    Basically plug & play type of deal.
    If you have any sites, please let me know.
    As of right now my max is $500, but next month will be around $2000.

    Or, if you have any ideas.
    Please keep in mind I would only have roughly 30 minutes a day for this.
    So stuff like proxies would be out of the question as they require a ton of promotion.

    Have you ever thought of having an online store which is maintained by a company and dropshipped by them aswell?

    For that amount of money,there not much you can done.
    You are left with the option of buying a establish website then flip it to archive it maximum potential then sell it at high price.Or you can start a blog then blog about anything you like.

    please note that this is constructive criticism
    i think that you are using a completely wrong approach to making money online
    the web is flooded with small businesses. imo the key is creativity but you have to have some sort of skill or know how

    Agree with the last posters here; for that kind or money you cannot just 'buy' something which will deliver you money with 'low hassle'. There are options on the web but they are usually not that 'low hassle'.

    With that amount and a half hr. daily you could definitely start some PPC campaigns. Once you had your landing pages set up and tweaked each campaign until it was profitable you'd have the business model you're looking for.

    You could even pay an expert to help get you going which would lesson your time even further. It could be done.

    Good Luck,
    raycer

    I agree Dr. but some are much less labor intensive then others. Let's compare SEO & article marketing to PPC. Both profitable but marketers that have the PPC "thing" down do a lot less actual grunt work.

    All businesses come with hassels. There is no such thing as a low/no hassel business. You gotta work hard in order to make money. You can't just sit there expecting to put money in and just have money flying back out. If that was possible, then everyone would be rich.

    Yea, y'all are correct.
    I guess I will have to wait until my job slows down a bit where I will have more time.

    But, the PPC I am interested in.
    Is there more information on this where I can read up on it?

    Thank you all for input.

    Earning online requires at least some sort of maintenance once in a while. You could buy some established sites that earns x amount per month they you could update them daily, or at the very least once or twice a week.

    @cajunboy: There are many good places to learn about PPC. First I would recommend PPC Coach. It's well worth the small investment and is geared to the newb with zero PPC knowledge.

    Another GREAT learning tool is "A*dw*ords Sy*ste*m Ex*pos*ed". It's a combination of video's and PDF. Some of the marketers (not gurus :D) that I follow and respect the most recommend this course highly.

    I own the PDF and would not mind sharing it with you. Hit me up with a PM.

    PPC is a great business model. There's a learning curve with it just like any business. There WILL be hassles and obstacles to overcome. There is the risk of loseing money. There will be an investment of both time and money but in the long run I don't think you'll ever find more "bang for your buck"

    Good Luck,
    raycer

    PS: I don't mind shareing with a few but if the response gets to be to much I'll just have to stop. Please understand

    if you use PPC or something like that you can theoretically work 30 minutes a day and have "your sites run themselves".

    BUT.... easy come easy go. there isn't in real life that type of long term thing, not legally anyway.

    even multimillionaires and "gurus" work....

    Yes. Be VERY careful with PPC. There's a learning curve and you will lose some money. I consider this an investment that must be paid in order to get good at it. Once you get it down though you should be consistently profitable.

    Obviously some will learn quicker than others. Some will never get it :D

    Good Luck,
    raycer

    PS: I'm still learning with PPC. Someday I hope to be an expert but that day is not here yet. Please seek professional advice on this subject.

    I would reccomend joining a network marketing company. you can get started for less then $500 easily the pay almost nothing the next few months.

    then you can learn how to market and deal with people thats a pretty low hassle business

    Several free copies left. :D Guys, I'm getting nothing out of sharing this but I gotta say, not many have asked. It's a GREAT resource put together by PPC pro's. I'm talking guys with Masters and PHD's from Stanford whose whole life is PPC.
