A 'Wide-Spread' Way To Invest Your Money

You’ve a bit of money...

And wondering how best to invest it.

You see, due to the council department he works for closing shortly, he’s expecting a redundancy payout...

"I’ve only been working here for a few years so redundancy will be minimal, perhaps £3000.

"I wanted to know about the folly of taking this £3000 and using to purchase a couple of the most interesting products and using them to create an income.

"I am an intelligent Uni-educated bloke who isn’t prone to taking mega risks so do you think it’s possible to build this with £3000?"

It’s worth mentioning too that Jim has never invested in an alternative income opportunity. This’ll be the first time he’s ‘taken the plunge’, so to speak.

I wanted to share Jim’s story with you because I think the answer is an important philosophy for anyone who wants to grow their income.

My advice to Jim is this...

A ‘wide-spread’ way to invest your money

If you’ve got some money set aside to invest as Jim has, I think it’s important to spread that money across a number of opportunities.

I mean, Jim’s not the only one of us that isn’t keen on taking ‘mega risks’.

But by spreading your investment, you also spread the risk.

For example, I’d personally pay £1,000 of it straight into a longer term savings account.

The payback on this will be negligible but the risk is incredibly low. (Although, with banks these days it’s still not as low as I’d like.)

It’s boring, sure.

But having locked away that £1,000 in a low risk investment, you can then look to invest the rest in opportunities that carry greater risk but could return much quicker on your investment.

Right now, I’d personally spare £1,000 of your remaining capital on an opportunity like Richard Hill’s Forex Net Trap System.

Costing £247, that leaves you a starting bank of around £750.

With a system like Richard’s you can start trading day to day with small amounts ‘per point’.

That’s exactly how Faye started for example...

"I have been trading for 4 weeks now with just £2 per point. I am happy with the system and have been consistently averaging 11 points per day which is in line with the averages from the monthly trading profits you mentioned in the sales info."

Faye’s up to £10 per point now and still going strong.

OK.

So, you’ve now popped away £1,000 in savings...

And you’ve put aside £1,000 to invest in a daily income accelerator like Richard Hill’s Forex Net Trap System.

Making the most of books and bookies

That leaves you £1,000.

Again, you can spread this further so that your risk is reduced and your opportunity to profit increased.

£200 I’d invest in second hand books and look to sell them on Amazon.

You know I’m a big fan of this as an income stream and when I keep receiving emails like this one from Paul and Lulu, you can see why...

"Hi Glenn, I now have about 80 books on Amazon, but the ones I want to tell you about are really cool! I bought a copy of ‘Command Fitness in 4 Weeks’ for 25p and was GIVEN a Tales of Narnia 7 book collection in mint condition.

"Firstly, the Commando book sold to a sailor based in Somerset for £9.85. Next day the Narnia book set sold at £90.00! Altogether this week I received almost £115.00 in my account. Cool part time hobby or what?"


For me, second hand bookselling is one of the cheapest and easiest income streams around.

(If you haven’t already, you can spare £37 of that £200 to pick up a copy of my guide to bookselling. Pick up a copy here.)

You’re down to £800.

But you’ve already got money in a savings account, you’ve got money working for you on a daily forex system and you’ve got money steadily generating profits in bookselling.

You’re doing pretty well.

But still, I’d spread it further - really get a good few income streams going...

In fact, as you’ve hit up a financial-based system and a more alternative income generator like bookselling...

I’d spare £700 to invest in a sports tipping service like Harry Moran’s Sports Profit Accelerator.

I told you about this a fair bit last week, (Remember John B. who was £4,000 up after a ‘cautious start’?) so I won’t go into it too much.

But as it’s less than £200 to subscribe to, that leaves you with a starting bank of £500.

That’s smaller than is usually recommended, but again, by starting out real small you’re limiting your exposure whilst still actively developing you’re bottom line income.

The final investment you should make

You started out with what might have seemed like a relatively small investment to some people.

But from that £3,000 you’ve set yourself up with four different income streams of all different risk levels.

You’ve got locked in savings, you’ve got speculation on the forex market, you’ve got investment in a tangible business like bookselling and you’ve got a safely limited exposure to sports betting.

You’re set up pretty well.

Hold on, though. You’ve still got a ton left. If my math is correct, there’s £100 still in the pot.

And do you know what you should spend that on?

Yourself.

Some new clothes, a slap up meal, whatever you like. Just make sure it’s something for you or a loved one.

Because the whole point of these investments is to make you more money so that you can live a more financially comfortable life...

So, as far as I’m concerned, you should give yourself a little taste of it straight off.

And with that...

You’ve allocated the whole £3,000.

But you’ve done so in a clever way that has the potential to turn that £3,000 into a lot more, whilst still covering your back with a wide range of differing risk.

That’s the key principle here.

However much you have to invest, make sure you spread it across a range off different opportunities so that you’re able to limit your exposure to risk.

Do that and you’ll soon find yourself in a much healthier financial situation. 

Best Wishes,
Glenn Fisher
