Rules of Online Investment

Tweet

I have this posted in my blog a few days ago but I'd like to share it here as well for those who are into online investments like me or a guide for those who are attempting to do the same. Most people don't like to take risks especially when it comes to money. There are some though who are bold enough to invest on lucrative sites and make it big but we know that there are much more who fail. So, for those who are thinking of investing on online programs, here are some of the guidelines you may want to check: 1. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose - This is the Golden Rule of online investment. If the money you're going to invest will make you broke for the rest of your life in the event it didn't work out, then, for heaven's sake, don't invest that money at all! However, if you have a spare money and has found a good site to join, then, by all means invest. 2. Test before you invest - Check if the site is legit or at least paying at the time you decide to invest. For PTC sites, try to cashout first. For money cycler programs or profit sharing sites, join as a free member and try to get your referrals. Some sites will allow you to earn from referrals even without investing yourself. 3. Sign up under a sponsor who will give you the actual status of the site - This may sound like a way for me to lure you under me, isn't it? lol! Kidding aside, there are some members who just join a site and never bother to investigate/research. They may have done a background research prior to joining but they don't usually check forum or investigation sites every now and then to check if the sites they've joined in are still paying or if they have already turned into scam. With a transparent sponsor, at least, you'll get first hand knowledge whether to continue or not. However, there are some sponsors who will hide the truth behind the status of a site in order for them to cash out first before the site turns fully into a scam site, so watch out for those! 4. Trust your instincts - When you are 75% doubtful of the legitimacy of the site, then, don't invest at all! Chances are you are right. If however the site proves to be legit, then, you can always join at a later time. 5. Invest, Cashout Initial Investment, then, Play with Profits - there are a lot of people who fall into the trap of reinvesting all their earnings and will withdraw only once they start receiving good amount of earnings. That is dead wrong. You'll need to get your seed money out first, no matter how tempting or lucrative the business is. You'll never know when a site would turn scam or fold because of financial issues, so, better get your money and at least 50% profit out before you decide to crazily reinvest all your earnings back to gain a lot more. 6. Don't put all your eggs in one basket - Make sure you invest on different reliable programs. You may be earning a good amount of money this time from a single site but what happens if that site's program collapses? You're left with nothing. Although, (hopefully) you may have profited from the site, the problem is your earnings now completely stopped and you'll have to start again with another program.
