I've got 1.46$, what to do?

    Hi,

    the topic title is not true (to be honest, this is my best month ever and I got a few hundreds more.) But I have 1.46$ at my paypal right now.
    And just for a test of what you can do with 1.46$ I am testing what I can make with this small amount of money.

    Anyone got tips how I can get more?

    I've tried this in dutch with 1€ (1.35$) and at the end of the month I got 200$ :p. Now I am trying in international.

    I bought a domain wich I sold for 10€. I bought 3 .info's from me2you for 3.5$ (proxymeet.info, joomlaexpert.info and website4you.info)
    I sold website4you.info for 10$, joomlaexpert.info for 1.5$ and I started a proxysite on proxymeet.info.
    Proxymeet.info made me +/- 4$ on adsense in 2 weeks, then I sold the site for 50$.
    --------
    Invested: 1.3$
    profit: 65$

    After that I bought some scripts and domains and sold them for more :).
    This month earnings: +/- 650$
    And I am only 14 years old :D.

    That's a start :) Yes, that's easy to earn but I am amazed that you managed to do all that with such a low budget, good work.

    I would suggest:

    Buy a .info domain name (I believe they're about $1.20 in total).

    Get some free PHP hosting.

    Install WordPress, and an optimized Theme.

    And now write and write. Everyday, write more. About what? Anything you love. If you can think of something you could see yourself writing about once a day, then choose that.

    Once you've got quite a few pages do some link exhanges with relevant websites.

    Submit to as many free directories as you can.

    Submit your articles and posts to a lot of article directories.

    Submit your website to as many Social Bookmarketing websites as possible, and perhaps even participate in some exchange threads in the freebies forum.

    Save time with the above step by installing the OnlyWire AutoSubmit WP Plugin, which will ping 18 Social Bookmarking sites with your post everytime you make a new post.

    Put a link to the site in your signature on forums related to your site, and post regularly.

    Comment on blogs related to your site. I do not encourage the use of spam though, if you are commenting on blogs related to your site you should have enough background knowledge to make an intelligent comment.

    Tell your friends, create myspace bulletins.


    I think that just about sums up one method :)

    abstroose, made a excellent post, I've added you rep for that. That's a great investment with your low budget Justin, later in a month or two you could sell that blog for a certain big amount.

    Regards,
    Meti

    Wel, I tried a blog about my way to 'the top'. But I don't think it has many visitors(blogspot blog, no stats)
    Cause internet marketing is my only hobby I don't know much to write about.
    I am thinking of starting another proxysite. Cause a proxysite is a trafficsite. And Traffic = Earnings.

    There's a coupon code for GoDaddy so you can purchase 0,99$ .info's, with ICANN fee it ends up somewhere at 1,2$

    Thanks,

    Great ideas. It's amazing what is possible to do with as little as $1-2 if you have time.

    That's it. The key to success is dedication. It doesn't matter what anybody else says, that why's spam doesn't work. If you have dedication, and give your project 100% you can achieve anything.

    From dedication branch two items: Money and time. Success requires one or the other, or sometimes both. If you have just $1 - $2 to invest, then you're going to be looking at putting a lot of time into it. Similarly, I work 50+ hours a week and therefore do not have much time, and so running/marketing my websites is sure expensive.

    Thanks, I am proud of myself too.
    I was selling and selling and yesterday I was thinking "How much did I earn this month?" So I started counting, when I was finished I counted again cause I didn't believe it myself :p.

    Wel, many people think all e-marketeers sit at their computer and do nothing. But before you get real money you need to work real hard ;).
    Buying 7$ reports won't make you rich.

    Well, there is that one internet icon that turned a paperclip into a house through making several good trades and gaining internet popularity.

    Imagine what you could do with a BOX of paperclips!?!?

    No, but seriously... I would hire an overseas writer to do a small 300-400 word travel article (pick a fairly unique, but also popular destination) and then turn around and sell it for $3 - $4 here on DP. That would be a start. ;)
