High Yield Investment Programs and Investing

I have recently started to get started with online currency. The current online currency of choice by basically all investment programs is e-gold.

To get started in online investing, you should first create an e-gold account and add funds to it. There are a few ways to fund your account. The first and most reliable way is to use an exchange service to transfer funds from your bank, credit card, or other forms of credit. E-gold has a list of them here. The second way is to exchange with a private person. The following sites are popular forums where members offer exchange between a large variety of different online currencies: GoldAge, TalkGold, and MMG. The third way to get money into your account is to join some kind of "Get Paid To" program. These programs will pay you to do things such as read emails, click links, and sign up for offers. They are useful if you can't fund your e-gold account by any other way and you have $0.00. The disadvantage is that they take a while to build up some funds. The programs that I have used and paid me are GoldAge (paid to post), and Donkeymails.

After getting at least $1 into your e-gold account, a bunch of new opportunities to make money are available. The ones that you should look for are HYIPs (High Yield Investment Programs). These programs offer a high rate of interest for depositing your money. These programs are risky and may run away with your money. The best way to minimize your risk is to do research on the program. Find out where its hosted at, search about it, check out forums posts about it, and check HYIP monitor sites about it. The key to making profit is not to put all your money into one program as it can drop and disappear at any time no matter how reliable it was in the past. History repeats itself over and over and some people never learn that no program can be trusted 100%. Sites that offer 10% daily or more are the riskiest.

If you are one of few successful investors who have made lots of profits, you may want to start thinking about investing a portion into low yield investment programs. These are much more reliable than HYIPs, but they offer much lower rates.

Programs to avoid:
Matrix doubling programs - these are programs where you pay like $5 and get like $1 for every member you refer. It advertises that you can get thousands if your members refer more members and you get $1 for each in theory but it never actually works out. You will lose your money in 95% of these programs.

Poorly designed site - sites that have misspellings, grammar mistakes, and bad layout. These programs usually run by amateurs and those who can barely speak English. The risk for these programs are bigger than usual and the admin of the program is probably just out to make quick money off of you.

Game and betting sites - sites that offer games such as head/tails and state that you get 250% profit for winning. The truth is that the win rate for these programs is like 30% and you will lose your money. I have seen one of the scripts myself and saw that you can set what the win rate is.

Other sites:
There seems to be a big craze and hype about a program called AGLOCO. However, I personally don't think it will be as successful as everyone thinks. There are like hundreds of people trying to get referrals for it and unless you are willing to spend money, time, and effort, I don't think you will get very far. It's your choice and you can go ahead and join it if you want and prove me wrong.
