I have $200 but what can I do...

    I have exactly $200 left to spend to invest on various web material online. I haven't managed to create for myself anything reliable and I'm clueless as to where to go to earn a steady profit of at least $10/day (just a small amount).

    What can I do with my $200 PayPal. Help anyone? I really don't want to throw any more money away!

    You can't really earn a steady $10 with $200. What you should do is get a domain and some hosting and create sites then sell them, and as you profit you'll get to $1000+, then you can pay someone to create a functional and useful website that can generate ad revenue (stable $10/day is significant ad revenue for small websites). I'm a web designer and developer, I could help you out.

    Its impossible to earn $10/day from $200 capital.
    If you want to earn $10/day from $200,the only way is do some day trading forex.

    Well in my opinion i think you can make more than 10$ a month with your 200$ but first you need to organize your ideas and determine your main goal which can't be making money, strange isn't it ?

    1) If you're willing to start online business you need to know what you really interested in, the moment you figures that out you simply achieved 50% of your final goal which is making more than 10$ a month.

    2) Lets say for example that you picked graphics designing which is the best online money making career in my opinion but this won't be enough since there's already a lot of famous graphic designers and no one knows you yet.

    3) In this point you should consider getting your paypal account ready to buy a unique domain name for at least 2 years from a decent domain provider, i already have a URL for you but i won't post it here.

    NOTE: Even before going to any domain provider you need to pick a name and this isn't an easy task.

    A) Your name must be very unique like facebook or youtube and if you think that those two names have a meaning then think again, just be creative !

    B) Your name must be super-friendly and easy to remember since we need every single hit we can get because hits equals money in online business.

    Once you got those two elements combined perfectly you'll get your unique name and if you found it taken then you failed achieving the first element and you should probably try again till you succeed, after picking your name gather trusted people you know and ask for their opinion, if you got 80% acceptance then go and buy the name for 2 years otherwise you failed achieving the second element and you should probably try again till you succeed.

    SERIOUS NOTE: Never ask un-trusted people for their opinion on your name otherwise they may steal it, i faced a similar situation before and it was ugly !

    4) Now you bought a money making name and spent 16$ or less from your budget but again this isn't enough, you still need cheap, reliable, professional hosting provider with 24/7 support and big database of happy customers and again i have a URL for you but i won't post it here.

    NOTE: You should start with a shared hosting plan and when the profits flows you'll find yourself automatically upgrading, don't stress yourself with un-needed expenses in the beginning !

    5) Now you spent 16$ for a unique name and 75$ for 1 year of professional hosting and yet it's not enough, you still need to find a super SEO system for your website and i highly recommend wordpress.

    6) Find someone to make you a very unique wordpress theme to attract your visitors attention and don't forget to blend the good design with interesting features to attract even more visitors.

    7) Now you spent 16$ for a unique name, 75$ for 1 year of professional hosting and around 70$ for a unique theme but again it's not enough, remember when i told you to find what you really interested in, well i said that for a reason [if you love something and really interested in you'll do unique stuff that no one did before since you love it right ? that's when everyone come running to you] so uniqueness leads to success and success leads to money and in this point you should start giving 100% percent on your new blog and totally forget making money otherwise you'll fail !

    8) Love what you do and do what you love, treat your members with respect, ask them for their opinion and do what they want because those members are your future customers, start rocking and bring new ideas to your blog that's when hits start to grow.

    9) In this point you should get your paypal account ready for the SEO expert, ask him to optimize your blog and help you placing google ads in the neat places and you know what he'll be happy with your last 39$.

    10) Launch a new unique service on your blog related to your business and remember to make something no one did before, make it free till you find everyone can't stop using it then go for premium.

    Finally with your unique service + google ads you can make money more than you can imagine but the most important thing is following your passion and if you thought web mastering is an easy job then think again, you must work very hard to achieve your goal and for you thecreativ i think that your suggestion is too lame, sorry it's not personal but ask someone to make him a site then sell it, common !

    I really wanted to offer my help as i can manage every step i mentioned but our team don't have time for individuals as we have a very busy agenda with governments, institutions of higher education and major corporations, feel free to PM me for the URLS and maybe some ideas if you want.

    Regards,
    Canadian Spike

    You can get yourself a nice domain. Then you can make a website/blog on the topic of your interest. Then you can use the left money to hire a writer who can write lot of useful content for your blog/website. You can also write content yourself as the topic is of your interest.

    definitely not adwords. $200 is not even enough for testing your keywords.

    Try to search for a really useful ebook/tutorial that will help you to generate money online. MAke sure it's not a rubbish product.

    And then you buy it and follow the what the tutorial said.

    you should just start it without any investment. after you knew something that might work, then you can put few money on it at a time, but NEVER put ALL the money in one time. I'm telling my experiences.

    @ Canadian Spike - Wow, thanks for such an incredibly detailed answer.
    @Saiful-rez - I've been thinking about making an eBook, but first they take time and I've got nothing to offer.
    @tradeya - I agree. Investing it all in one place would be a bad idea.

    I've been thinking about website flipping. Anyone done this?

    Spend partial on domain name and hosting. After that, use some of them to get some quality content and some use for EO
