Best site to make with $200 and some time to kill?
Hello evryone!,
I saved up some money from mowing lawns, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a site that makes money. I have about $200, and some time. I dont mind doing alot of work. I just want something that might break even and keep me occupied. I was thinking of something like creating a site and selling adspace or buying a deticated server and reselling hosting. I am pretty good at php, html and mysql, and am good at programming, mainly c++. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please post!! Or PM me or email me at [email protected], thanx!!!! Any comments appreciated!!!!
THANX!!!
-Chris

Hi Chris,
Well I hate to sound like a typical Internet marketer, but there
really is no such thing as a turnkey money making solution to
your problem..
Web hosting is a very difficult business to get into, and actually
make any money at. It will most likely take every penny of that
$200 to pay for just one months worth of services for your own
dedicated host.
If you want to try hosting, I'd suggest using a reseller account
to begin with, and selling hosting to your friends to start. Save
yourself some money, and learn the over-all process first. Web
hosting can be real customer support nightmare if you're not
ready for it.
If you're good with programming, I would suggest finding a niche
that needs filling, and building a small business website around
that. You could create programs and software that people are
looking for, and it would save you that $200, and maybe even
make you some money...

You need to be creative. Don't copy anyone else's ideas. You won't make any money that way. Find some type of small market that hasn't been filled. Do a seach on Overture PPC performance tool. Find a phrase that gets about 2000 searches a month. That's where you have the chance of making a successful site.
