    Hi there,

    I got $152.00 USD in my paypal, it's a hard earned money, i've posted almost 1000 forum posts for that..firstly, i just wanted the money for the sake of having something in my pocket..but, i soon realize that i can make this amount of money to reproduce providing with a right investment..(blame all the success story i've read)..so, i decided to hire someone to build me a website, a website with love as its niche..then, i'll hire someone to rewrite my articles, monetize it with adsense,or clickbank or etc..( i've to read some more on this adsense thingy)..well roughly, that's just it, the so called "PLAN" i've got in mind..

    so, in a few days, i will buy my first website, and carry on with my plan, and before i do that, i would like some advices or any last words from my fellow DP members regarding this matter..am i missing something??

    Any kind of reply will be deeply appreciated,

    Thanks,

    Glen_Cloud

    I think that's very low budget to create a website from scratches and optimize it, I think better you should buy a ready site/blog and monetize it. Check buy and sell section at this forums for site for sell.

    if you want to limit your expenditure, can i suggest you to buy a domain instead?

    i think you can buy 3-4 valid PR3 domain and optimize them by yourself (i needs a little hard work, but the gain is promising). and sell links from those site or joining Paid Post Review program.

    in my experience this method usually give us $250-$1000 a month by using 4-5 valid PR3 domain.

    hope this helps :)

    How much are you buying the site for? A bit more information would be great.

    Buying existing sites is a sucker's game.

    There's a wealth of info on the net maybe too much about helping your website, it probably won't need 152$ investment, why not invest 100$ of that in something else?

    actually i'm not completely just buying a website, like when you buy groceries..
    not like that..

    I've came across this fellow the other day, and he provide the service of building us a website, what i need to do is providing him with my preferred niche..then he will build a website based on my niche, i've negotiated the price at $60...so, in other words, i will hire him to build me a website.. I don't have the ability to do it myself.. so, i think it's a wise decision

    I hope you're gonna invest some of your own money besides the $152 on this site if you wanna be successful :) You should buy an e-book or check a book out from the library about gaining traffic and earning money from your website to start you off.

    You need to research thoroughly about the viability of the niche you chose.
    And the most important thing is,check out the portfolio of the worker you hire to determine their work quality.

    I would be concerned with the quality of the site if you are buying it for only $60. It's probably not very well SEO optimized and it could be a shit investment. Take the time to learn with all the free resources on the net and use that $152 more wisely.

    That's my 2 cents..

    This helped me with TE as well as my other MLM endeavors ...


    pretty much it has everything you need in one bundle... for 10 bucks... all your hosting, lead generation, banners, email blasts, etc... stuff that would cost you hundreds per month in trying to promote your MLM...

    why is everyone saying $152 isnt enough? all you need is $8 for a domain, couple of bucks for hosting, then the rest u can spend on a design and content. then once you have it promote it and you will make money.
