    y u no do it?

    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

What would you do if you had $500 in excess?

    Hi,

    I just want to know how would you maximize $500 to gain more profit. I know $500 is not much. But do you guys have any ideas what $500 can bring to the table?

    As you said, $500 is not much.

    I doubt they will make much of a difference, but you could make money with them if you:

    - Buy a new software application from a freelancing website (like a Facebook friend adder bot) and then sell it
    - Invest in some profitable banner ads and other partnerships

    The problem is, money is only buying time. The $500 would only buy the work you would do, for like 10-20 hours max. So I think you should enjoy the cash and buy yourself something :D

    I hope we shouldn't be seeing such posts too often. Try to be more constructive and stop trying to spam.

    I would suggest you start up with webhosting biz.
    Buy a small server then resell the space to earn more.
    Spent some money at CPM ads.

    Then you are prepared to lose your $500, better to burn it in front of your own eyes. At least you would get more pleasure.

    All depends on what you do.... if your running a webstore then you could pay for PPC advertising, get onto an Affiliate network, pay for some SEO work, buy new/ more stock etc etc etc

    Just for a different idea, you could purchase a website that is already making money and improve it so it makes more money. This way you are starting to get your initial investment back right away. Then you could keep it, or sell it later.

    Isn't this a rather vague question? An extra $500 to spend? Hmmm, let's see.....go load up your Starbucks pre-paid Gold Card! Get a really good detail done to your car? Take the wife out for a nice dinner, movie, and ditch the kids-go to a moderate hotel to ramp up the romance in your marraige? Or, just go to to my paypal link right here and I'll give you great internet marketing advice...just kidding! Better save that $500 in a safe place (like a bank, hahahaha) maybe a credit union, and when you are sure you really need it for the next piece of your business, there it is! You are the only one who should know where to spend your extra $500, so why ask us?
