    I'd buy a big mac extra value meal (biggie sized of course - I have $10 afterall) and figure out how to get more than $10. :)

    I would register a dozen of good info domain names at RegisterFly during the next promotion (75 cents each, saving $1 dollar x 12)

    I would park them while developing websites accordingly.

    Domain parking is a good money maker when you have the right sponsor and right names, increasing your earnings when you do some promotion.

    HAHA, nope I bought a domain name, learned php as I went along. Started by promoting the site to friends and people I knew. Then 6 months later I sold the site for 8k and from then on I've been locked into this business.

    + I'm only 20 so I couldn't blow the 10$ on beer or I probably would have

    Ok well he's not asking what to do to make money, he's asking what he can do with $10 to make money. In that case there is nothing you can really do except buy a domain name and learn bind, php, bash, mysql, xhtml/css, and some basic promotion techniques.

    I'd buy some coke or energy drink...stay up at night, read various marketing techniques, get to understand them, setup a blog (or do other services) to create some startup money...and put that money to buy domains, hosting etc...

    Hire and Hypnotize someone to create a traffic exchange script (as good as Walker's) for $3 or less, buy a domain name under $2 at Godaddy and create your own server. Finally use your last $5 on EasyMarketer's idea. Use keywords traffic exchange, link exchange, banner exchange, paid to read, paid to click including EasyMarketer's PPC arbitrage idea

    Buy some medicine which can make you stronger, so you can work all the time on those free marketing options.

    I never heard $10 can buy any payment service.

    you need atleast $100 to get something started.

    hosting, domain, small adverting, your own advertising,

    I recently spent $50 on 2 blogs including 4 letter domain .com's, advertising and other things, one of the blogs alone has paid of the $50 from revenue in the past 2 months
