Investment Sites – What to Look For

A Wealth of Information

Investment sites can be a wealth of information for the investor. When you look for these sites on the internet, you will usually find that there is a place on the page where you can subscribe to information by entering your details.

Most information is based on email and the email address you submit will be used to send you information and further links to subscribe or purchase products. The information you get should be of value. If it is not of any value to you then unsubscribe and you will receive no more emails from this source.

Methods and Cost

The information you get should be of value in two or more ways. Firstly it should inform you of the investment methods used and give full description of all details that may be required of you to participate.Secondly this information should tell you of any costs that will be associated with the methods used to participate. Misleading information can be illegal and be the source of bad publicity for the site owner.Thirdly, some sites give value in there information by providing full methods and a step by step how to instructions for participating in the investment. They can also give referrals from other clients that have participated. Referrals from existing clients are a good source to check the validity of the claims and statements made by the site operators.

Besides the information you receive via email subscriptions, the web site should also contain information that can assist you in your decision to participate. Such information can again be in the form of client referrals or statements outlining the product information.

A Contact Point

The site should have an address or point of contact to refer questions. Often the site will have this listed on the bottom of the page or on the about tab in the menu system. If you do have any questions about what is being offered you should direct them to the specified address, phone number or email address.

An investment site should be easy to read and navigate through. It should not confuse the reader with information overload. Often readers do not have a lot of time on their hands and only need to understand the basics of what is being offered. The site can be bookmarked or a simple email subscription can be used so that the reader can get more information to read. This can be used at the reader’s leisure to get the full details of the offer. A point by point description of the offer is often best used on the investment site as this quickly gives the reader an outline of the information on offer.
