So, you have a little extra money and aren’t quite sure what to do with it. Well, you’re not alone as there are literally millions of people out there right now who have the desire to invest money in something (in order to make even more money) but don’t know where to start. Fortunately, we have a few places that we think you should start looking into that may be perfect for investing money. Interested in seeing what they are? Scroll down!

Websites

Nowadays, most people don’t realize that even websites that don’t sell a product or offer a service still make money. That makes websites great for a potential investment. You could either buy well established sites (or sites that have promise) or build your own sites and then sell them. Either way, this is something that you should research if you want a good investment opportunity that isn’t typical or common. A good place to start is Flippa.

Real Estate

This one may be a little more expensive than investing in websites but the potential is pretty much unlimited. You also have the option of buying a home that is in pretty rough shape, fixing it up, and then flipping it for a profit. Although very risky depending on where you live, a lot of people still make their full time income by completing this process over and over. Be sure to check local regulations though as you may need a special license.

Stock

Now we get to the most common way to invest money: stock. This one requires a ton of research and if you’re serious about learning how to invest and making a significant piece of money, you’ll want to monitor the stocks you own like a hawk. Stocks change every single day and one day you could be poor and the next day rich. It’s a very risky game!

Local Business

Finally, the last place we’d like for you to look is right next door. Chances are, someone you know has a cool idea for a business they’d like to open but maybe they don’t have the cash on hand to do it. That’s where you come in! Invest in their business (or buy part of it) and not only will you potentially make money but you’re supporting both small business and the local economy. We’re also pretty sure that your friend will be thanking you forever.

But of course these are just starting points. There are tons of investing opportunities out there ranging from movies to products and everything in between. It’s up to you to pick what you want to invest in. After all, it’s your money so spend it wisely. Never jump into anything too quickly and have a backup plan in case your venture fails. Other than that, we wish you the best of success and hope that your investing adventure is a good and fun one!
