If someone gave you ...

If someone gave you $1000 that you had to spend on your business, what would you do with the money?

Hmm, probably buy some content, a couple scripts I've been eyeballing and put 400 or so onto some computer upgrades.

Speaking of computer upgrades ... holy shit, have PC priced dropped. I couldn't believe how much they're selling my computer for now. I bought it less than a year ago and it's $500 cheaper than I paid for it.

there's a model i can get for $500 for an hour that i've been putting off. i'd shoot him, another model who charges $250 for an hour - with studio time, that would be $850 and i'd spend the rest of traffic.

Prices are definately way down, especially for anything that hasn't popped over to the dual core stuff yet. Even some of those systems were reasonable compared to what they'd of cost a year ago. And yet the ones that are prebuilt usually don't have the pieces parts I want and I end up building (or rebuilding) my own systems.

I'd spend the whole thing on advertising my phone sex lines in alternative weeklies. I'm actually waiting on a commission check from my first real estate sale so I can do that very thing.

You know, I was going to say I'd spend it on advertising. But thinking about it; I'd be very tempted to buy a ticket to Internext.

I would put it all into content.

I'd upgrade to a dual core processor. I'm sure that would use up all the money!

Advertising/traffic most likely. I want to try some sources I've never had the guts to try before.

You can do a new Abit AB9 motherboard, Intel dual core processor, 1 gig of DDR2-800 ram, 500 watt power box and GEForce 512mb PCI Express slot video card for about 600$ retail. Probably shave 100 or so off that if you're good at bidding on ebay.

I'd use it to hire a webmaster and buy some sweet graphics to make the site to sell my stories I've been wanting so bad.

now $10,000.00 is alittle more "workable" , there's not much you can do with $1000.00 these days.
so i would immediately report it to the I.R.S as an income (there's only so much you can write-off a year as gifts and i save that for services/items i can't seem to locate a reciept for) then i would deduct for state taxes , and the remainder i would give to "meals on wheels" or an "aids hospice" in the area (aids research is nice but there are people which could use the help now!)

I had one a few year ago, but I'd rather not talk about what happened with that. I did love the name.

$1000? Content.

$10000? PRobably the nice Panasonic HVX-200 HD camcorder (the only one, last I checked, that's *truly* 1080 HD)
