HYIP Investment Tactics

Investing in HYIPs requires a very well designed risk management plan and a capital which you can afford to lose. This capital should be from $200 to $500. You can try with less or more but my suggestion is between these amounts because if you make profit, that will be nice money, but if you lose that wouldn’t hurt as much as if you would lose thousands of dollars!

The first and probably the most important thing about the investment process is diversification or in other words „Never put your eggs in one basket”. This is a key risk management tactic which can save you lots of dollars! Just like with other investment opportunities there are different risk rates here too. For example a HYIP which offers 300% ROI after 3 days does not carry the same amount of risk as the HYIP which offers 300% in 3 weeks. There are other components other than just ROI but the essence remains. In my oppinion, depending on the amount of your capital, you should diversify your portfolio among 5-10 HYIPs because this way you reduce the risk massively! Do not invest equally in all of them but invest according to the amount of risk.

The second most important thing is that you must get your capital back as soon as possible! Lots of HYIPs offer a compounding option which means that your profit will be automatically reinvested until the investment period ends. It is true that you can make a huge profit this way but most of the Hyips use this option to keep the investors money in their program to make greater profit when they run away. Don’t even think about compounding until you get your original deposit back! Do daily withdrawals where possible. After you got your deposit back, you still have the option to consider the compounding option.

The third most important thing is Investigation. When you find a HYIP always check these things:

The ROI. 1-3% daily is reasonable and realistic.

The website. If it has poor design or it has that common HYIP script which 80% of the HYIPs use run away as fast as you can! The website and script should be unique!

Always check the customer support by sending an e-mail, or by contacting the live support online or on phone.

If there are stats on the main site always check them. If the amount of deposits is 3* or 4* as much as the withdrawals, you can still make profit, even if it is a PONZI.

Check the site’s DDOS protection. A DDOS attack is common among HYIPs so having a good protection against it creates a higher value for the investment program.

Check the Whois info. It is a good sign if the domain is registered for more than one year.

http://www.whois.net

Ask for Due Diligence Documents. These can be Company Registration Docs, or Personal ID, and maybe trading results.

What are the payment methods for deposits and for withdrawals? Most of the HYIPs work with e-gold only. The better ones accept Bank Wires and E-Bullion too. If there withdrawal fees, consider investing twice unless they have a very good reason for it!

Check the HYIP Monitors like Goldpoll and Hyipranks.

A referral program can be either a good sign and a bad also. If the ref comissions are too high then the program focuses on getting more new investors to be able to pay. This smells like a Ponzi. On the other hand if they offer a solid ref comission, that is a good sign, because the fact that an Investment program coming online is that they would like to trade with bigger capital to achieve their goals. For bigger capital they need investors. For investors they need marketing. There is nothing wrong about that.

The forums of the Hyip programs like MoneyMakerGroup or Hyipranks forum, maybe Talkgold are also resources of investigation. Read people’s oppinions about the program but do not let yourself to be affected too much, because as I said there are lots of corrupt people there!

A few more good signs: SSL protection. Certificates of trust and legality (Better Business Bureau etc.)

When you fall into this area of moneymaking you can easily make the mistake to be piggy. If you act like that, you will pay the price! Always consider twice before investing and THINK! Do not fall for cheap tricks.

For a beginner I have two more suggestions.

1. Check out the service of Hyipsignals. You can save time and money with them.
2. Check out Booklands HYIP reports here: http://www.huanghanshi.com/money/dailyreport.htm
   This guy is amazing and even if he is not 100% accurate all the time, he is accurate most of the time!

The Perfect High Yield Investment Program?

Finally I would like to describe how the perfect program would look like to me.

They would have a unique website and script which is easy to navigate and has DDOS protection. The site would contain the methods of how the profit is made. Actual trading results. There would be 1-3% daily interest which depends on the amount of deposit. Principal is back after the investment period. Compounding OPTION. DD documents would be provided to any investor. Live Customer Support Online and on Phone. Corporate information. Offices outside the Tax Heavens. $50 minimal investment limit. Proper Risk management E-Gold, E-Bullion, Credit Card, Bank Wire deposits and withdrawals. Fast withdrawals. Inner exchange service. No withdrawal fees for E-Gold and E-Bullion. They would have their own forum for their community and support. Debit Cards for withdrawals which can be loaded directly from the accounts. Certificates of the legality of the business. SSL protection. Multilanguage website. As an additional service they would provide infos about how to reduce taxes.

