Rules of the game

All online investments should be considered high risk, and you should always keep in mind some cardinal rules, regardless of how tempting and great an opportunity may appear:

  1. Never, ever, risk more than you can afford to lose. Never play with your monthly household expense money (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.).
  2. Don't get greedy. It is way too tempting to compound for a few cycles before starting to withdraw.
  3. Get your principal back in the shortest amount of time that is reasonable for the program. Then you're playing with their bank, and anything you get back is free money.
  4. Please invest wisely and prudently, and do your own due diligence before making any decisions.
  5. Diversify between a number of short term, high yield programs, and more sustainable, long-term returns. This limits your risk and broadens your income base.

Welcome!

Greetings, fellow adventurers! Welcome to my little corner of the internet and my first foray into the land of blog.

My goal for this site is to provide a venue to discuss various online business opportunities in a friendly, cordial environment. I will be sharing programs that I'm in and offering my viewpoints, as well as regular updates
on their current performance and status.

Having been involved in the online arena since 2006, I hope I've acquired a few valuable nuggets of knowledge along the way that will help keep me out of the red, and hopefully benefit you as well.

Before we get much farther, though, I am compelled to make a few disclaimers to satisfy my legal advisers (or at least make them feel more comfortable about my undertakings here). So here goes:

The information provided on this site is for educational purposes only. These descriptions do not constitute any offer to sell securities, stocks, or shares of any sort. All the programs described are high risk and carry no guarantees whatsoever. Past performance and past personal experiences do not guarantee future results. If you choose to pursue any of these opportunities, please do not risk more than you can afford to lose. I would personally suggest limiting any initial investment until you are personally satisfied as to a program's viability before committing any larger sums, and also structuring your strategy to include recapturing your principal as early on as is feasible while still growing your account.

OK, now that weve got the fine print out of the way, let's jump right in to what this site is all about - sharing ways of making money online.
