Research and analysis

Now that you’ve read the important bit the next step is to identify the real money making programs. There are a few points that I use to determine whether it’s worth investing in a program or not, this is known as doing due diligence.

"Due diligence is going in and digging a hole in the ground and seeing if there's oil, instead of taking someone's word on it,"  Joseph Bankoff

The one and only criteria that if not passed and I don’t care how much they can make per month be it a low 10%-25% or even 100% per month is whether they can identify themselves.

                                To show yourself and tell me who you are.

This means, I want to know your name, your address, your phone number, scanned passport, drivers licence, utility bill, co corporation certificates, trading accounts…..the whole lot. If they can’t do any of this then I’m going to automatically assume they are a scam and stay away from them, there’s no point investing and always worrying whether your money will be there tomorrow. You want to be investing with a peace of mind knowing that you can check back 5 months later and they’ll still be there. If I’m investing, I want to know who is dealing with my money and that means providing me with information on who you are.

My next step is to study their performance rate. I will look at previous track records, current track records. I will then search for information to see if people have been paid. I do this by searching the major forums, looking for the specific threads. I just won’t just take any post from a user credible, they have to be respectable forum members and sometimes I judge this by post count and whether they are a moderator of that forum. I know some would argue

“What makes you think they aren’t the program admin trying to make us think it’s a good program “

It’s a valid and respectable point but how many times can you say this when a potential legit program comes along? How many times will you say this before you believe they are legitimate? A person could just say that forever but sometimes you got to take a “gamble” (if you want to call it that) to reap the rewards. With that frame of mind you might as well forget investing for your future. What would they gain from lying about the program…..nothing. Moderators just don’t do that. That’s what I honestly believe, and part of my judgement relies on other respectable forum members. It’s all part of my due diligence. As with everything in life if you want advice for anything, sometimes you need someone else’s opinion.
If I can do all the above and get positive feedback then I will jump into the program and I wont lose sleep. If for any highly unlikely reason your still not happen even with the proof then do not invest. You have the right to be a confident and informed investor that doesn't’t have to worry. It might be an opportunity your are passing up but ultimately having a peace of mind is the most important thing to a person. That is why it so important to find all the information you can before you invest.

To help judge what programs I will be investing in I also use blogs that other people have written. These blogs are usually from informed investors. I consider them experienced because they have the same mind frame that I do in investing. The blogs I use before I start investing are from members of

All 3 members are respectable and I trust their info and judgement. This is not to say I don’t do my own due diligence and this should be the same with any investor. Do due diligence on someone else due diligence. I also google the program and try and find info from other forums such as http://www.moneymakergroup.com/ Search all forums and ask questions if unsure, make phone calls if you can, visit them. If still in doubt just monitor the program and let others report back. That should help you with your decisions.

For each program you decide to invest in you should use all of the above methods to research.
