How would you invest a six figure sum? (12)
Once you have stacked the money - how do you invest it?
Obviously a good mixture is best, maybe in property, shares, P2P lending?
Love to hear the thoughts of some big players here.
If you're interested in the stock market, here's a starting point: index funds and investment strategies.

only invest in things you 100% understand and make a good tradeoff between risk & return.
if you have made that money in affiliate marketing - by being an affiliate - nothing is stopping you from doubling, tripling, quadrupling that amount by re-investing it in campaigns. That's probably the safest bet, with the highest payoff.

I'm yet to crack that cookie..
Best investment is (99% time) into your business.
If by six figure sum you mean 100-250k sitting around - don't bother: it's almost certainly not gonna be worth your time. Been there before. What you could do with 250k + is index funds IF you can keep profits tax free, that will generate some EV. If you can afford losing and won't need it anytime soon, that is.
If you're asking for the 5% save, almost no risk strategy I'd highly recommend waiting until you have at least 600k or more and then do a lot of research first. Most Stackers on here seem to agree with that 
Good luck either way!
We're talking over $250k here. I already have property which I rent out, but this only makes a 5% return after fees and tax.
I am currently maxing out my ISA allowance in the UK - which are stocks and shares ISA paying an average of 11% tax free each year.
One option is a self invested pension which I will get an extra 20% added in by the goverment for free. Problem with that is, I won't see anything until I'm 55, but there would be a considerable sum and certainly a retirement in there with fairly good wages.
It's all relative really, I don't have any debts, so literally only need £20k (not dollar) a year to live on. I do think its possible to invest in the right way now to realise almost half of that in yearly income.

cptcrnch has it! 
It's been on the back of my mind all along, but was afraid to say it in case anyway thought I was being wasteful
