$100, what can I do?

    Hello,

    I have a $100 budget to do something to make more money. I have a few ideas on maybe making a photoshop tutorial site or continue doing web design. I don't think web design is the right path for me right now but maybe in the future, after I practice a bit more, i can start something up.

    Well anyways,
    I saved up $100 from web design and now I need to spend it. Most say that spending money is easier than earning it. Well I don't believe so. I can't decide on what I could do to make more money. Possible double what I have over the next month or so.

    Any ideas? I don't really want to spend $100 buying proxy websites that earn 2c a day. I was also thinking ebook sales but I can't write an ebook.

    How about Affiliates? How would that work out? Where would I start?

    Thanks in advance,

    That is true,it is very difficult to invest money in the right way.If you have $100,why not start an adult blog?

    I have never worked with an adult blog. What are the benefits/negativies? What is the possible revenue? Regards.

    Since you know to make web design, you could start up a template site.

    Offer some free templates, include a link to your site somewhere in the footer, so your site will be well backlinked.
    Then later on you can sell link space when you get a nice PR ranking.
    You can also sell sponsor spots in the footer of your templates.

    Upload your template(s) to some of the template databases around to make your site more popular

    When traffic starts to kick in you can add google adds / affiliate links to similar product. The usecase is endless, just read around here on DP for ways to generate money with your site.

    I was actually thinking about doing that. But I can't code. Maybe I can find a cheap coder to do some of the coding for me. Or should I try and learn coding since I know the basics.

    I have another question. Where do I get quality pictures that I could use for the templates for free? I'm use to making my own pictures to fill in the space but it takes a while.

    Thanks,

    Don't spend on one project. Try investing in a diverse range of projects. i.e. websites with affiliate promotions?

    You might want to try PTC? ex:bux.to

    $100 is not a lot's of money...you need something that please you in order to gain continuety,you may start a niche blog or create a proxy network...just do something that's easy

    well do some research first...and then set your target


    regards

    How would I make money with a blog? Adsense? How many articles would I have to write, for example in a week?

    Yeh maybe PTC is a good option. Bux.to for $100 referalls will get u on average $300/month [Continuously] Then you can buy more and more referalls and earn a stable $1500/month.

    I know people doing this. Bux.to is the only one i trust.

    I invested a once off payment of $50 in becoming a reseller of domain names & web hosting. I now have 40 domains listed under my account.

    Best thing I did, as now I also design sites so I can offer the full package, and the only outgoing is the domain renewal which is like $10 p/year.

    I don't advertise either as most of my business comes from word of mouth.

    It's all automated aswell so I spend as much or as little time as I need to..

    I think it is the wrong way to ask "i have a small amount of money, how to make big cash fast" ....

    Try to find something YOU are interested in. Build a page, build content and start to grow your site. If you see that others are also interested in this, try to find a way to make some money with your work (adwords, affiliates and so on).

    That way could work, the other way would not - in my opinion.

    if you are good at writing and are creative start your blog and start making some money with adsense, link sales and advertisements. Make big cash fast is a good desire, but mostly hard workers get rich.
