HYIP Investing: What You Need To Know

 People often ask me what is HYIP investing and why is it so popular? HYIP investing is called High Yield Investment Program and is an investment in high yield return opportunities, whether it is the Forex market or a bigger investment program. It is so popular because you have the potential of making a very good rate of return on your capital; much better than a bank or mutual fund investment.

Risky is the name of the game in the HYIP arena. If it
were not risky then the profits would not be as otentially high as they are. HYIPs come and go and the investor must understand that you should not spend more on these investments than one can afford. Not only do programs come and go but there is a lot of corruption in the community.

Scams are a big problem for the HYIP industry and can be very prevelent. The lure of easy money and taking advantage of people causes a lot of unstable programs. Always do background on the investments that you want to join. There are many resources for this such as forums or HYIP monitors. Programs promising returns that double your investment the next day is probable one to watch out for. Send emails with questions to the admins and check their contact information.

This leads me to my next subject of Due Diligence. Make sure you check out and investment program efore you invest your hard earned dollars. How long have they been around? What do other users in the forums say about the investment? Do they have a quality, professional looking website? Do they have legitimate contact information; email, phone numbers, fax numbers, address? What do HYIP monitoring sites say about their payouts? Alone these questions help, but if you can put them all together, then you probably have a solid program on your hands. There are tools out there to help you along, HYIP forums and HYIP monitoring sites.

What is the best strategy to use when investing in
programs? My personal preference is to use diversity. Spread your capital around to several programs instead of just one. That way if one fails you do not lose all your capital investment. A lot of small profit when added together equals a big profit.

Secondly, do not get over excited about a paying
opportunity. What do I mean by this, well just because it is paying well do not sink all your capital into this right away. Be patient. Work the strategy and it will pay off for you. Stay diversified; watch your programs and you will see a good return in the long run.

Always take your initial capital back out. If you have
invested 100 dollars and you make 5% per week you will earn 5 dollars for that week. Do not reinvest it; always take out your earnings until you get back your original capital. Once you have your original capital back, you can reinvest your earnings or compound your earnings.

Supplimenting your investment portfolio with HYIP is smart and profitable if you stick with your plan. Patience is a virtue.

Things To Do Before Investing Into A High Yield Investment Program

We have compiled a short list of some of the things you can do before investing into a program to make sure you get the most for your money:

1 - Search all HYIP forums for the name of the HYIP. Check for people spamming about the program, as this usually is a sign of a short lived scam. Look for people's opinions. Often those who have been investing in HYIPs for some time are the ones with the best insite. Most importantly, look for complaints of people who have not been paid.

2 - Do a search on google. Copy small parts (1-2 sentences) of the text from both the hompage and the page with information on how they make their returns. Paste it into the google search bar with quotes around it, and see if anything comes up. A good amount of the time, google will return results that are an exact match, usually a professional traders website. Also, do the same thing with any images of people that are shown to look as though they are the admin of the program. Simply get the name of the file that the image is uploaded as by viewing the properties of it. Then paste this into the google image search. You will be amazed that a lot of the time you will see that the image is a direct copy from another site. This proves that the admin is lying.

3 - Email the admin. Ask some good questions such as, where are you located, how long have you been around, and how do you make your returns. The common answers you will receive are United States, 2 Years, and Forex trading. Usually if these are the answers the admin is lying to you. about 75% of all new HYIPs claim that they have been paying members offline for over a year. 99.9999% of the time this is a lie. If an investing firm is able to deal with members offline for 2 years, there usually is no need to go online with their business.

4 - Look at the main HYIP rating sites. If it looks like a program has been cheating the ratings by voting for themselves, or it looks like they may have hired a paid voter, then stay away. You can usually tell if a program is cheating by trying to look at what else each member has voted for. Also check the voters IP, maybe the cheaters were not careful and didn't use a proxy

All in all, if you follow these 4 steps you will likely be saving yourself a descent amount of money in the long run. HYIPs are extremely risky, and these steps alone do not guarantee success. They only improve your chances of walking away with profits.
