The "surest" way to not lose that money would be to invest it on what pays for
your EFFORT: marketing.
Invest as little as you can on WHAT to market, then go and invest on the marketing.
Like Doctor Dre said:
Gallery spots & SE's to begin with..
IF you're able to put some of the dough on SOMETHING of your own to market,
do so and then invest cleverly on marketing.
If you know a LOT of webmasters who are willing to help you out, throw up a
micro-niche paysite under CCBill and let your pals promote it heavily.
Cheers!
