🚨RISK REDUCTION RULES🚨
On my journey to making a positive impact wherever I go, people ask many many questions.
So, one of the most common questions after "how do you make money online?" is, "how do you know which companies are safe?"
Well there's always a risk, but here's a few precautions you could take. I've listed my top 7 Risk Reduction Rules below:
- Check the company background, such as company registration and the reputation of the CEO.
- How long has the company been running, and is it well established?
- Is there an online community of active members such as forums or Facebook groups, and not just fake testimonials.
- What's the Alexa rank, is it in the top 30,000 and has it been rising or staying steady. Once you notice a gradual decline, it's time to CASH OUT!
- Don't be fooled by REGISTERED documentation. It's easy to get a business registered legit, and scam people later.
- Fake CEO or company images. Check if the image has been taken from somewhere else by doing a pinpointed Google image search.
- Golden rule: only invest what you can afford to lose. Never invest your life savings, or risk your grocery money!!

Hi, followed and upvoted, thanks for the tips, there are so many scams out there, nice to caution others. On another issue, which originates from fraudulent data mining, here in South Africa, many have been victims of unauthorised debit orders, will be sharing my story soon.

You will find it perplexing that our country ever allowed tele-sales as a legal mandate to debit our bank accounts!
