like most things in life, and like myself I lack capital to take up such ventures, but hopefully not for long. Why would you invest in stocks and bonds for a 20% return (if you are lucky and the market is moving in the right direction - assuming that you spread you money across multiple stocks). Why not buy websites and pull in XXX% return on your money. Stocks, property, cash and bonds are all investments made by people that don't run businesses which are capable of many times the ROI that these investments can offer. That said spending $100,000 on websites might be excessive, because the sorts of sites you'd buy for that amount of money are most likely fairly well established and well optimized with not as much potential for growth, but at the $10,000 level there is definitely a lot better ROI to be made from buying and "renovating" websites. Why is he wasting his money?
If you wanted too, with about 5-7k you could buy an already established sites making 20$+ per day and the spend some on links and on adwords. i wish I had even 1k to spend.
They are just looking for someone to click the affiliate link in the signature.... Again if you're making good money with adsense the last thing you need to do is come to a forum and ask a rookie question like this. The fact that its a clickbank affiliate link shows this poster really doesn't have 10K to spend. Clickbank is so 7 years ago as is spamming forums.
