If You Had $50 to Build Some Websites, What Would You Do?

    I have decided to take $50 and start a few websites. I can do the work myself, I just need some advice on what pays the best the fastest (I know if I don't see results in a couple months, I'll give up). So basically, the money would be for purchasing domains and hosting. Can you all tell me how it would be best spent?

    If it helps any, I have a pretty good understanding of affiliate marketing, blogs, seo, etc. I just don't know where to start or if I should even go in that direction.

    Thanks,
    Jackie

    I think you should check out Spyfu for the top paying terms at the moment. I think that will point you a direction if you really want the highest pay and etc.

    If you want more money and have passion for it then go for affiliate.
    First is setting up a site,then put more related content into it.
    Join some related affiliate site.
    Put the link at your site.
    Promote your site using numerous way such as adword

    Dropshipping is good. You can spend all the $50 on domain, hosting and nice website, as you only pay for the product once you recieve orders for it. If you need cheap hosting while you start off I can give you some space on my reseller acct - $10 for a year. PM if interested :D

    Back when I flip websites, I use to take $50 and buy a domain and hosting. Build the website, add adbrite banners, and do a ton of promotion for about 3-4 weeks and sell it for $100 minimum.

    Things were great back then. Maybe I should start flipping websites again.

    Find a hot niche, make a website, put ads on it, advertise it on other sites (forums, etc), then either sell it or keep the profit.

    Its not being a big deal to buy a couple of sites but the important thing is that you should maintain the quality of traffic , that in return will give good money to you.

    If your going to start a site make it about a topic you are familiar with that way the development of the site will be quite easy.

    $50 is not much :(. I would try and make one really good one instead of a bunch of small and useless ones, unless you use that $50 to purchase a WYSIWYG editor, which can really help out with the design of your site :).

    I think you should find a niche and just start writing. As stated above make sure that it is easy for you to write about. $50 might get you hosting and a domain name. Not really all that much money. Good luck to you:)
