I have $500 - $1000 to invest. Suggestions?

    Hi there,

    I have from $500 to $1000 to invest in something LEGIT and, most important of all, with guarantees. I don't have a lot of money, and I need it urgently to help my family, so after reading a lot of threads here, I thought I should give it a try and use my "personal" fund. The thing is, i've been scamed more than once, and I can't make up my mind in who should I believe in here in DP or Sitepoint ( etc. ).
    Another problem is that, although I understand english with no trouble at all, i'm portuguese, so I guess that I can't't create a blog or something like that, or at least I can't write most of the content.

    Having said that, what should I do? I know there are some threads with the same question all over the forum, but I think there isn't any with these conditions.

    Thank you,
    Eduardo

    Yes in recent days,there has been many scammers out in the forums,and they are cheating evrywhere around. SO,its bit hard to believe someone.
    Well,my suggestion is,start a new Adult website or Invest in Forex.

    I've thought about creating an adult website, but I really don't know how would I get revenue from it. My experience with ads, for now, is only with Adsense, and they don't allow adult content, so...

    About Forex, i've already lost almost $1000 in it ( when the dollar started dropping ), i'm kind of scared to get back at it. As i've said, I need something more secure.

    Thanks for your suggestions though :)

    The ONLY guaranteed investments are Banks and government bonds. Both yield about the same %.

    Well,you can check one of my client's site,which i did for him, www.3sumz.com

    He earns around 1000-2000$ a month just from ads,sponsors,adult affiliates,etc. Its easy to earn from adult websites.
    Thanks..

    Indeed. Unfortunately here in Portugal there's no bank with decent rates.

    2 ideas:

    1) Start Making Proxys

    2) Go to SitePoint.com/market place and buy an established site.

    Just a note: It's difficul at first notice when a site it's a good oportunity or it's crap. I try to bid only when other have bid before. Isn't a good tactic, but help :)

    About the first one, I had to wait until Summer is over. I need something to invest right away.

    Offer a great custumer service and good hosting quality and you'r done.
    once your website is ready start recruting client :) money safe.

    For 1000$ you can buy an established web site but the problem is that if the site costs 1000$ it won't probably make you money right away, you will have to do some marketing and advertisement in order to start making real money. But in any case that's good investment.
