Where would you invest $100?

    Ok, lets say that you have $100 that you can invest it on anything you like, but you must make it back within the same month. What would it be?

    It doesn't have to be websites, perhaps the stock market (although that isn't a good time during the credit crunch :p).

    Would love to hear everyones ideas :D

    Get a nice wordpress theme - $50
    Get a nice logo - $30
    Get a programmer to make some modifications to template - $20
    Write some content yourself - $0

    = $100

    Keep for 3 months, get some PR, get some traffic.

    Resell for $400.

    $100/month profit.

    Why do you think that the market is so saturated? It takes only $50 or less a month just to start reselling your space.

    I dont think you could offer a viable competing company with $100 investment. Unless you can design pretty well, get a hold of a free billing system. You can setup the accounts yourself but then you'll only be able to offer so many hours a day in support until things pick up.

    I just think you could do a better investment with $100. I'd recommend finding a hot product, finding an affiliate, and putting that $100 toward a website for that product and adwords.

    $100 is enough...

    $15 VPS
    $15 cpanel
    $15 WHMCS
    $0 Forum advertising

    Hopefully you would make a profit and have covered your costs in two months time, then the chances are after two months you can sell the hosts on as well and make even more money.

    Or you could just work for me/any other host on comission :D not really investing though :p

    For me buying PRed domain is the good choice.
    The domain can be resale after optimization meaning increase the website earning.

    Yeh you could look for already established sites making a small profit, then go and increase traffic/proffit and resell.
    If there is already some profit probally means that there is potential to get more :)
    Just make sure you make the site better and not worse, I have got sites before making money but due to having too many projects had to let some slip and then end up been worth nothing!

    Gamble it on Bwin. With a little bit luck you make $ 200 of it.. (or you will loose it all :s )
    Maybe the site buying-reselling thing is better :)
    Greetz!

    Yes there are many financial markets you can access through online brokers and fund with PayPal/NETeller/etc, not only stock markets. As you already mentioned, the stock market is not the best place to put your money in an economic downturn, but you can try the currency market, where something is always moving up in relation to something else (you just have to figure out what). Find yourself a good forex broker on my site, and also read through the articles to get you started. It is quite possible to turn your $100 into $200 within a week (although you would have to expose your $100 to considerable risk).

    I have been trading financial markets for quite a while and can offer some free tips and advice. PM me if you have any questions. Good luck.

    If I had a $100 dollars to invest what I would do is first....

    Signup for a cpa account or some affilate program that pays at least every 2 weeks just look they have lots of legit places HINT check out the search feature you can find good companies that pay even if you have to go into adult affiliate companies

    Next you want to set you up a wordpress blog why??? cause there is tons of beautiful professional themes and plugins that will get your site looking nice with little to no effort

    Once you have your wordpress site up you need to get some content I would work on writing some good content for your site and make it different categories if your can setup a blog with at least 5 different categories

    We want to add at least 10 articles per category if you dont want to write your articles invest in outsourcing the article and do some keyword research very important to making money....

    Ok we going to pick a good cpa offer to promote or affiliate product to promote and our word press blog will have nothing but articles about the product we are promoting

    Now its time to drive traffic we are going to spend the 100 dollars mostly on getting advertment to our site this is the most important thing so you can get traffic and that will convert to sales...

    Some things you can use to get traffic to your site and get real vistors is article marketing everyday submit at least 10 articles to directories you can hire someone to write the articles this can easily bring you in a couple sales if you have a good writer ....

    next you can invest in getting a press release they have people who can do this for you and you can submit your site and get tons of traffic and sales fast you want to invest as much money as you can into traffic and articles that promote your site

    If you just want to make quick money fast you can setup a site like this and flip it for a 100 dollars especially if you have good unique content on your site good luck

    find a traffic program that delivers x hits for $100
    Then spend your month selling x/10 hits for $20 each

    You could also buy a $100 Money Magnet Widget you make you money back after only 2 sales. after that it's pure profit! PM me if you want one.:)

    Better invest on the design and content. Remember that content is the king
    If there are some extra, the use it on SEO

    I personally will love to buy some articles at freelance sites using $100. But stock markets are also good idea. I have invested few hundred dollars in Karachi Stock Market and I do trading some times.

    You should consider investing in the stocks.

    Something simple. Buying something undervalued at a market/auction/online - and selling it online to an audience that values it, e.g. on Ebay.

    Best of luck
