wanna know more ideas  :D :D :D

simple: if the business is giving you good amount of profit!

if it is someone else's business, you research about their past and their business to see if it is good, and if they have a good plan and invest.

and if it is your own business then it is a bit different because your business idea is the most important part of it. and then the persistence and how much you work on it is the other important half.

Everything worthwhile has it own attribute and most time investors are blind by fictitious promising give by claims business funders. To me the first thing I look unto is the life span of the said business. Second thing I look unto is returned on investment. Most important thing I look into is the people behind it. Never invest in a ponzi business and returned on investment that is not real. If you want to go into business yourself then you need to develop your skills and knowledge on how the business you want to go into work.

first i only invest in mining and some good alt to dump them later, and only when you see a good amount of hype around it, i only invest when i see that the pump that might occur have a great chance to occur

you see pascalcoin was recently pumped and there was a very high hype around it, it was bound to happen almost no risk, the hardest part is when you go out after you enter in play, no onw know the top of the pump

Well of course you have to feel confident about where you'll be placing your moneg on and ita a lot better if you invest in something that you're interested in so it won't feel like a burden in the long run. It doesnt have to be big earnings at the start as long as it gives you a feeling of security be because you know that you're in the right field of business

aiming build bussiness is profit and if you were placing your money to the particular bussiness and got profit steady i think this is the right bussiness and not difficult to recognize it and in my point of view that i will do bussiness if i have good knowledge regarding those kind of bussiness because build a new bussiness with no knowledge will only makes me huge loss

I usually invest in ICOs. and I never invest in ICOs which start early. I always wait and see their way of working and investments..
when I see the ICO is almost successful and it can give me a good profit than I'll invest in final weeks of that.. it will help me to secure my money and give me good profit..

Sometimes when you invest the price goes down... but if you are a long investor and trust the fundamentals of the asset, you should hold.

Warren Buffet is known for his investments going down for a while, then getting big profits in the long term.

Of course if you are a trader you want profits as fast as possible.

I always check companies owner information.What is his pasts and domains validity etc.And I check peoples review and Google that always.Many newly arrived companies offers high profit with low investment, I don't believe them at all because those most probably are scammer.I like those who are in online for long time.

I liked to play with Pascal these days. Volume is crazy and it is obvious that people are making a lot of money. I think, if Bitcoin price will stabilize, more wild dances are coming in altcoins  ;D

Although there are no safe investments in which I have at the back of my mind, because a particular site with nice and commendable reviews can start scamming very moment you joined in. This is true because its what I have witnessed and I ended up losing money. At the same time one cannot be oblivious of the  importance of doing due diligence as this will guide against entering into a pit to a large extent and the community is the very best source I go to and Google reviews is another potent source...

Where governments are involved, if they are bad at everything they aren't bad when it comes to security and money, but if talking about shizcoins maybe iconomi because if they run away people will find them and either kill them or send them to jail since they have revealed their identities and personal information.

I'm sure that there would be tons of people replying this thread saying that "You know you've invested in the right business if you're making good amount of money." Well, they're not wrong. But in real life, business is not all about money. You know that you've invested in the right business if you feel comfortable with it and you get this feeling of excitement and joy whenever you think of your investment.

I don't know what business you did invest on since you didn't mention anything about it but most businesses also require good relations to other business of the same field. So, you might not be earning that much at the start but when you finally have built relationships to certain people and customers, your business would surely start earning good amount of money.

You don't maintain only your business but you also have to maintain your relationship to the people behind all that success. You have to maintain your relationship with the people that helped you build it up. Because if you don't, then it would be really hard for you to pick up when you started losing money.

Yeah, this is quite obvious but I believe business mostly requires investments and not having any profit for a year or so. After that you may know if it was worth it but the money is already spent. I think we all risk when we invest money and that's why it is best to invest in something which is important personally for you to be developed. Even if it won't bring you money, you'll at least know you did something important.

Well you should know that in the first place. You cant just enter an investment if you dont know the investment that you think that it could give you good profit. You better have a study the investment you are going to enter. You should look for reviews of that investments. You will know that the investment you've entered if they are paying correct amount base on their system.

For me this is simply Knowledge, the level of knowledge you have about a business or investment opportunity is going to help your decision making, this decision will just be crystal clear that you have made the right choice but if you don't have adequate knowledge on it there will be cloud of doubt in your mind

Are you investing/starting your own business or other persons business?

If it is your own and you want to know if it is profitable to invest or venture in that kind of business, then you have to make your feasible studies. That is the only way you can know if it is worth it to invest on that business. Or start on a business that is already your hobby. For example, if your hobby is biking, venture on business that involves bikes. You will make money from something that you would love to do.

