    So i got a 5k$ bonus at work, and i thought i should use 1000USD for something online.

    So far the only idea i have is get someone to make me a website and than promote it myself since i worked with online marketing a lot in my past.

    Are there any other good tips?

    I would build a website myself using WordPress and use the $1000 to buy PPC ads (e.g. Google, Facebook) to get people to my site to a specific page on the site that HIGHLY encouraged them to opt-in to my newsletter :)

    Here's some solid advice: Spend it as slow as you can. Even when you have disposable income to throw at some new venture you can learn a lot more by stretching it out as much as possible.

    Good luck!

    You should forget you have the money and learn the very basics first. Then you can spend.