This program would be a dream come true for many HYIP investors. So do not keep it secret if you find one!

I hope you enjoyed the article!

Investing in HYIPS

As I said in my previous article investing in High Yield Investment Programs is very risky and requires a unique mindset. That mindset should allow you to accept that it is possible that you steal other people’s money through HYIPs however these people agreed to the risk of the investment program.

Most of the HYIPs are smart, very smart, and there is a whole online community that lives on these programs either running or investing in one or maybe both. What I found out is that there are lots of dissamblers out there. In this arena there is noone (including me) who you should trust. It is extremely important to make your own decisions and take the risk.

There are forums where you can read about HYIPs and other online investment and business opportunities.

Heres a few I recommend for you to read:

-Moneymakergroup

-Speakupforum

-Globalgoldtalk

-Hyipranks

-Talkgold

These forums are filled with people who want to build wealth online. Some of them are honest and some of them are scammers who just want to steal your money. These forums are good places to build business relationships however think twice before doing business with anyone! I do not want to scare you but I promised that I will tell the truth!

There are Investment Monitors called HYIP monitors which track the HYIPs. They are good sources if you would like to invest. They check whether the site is up and working, check the payouts, and people who got paid or not paid can vote there.

There are actually two I recommend:

-Hyipranks

-Goldpoll

There is a guy named Bookland who has an investment monitor site too which I highly recommend you to check out because he is honest. His predictions are not always accurate but most of the time he is right. I do not say that take his word like an order but if you are new then you should really consider his oppinion!

You can find his reports here: http://www.huanghanshi.com/money/dailyreport.htm

A very common rule in HYIP investing is that do not invest more money than you can afford to lose! Now take that rule as an order! Do not borrow money to invest! Do not invest if you haven’t got anything to eat!

Investing in HYIPs is a lot like gambling.

Investing in these programs happens through e-currencies. The most popular are E-Gold and E-Bullion. E-Gold is accepted by more hyips however it is not as safe as E-Bullion with a Cryptocard protection. I recommend E-Bullion because the better HYIPs will accept it too and as I said, there are lots of hackers and scammers, who are specialized to steal money from your E-Gold account. If you register with E-Bullion I highly recommend to buy Cryptocard protection as well! It is $99 which is worth the value you receive in exchange.

But how can I buy e-currencies?

Nice question! There are e-currency exchange services out there which will do it for you. Theres two I recommend and which surely works:

The Bullion Exchange

Icegold

They have reliable, fast services and friendly customer support. They won’t scam you for sure!

I know this article was a bit too sceptical but HYIP investments are dangerous. This is the truth however they have great profit potential if you do your investments right!

The next article will be about HYIP investment tactics.

HYIPS and other Online Investment Opportunities

The Upcoming series will require less work than Internet Marketing, but this doesn't mean that it works without work! Anyway, this will be the series for lazy people!

What is a HYIP? It stands for High Yield Investment Program. They became very popular in the last 2-3 years. What they offer is a much more higher return on investment (ROI) than banks or other well known opportunities do.



The first important thing for you to know about these programs is that most of them (popularly said 99%) are Ponzi schemes. This means that while they pay out to their investors they pay from the new investors money. This is like when a snake begins to eat himself from his tale. It works for a while but sooner or later when there will be no more fresh investors, or the program reaches it's desired profit it stoppes paying and the admin(s) suddenly disappear.



For example:

Joe invests $100 on monday to a program that offers 300% ROI in one week. Paul and Patricia invests $200-200 in the same program on Wednesday and Thursday. Now there is exactly $500 in this HYIP. From this amount our Joe will be paid on the next monday. He tells all of his friends and relatives to invest in this program because it will make them rich! Because of Joe's "work" lots of people invests on monday and on tuesday but somehow the program disappear on wednesday without any prior notice. Paul and Patricia will be...lets say unhappy.

So who made profit here?

