I am going to assume you have a total budget allocation of $500 rather than $500 a month, and that you want to use it to create the best possible long term business for yourself.
First, I would buy a 100 TC subscription ($29, generating 1200 VP), 1 S Builder unit ($22 with your standing order discount, plus 280 VP) and 30 TC Gift Cards ($29.70, plus 100 VP for the purchase and an extra 300 VP as you register the details of the cards you distribute). That will cost you $80.70 a month, and gives you 1880 VP each month, guaranteeing your EA status.
Second, I would complete every possible action in the to-do list, as often as they are available, to earn the daily, weekly and monthly action VP, and starting in the second month I would either bid in TC auctions or play games to use up the TCs and get the available VP, or perhaps even building up your TC reserve if you win. If you do this, BTL is attainable even while you are putting your team together, and as the number of EA2s in your team grows, the higher ranks will follow.
Third, I would invest $44.30 a month in paid ads to promote specific TripleClicks products in markets where you see a demand for those particular products. I would also do as much free marketing as I had time for, for your chosen TC products and your SFI gateways.
This brings your total investment to $125 a month, and if you have chosen your marketing outlets wisely you should start to see some cash-flow quite quickly. Your initial goal should be to earn enough to cover your $125 investment by month 4, and start to show a profit after that. That way, you can maintain your $125 per month investment beyond month 4, without ever exceeding your initial $500 allocation.
If you then also reinvest your profits rather than withdrawing them from the business, for as long as you possibly can, the 'snowball effect' will kick in, and you are on your way.
Hope this helps.
