    I'd invest in a nice system of blogs and proxies..

    Then i could watch it grow and gain more money..

    I might try proxies actually, do you really think there is still a market though?

    Option 1. - Typical approach

    Honestly buy a few domains with pr 3 and 4's - ideally with a keyword in name but not required

    Install wordpress sites in high paying niches, customise header and colors, add relevent content auto feeds (outsource if required from BST section)

    Optimise for seo and ppc, add adsense and adbrite advertising,

    Get 5-10 unique articles and post on site (again outsource)

    Submit to major article submission sites using free auto submit software or again outsource

    use free search engine submission tools to submit to major ones

    After a month or so: Sell text links on the site, add one new article (every month or so) and tinker to max. income

    Have any budget left then buy submission to social bookmarking sites/paid traffic to get them going

    Exchange links with some other relevent sites

    Sit back and monitor for few months - if not profitable then sell them off showing good stats

    May take longer than earnings from an established site but it should just slowly build into steady income

    BUT probably looking at least 6-12 months before getn into profits so more longterm approach


    OPTION 2. Buy established site but one that you have the skills to manage and proven/ scope for income
    OPTION 3. Buy pr domains cheap and try to flip for profit
    OPTION 4. Setup a membership site or forum with free/paid option on a topic that interests you
    OPTION 5. Go to BST section here and pay a long time trusted member/ join a course to learn how to earn money online off them - risky but if they are good and reveal their secrets then the knowledge will be invaluable.
    OPTION 6. Go to a casino and let it all ride on black or red at roulette table, if win THEN walk away with $600

    All have some risk associated and have no guarantee :)

    OPTION 7: Set up a small ebay business using dropshipping (if you can find what sells and honest dropshippers and handle some paypal disputes/putting up with customers)

    Heaps of ideas around here if you search the forums to find the info

    This type of question comes up as often as how do i earn $30 per day etc.

    Spend it on some quality training/information. Apparently wealthyaffiliate is quite good, but you could buy some decent ebooks from the BST section or join courses that some people are offering.

    One thing to consider is what sort of return on your investment are you looking for.

    Are you looking to put the money in, and pull out all of plus a profit(ie. buy PR domain and flip for profit) , are you looking for something that builds to a large monthly income over time(ie.build and market an established site), or are you looking for something that makes a steady profit from the start(ie. landing page advertised with PPC with affiliate advertisements).

    You need to figure out your goal before you can plan your path.
