I&#8217;m terrible at spending money, which is good most of the time, but bad when I should be investing more money into my business. This is a pretty tough question for me to answer.<\/p>\n<p>If only I could say &#8220;buy more time&#8221; and be done with it! But it&#8217;s really not that simple.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d probably put the bulk of it to marketing. A part of it to this site because I love this site, but also for some of my other sites that have had less of my attention but have good chances to make money.<\/p>\n<p>One of the strategies I&#8217;ve considered is putting up flyers at local colleges. The ability to work at home is great for college students, and I wouldn&#8217;t mind getting a little more attention from that area.<\/p>\n<p>Another possibility would be to use it to get a great prize for a giveaway, such as an iPod or similar item. Something that might generate attention on its own as people tell their friends about it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d probably also hire someone for some blog topic research. Probably not writing the posts, just getting some of the research out of the way. I like writing my own stuff and I think I&#8217;d be too prone to rewriting the whole thing if I hired a ghostwriter for my posts.<\/p>\n<p>All that could easily use up $1000. How much to each part would depend on what seemed to be working. I wouldn&#8217;t suggest throwing money at something that hasn&#8217;t been tested on a smaller budget first for the marketing stuff, and hiring help always includes a search for just the right person, and that can cost money too in paying those who just don&#8217;t quite work out.<\/p>\n<p>Your turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How would you spend it?
