Hi thewindmaster, Most of the time the "site for sales" section is just full of rubbish - people trying to make a quick buck out of turnkey, proxy and other stuff (sorry if you make business doing this) My best advice would be to simply sit on the money and wait till something catches your eye which you can be really passionate about! By the sound of things you want to buy a website with your money so your best just holding on to it. What things are you passionate about thewindmaster?
I am starting to explore real estate myself... I live in FL where the market is shot and overpriced, so I am looking out of state at multiple unit buildings and such... In the meantime you should put your money is a 5% savings account and atleast get some return while you are considering what to do.. but 8k is not much at all... Diversify! Diversify! Diversify! Diversify! Diversify! Diversify! Good Luck
Certificate of deposits are good. I don't seem to trust online accounts though. Some might be scams. Who knows?
quietly keep the money safe and enjoy it This satisfaction of having that much money will make you feel strong.
I have said this several times here... I think sales websites are the way to go. They take some money to get moving, but once moving they do not require the work that web hosting, web development, or content websites/blogs do. My only advice would be to not put all your cash into one website. Keep in mind almost all websites fail miserably. Perhaps buy a few already established sales websites as you see them become available.
