How to spend $100

    Hello everyone. I'm not a very rich fellow and do not have that much to invest in a website or anything. My budget is currently only about $100.

    I want something that I can start up for a low cost, and I can keep running for a low cost and that will eventually pay for itself and pretty much run itself. I have been thinking about a Proxy website, what do you think? Is $100 enough to get a good one going and generating money?

    I would love any 2cents. Thanks.

    I would rather go for a content related website. And I can get you 2 websites for your $100.

    It is more than enough.

    You can start with a Wordpress
    blog. It would be best to host
    it on your own domain but you
    can go the completely free
    route if you want.

    Or you can even download some
    good free WYSIWYG software
    to create your own website.

    I would use the money to get
    quality content for the site.

    As already mentioned, start with the free stuff, search the forum and see what you can find :)

    If you make your own website by yourself of course your costs will be much lower, like bandwidth and domain reg costs. If you need the work done head over to the site sales forum and see the deals there, plus check out Clive's offer of 2 content websites. That could be a good deal right under your nose. :)

    $100 is definitely more than enough to start up.

    As for getting your site to pay for itself, you have several options to look into:

    You can sign up for free affiliate programs, and put links on your site along with reviews on those products.

    You can put Google Adsense on your site and drive a ton of traffic to your site.

    These are just a few typical ones, there's lots of others you can look into.

    Now the way my webhosting works is for everyone I refer to that service under me, I get $10 per month, per person, as long as that person remains signed up. So with this service, refer 3 people and your site really does pay for itself ($24.95 per month).

    I promote my site with only free advertising techniques such as forum posting and article marketing. I don't spend a dime on advertising my site at all.

    Thanks to all of you. I should of included that I know HTML, PHP and some javascript and the creation/editing of a website is no problem.


    ex-online-money was the most helpful to me it seems. I think I may go with the affilate programs, with adsense.

    Anyone have any experience in this who could offer a good way to get start, perhaps an ebook? Cheap if not free?

    Get yourself a PLR membership and use those articles to create ebooks and niche sites. Add AdSense as well and start driving traffic to them.

    Create websites and sell them. Buy some good templates, if necessary, because that will increase the value of the website considerably.

    hmm, let's see:

    1. One order of baby-back ribs from Claim Jumpers: About $30
    2. One twelve pack of Corona: About $15
    3. Six limes: $2
    4. 50 songs on iTunes: About $50

    Now you're ready to do something. :)

    Sorry. After watching a recent South Park episode, I keep my change to myself. ;)

    I setup my first proxies using less than that... Actually if you disregard what i spend for hosting i started quite a few (tip: as many .info's you can buy).. and its definately been worth the investment(even though I don't use adsense anymore)...

    But remember to not get stuck with proxies and use the money earned to start new websites...

    Cheers!!!

    You can start with no money at all if you want.

    visit Getfinancialfreedom4u.ws for lots of ideas on getting internet opportunities which either cost nothing or as little as $10 a month.
