$500 monthly budget | How would you spent (or plan it)

Hello,
I am trying to build a marketing plan.

I am interested in hearing from webmasters here if you had $500 a month marketing budget each month, how would you plan the spending.

Here is what I have in mind, but i would appreciate your own ideas:

(1) $300 on PPC (adwords)
(2) An article and submission (about $100 alltogether)
(3) Blog commenting, scoial bookmarking , directory submissions and forum posting (about $100)

Has anyone got better ideas or what else would you do?

Thanks in advance

 

Depends on what you're trying to achieve.

 

are you kidding What do you wish to achieve by doing what ?

 

I'd start off very small on adwords and get some experience. Turn one campaign into a successful one and build on that experience. Otherwise, it can be a great way to burn a lot of cash if you don't know what you are doing (not saying that you don't - just making the point). I think writing articles really depends on what you are trying to promote. Just my $0.02...

 

Pay the best web designer for a best web design. ;D

 

Completely depends on what I am marketing...

 

hi,

you can do the free marketing yourself & pay for the ppc to be done for you.

 

What would be an expected cost if i outsourced the PPC to a person or company?

 

Don't outsource for PPC for only $300 a month budget. Many companies outsource to advertising agencies but the good agencies request a minimum of $1,000 a month budget which they also take a fee for creating and running your campaigns.

 

What are you marketing? Why are you doing article marketing and PPC?
$500 bucks... I would slowly build a black hat empire month by month.
Get a new tool each month and master it! (XRumer, Cookie Monster, Craygo, etc.)
