I'm currently in the process of trying to earn money online i have a few options i could take but not sure which to do.

1. Proxy Network
I currently have 4 proxies. My plan is to add another 16 proxies so i have a 20 proxy network. The disadvantages to this i feel is the fact that you dont really earn money on weekends/school holidays. Also i may risk getting my adsense account suspended as google dont exactly like proxies.

2. Buying 20 websites which have low revenue
I could buy 20 websites separately which are earning around 50 cents daily meaning i could be earning around $10/day.

3. Buy 1 website high earning website
I would spend around $200/$300 on a website and hopfully get the money back within 3 months?

Which option would you go for? 1,2 or 3?

Thanks.

Are you based in the US?

i would go for option 3, only for the reason that 2/300 dollah is not a lot of money to lay out and would be much less hassle than the other two options.

why have 10 sites making the same money 1 site could make
 
Im not from the US, sorry. It just seems natural as i spend a lot of time on US forums.
 
Lol even though you lot were against all of it i started a proxy network and im now on £5-8/day without promotion... :rolleyes:

Thanks anyway.

I know nothing about this kind of stuff so feel free to put me right if i'm off the mark, but you have up to 20 servers running and they are collectively earning up to 8 quid a day?

Just a back of a fag packet calculation here, if you have 20 servers, each one is using around 150W, is on 24h a day and electricity is 10p/kWh, they will use
20*150 = 3kW
3*24 = 72kWh
72*0.10 = £7.20
so if that's true then you are making about 80p profit on a good day and a loss of £2.20 on a bad day. I don't know the exact price per kWh or the exact power usage of each server either so it could be even worse :confused:
 
He probably has the proxies running on low cost VPS... something like a few pounds a month. ;)

I'd go for option 2, buy a large amount of low earning websites - work on them. If they are somewhat related link them, work on SEO and build them up into earning more. Write articles, guides, comment on related news items etc. :)