If it is other people's company, you have to check their quarterly or annual financial reports. Companies who are in the stock markets usually have their annual reports available online. You can see on that reports the current status of the company, if it is gaining or losing annually. You can also see there the direction the company is going. If you are comfortable with company status and direction, then you can invest on that company.

Lol! This question doesn't make much sense to me. Well, I would like to answer.
Investment is not joke, it doesn't mean playing with money! One invest in the field where one has interest. Suppose investment can be in government securities, debentures, bonds, shares, mutual funds and bla-bla.
So, one's investment is on right place influenced prominently by one own choice. However, it is never possible to guess whether your investment guarantee return or not! As investment is subject to risk and risk can't be ascertain in advance.

If I know the business of mine much then I considered that as a right business, well it should. No way I will choose business which I don't have any knowledge since it will just wreck me in the long run even I saw others getting profits in the said business.

If profits are well maintained and operations are always successful in majority of the given report time at regular basis then who will say that Im not in the right business. If on cases that it's really avoidable to face the risk of having business which you aren't familiar, then make a way to make it a "right business" and erase all doubts as a single day is important in every business.

take a good look at https://lykke.com/

they are offering shares/equity

and was founded by a very well known forex broker - Oanda

if i am enjoy with the investing then i think i am in the right path and i will continue until i can see the profit then i will sure and confident that i am in the good way, and if the profit is almost ended, i will make another investing so i can make more money.

Ergh.. Profits?  :D

You invested then what you like next? Of course to have profits and get back your capital faster so that if ever something happened to that investment site or that business you are fully safe already. Next is trust, if you see that all of that is done then you can invest again from your profits. That is how it will circulate until it grows larger.

There is no sure way to determine if the business you want to support will bloom, but there are couple factors you have to consider.

1. The product or service you are investing in should be needed.

2. You have additional resources in case you will need to help the business succeed.

3. The timing of is right also the best idea is to aim for the niche of the market.

4. You know that the business is good, simply because it can provide the product or service at the right price.

Besides the obvious (finding a business that will profit from what it does)
you need to take some extra measures when it comes to spending btc bcs
there are scammers everywhere :)

First of all if they accept some type of escrow this is a good sign.

Even if everything seems normal always know that if it sounds too
good to be true it most probably is a scam (eg 300% ROI in 2 days :D )

I dunno, after that it's all up to your intelectual to decide what's right and wrong.

For us to find if it is the right business. Well check first the profile of the business or the specification, the project must be promising and very achievable for the investors. Then check the people behind the business if they transparent to their aim, and goal target. Afterwards, the ROI return of investment must also be given at the time said. So if that happen and you earn smoothly, I guess you are in the track of business you get in.

What kind of business are you talikng about? You are giving a vague definiton, hard to answer this, business can be a lot of things. But if I would choose something to invest I would check the rates tehy pay investors, if it really worth, if it's a legit business with a good reputation in the past, if the business is alive for a good time, what they do to make money, things that proove they are legit.

Basically, it's easy to know.

Is there a market for that business?
Can I supply the demand for that something?
Will it be profitable to do?

You just have to view it from the perspective of your target market. If you'll be offering a business without customers then that means you are going to fail.

Not only that the business is giving you profit.  This business should have all the necessary documents need to run a company.  Have certifications and have been running smoothly.  Aside from that, if they are investment company, they should be recognized by the government as that. So knowing that you have profit, the company have complete documents and license, and running smoothly, am sure you are in the right investment company.

Good company profile is mandatory here with clear definition how the system works, team profile and the proof if they do a thing which will growing your amount there. If the business proved something shady leading to ponzi, you should avoid it.
How professional the company build their platform is need to be considered.
Every kind of investment business will offered profit. So you need to selective. Don't be greedy to something offer 20% daily or ect, back to the basic, RESEARCH FIRST.

If you invested say $1,000 in a business and then you received $100 in the first month and then $100 in the next month it is still unclear whether your investment was good or bad. People who invested in a Ponzi scheme get similar "profits" during the first months but end up not getting back what they invested. So if you want your investment to be a good one you have to carefully investigate all the facts about the company you invest in and especially pay attention to the feedback this company receives.

I do not think there is a way to find it out with certainty.
I think it's important to gather enough informations before the investment is made.
And keep collecting informations once they have your money.
Of course it would be an advantage to invest in a field where you already have some experience.
But in the end, it's always risky to give your money into foreign hands.

