What to do?

I am used to working for cash i.e. i used to be a designer and i have cash saved up and i am completely new to investing. I wanted to know what could i do to use my cash to make to make a nice profit.

Some things i was thinking off and read about , buying and selling domains, this looks solid.

I was thinking of real estate but i don't have enough yet for such an amount.

The stock market and schemes along the lines look good but i don't have a clue how to do and i would like peoples experiences on them.

I was thinking of wholesale but i had a nasty scam that i did get ripped of and only will try that later on. But i could sell them on ebay and so on.

I wanted to know what a complete beginner could do to invest cash and make some profit?

Honestly, invest into something you love. You'll make the most money and you'll have the most fun when you do that.

Here is a good site on stocks, I read articles on it quite a bit.

As I hold no guarantee, here are some good stocks
XOM (Exxon)
ETR (Entergy)
MCD (McDonalds)

Materials such as gold also are good things to invest in.

I highly disagree, invest in companies you believe will have success. Just because you love them doent mean they will do well.

I guess I had a different message in mind. I thought he was talking about making a business, not investing in one XD
