    Hello Friends,

    As topic title mentions that I have 20 K and I want to invest it on online business. Which business is best to invest in? I am thinking to start a directory and blog network.

    Other ideas are appreciated keeping in mind that I am looking for 5K monthly after 5-6 months.

    Thanks in advance.

    If I had $20k I'd either 1) buy several pristine servers and host proxy sites on em, making a buttload through adsense/adversal OR
    2) Buy a great deal of established sites with high PR and link them all to a directory with a great domain to create a monster PR.

    Well I can dream can't I? :p

    You don't really even need money to start a directory and blog network.
    Also, 'investing' in advertising can be very risky.
    ~~~~~~~~~~

    Why not put the money somewhere safe (ie. gold, silver) and do the webmaster work yourself?

    Agreed...

    I wouldn't even know where to begin with that much of a primary investment... I'd say stick it into a no-load mutual fund, except for a few hundred bucks... Take that money and buy your domains and hosting... start from there...

    But then again, I don't make much money online, haha... :)

    I would create an "Adsense farm" of websites, but that's just me ;)

    I would create several online membership sites. It would take a few k to get them all running. I ran a resell membership and saw 2k residual after 3 months of launching. I just sold that site, but if I could do it all over again, I would defiantly create 10 of those membership sites. Make sure each membership site has something like hosting to retain your members.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I dont need money to start but for promotion it takes hell lot of money. 25 Directories and 50 Blogs.

    I don't think hosting business can give me that much profit.

    Do you think this business can give me mentioned profit?

    As I already said above that there would be 25 directories and 50 blogs and I am going to promote them to PR6 till next update. What you say?

    Thanks everyone.

    Freelance GD,

    I know for sure it could create that type of income.
    I am currently building 2 more membership sites as we speak because the income is so good. One will be a niche site builder and the other will be a PLR membership site.

    Again, make sure you have something to retain your members and with a few months time you could be up and running and profiting.

    I built Steroidmarketing.com in 46 hours and had it profitable within 48.

    It can be done without a doubt in my mind.

    Let me know if you want to go the membership route, I have a wealth of info.

    Sell something over the Internet like design a software and sell it, open an ebay store and sell most sought items.

    I'd wait for a catchy offer to an established web site in a niche i have interest in.
