5 Ways to Get Money for Investing

By Jamie McIntyre

One of the most sure-fire ways to build your assets is to invest, whether it’s in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate or business. But this is one of those areas where the phrase “it takes money to make money” is absolutely true – you can’t grow your money through investments until you have money to invest! There are a few ways to get money for investment, some simpler than others:

Savings. You should already be building your savings and, once you register a healthy number in your account, it’s time to take some of that capital and invest it in something that will give you a higher return on your money than the interest from savings. Even a smallish investment – like putting a few thousand dollars into a mutual fund – will earn more for you than money that’s just sitting in the bank.

Sell something. If you have a pile of money tied up in a motorhome you rarely use, or a timeshare that costs more than you get out of it – or any other asset that isn’t paying decent dividends – sell it, and use the money for something with a decent return. Your money can;t work for you if it’s just sitting there doing nothing.

Make more money. That sounds a little glib, but increasing your income will give you more money to invest. So get your employer to pay you more – position yourself as an asset to the company by contributing your ideas or working harder to increase business. With more money coming in, you’ll have more money to invest!

Use other people’s money. If you have friends or colleagues with capital, get them to throw in with you to buy into mutual funds or purchase real estate and share the profits. But there are other sources of “other people’s money” out there – if you want to start or increase your own business, look into getting a loan from the Small Business Association (SBA). If you need venture capital for a new business, check out a Business Investment Company (SBIC) – these privately organized and privately-managed investment firms are licensed by the SBA to provide money for both new and established businesses. If your employer matches 401(k) funds, take advantage of that. If you receive a gift or an inheritance, consider it “free money” and sink it right into investments rather than spending it.

Use the equity in your home. It’s not always the smartest move, but you can use your home’s equity for investment capital. If you’re financially stable, don’t rely on investments to meet your mortgage payment and can earn more on investments than you’re paying on interest, you can dip into your equity to buy stocks, invest in mutual funds, or buy additional property that will earn income.

In all cases, it shouldn’t be a gamble – make sure your investments will bring you a solid return, and then get the capital you need to make a profit.

8 Bad Simptons of HYIPs to Close

  1. Some of the stats were removed
  2. Slowing down payouts
  3. Stop instant withdrawal if start with instant withdrawal
  4. Stop paying selective members especially top investors
  5. Introduce new plan mostly unreasonable high rate (not 100% true because some hyips have good reason or aiming for program longevity)
  6. No support as usual
  7. Members have problem with login
  8. Launch member contest aggressively

Start Investing in HYIP

This guide shows how to invest in HYIP using e-gold, the world favorites e-currency.
  1. You have to have E-gold account. Register here.
  2. You have to fund your e-gold account. E-gold not offer currency exchange services. Instead there are a growing number of independent exchange services around the world accepting various remittance methods, including credit cards, bank wire, checks, money order and other online payment systems. You can find a list of some exchange services here. For those investors from Malaysia, I recommend Egold Malaysia, fast and reliable - currently i am using their service.
  3. Time to hit the HYIP programs. Choose reliable HYIPs to invest your hard earned money. You have to make your own research such as retrieve information from HYIP's forum and monitor site, looking for their payment history and ect. When you are satisfied and confident, then make your final decision to invest. Open an account from HYIP's site, but sometimes there are HYIPs that not required us to open any account to invest with them.
  4. Happy investing and make more profit. Good Luck!
