Want to Invest some Money!

    Hi, I am a first-time serious thinker of investing in an online business, I haven't a clue on where to begin. All I know is, I want to invest about 3-10k$. I have tried looking info up online but I am more confused that ever. Is there any way you can give me a breakdown on how to begin and what to trust and what not to trust? I am literally like the most clueless person on this; I could really use basic instructions on how to begin.

    only original and real business offers and projects

    Regards
    CO

    You can do different things, but most people around here start writing blogs and place a few ads and make money off of it.

    Another way to earn money is to tell traffic on your website how great products are somewhere else. It’s called affiliate sales and a number of professional affiliates make thousands, tens of thousands, and more with the business model.

    I would suggest you buy some website that already earn money then continue do some improvement to increase the website earning.
    Else you can try to setup shop at ebay then do some dropshipping.

    Word of advice - most people you talk to will be trying to sell you crap.

    At least do some research for yourself. Stumbling blindly in to Internet Marketing is a recipe for an empty wallet.

    Take all hype with a pinch of salt. It's always best to start with a project that you're actually passionate about.

    If this your first venture into owning a website and trying make money online than dont risk that huge amount money first time. Be smart by a smaller site or two and learn the ropes first. They need to profitable and successful before you go too big too soon.

    To keep getting continual income from a site its needs contant attention, mangement, evolve, seo, promotion and marketing online and offline. DO you have the skills or funds to hire people to do this.

    You need to get reading and researching, consider doing some courses in web design, business management and book-keeping for tracking your income, tax, expenses. profit etc. as there are just such a range of skill required and even then you cant be an expert in everything. Then you need to do a business plan / research/ audit on any site you want to buy or start. A good accountant and lawyer are always good to know so they can be referred to for advice on those matters too.

    You really need to investigate further before you take the plunge as there so more to it and then there scam sellers who can make sites look legit like they are earning $ but they not worth that much.

    If it was that easy everyone from Donald Trump to the bum on the corner would be raking it with huge ROI - there would be no need for trying to earn from share/stock market, gambling, bank interest, bonds/securities etc.

    There are safer less risk investments with more of a guarantee of a return out there. Dont be greedy.

    When i first started years ago i have no idea and bought a whole heap of turnkey (meant to be automated run themselves, NOT) types sites that sold digital items and services but had no idea how to run them or promote them. These days there is even more competition and way more complex approaches to marketing with social media sites and other mediums. I ended reselling my first sites at a loss and was not a fun experience at all :( It took me years before i understood enough to make money online and even then the internet is a fast changing environment you need to keep up with.

    You need to still have other reliable sources of income before you rely on website income for life expenses too. If you do earn online then it tends to be more up and down inconsistent unlike your pay from a job in the real world.

    Good luck but be very very careful

    I would recommend buying ready made websites which are already getting enough hits to make $X per day.

    Just to start off with, they work great and are always on your side making you extra money..

    No, it is a scam. Seriously I would suggest capping the amount of money you use on your first investment, expect to lose it. If you want an investment that will show a return without any work then the internet is not where you should be putting it, go to your local bank.

    No, it does not have to be a scam. Cpa marketing can be very lucrative and can produce a great ROI, if you have a good method and some creativity. The people who say otherwise are the people who don't know how to make money online.

    With that said, if you decide to go that route, do your due diligence and ask for sufficient proof that they have actually made money, and get a contract with some clear terms outlining how, when, and how much you will be paid back. If they don't live up to the terms of that contract, take them to court. Good luck!

    Yeah, that's possible, although most escrow services will release that to you if there is a scam. I can't think of any reason off the top of my head why using escrow would be a bad thing. You should be OK.
