    Hi,

    Let's say if you had any extra $3000 today to spend on Internet marketing...
    How would you spend this sum of cash to build an Internet business that's going to bring you a considerable amount of income over the next few months?
    What would you do to make the most out of that $3000?

    Thanks

    Look into PPC advertising combined with affiliate marketing, you could double.. yet triple that money. Then turn around and rinse and repeat.

    If I didn't know what I was doing and was just getting my feet wet, yes possibly.

    Rather look into things more advanced and try to start something on your own, will take a while, but more money back in the long run :)

    I would buy several aged websites that have proven earnings. It would be better than putting money in the bank. The trick is you would have to be very careful and be sure that you are aware of everything about the traffic sources and stats.

    I would seriously look at buying websites as well. If you bought well there is no reason you couldn't buy site(s) with a yearly income of $6000 or more, and then improve them to quite a decent level...

    In my opinion you would be better off building a website from scratch about something you are passionate about. Then with some of the money you could pay someone to build links, even buy some advertising, etc etc. and then you have your own site and money left over to pump into the advertising, seo or whatever else to help your site succeed.

    (but then again $3000 is not that much)

    put it in a high yield savings account.

    I would like for a small and established site that is more towards my niche and just purchase it and developed it further. Having an established site will save you lots of time and a small site won't eat into your budget too much and allow you to develop it in your own direction without the constraints of a big site.

    I would invest some in an already started internet project, open a hosting reseller to gain back that money and then invest in a few related money making sites, and link them as a network to maximize profits

    1) Ask your AM for offers doing well on an affiliate network.
    2) Pick an offer you are interested in
    3) Spend about $100 to get a nice Landing page designed.
    4) Spend $2,900 On PPC marketing the product.
