Which Opportunities Best fit YOUR
Investment Strategies Preferences?
Now that you've had a chance to see what TYPE of investor you are
by taking the Investment Strategies Preferences Poll
lets start by looking at the following graph
to see what kind of online money making opportunities best reflect YOUR investment strategies.
As you can see, these online money making opportunities are ranked both according to their level of risk and if sales skills puts you at an advantage to succeed. It is important to match up your investment strategies with the way you want to make money online as you will feel more comfortable there as you start it. Starting anything new is the hardest part. Some of you might think that Real Estate Investment Properties are a lower risk than a Home Based Business. They are not when you factor in that there is a lot more money at risk in a Real Estate investment than a Home Based Business!
Now, looking over that list, what online money making opportunity do you see yourself finding success? Can you picture yourself setting up a busy and successful home based business online? Or are you looking to invest in Real Estate in vacation or rental property? Are you more of a trader, with a small amount of capital, looking to slowly grow it into a bigger one? Do you have a higher stomach for risk and are looking for a higher yielding investment or an off the beaten path investment opportunity? There is one exception to this graph. If you liked lower risk, but also were more of Non-Sales Person, you should look into an Automated Home Based Business as it handles any needed sales for you. You can find more about that under Home Based Businesses.
Whatever online money making opportunity you see yourself leaning towards, we can help you further research it! As you can see in the left menu we have organized many money making opportunities we have tested (with success) and can recommend in these areas by type. We regularly add new opportunities and recommendations, so if you do not find what you are looking for, please check back soon, as we update the site often.
We hope that gives you a better idea about what online money making opportunities that YOU should explore more to see if they fit for YOU! We have worked hard to produce good overviews, insights, and guidelines for each opportunity you are interested in looking into further. We will introduce you to great resources to better prepare yourself in HOW TO be successful in that opportunity, BEFORE you jump in to give it a try. With that in mind, let's look at one more important aspect of HOW TO approach ANY opportunity you are considering, and our opinion about how best to begin.
The fundamental thing you are looking for is Return On Investment. That is, how much will you get out for the time and money you put in?
Profit - Investment (Time+Money) = Return on Investment
Maybe this seems too simplistic to some of you, but we cannot believe how many people get caught up in the POTENTIAL return some opportunities offer and jump right in big, rather than starting small and seeing if it really is paying back as they THOUGHT it would. If it does NOT, then you have limited your loss and it is time to reconsider your strategy to this opportunity and if it will work for YOU. If it does make money, then you are WORKING OUT OF PROFITS, RATHER THAN OUT OF POCKET! A much better way to start!
That said, you also need to have a realistic expectation of how much you can make back on your investment! The first thing most scams or losing money making opportunities claim is that you can make 10 times your money back in a few months. While that is possible over a few years with a business or smart investment, we have seen enough people lose their money to to know that it just doesn't work that way.
No matter if you are starting your own home based business, investing in trading for the first time, buying your first property, or trying your first high yield investment TRY IT ON A SMALL SCALE FIRST!
It is also best to pick one money making opportunity you want to try and STICK WITH IT until you are either successful with it or decide to research a different one. Imagine you want to buy Real Estate Property as an investment. You would start with a small affordable property and manage it until you could turn a profit. You wouldn't hurry up and grab some property without doing your research, in your hurry to make a profit and end up taking a QUICK LOSS. You also wouldn't go out and buy 10 properties and try to make money on them all starting out. It would also be a bad idea to get your first property, and then go and try to get a home based business started, all the while not being able to focus fully on either one and doing poorly in BOTH!
These may seem like obvious mistakes. Many people in their search to make money online make EXACTLY these kind of mistakes! They skip from opportunity to opportunity never making money from any of them, or they are in MANY opportunities at the same time, LOSING MONEY AT THEM ALL! You will often find that they DID NOT do much research BEFORE beginning an online money making opportunity or to do a PROFIT TEST, on a SMALL SCALE before they make a bigger investment. If you start small and find an opportunity you DO profit in, THEN you can use that as a building block to branch out and develop additional INCOME streams. Otherwise, you are just developing multiple LOSSES! If you can't make a business or opportunity work on a small scale, it won't work on a big scale either.
If you can't get a good return (A PROFIT) on a small scale, it is time to re-evaluate your strategy. While this does not happen overnight, it happens more often when you follow a well worn path. That is why we have done so much work in trying and evaluating different programs to help you find the best ones that give you a solid chance of succeeding in.
When you are getting started, the best thing you can do for yourself is to find a MENTOR. Someone who is successful at what you want to be doing who can share with you THEIR recommendations of HOW TO increase your chance of success in whatever opportunity you choose. This usually includes WHAT TO AVOID. You can learn this as simply as reading their book, attending their class or seminar, or joining an online business with leaders you like.
IDEALLY it would be someone you can email or talk to who can answer YOUR specific questions and give you further coaching and direction. We would avoid programs that don't have integrated lessons, training or educational materials that our both presented by an online system (available 24/7) and with online conferences where you can get your questions answered.
We know some of you are limited on funds when starting out, but that should not stop you from working smart! When you are looking at getting involved in an online money making opportunity, it is important that you focus on what is required to succeed in the business. How much do you have to spend on advertising, can you make a small investment and get a good return, is the training included or extra? These are the kinds of things you want to find out before you join, or during their free trial period. Let's just say it is a faster way of getting you to WORK OUT OF PROFIT, THAN OUT OF POCKET! Let's go over that again, because it reinforces why we advise this way of starting out!
Let's say you choose one of these online money making opportunities. You decide to try it because it fits your investment style and you like the potential return. It does NOT have to cost a lot, sometimes as little as $30 in USD to get started. The most important thing you want to find out is EXACTLY what you have to do to make it work after that. Will they show you STEP BY STEP, how to do that? If you have questions or problems, will there be someone there who can help? We only recommend programs or investments we have personally tested and recommended to others that people regularly make money at. Just by starting out in one of the businesses or ideas that we recommend will give you an idea of what to look for and what to look out for. Just spending the little time to do that will be worth it as it will SAVE you a LOT more than that in mistakes, believe us!
After you see the path to success in that area, you will know exactly how to do it on a larger scale. That is another reason why, if you are joining an established business, it is so important that they already figured out the marketing FOR you, so they can just share with you what works. Just having great marketing materials and telling you, that YOU need to figure out where they will work is a BAD idea! Why? Because there is no way you can become a marketing expert in your first $100 of advertising. But you will look like one, if you use $100 of their prepared and pretested advertising and it works!
So lets say you begin, and buy your product or business membership (or open a trading account).
If you cannot see progress in this first investment, then we would recommend you proceed with extreme caution, if you decide to continue. Go back through your educational materials and required steps to success to see if you missed anything. If you have the good fortune of having a mentor or advisor on your side, make good use of them and ask for their suggestions!
If you DO see progress and make more than you invested, DON'T JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET YET! Make your next test with your PROFITS and INITIAL INVESTMENT. If you can re-invest it and STILL see progress and even some profits, THEN we recommend you jump in WITH BOTH FEET and get excited as you will have found what 95% of online money making opportunity seekers HAVE NOT...
SUCCESS AT MAKING MONEY ONLINE!
The faster you can be WORKING OUT OF PROFITS RATHER THAN OUT OF POCKET, the more successful you will be! This does not happen overnight, but happens much faster when you work with an established, tested and proven system that can make any money you spend go farther.
