$3k to $5k to start a business, any ideas?

Hello,

I am willing to invest $3000 to $5000 in an online business, let's say a website that offers some service.

$300 to $500 monthly profit would be enough as a start, i want it to be a long term website, so i will reinvest in it/ expand it in the future, to make it generate $5000+ monhtly in a couple of years.

Any business ideas?

Thanks

 

Do you want to invest for a portion of the company? Or do you just want a set percentage of revenue? What kind of investment do you want?

 

buy existing website with strong traffic stats and ad revenue, you could get a site generating $200+ a month with that investment maybe more

 

Stock Investment

 

Get a website with some traffic and sales already. Then grow from there

 

From $5000,its hard to make $500/month profit.
You need at least $50000 to make $500/month profit.
If you don't have any business idea,i would suggest you invest this in stock market.

 

i think 3k-5k is enough to start a great website which can make u the amount u mentioned, try making a site on the membership model... i mean monthly or yearly subscription.... and offer some social networks related service, really hot....keep evolving it

i dont understand the first part of your question, please clarify

i want to invest in any kind of legal business, as long as it has the ability to keep evolving until at some day, may be 5+ years from now it because a dcent website that generates very good revenue and has lots of loyal visitors.

good idea, but kinda risky, you can get scamed and buy useless website for big money.

stock markets are not for everyone

good idea, but kinda risky, you can get scamed and buy useless website for big money.

i don't think it is that hard to generate $500 per month, if you are offering some service for $10 per month and succeded in geting only 50 members, you reached the goal already

could you please tell me some services idea?

 

with a budget of 5,000 it should NOT be too hard to generate $500per/month despite what others tell you.
-likes others said, find a existing website with existing revenue streams. try flippa.com

-find a product that have a high profit margin. for instance sell a product that costs $200 for $800. sell a service for $1000 that costs you $100

-Become a investor owner, and let someone else figure out what to do. this option can and usually is high risk.

best of luck

 

check out flippa.com and buy a site with lots of traffic and a high alexa rank. or do what mentos said and invest in the stock market.

 

i will keep checking flippa.com for suitable websites, thanks for the help

about stock market, it looks like trading the stock market is more common than i thought in the small investors community, but the question is, is it that easy? how do you make your trading decisions?

 

You can get a few websites making a bit of revenue and repeat the process

 

do you mean get many small websites making small revenues so when they add up they become big revenue?

 

I think we should start a business from something small, with hard work and patience, little by little will grow our business and we will begin to receive greater benefits from our business

 

that what i want to do exactly , with "small" defined as $300 to $500 per month, and "greater benifits" defined as 10+k per month, after 5 years or so of investements.

 

I dont think so..
For 50,000$ , I can easily make it happen to 10,000 $ / month . EASILY!

 

You should open a few different GPT sites like Pay To Click sites,Paid To Signup and sites like that.With the rest of the money you can resell products,just find a cheap drop shipping site and list the items on E-bay.It's easy,you are paying for the product to the drop shipping site only after you get paid at E-bay so you can't lose and you never have to even touch the product.

 

i agree

could you please explain more then ebay idea?

 

I would invest hte moeny to the stock market, the return you are asking for is unrealistic. Just because you invest does not mean it will make your desired revenue.

 

If only it could be as simple as throwing around a couple of ideas. What you need is a strategy but looking at it, you don't seem to have any at the moment. Furthermore 10% profit return is too ambitious and if you are expecting a return in a short amount of time, that's close to impossible especially when it comes to online business. Your best bet should be businesses involving trading, ebay or dropshipping.
