Gambling & Investing
Isn't stock trading the most lucrative kind of gambling? Traders gamble on share prices whether they move up or down by a cent! Yet trading in stock exchanges and forex trading is considered by many people as investments! How about sports betting or even poker? If you have an edge against the opposition, you'll most probably make money in the long run, so those too can be considered investments. However it needs more than a winning system to become a profitable punter. Discipline, devotion and patience will be tested. Simply trusting your money on investment advice by experts won’t teach you how to handle a long-term downswing. Maximum drawdown will bring the available bankroll to its knees and few investors find the courage to continue.
Investing in computer technology is inevitable. I nowadays trade, bet, invest and blog from my personal office desk shown above. When everything can go wrong in investing online, you’d better be prepared and spend money in reliable hardware. Gambling is already quite stressful and unreliable technology will prevent you from making money.
Domains
Since I created my personal website, I started learning about how to buy and sell domains and also how to develop a website and actually make money monetizing it. You start with a single domain search and end up making tens of domain name registrations in a single order, so that you develop them in future and not letting other webmasters get a hold of that excellent domain name! Everyone soon realizes that domain registration was the easiest task and website development and advertising actually consume most of their time.
I ended up investing in domains and installing content management systems such as Joomla and blogging software like the popular Wordpress, in order to monetize new websites using either Google AdSense or affiliate programs. A couple of my devoloped websites are shown above and include both English and Greek websites.
