That’s how I consider myself when it comes to investing. When I started working online several years ago, I don’t plan of entering into investment activities. All I thought during that time was to work for a specific site and earn.
However, as my offline job become demanding and I need to devote more time for it, my time for working online was reduced causing for my earnings to decline. Investment was the only option I thought of having in order to earn additional income.
I started a small amount because I am afraid of losing the hard earned money I had. Money I earned by staying late at night and waking up early in order to work. I lost with some investments and win on others. Slowly, I developed the habit of setting aside some amount only for investment. I learn to play with the game. I started diversifying and was glad of the result. As of now, I have investments on several sites and loving the result.
How about you my friends, have you tried online investment? What kind of investor are you?

Hi Aries,like Kala I too have never ever invested my money on any site so far , rather earned through different sites by contributing and it all adds up even if it is a small amount. If you have been able to successfully able to earn back your investment with interest , good for you since you must be doing all the right things and I wish you all the best

We need to set an allowance for mistakes and failures. I have been scammed not once but several times. But those things makes me stronger and more focused. Yes, investing online is a high risk activity which requires thorough research and lots of courage. Now, I understand the meaning of the saying, the higher the risk the greater the reward. Thank you for your time.

My only fear is vulnerability in that these sites can just disappear. Good for ARRIES that she is prepared to take that risk.

Yes i do. We can't survive online without investment, if you want to earn more and more , investment is important. I just started investment few month ago and now i am making something extra, but soon it will become my full time income. Hope so....... haha.

Glad to know someone who is a risk taker too. Only few have the courage. Actually, I only started just a few months ago. I cannot risk my money before because I needed it badly for my son who was in college. My son already graduated so I decided to make the step and I am glad I did. I can see a bright future with this activity. Good luck to both of us! Have a blessed Sunday.

Hi! I used to have the same mind setting when I was just starting. But then, I realized that I am only earning when I really work. Well, there are times when I can't. So I decided to take a risk. Anyway, I came here with nothing. The only investment I have was my time, effort and of course the facilities to be online. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

I haven't tried online investments yet. I do invest with stocks and mutual funds. I can say that time is my investment online. That's about it but time is as valuable as money so I invest it wisely as well.

I agree with you, time is a very valuable investment. Stocks and mutual funds are also good form of investment and are low risk compared to some online investments. Thank you for dropping by!

I have never done that as these sites can just disappear without a trace. I admire you for the risk that you are taking

@ARIES1973 The fact that you are ready to lose is the way to go.

Like I said I came here with nothing. Everything that I have online came from my activities and so I decided to set a little amount everytime for investment. I always apply the golden rule, invest what you can afford to lose. Thank you for sharing your view.

Hi, @ARIES1973. My only investment is stocks which I started last 2013. I also did some stock trading, and gained some profit. I'm a risk taker as long as the site I'm investing in is legit. I'm doing a lot of research before I trust the site.