1. Joe who got in early
2. The admin of the Ponzi



Of course this scheme is illegal but it is very hard to catch someone on the Internet, especially if the money which was lost, is not worth the investigation.

What I would like to say with this is that there is a big risk involved in all online investment programs! That risk cannot be made totally disappear. The only thing you can do with it is to accept that it is there and minimize it as much as possible. This will be done through proper investigation and risk management.



Luckily nowdays there are much more reliable programs, but they are still hard to find. These are mostly private programs where you can register only by invitation from another member. I will write about these programs in a whole article soon!

There are other investment opportunities too. I call them active investment opps. because they require you to learn some skills and experience to make money. Just a few of them: FOREX, COMEX, BET ON MARKETS, ALLSPORTSMARKET.



First time when I found a HYIP I began to think about how can it be possible to make that great profit without anyone on the world knowing about it? This is the question you should always ask from yourself when you find a new opportunity. There is a rule in the online community which is:

If something is too good to be true it is probably not true.

In my oppinion this sentence can easily mislead anyone. Let me tell you why! Because it depends on what are your expectations, what you think and on your experience and previous knowledge. For example if your dream is to work from home and build wealth, that can be done! It is possible. But a program which offers 200% or more ROI/day is surely a Ponzi. So I would like to ask you to always think and decide on your own. Create a vision and make it happen no matter what! Do not listen to these sceptical and negative guys out there!



To give you hope I tell you that there are legal ways to make much more greater profit through Online Investments than a bank can ever offer. I will dedicate a whole article series to these opportunities. Just to name a few: FOREX, Sports Arbitrage, Online Stock Investments, Bank Debenture Trading, COMEX.

If done properly, online investments can be highly profitable! So lazy people, just like myself, should definetely read my following articles!

I hope you enjoyed reading!

Buying Qualified E-mail lists plus few Tips

This sub-topic is extremely important for you to read, especially if you are a beginner!

Buying qualified e-mails can be very profitable and can mean lots of sales to you. At first I must tell you that before you step into and take action you must optimize your site for the best conversion rates. Read the Landing Page article and test some ideas!



A qualified visitor is someone who is interested in your topic or maybe in your products. Before buying an e-mail list consider how qualified are these people on the list. For example if they subscribed because they would like to teach their dog and you have a Dog Training Course for sale is not the same thing as if they were subscribed only because they would like to receive tips about how to keep their dog healthy. The qualification is much more different! Be selective and buy only those list which is highly qualified to your product or service like the dog Training Course.

There are lots of scammers and poor services in this area however if you just started in e-mail marketing then it would be a very good option for you to start your e-mail marketing campaign and build up your OWN list.



Before buying a list from a list provider always contact them and ask how did they got that list because most of these so called provider's lists are

1. Too old
2. The addresses doesn't even exist anymore
3. They got the e-mail illegally
4. The e-mail address didn't allow them to send messages and blocked them out through spam blockers.

Do not fall for the numbers like "E-Mail 3 million people!" If you see something like that leave immediately! Do not fall for flashy testemonials! A list of 1000 to 15000 people is reasonable. If your conversion is only 5% it will be still a very good money!

One of the great sources where you can find good lists is DM news . I highly recommend to visit them regularly to read and learn. Keep yourself up to date!

When you buy the list contact the list provider and ask as much as you can about the subscribed people. Where did they subscribe, what offers did they take, how long are they on the list etc. The more you know about the PEOPLE behind the list the more successful you will be!

Be sure to pay great attention when you e-mail the list first! Design your e-mail professionally. Do not make it long! Introduce yourself and be kind! Throw them few very useful tips about your topic, and tell them how their life can be much better and easier when they visit your site!



Yes you heard it right! Do not try to sell anything in that e-mail! Just tell them in a few almost unvisible sentences that you have a product too. There are meny people who want to sell them everything. Be different! This is a key fact! The sales are the objective of your landing page and website. Just be sure to attract them there!



Your site should be interactive. Where the visitors can do free things. You should make the the time enjoyable to keep them coming back. A good idea would be if you own a website about dog training to setup a chat or forum there where people can discuss their oppinions and experiences. Did you know how much time a person avaragely come to a site until he or she buy anything? That number is 4-5 so pay great attention to keep everyone coming back!



