In any field of business, you really have to take the risk to succeed. Without the risk you will not have the determination to do more beyond what you can do.

Falled behind a little bit here!

@Bruno: Good stuff OIO is the real deal when it comes to advertising!

@Jeremy: I think risk is always proportional to what you have available to invest. FOr some, 5K is a small risk and for some 10$ is a big risk…

@Mocha: Yep, nice way of saying it

@Ron: Welcome to the blog buddy! I see mate, you seem to know what you’re talking about. Too many people will invest 20$-100$ here and there without any knowledge I agree and that can easily lead to disastrous results.

Small investments can start adding up into significant sums. Granted, if the ROI is there, no problem, but I think far too many people spend $20-$100 here there and everywhere, and get zero return for it, other than for something to sit on the shelf. There is also the time aspect involved….. evaluating one hundred $10 purchases, will likely take much greater time investment than a solitary $1000 investment. Then again there is the matter of diversifying risk as well. One size doesnt fit all.

As far as risk goes… done the high risk thing, got huge rewards one time out, and lost a shirt another time. It comes with the territory of startups. I will say though, recovery from a lost shirt is a real headache, but the worst part of it, is the much increased levels of risk aversion. Thats the killer imho.

I don’t there is any major risk involved in starting up a blog or even providing free services such as writing plugins or themes. The definition of risk comes into play when stakes are high! For example, when you want to take the blog to the next level by spending heavily on ads, probably you are taking more risk.

Usually, high risk ventures will have high returns as well.

Well, you know what they say about the man who never took a risk; nothing because he never accomplished anything. While I dont think you should gamble everything, you definitely cant hold back everything either. Jennys last blog post..Scrapbooking Templates 101

I too am moderate with lots of experimentation (perhaps that came out wrong), but I used to be “not moderate” with lots also…bad move, find an even ground

Let’s say I was once like Jack…

Without risk you never get any of the rewards. I have the oto too but I need a better design which i'm working on at the moment so I can maximize my advertising Bruno Augers last blog post..Internet Marketing with Affiliate Landmines

@Hussein: Yep, OIO is one of the best investment I’ve made so far. It helps monetize and really 30$ was a small investment considering you get lifetime updates of the software.

@Clogmoney: Thanks buddy! I must agree the “buy a flip” move was a pretty risky move and I post it’s going to pay off! Well, I’m sure it will. Maybe you won’t see the results right away, but it’s all about positioning yourself in this very particular niche MMO is

@Dan: Yep exactly! Of course the point of taking risks is not to lose money so if losing money is a bad habit for you, being careful before investing and taking risks is the key

@Leila: Totally agree and thanks for your positive comment DigitalPoint Forum is a pain for that. There are just so many posts about how to get rich overnight and just too many people wanting to get rich overnight without working…
