    haha, I like this one. I see how when you see it online it looks like you'll find out a miraculous way in few pages but when you have it you find it kinda big :) hehe! Good one

    >Spent $200 for few mnths on shoemoney course.
    >Purchased a bunch of gaming sites for $3000 - Never capitalized them.
    > Purchased 50 facebook gift cards of $100 worth. When thought to use it after a month realized they all were valid for few days only.

    This is hard to answer, but I remember one of the most recent purchases (4-5 months ago I think). I bought Macro Marketer, it looked awesome and I thought it would be something I really needed. It might be awesome, but to me it wasn't. I haven't used it once :)

    Worst for me was paying for a few directory submission in the aim to get direct traffic, obviously this was more for SEO, but at the time I was new to online marketing. This was over 7 years ago.

    For me, it was investment on new domains. i bout around 11 domains, for $120 and they were of no use to me.

    I have not made an investment that ended in a loss for me. I give importance to the SEO techniques than the pay per click programs. Following the techniques of SEO is very important if you want to attain success in online business.