I have great tip for the end of this article. What if you wouldn't have to deal with spam blockers because you would e-mail the client directly? This is exactly what you can do with Desktop Marketer. This is a program from Marketingtips.com which is a brilliant idea. When you use this program people just download a small e-mail software and you will be able to send messages to this software directly. This is not a cheap software but worth its price! You can even make the subscription to a list like that more valuable by giving it a small monthly price. Like $10 or $15 especially if you give away very useful and unique info or a course. This way you can even create more qualified lists!

This the end of the e-mail marketing article series. I hope you learned useful things. Of course there are much more in E-mail marketing then in this article series so do not be shy to learn and develop yourself every time! Visit DMnews regularly and read their E-Mail marketing section.

I decided to switch topic. So the next articles will be about HYIPs which stands for High Yield Investment Programs and other Online Investment Opportunities. Do now be afraid! Internet Marketing Section will be continue after it!

I hope you enjoyed this article and that I could help!

The Use of Autoresponders in E-Mail Marketing

If you aren't sure what an autoresponder is, that's okay because there are many who do not.

An Autoresponder is some software you can utilize to automatically reply to emails.It is also an email address. It is a time-efficient way to market a product or service.



There are two types of autoresponders:

1. Web Based
2. Non-Web Based Software

The operation of an autoresponder is relatively simple and is very easy to setup.

Heres how a web based autoresponder works:

The script sends a message to the email address your autoresponder is using then e-mail autoresponder program sends e-mail replies automatically.

Your autoresponder is a tremendous marketing tool! Once the autoresponder is in place, you just sit back and rake in the profits. It is the most powerful product and is less expensive. Setting it up is not complicated. It is up to you to decide which type you will use.

Here are two links for you to help:

Marketingtips-You will find a software named Mailloop there. It is a Non web based software which can make your e-mail related activities much much easier and faster!

Prosender-This is a web based service. Even the guy who never saw computers in his life can use it!

An innovative road to use your autoresponder is to use it with your testimonials. Testemonials always build trust in visitors, so use them often! They must be essential part of your sales page too!



It could be an ezine or a newsletter, but the most important element of an autoresponder is the ability to keep in touch with your customers all year round. Using a free autoresponder is acceptable in certain situations, and of course, any autoresponder is better than no autoresponder at all so if you have only a few bucks to start this is not the service you must miss!



All webmasters involved in marketing make use of an automatic responder (autoresponder) for all the obvious reasons. It can send automatic personalized follow-ups. This automatic system gives the marketer the full time attention necessary to sell online. Time management is a key factor to success! You must automate as much processes as you can in your business to be able to focus on other parts of it, or to focus on a different business!




How to setup an autoresponder? It depends on the service or software you will use. But the thing I really want to talk here about is to be very careful and test! If you set it up the wrong way it will cost you money because your subscribers will know that you are not professional! So double test everything. It is worth your time, believe me! Anyway after setup, you won't have to work with it anymore (hopefully). So it deserves a one time full attention!



The autoresponder is probably the best thing that ever happened to marketing. Get an objective review of their major features and decide which type of autoresponder is suitable for you. The autoresponder is the heart beat of any Internet business! If you want to run a professional and functioning website and want to be successful online, then an autoresponder is the ultimate tool!

The Importance of landing pages


A landing page is the first page a visitor to your site sees. This page is simple, compelling and clear. It is not the place to write a novel. A landing page is simply a web page to which visitors are directed to when they click on a result from the search engine.



Ensure that your landing page is relevant to your keywords and your ad text. If you seek sales or leads online, your current landing page is like a hay farm. Make sure that it is considered an essential part of the campaign. A bad landing page is like a bad toupee, a wrinkled suit, or a dirty car. How your landing page is designed impacts your conversion rates!

The first question to ask about any home page or landing page is this: What is this page's primary objective. And for good reason: The landing page is the all-important first impression a prospect gets when visiting your Website. The landing page is your only chance to convert online searchers into leads or customers. You want them to complete the one action on which your landing page is focused which can be a form where they give you their e-mail address and name in exchange of an e-book or e-course or maybe for just a subscription to your newsletter.



