    I would buy a domain ($10) and outsource 10 good quality articles ($50) and build a nice content site. Then I would promote the site as much as I possibly could and then spend the money I made from that site making more similar websites building my VRE empire.

    I wouldn't spend all of the money unless I was really going to be investing in a business that I knew was going to be very profitable.

    1. Domain
    2. Decent Hosting
    3. Quality Articles
    4. Use Viral Marketing (If the articles are good why should I pay to advertise?)
    5. Submit to Premium Directories

    But then again this all differs depending on what sort of website you are trying to make. If its a social network you'd have to take it with a different angle.

    If I had something big to promote, i'd get a press release on some popular blogs relating to my niche & possible paid reviews and CPC advertising.

    Buy an expired domain with PR5 and lots of backlinks and go from there.
    Will cost $200-$300 dollars...
    You can resell links etc after that....

    That's good capital for any project you want to get started. I'd use it as experimental cash for some PPC campaign ideas I have.

    I would pay a Flash developer to make me a series of 2 or 3 funny flash animations 3-5 minutes long each that are about a kingdom of gamers (My site is kingdom arcade) and have them export it into video and flash so I could distribute them as much as possible.

    Considering that my Rate of Return is positive: Yes.

    Think about it. You can invest your $2,000 in a savings account that yields 5.5%. You can invest your $2,000 in a stock that yields you %12. Investing in a PPC campaign that yields %23 is no different.

    I would buy a website which has intense traffic. No matter what the content is. If you have the visitors, you have everything.
