    Say I have $200-$300 to invest into something. I know it isn't a lot but I want to see some kind of return, not huge but something. What can I do? Of course I will do some work and all. Please don't suggest Forex, gambling, or PTC sites. Thank you.

    Start a web site. Use the money for a domain, hosting and design. Use whatever left on ppc traffic. Profit from the site by selling something you create or use google adsense. Or

    Buy things cheap say from slickdeals sell them via craigslist and ebay.

    If you know how to code in PHP/Ajax, develop a live forum application (like phpBB but that updates the thread replies in real time)

    through this amount is too less to start something, but you can start a blog with that, and use 50% of the amount in marketing....as you aready to work regularly, you can start writing some good content.....best of luck

    if i was you, i would probably create a CD(Certificate of Deposit) you can give them this money of yours, and THEY will invest in it.

    other then that i could suggest try to get involved in selling items, buy stuff that might be interesting to your friends and sell them. Craigslist and eBay is a good way.

    I would say to start a website. Spend the money on hosting, domain (and coding if you need it). Then spend whatever is left on advertising. You could, as suggested, start a blog. This will cost very little to set up, and providing that you can add quality, unique content, you should get some viewers. Stick some ads on there and make an income, and then sell on if you want short term investment, or keep going and try to make the blog even bigger if you want long term.

    You may probably want to start a online retail business. it might be risky if you're still green to this area. You might sell products in eBay to test products in order to find out which able to sell more. You should try drop shipping in which you don't have to buy bulk products and sell it at your stores. You only purchase it based on the order made by your customers. For newbies, visit http://dropshippingessentials.com
