What Would You Do With 1,000,000 USD

I'd fund a school to help poor kids in the Philippines. It will help them train for jobs and get them jobs.

Yeah I'd do the same thing, except once they learn how to read and write (in english) I'd make them work for me for pennies an hour writing content for my sites.

2 chicks at the same time. Haha...

Seriously though, thats a lot of money.

I'm not to sure what I'd do with it... but I'd make damn sure I didn't waste it.

Go to sitepoint. Buy every site for sale. Buy a small hosting company. Put all sites on their servers. Hire a few seasoned professionals to go crazy on the sites with optimization, link building, etc. From an investment standpoint those sites are a great deal.

Seriously? Some of those sites are nice, most are just turnkey and crappy sites in oversaturated markets.

Buy a nice house and a car. The rest goes into bank.

I agree. You're better off getting those pros to make excellent sites from scratch.

Using the services or webmasterlabor for a few years now I have to say I am sure he would do this.

I wouldn't want VC money, I'm too much of a DIY person. The joy I get out of learning and creating is more of a motivation than the money that comes from what I do. Money is nice, but if I didn't have bills to pay and there wasen't money to be made... I'd still be making websites.

Interesting

So if someone walked up to you with 1,000,000 and said this is your to use over the next three years ?
We need a few things Biz plan, blah blah
You would say no thank you

 

[seoSean]

I would buy a house and spend some, leaving approximately $200,000 for investing/saving.

hmmm I would have to agree with this train of thought - thought about what I would do with the VC money but nothing came to mind immediately

100 x $10,000 managed forex accounts

1,000,000 = 100 x $10,000 managed forex accounts

What do you think Doug?

Though, you will need to wait one year for the profit?

Blow it all on hookers, drugs, and gambling. Then live homeless. Then write a book about how i used to have the big life. Then get on Oprah. Oprah reccomends it on her book club, and....

Many millions my friend... $_$

sounds like a solid plan to me