The objective of the landing page is simple: get the reader to move to another page. Find a way that focuses your visitor to subscribe to your list. The landing page is where conversion happens, so it should be clear and compelling, with a strong call-to-action. The best way to write an effective landing page is to think of it as the irresistible continuation of your sales letter.

Before you start to design your landing page, define that page's conversion activity. When using a paid insertion to the search engines (such as pay-per-click), the design of the landing page is critical for the success of the advertisement. Establish Trust With Page Design. Your landing page should be just as attractive and carefully designed as your home page. Design your landing page to show them the merchandise and then lead them to the checkout line. As you design or redesign your landing page and website, make the user experience a high priority! Make sure the graphics, layout, and form design match the look and feel of the campaign and are user-friendly.

Those landing pages you pay for so dearly are a logical place to begin your solid commitment to better conversion rates. The conversion rates for an identical keyword phrase can vary radically depending on what type of landing page a search results link leads to. The ad copy has an effect on the page's conversion rate too. Once the ads have been running for a while, review the conversion metrics for each of your keyword/landing page combinations. Remove all distractions that aren't pertinent to the conversion goal. Visually lead users toward conversion. In order to increase the conversion of keyword advertising, create continuity between your keyword and your landing page. Make them ready to move along the conversion process: to submit a form, contact a rep, or make a purchase.



Nothing kills conversion rates faster than a navigation bar on your landing page!

You can tune your landing pages to convert better by testing your landing pages. Test which advertisements drive highest conversion! When testing, send an identical ad to each landing page, comparing the conversion rates for each page. Regardless of your bid strategy, testing new keywords is an investment.



Testing should be an ongoing process in site design!

Yeah the landing page is the juice that makes your e-mail list and number of leads grow! Landing page is where the actual action takes place. If your email campaign is the shiny wrapper, then the landing page is the candy bar.

I hope you enjoyed the article!

E-Mail marketing-Newsletter

It has been shown that e-mail newsletter is more effective than having the information available on a page on the website.

The electronic newsletter should be provided in two formats:
1. HTML
2. Simple Text

The newsletter is intended to give your visitors useful, up-to-date information about your website’s topic, through short articles with web links and email addresses.

The body of the newsletter is the bulk of the text excluding the headlines and decorative text elements. The first area of the newsletter is for introductions and commentary.




The general newsletter is not as attractive as a personal email campaign newsletter. It should be perfectly clear where is it coming from. It is your medium for telling your story your way on a continuing, current basis. Permission to forward or reprint your newsletter should be granted, because if people will like it, they will send it to their friends and relatives who are potential qualified visitors!



An email newsletter is a cost effective way to maintain contact with your clients and/or prospects. One click of a button and the newsletter is emailed to all your subscribers. The newsletter is NEVER sent unsolicited.



The purpose of it is to provide specialized information to a targeted audience. So find areas where your newsletter is unique! It should be short, simple and insightful.

„Receive our FREE 8-day e-course on how to construct a beautiful gift basket”-would be a nice ad line for example if you give away an e-course in exchange of the visitor’s e-mail address. When your visitor signs up for the e-course an autoresponder takes over from there, which I will discuss in a later article. You only need to know now that an autoresponder is a huge help because it automates processes that can take hours or days to complete!



Of course, the e-course also subtly sells your product, because it gives you expert value in the area, so your visitors will think that you know what you are doing!

Your newsletter should be sent out once a week except if there is a special promotion! Believe me when I say that your visitors don’t want to get countless mails from you when they subscribed to a WEEKLY newsletter.



You should include tips and ideas which your visitors can use. The weekly newsletter should contain also a complete list of all titles you’ve added to the site in the past week to keep your subscribers up to date and to attract them to visit your site on a regular basis!



The Newsletter is now one of the most effective ways to collect e-mail addresses. It is the perfect "water".

E-mail Marketing and Building a List

E-mail marketing are often more effective than printed direct mail. The uses for e-mail marketing are virtually limitless.



The main goals are to support branding, customer relations, sales, to generate new contacts and build traffic to the websites. Response rates are strong, ranging from 5 to 35% depending on the industry and format. Many of the principles of direct and e-mail marketing are counterintuitive.

