    I have $1000 extra and thinking in investing into some online business. I want to know what are your ideas, what would you do? Where to invest and is it profitable, and how much? What are risks, and is it enough money to get started?

    Thanks, Stamler.

    Shares, not online. Invest while the market is down and you'll make a big return on your money over 1+ years.

    Why not consider buying a website? It could be risky, but the returns could be ok... with anything, you have to take risks. Even shares are risky (to point out the obvious), but with online things, you can influence certain factors to a greater extent

    I was thinking more like investing in something that has monthly revenue. $1000 buck is not much, and i think too little for shares and gold since I have to wait too much for a little sum.

    How about forex?
    Or to start with adwords campaign?

    I would consider a website. I mean, I set up my website with $200 flat and with no other previous experience in being a webmaster, 6 months later, I've come out of it with $250, and I have some big plans to make my earnings skyrocket!

    I would use $300 of it and get godaddy reseller plan, use another $300 in advertsing, use the rest to invest in liquidation lots from liquidations.com and sell it on amazon.com

    I think it will be great to try website flipping. You need to be careful about somethings before purchasing a website , otherwise it is a great thing to do to make some good money. :D

    I would invest them online, $1000 bucks is a good start for site flipping and the return can be very good. However, regardless what you invest in, there is always a risk, though.

    as simple as investing in a property and get a nice return.
    Just a buy a well established site with revenue generation.
    you'll get monthly income and then later on you could sell it again easily.

    I wouldn't risk buying a website. I have friends that jumped into this and without experience didn't do anything, really.

    I've always though investing in websites was such a good option. If I had to start over completely from scratch tomorrow and had $250 to my name I would go with super niche websites and keep reinvesting my profits. I would just keep reinvesting until I got enough websites that sustained my monthly bills. I think you could be making 2k/month within 3 months starting with almost nothing if you had some super basic knowledge of wordpress/dreamweaver and how to affiliate.

    I would have a big party with lots of wild women. Then in the morning I would wake up and think about all the fun I had last night and not have to worry about the investment anymore. But that is just me.
