What to do with a $1,000 budget

If you had $1,000 to spend to get a new site off the ground, how would you spend it?

 

What kind of site are you opening? Is it going to be a blog, forum,,,, or some kind of big reviews site? Depending on the software you want to use, there goes a certain amount of your money right there.

Some of the things that I would do with the left over cash, buy a nice digital camera that does video.
Buy some articles.
Pay for a server 6 months in advance - that way you dont have to worry about servers fees for a few months.
Maybe buy some interviews with professionals in your niche

 

I agree that your strategy should reflect what kind of site it is. My approach would be to devote more resources to linkbuilding/seo if it's in a less competitive niche, and favor PPC if it's in a more competitive one.

 

Get a nice design and spend the rest of your money on banner advertisements and back linking.

 

Hiring a marketing guy to effectively fire off a business model and implement it.

PPC, article marketing, blogs and perhaps a xrumer blast depending on your time constraints.

 

Create a niche website, like either article site or directory site or any thing, promote it, and get lots of webmasters as your friends, so that you will get good advertisement to your site.

Earn revenue from adsense.

 

That is a very general question,is that money to be included in the purchase of the site or general marketing of it ??? If you could be a bit more specific you may get some more feedback.

 

I agree. Spend most of it on a great design, nice logo and professional look and feel. Then spend teh rest on articles and organic SEO.

SEO takes time, but get a good looking site first.

 

I'd buy a website on flippa.com that was already doing well and improve it to the best of my ability. That is if i had $1,000 that i wanted to invest of course

 

Depends on niche of website, and competition. But I'd definitely spend some money on content, and links in any case.

Take a bit of time to learn how to set up a CMS, buy a template (50$) and you have 950$ to invest in SEO.

 

some link building services after u start running the business!

 

Everyone is talking about design. Look at googles home page. It's simple, nothing special and yet its use way more yahoo and bing.

If your doing SEO stuff i'd buy a domain that has age. Make the site as simple as possible from browsing to purchase then driving traffic via joint venturing, banner ads, reviews sites and a little bit of ppc.

 

would suggest you pick up any of the good ebboks available on such topics and read it through.

 

That's clever... I think I would research for established systems that work and invest on this automated sites.

 

I would use the $1000 to have articles written and get memberships at sites like Unique Article Wizard to help with backlinks.

 

well 100 for maintainning the site and rest for advertising