Even there is no specific way to find out, by closely watching for some longer period we may get chances to identify a true safe businesses by understanding their money generating process. I mean the conventional business are easy to identify but some new concept business are very hard to find out their credibility. But, close watch may get us proper answers.

simply, I count my capital first, then I count how much I get. if the second amount is higher than my capital, then I get profit. it means that the businees I am running is good. just it. easy peasy jappanese.

I don't care about anything, I mean what kind of business is that as long as I know it, as long as it's earning and I can pull out my capital if I want along with my earning. The only way you'll know it is if you have knowledge about where you are investing, better not invest if you have zero knowledge on a business than losing money in the long run.

I dont know how much you understand white papers, they can help. consider the people behind the projects also. I dont do research but have a friend who, find trusted friends or mentors who can take their time to research and approve a profitable business, their experience can make them see flaws of a project. Investing is still a risk use your spare fund and know the right time to cash out

maybe i can give some example. we make a business like exchanger for our friends, they sell and buy bitcoin from us, we give a rate that will follow the market exchange rate, we can take the difference from the rate, i think it will be nice if we can take profit from this. if our business have to grow and many friends of us using our service, then we can know that we are in the right business and we can continue our business to gain more people and the most important is we can introduce bitcoin to other people too.

First of all, what kind of business are we talking about here? is it online or the real life businesses? if it is in real life, well, all you need to know is, are the product you are selling in demand, or are your partners trustworthy and transparent about the business and what's happening in it? and is it legal? The answer to that will tell you if you are investing at the right business...

In online business, I don't trust anyone and that is the reason why I don't invest in any online investment anymore, I have a simple bad experience about that...  :)

I like this topic and will look through others responses, for me If the team is achieving  the set roadmap for each goal, this is very important, when a business start failing to meet the set goals the sign is bad, another thing is transparency, is the team transparent with their books and figures.

I usually compare the price and the values and if there is any negative difference between them (price < value) then I usually invest in such business or investment opportunity. There are many businesses out there which are far undervalued at this time and they have the potential to fetch good returns in the future so if someone is backing such businesses in early phase then the returns are usually amazing but yes, risk is always associated with it.

That depends on your preference, if you invest to risk in other's business then you should ensure that the business is stable or if it is starting up, they have a good vision and mission. You must ensure as well, that you are putting your investment in a business where your passion can be use, and most of all is that you will be able to enjoy it. That is the secret to last in investing, it is not all about money but the perseverance to succeed and you will surpass all the trials if you love what you are doing.

Whenever i am investing i would understand the market on the basis of which i would invest .and people should read books while investing in it .the most important part is that when u see profit in it u will understand that ur business is running the right direction and u have invested it right.

If it would be your own business then it would boil down to projected profits when you were planning your business as well as the actual profit when it's already running. You don't get into a business you won't earn much and you don't stay in a business that's not earning well.

As for those that you are buying into, you better check their history and how they run the business.

Before investing you should make a research first on a certain site, the information needed you to know to prove that the company you are planning to join is a legit one or another scam. There are lot of monitoring sites out there so you will know if it is really paying...

To know that we are investing in the right business it actually is the most important must have a plan. Before an investment is better to set goals and target of investment, in addition to looking for the kind of investment that is in accordance with the wishes. Once it begins to understand and study the investment (including risks), it is advisable to invest in a place that can be trusted. So the right investment is an investment that can be trusted and in accordance with our goals.

If i talk about bitcoin, because now a days, i am investing my money into crypto and it really give me profit. I started investment in bitcoin for last year, and now i feel i have done good. Because i bought bitcoins into lowest price when bitcoin was under $400 and now i sold them when bitcoin was $1025, So you could guess, i have done good in investment wise because of bitcoin.

Trading bitcoin does not get you this active, it keeps you watching the coinmarketcap but if you try some altcoin it gets you engaged and you gain more experience in trading a short while. it also opens u up to information on innovation in cryptocurrency.

If you invest in altcoins and you make exchange buy/sell orders then this is the risky part.
Because you never know how high or how low will the exchange rate go, and I lost a lot because of high dumping.
But if you invest in ICO then this is another thing, you should risk and search more about the project how it is going.

If we tend to choose on ICO we should really find important informations and deep research regarding on that coin because its not really easy to choose the profitable ones because there are lots of coins to choose from.If you select the wrong one then say goodbye to your money.

You OP can now if you are investing on the right business if you get good profit for it for a long time. For example, you started altcoin trading and you are always having a good profit in every trade, it means that investing on altcoin trading is good for you. Also, you would know that you are investing on the right business if you can see that you are not being tricked or scammed by someone except altcoin trading since there is many scam there.

