There are a lot of programs offered especially for money making online. Most of them required monetarial investment. While it is given that if you engage into business you will invest a considerable amount for you to start with. In line with this, do you invest on online programs?
I'm posting this because I'm thinking of trying one but I have drawbacks. Like giving away your credit card number which might be used by hackers or those kind of people. Considering the fact that we don't know these people who we deal with.
Now, my question: what are your considerations in investing in online programs ? Can you share it here your story of sucess when it comes to this concern ? I would be very glad to hear from you. Thanks.

Well I can honestly say after my 5 years of making money online i don't trust anything I have to invest in. Your right about the credit card thing but there's something about giving someone money I will never meet face to face that bothers me. I have learned there are ways to earn decent money if you have the time to stick with what you learn. I do imagine you can earn from investing but I will never personally do it myself. If you do I wish you all the luck in the world on your ventures.

How then do you manage 5 years of making money online if your not investing anything ? Looking for something decent that we can be earned online is difficult for most of I know of, turns scam.

Well you can always have a look at my blog in my profile but I have been earning for 5 years freelance writing and blogging for 4 different companies. I have tried the investing thing but it always seems to eventually fall through. If your really interested in earning contact me with your list of sites you work and I'll see if I have some different opitions for you.

Well,I have always made a point to not pay out money on something that is supposed to make me money. Unless it is upgrades to a few sites and then it is only because the income is doubled when I do. But first I waited till friends and family did it and seen that it was legit.

A careful consideration should be taken first before coming with a decision of investing. Reliable testimonies from people we know are the best way of conviction to invest.

torchablazed no I dislike taking risks as I have very little money and I should not lose any of it. I once invested a small amount here on line and gare my credit card info and was taken for a ride, the monthly payment was suipposed to be four dollars but suddenly eight nine and ten dollar payments were popping up just for me playing on line lotto so I asked my bank what to do they helped a once, changed my deb it card number and wired the lotto company to refund mymoney also I had some winnings that they had not deposited so I got refund and the winnings and never went back to this online lotto swindel again.My bank Bank of America had clout and threatened to expose them to the authroiotied for illegal swindles. they finally went under.

Hi Torchablazed, I dont invest with money. I invest in term of time.
My main investment is in writing articles and post in various writing sites. At least if a writing site closes down, I can repost the content elsewhere. The only problem I have is in term of plagiarizm issue.
Many bloggers and webmasters copy without giving credits. It is too time consuming to monitor each and every article, and take action to shut down the websites.

I can take risk but not as much as what the others are doing. Just a few months ago I invested a little amount to find out if my idea will work. Eventually, I lost the money I invested and deliberately lost my account too...:(
I did not mind because i was just doing a trial and error and it wasn't much money but that was the first and last . I haven't tried doing it again...

Sometimes I am, but lately I don't think that I will be anymore. I gave a book to my friend, on the sure faith that he would keep it and that he would not lose it, and I was ticked when he lost it and asked me to get him another one. I don't think that I will be getting him another one.

Hi Torchablazed! Be careful in giving away your credit card number. There's a lot of scams online. So, if you have money I suggest you just invest in stocks or mutual funds, go to your bank and ask. It is safer this way cause you will have it all in writing instead of investing online. Why take a risk and loose money. That amount of money small or big can be invested in real stuffs and can grow big. Good luck!
