$500 isn't enough to do anything with a TGP.. You either have to use free scripts and spend the money on traffic, or buy the scripts and have no money for traffic. Regardless $500 isn't enough to buy much traffic to grow it to any decent size. Much less deal with hosting.

I say build 10 to 20 blogs and work on a schedule so they are updated every three days. If you build 10 then split them into 2 niches if you build 20 split them into 4 niches. Add a free trade script to each and trade clicked traffic with your own blogs via toplists.

Then build a old school toplist for each group of niche blogs or just do a multi-category top list site or two and trade by niche. You can then use the top lists to trade traffic out side your network to filter it back to your blogs, so it works as a hub site. (maybe use $100 for feeder to the toplist but if you do make sure you have trades set up that can send back good traffic)

Then take the rest of the money left over from buying hosting/domains to buy some PPC traffic sending it directly to sponsors. Just keep tossing the money earned back at the PPC and keep updating the blogs and reinvest everything back into the PPC campaigns.

Lets the blogs build their traffic as it comes in, just keep updating them and the traffic will come. You will be earning more money this way than trying to start a TGP with only $500.
