Hints and Tips

1. Minimise the risk to Maximise the gain.
Spread your investment over a number of programs and diversify into different types of programs.

2. Do not let your funds accumulate in a program. After you have removed your initial investment and the program is again earning money, always pay yourself. Take out some of the profits. How you do this is up to you, you can take out 80% and roll over 20% back into the program, or take out 20% and roll over 80%, or even 50-50 or any variation that is best suited for you.

3. Do not get fooled into jumping in blind into a new program, “ground level Opportunities,” or the, “Early bird gets the worm,” syndrome. Remember, that it is always the, second mouse that gets the cheese from the mouse trap.

4. Do not invest heavily in a new program, no matter how good it looks or how well it is recommended. If it is paying out well this week, it will be paying out well next week, next month.
Make sure that it has an established record of consistent payouts before investing 4 figure sums and, that you can afford to lose it. It is not unknown for programs to crash just as people are getting comfortable and a little blase and start investing 4 and 5 figure sums. Let someone else be the first to invest 4 figure sums and watch how the program progresses.

My philosophy is; 1% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I do not mean 1% literally; I much prefer to take smaller profits from a number of programs than lose everything in one or two programs.

5. Anticipate problems. If you have invested in a program that has only been running for 3 – 4 months be prepared for a few teething problems. The administrators of some programs can be taken completely by surprise by the number of people that join within a short period. This can show in various ways, slow up-dating of accounts, inability to access the web site as their server cannot cope with the volume of traffic, and even recruiting and training more administration staff. Be Patient and monitor how the program and the administrators keep you up to date with progress.

6. Only deal with programs that have real people to contact. If the only contact point that you have is a throw away email address, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, G-Mail, Mail.com, or some obscure email company or, a post box for a mailing address, then do not get involved.

7. This business is about taking your opportunities when they arise, maximising those opportunities and minimising the risks.
If you are the type of person that cannot accept a, “set back,” or, the occasional loss without getting depressed or suicidal, then this business is definitely not for you.

8. It could be that you are the type of person that is so busy looking back at the one door that has closed, that you cannot see the new door opening or, perhaps you are too frightened to walk through the new door, and grasp the new opportunity, then maybe this business is not for you.

9. The internet is an excellent environment for opportunities to make an income but, it has also been described by Eric Schmidt (The CEO of GOOGLE) as a, “cesspool of misinformation and content.”
With this in mind it is important to apply the rules above. For the Frank Sinatra’s of this world, (I’ll do it my way?) and those uneducated in the ways of the internet, the internet is a veritable mine field of disasters waiting to catch the unwary.

10. Never invest or get involved with programs out of desperation. Although I understand your predicament and I can empathize with your situation it is not a good idea for a quick fix. Desperation can involve taking greater risks, rather than minimising risks and you could find yourself in an even more desperate situation than you are now. If you cannot afford to lose it, Don't use it.
