how to invest $10,000

Its good to see the replies .... and so much they reflect on the age of the person no pun intended.... the more aged the person ..the more inclined to save...

10K$ is 10K$ today - a walnut... tomorrow its a peanut even if u add interest etc.etc.etc.

since u are here and i also face same situation sometimes when i have some extra cash coming out from old shares... i will tell u what i do.. not what u should do

also..i do have the habit of blowing out money.. if it lies idle..but don't be scared... it always comes back... (unless you blow it down some dark alley
that's the universal law... there cannot be any empty space.... so even if u try to hold it for long it will go... bottom line.. the more you spend the more you earn

last time i had a few extra bucks i bought a few domain names around 1000 of them when dot mobi was launched !

Domain names are like real estate.. the tld's are countries and the names are the citites .. some glamorous like 3 digit, 4 digit and generic... some classy... but they yield definite money in the long run... also u can always put up a script..do some seo add ppc and ... stay busy with your existing job..... and when the time comes.. collect your eggs !

of course there are explorers and dreamers and billionaires who can just about turn a dessert into a sprawling city... but maybe you will need either a crude oil mine like the arabs or a strong imagination like larry and sergei !

dot mobi is like .com or .net or .org... not country specific but future specific.. and is getting hotter everyday with google and other entities endorsing them...just need to wait the flirting stage...as mobile gets married to pc and the process becomes complete... just a matter of time.. 1-2 years...

good luck

 

So you would turn 10k into 1 million in a year, but you have spent 6 years on net business and you dont have 10k? mmmm

 

Good luck with your .mobi domains, I don’t know if that’s where I would invest my money but I hope things work out for you.

 

Investing like this sounds like a great way to turn $10k into $10.

Put the money in a cash ISA with one of the top banks in the UK and you can't go wrong.

 

I would definitely agree with you on that, especially because it’s mobi domain….

 

You can buy an existing website or 2, or even develop 1 or 2.
Buy a couple of blue chip stocks.
Buy realstate.
If you are ready to start business, do so.
Forget poker or any get rich schemes.

 

The OP didn't once mention knowing anything about making money online so why is everyone suggesting he buys a website? Buying a site when you don't know anything about it is a quick way to lose all your money.

 

I have a son to take care of, and I don't come from a rich family. When I make $1000, I can't re-invest it in business, I have to feed my son, put clothes on him, buy pull ups for him, Bob the builder toys and movies, furniture, and he also has to see 2 different pediatric specialists from time to time. Try being a little more optimistic, there are a lot of people who can easily generate that kind of ROI, I'm one of them. If I had $10,000 set aside for it, then I'd be laughing, but as a single parent you get stuck with a catch 22 situation. Do I listen to my son whine and feel like crap for not putting his needs first but instead investing it? Sure, it might be better in the long run, but in the short term if I'm seen skimping on his needs, then my ex will get sole custody and I will barely ever see my son again. No thanks. I'm a father first.

I have over 6 years of internet business experience. I have not spent 6 years working for myself building things up. When you have an hourly wage, or you are bound by employment terms, it's really hard to make millions...

 

Then you should be able to turn $100 into $10k in a year and the next year you would have your million.

 

you can invest them in a live web cam application that we sell

 

I guess you didn't read my posts... If i had $100 I would have to spend it on my son. Family court and pediatric specialists are not cheap, not to mention the regular costs involved in raising a child.

Thanks for the 'tip' though.... ;-) lol

 

Now there's an idea!

ROFL

 

ofcourse those sites make tons of money

 

Well, if you are willing to risk a bit of it, you can try this.

http://www.prosper.com/

It is supposed to be set up by the people of lendingtree.com. I do not personally do it yet, but it looks very interesting. The basic premise is that you take on small parts of a person-to-person loan. The interest is better than most standard accounts, and most of them have little risk. If the person skips out though, you're stuck with the part you accepted. Just a thought though. It sounded like you wanted something a little different and honest. You could also invest in a few online HYIPs, but I assume that's not what you're looking for.

 

I can respect that, but then your statement that you can turn that money into a million is just talk, and talk is cheap.

I have total respect for taking care of your son and family first.

If you are really confident in your abilities, you should be able to get a small business loan or an investor. It seems like you should be taking care of yourself, rather than telling other people how easy it is to make money.

Good luck.

 

I started out my online business investing $10K the first month in paid clicks about 2 years ago and will be netting my first million by next spring. But I had a partner to help and it took a lot of work too!

 

I never said to anyone 'how easy it is to make money' - merely that I know how to. It's hard work, and there is no such thing as easy money.

I can't get a loan around here - banks don't consider self employment a source of income unless you have tax returns to back it up. I haven't done my taxes for last year yet, had problems with previous employers not doing their paperwork and my T4's are not all there... I'm talking with several possible investors now and will soon have the funding I need and help make lots of people good money. I was just offering that opportunity to somebody who was looking for something to do with their money.

Cheers!

P.S. It's not really just talk when you've multiplied the money through your efforts before...

 

You can also try the CPA market. There are some companies out there that will work with you on a CPA basis, where they promise you X as your CPA on a certain product. You pay a nice graphic designer to make a very good landing page, and go for it. You can start in this market with about 2,500$ I started with adtegrity, and they worked very nice for my first buy. I mad 2900$ back in less then a week.

After that I got on the RMX exchange and have been working it ever since.

 

website:
look for a good opportunity and buy one existing website or either start your own.
look to spend all on one or at the max 2 sites, no need to have a bunch of websites which you cant manage.

Paid Web Directory
A directory is good option with budget this sort of budget. you can buy some existing pr5-6 directories convert to pr7 and earn life long frm links, ensure you reinvest the money to maintain the directory strength.

IPO
Stock market ipo is great option to ensure good returns, recently nymex ipo did well

Marketing company
You can start with small web marketing company for clients around your area

Other opportunities
You can seek for more opportunities online to fund existing projects with decent growth stories, this can help you get more returns depending on sector and capablity of the project
