Well, here is the $300 question. What should I do with it? I'm brainstorming at this moment and I'm not sure how to invest this. Should I buy a website? Should I make one and load it with content, and pay someone to advertise SEO? What should I do, or what would you do? Please don't joke with 'give it to me'.
Go buy a high earning website. or just hire someone to set up a new vbulletin forum for you. vBulletin always recovers the money spent!
If you have developing skills or any skills that you could adapt to developing a website yourself i would go with this option. You need to find what you are skilled at, if your not skilled in any particular job you could do with finding a job that you would like to be skilled at. For example being able to know HTML and how to code a website, well you would use your $300 to invest in to building your own website. Learning the basics first so start with something small then sell it perhaps make some money. If you cant be bothered with this then buy a website, if you want something low maintanence and with a steady flow of income i would go with a proxy site. If you want something as an investment a content site focused on your interested niche is always a good one. There are loads of options, you just need to do your research. Spend it wisely. Will. P.S I have a proxy site for sale
hurm...it's always the same answer...whatever $xxx that you have you must look at your current talent/ability how many time do you online per day? can do you do the seo/html/design thingy? how long you wanted to wait to get back your investment? how much risk would you take? what's your target? etc.... ask this questions at yourself.....you'll find the answer then.. regards
I know HTML and some PHP, as well as how to use photoshop and dreamweaver. I could develop a website, but I'm interested in starting a forum, how should I spread out my money to get a good turn on my money for members?
I would get a vBulletin forum and add vbseo then start adding content and building back links ( like placing a few links in your sig )
vBuliten is a must for any forum, like Logo.M said add content and build back links too start small, don't invest all the $300 keep some for the feature.
