    Aside of typical file hosting sites, youtube sites and stuff .. what is the big thing that can be started using a capital of $50,000?

    May be you don't like to share your dream idea, but still ... what you think is good to do with this?

    :rolleyes:

    I'd launch a nice web directory. I already have one, so I'd just improve it :D

    I'd put 25k away in the bank and learn about the stock market, and invest small(ish) amounts ($1,000 - $5,000) in stocks, and take some risks

    if I lose in the stock market game, I still have 25k to invest in safe, slow-coming returns

    Il just buy existing websites on DP. Last one i bought was $260. It has made me over $1000 in 3 months with no work what so ever. I just tweaked the Adsense a little. Took me 20 minutes or so. Similar thing with the proxy. $60 turned into $500 within a few months without any work what so ever.

    Could you post the site? That sounds like a great idea if we are able to get that kind of return. Great work! :)

    Intelligent response.

    I am doing that, but meanwhile, I am looking to invest into a couple more things. I don't want to keep all my eggs in same basket.

    10k - stocks
    10k - one website, over a few months
    10k - the rest of your websites
    20k - put in the bank for a rainy day ;)

    but would 30k be enough?

    I always wanted a site that sold contact lens. I have seen the success of some of the lens sites out there and I wonder how much someone would need to spend on the site itself never mind inventory. Im sure well over $50,000!!

    A site itself probably wouldnt cost more than a couple of thousand. No idea on stock costs, I dont wear glasses/lens so no idea how many different kinds there are.

    If you already have a site and want to diversify away from the internet, then you can become a lender on prosper.com. The returns you get from loaning other people money will be higher than bank or stock returns.
