I had tried several investments and advertising such as noobing. They turn out that they are totally scam. I had lost money with them. Many naive people get involved with them, too. I am not fan of affiliate such as referrals now because of scams.
What I don't understand one thing is noobing is all legal and have 1099 and everything was fine. Suddenly, noobing website was shut down and noobing's assets were frozen because the owner is a scammer. I felt a fool that I had spend 1,000 dollars in there. I learned and moved on.
I had tried another scam investment. I spend another $1,000 dollars in there. I thought the investment was all legal, too. It was forex trading plus the investment was set up by austism deaf guy. Now he got busted and got in jail plus lawsuit.
I had joined few more pyramid that was proven that it was real, but it was really a scheme to pull new people in.
I feel that all investments offered are all scam except stock trading. I quit trying them now because I realized that they are totally worthless.
I decided do different way to make money is making videos and writing articles in blogs with advertising. It works better. I do not have to spend a cent on blogging except buying a domain and webhosting. I like use wordpress because it's flexibility. I had set up a website called Visual Vlogs sign language videos. I had running on that website and made small money but it is a beginning. Also, I set up another website called Bloggers' Art. It is for art collectors and artists to share artwork and discuss about art. They are easier to manage and more fun.
Do you have any experience with tried and fail with investments and went other way to make yourself success. It can be about blogging, setting a store with unique products, auctions such as ebid or eBay, and other kind that help you success.

Hi! I am new to investing and I was currently working on a 1$ investment program. I have receive already the e-mail message that they have approved my application and all I have to do is to verify it by replying to that e-mail which I already did this day. I haven't receive a reply yet but I'm hoping to get verified tommorow. If you are interested, it's in "learn2earn's" profile, he owns it and I know I can trust him. Try it, there's no waste, it's only a dollar! Happy myLotting!

Is it proven legally? Like I wrote that noobing was all legal, yet it was a scam. What is it really about?

Well I did thorough research and there were no reports. That was a major problem with some investments.

I did research about them, but there are lack of information out there. What should I do research if information about programs is not enough.
