    What would you spend $500 to generate even more money?

    How quickly could you turn this $500 into $1500?

    Serious and doable ideas only please :D

    I think this would be a good discussion.

    Invest in quality content and one-way links, if you already have a site. $500 is not enough to make a PPC campaign work, but it might be enough to get a boost in the SERPS with some quality content, or some one-way links.

    If you don't have a site, use the money to make one :D

    You can purchase short domains (LLLL.coms CCC.coms) and sell them off at a profit. However you'll need to be savvy in finding good deals. Depending on your luck and ability, you can "quickly" turn $500 into $1500 or it could take you a while.

    Well, you've got three choices now:
    - Sell the domain on for a profit
    - Keep the domain in hope its value will raise
    - Make a site, and use the domain!

    If you do not know much about the whole internet world then I would say use that $500 to train yourself. Because if you dont you will lose it anyway and not get much training.

    design a site with good quality contents, then market your site either by purchasing quality traffic or promoting your site to socialbookmarking sites.

    I would counsel -- well, I would, wouldn't I? -- getting two tickets/hotel vouchers in the www.scottsgiveaway.com property raffle. At least you can get your money back if you don't win.

    Purchase some websites which are making a lot of money. Tell at DP market place that your budget is $500 and want to buy websites making lot of money.

    Inra, you probably will buy a website which gives $50 / month which is not a lot of money

    Hi!

    I'm new to this site but I think I can help you :D.

    Like some people said, create a high-quality website. But, first, train without buying any domain (Microsoft Frontpage, perhaps?) and ask to your friends if they like it. The idea is that you need to aim a specific age group (yours, preferably), then creating LOTS of content. This content would be on a specific subject you're good in, for example video games. Your objective here is to be a «reference» to some persons. They will get used to your site, and your site's value will increase. Or you can simply keep it and try a per-click add-on to get money.

    Hope it helped you!

    PS- Moviemedias, I respect your likes but I think playing at casino is much more luck than a good way of making money. It's my opinion, and I don't want to be mean or anything, it's just that I think he would have more chances to get more than 500$ with something else. ;)

    You can invest it in different ways, like partnering with someone and hope the business will go well or buy a website like a 3 letter domain and wait a few years and you got more than $1k in your pocket.

    Personally I have earned 1.9k+ by selling my 12 year old domain 3 letter domain, is easy to invest but is hard to wait.

    You can purchase a website and then try to increase the revenue of that site and then sell that at more profit. This is the best way to make money.