Sales conversation rates generated by e-mail marketing are also substantially higher than a year ago. Unfortunately, the efforts of honest companies using e-mail marketing are also getting blocked.



E-newsletters provide marketers with targeted exposure on a regular basis, and the applications of e-mail marketing are limited only by imagination. E-newsletters and other forms of e-mail marketing are other tools that can help drive business.

The study, prepared by Peter Johnson, the DMA's top economist, estimated that a do-not-e-mail list would cost businesses $5. The most difficult step to opt-in marketing is developing a quality e-mail list. Building your e-mail list is the most important thing you can do to improve your e-mail marketing.



The number of people who sign up for an e-mail list for the first time has been flat for the last three years.

One of the key techniques a site uses to build its e-mail list is a free product or course in exchange of the e-mail address and name of the visitor. A good way to sell is to tell them about a limited time special promotion or discount. Get permission before putting any name you've collected on your e-mail list!

Providing exceptional customer care is one of the keys to maintaining good customer relations with your list.



Monitor new trends and approaches to customer care! Accept that there are people just like you behind the e-mail addresses you collected and treat them like that, and you will be better then most of your competition!

Effective advertisements are geared toward qualified visitors. This helps you market your site and draw more and more qualified visitors and customers. You need to acquire the most qualified visitors for the lowest cost.



You can obtain highly qualified visitors from your linking partners that offer complimentary services. Get qualified visitors to your site, and keep them coming back! This way you'll bring in less visitors, but very qualified visitors.

For direct marketers, the low costs of e-mail marketing are extremely attractive because even low response rates could result in some profits. By the year 2005, revenues generated by e-mail marketing are expected to grow to $7. Unfortunately, the efforts of honest companies using e-mail marketing are also getting blocked.



New stricter regulations for e-mail marketing are making it more challenging than ever for school marketers to communicate to prospective buyers.

Risked or not, the benefits associated with e-mail marketing are undeniable! The best days of e-mail marketing are yet to come as technology improves the tools and opt-in programs lengthen your mailing list. Companies who ignore the power of e-mail marketing are leaving tremendous profits on the table.

Thats it for today! I hope you enjoyed the article!

E-Mail Marketing In General

Today I will talk about the subtopics of e-mail marketing because first I would like you to see the whole picture.



E-Mail marketing in my oppinion is still one of the main methods to attract qualified traffic to your site however there are lots of things to be aware of.

One of these things is spam blocker or spam filters. They are very popular nowdays and I bet you have one too! These filters are great because they prevent all those rubbish e-mails to reach us. The problem with these filters are that if you wait an e-mail from an unknown address , the filter will potentialy block that mail. This is too bad for you because if a visitor on your website subscribes to your newsletter he won't get it until he doesn't set his spam blocker to accept e-mails from your address.



My suggestion is to always tell them to set their filters, and always send an activation e-mail to them before letting them to your list. This is an e-mail which contains an activation link. The subscriber's only job is to click on it.

But lets get back to the topics!

1. Building a list of e-mails



I put this to first place because it is crucial in your online marketing strategy. Just imagine that you sell mobile phones on your website and you have a list of 6000 people who are interested in buying a new phone. How profitable that would be? Of course you can use this list in other marketing methods too. People will even pay you to advertise in it!

2. Newsletter



The best way to collect people's addresses is to offer a free newsletter or an e-mail course on the topic you write about. Tell your visitors that they will receive real value by subscribing to your newsletter. Maybe this is a good chance to use a viral marketing product too, which I will discuss later.

3. Landing Page



This is the page where your visitor arrives first. Be sure to offer them something valuable on this page. Make it short and eye catching. Offer your visitors free stuff if they give you their e-mails.

4. Autoresponders



Great way to contact your subscribers automatically after they have given you their address. Be polite in this e-mail and also give them a brief but valuable info about your topic.

5. Buying qualified E-mail lists



This is a dangerous subtopic because of the lots of scammers and poor services in this area. This method is very good for beginners who not yet have their own list.
I will give you resources and site names to use.

6. Tips and tricks



I will give you some extra info which is truly magical, and is very effective and profitable.

Thats it for today. Prepare yourself for tomorrow's List Building Lesson!
