Thread: If you had 1000$ to invest?

If you had spare 1,000$ to invest in your already existing sites, what would you do?

Basically I am looking for some promotional tactics.

Advertise with about $500 and then possibly look into new features and custom developers to design your own system and such for your site

I meant exactly on what promotional methods. Just saying 'advertisement' isn't very descriptive.

- Make Keyword research.. (free)
- Buy 10 domain names.. (100$)
- Get 15 articles on each website (15*3=~50$) (500$)

I will wait for 2 months and once I know which site performs the best, I will get few more content and work on them. (Saving the 400$ for developing the sites..)

I would get T-shirts made ($50-$100 depending on how many shirts you want to buy) with my logo on them and give them away to friends/family/anybody who likes the logo. Walking ads

If your logo is ultra cool you could hire a designer ($150-$200 or maybe cheaper if you're lucky) and have him spiff up your T-shirt design. Then sell it to people.

I would also print some high quality business cards ($50?) and put them in between books in the bookstore related to my niche or client base. The library is good for this too.

I guess the rest would be used to upgrade my business? Buy better software or get a better website system developed.

I would use 100$ on AdWords and put some affiliate products on my site. This way it can generate revenue.

Unless you are a adwords guru you wont be making much profit. In fact you will be in red.

I have to disagree. If you target some health stuff and put a health related product and even have a 1% conversion rate you can earn well.

I think I'd buy a super cool custom design ($100), build a newsletter (Maybe $50 for expert help), advertise on Business.com, entrepreneur.com, and others ($200/month), build 3 ebooks (free, but $200 worth of time) and sell them, buy 2 more domains ($20) and develop them later, buy 20 guest posts ($300), and keep the $130 for myself

Corey and Logan have given some great ideas!

I would even:

- Get an eBook written and give it for free to build my list.