The first thing of course your investing must earn profit, stable profit is more important than big but unstable profit, and if your investing not earning any profit at least it got future prospect, in other words in the future it can be earning the big profit and make sure that you invested in a legit site

You woudn't really know until you try, after some time, if you feel satisfied with the result and you reach your goal with that business. It's always about taking risk, big chance is if you see the potential before investing. However, still not an assurance of a success because it also depends with the person who works for it, who gives time and effort.

It is difficult to perform analysis on the altcoin markets. Many coins sometimes appear to be in the ATL, but after a while they continue to fall in price. If you intend to invest in it, I think the best thing to do is to study and choose the best cryptocurrencies, then expect bad news to emerge, because that way you may have the opportunity to buy at a lower price. After that, sell when you have a chance to make a good profit, but don't be too greedy.

Well investing in a bussines involves a lot of risk on its few months of course you will not know if it will be succefill or nor but If the bussiness have a clear vision and goald and proper plan execution most likely your bussiness will succeed ! This is just base on experience If I think that the bussiness don't aim to anything why should I Invest ? ! however if I saw the bussiness has a direction why I shouldn't invest! Well this just my opinion it is still your choice to accept it or not

as long as the business is generating a revenue and giving you an income which is exact to your expected amount also if there are risks involved but only a little then that would be a good indications that you are on the right investment . and before getting inside an investment there are any other things that you need to consider not only those things that I already mentioned and in choosing a business that you are going to invest you need to make a further about the certain business and you need enough capital .

People interest on something that can made profit , for example : common investment like gold , have land or apartment that can be rent.
Once you have this chance, you must not let it go since this business is promosing. For another example : bitcoin , become the most fenomenal investment I've ever seen !

Unfortunately, there are lots of ico that are worth investing while others are likely a scam.
What an ICO makes looking trustworthy is the team behind it and the estthey use.

The team won't be telling you much, as the teams behind a former successful project usually backs that project till the end and has no need to create another one. A team that made multiple projects and none of them went viral is by no means a better one than a completely fresh team with no experience, at least in the crypto market where you either go boom or bust. Also, an experienced team doesn't guarantee the project won't be a scam.

Then tell me how to estimate or understand that an ICO is successful and is not scamming their investors??
Nothing is guaranteed when you invest in ICO but the food team, good bakers, can bring some sight that this is not another scam.

Since I started in here in this forum on bitcointalk I invested most of the in the legit ICO altcoins and do some trade in the exchange platform by simply buying other coins on which I think it has a potential value.

Well if you're going to pursue trading, think proper research should first be done before you start. Some people realize that trading is for them the first time they complete a trade ehile some take time and a couple of losses before they get the feel of it.

in any transactions risk is really there we just need to extra effort and researching whenever trying to invest. Investing in sites or companies that ensures the growth of  your money is what we really,not those who offers a lot but didn't have a very trusted rate. We prefer investing in more trusted than not having any return ,so be extra careful.

Absolutely agree, getting 10% return on investment from a trusted company is always better than expecting 50% from any new or untrusted company. Not every company will dupe the investor but it is rare to find the highly trusted company with highest rate of returns.

Well, before you invest any amount, there's only one thing you need to do: research.
Look up their results and check if there are any negative aspects about the business that you're choosing to invest in.

After you've invested, make a spreadsheet and log all your profits!

If it has many investors. It gives the right profit from your investment, not too good to be true. It already works for many years and still developing many projects or plans to improve their business. Its owners are very transparent to its investors. Then i an say investing in that company is worth it and my money won't be wasted.

If the business is depending too much on  hot money (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hotmoney.asp), i usually skip it. For example: Anything related to tourism, banks, restaurants, shops, real estate, press, transport... All of those are depending on someone else's money. They don't actually produce anything. They are replaceable. Everybody can do their jobs, they can go "poof!" overnight. (so do your stocks)

If i was to choose a business to invest my money in, i would look for if its a unique business. Ask the question:

Can it be done by other people? If you answer; "widely, yes" > then its a shit business.

"Only by some educated people." >> Investments can be made.

"No." > You found gold.

For example: Would i build a coin mining  rig?

Answer: Hell fckn nope.

Investing in the right business means that you should know what you are putting your money into. Investment should not be done blindfolded but with eyes wide open and with brain functional. In short you must first check the background of the company that you are investing, check its track records and after knowing its credibility check also if it will give you good profit and if it is stable.

But it can't give a guarantee about the project will be running for smoothly, Too many the project with a lot of the investors are turning into the scam project in the future and run away with all of the investor's money. That's really bad in my mind.

One of the best to consider in business is time. Some business requires too much time but less income and some requires less time but much income. If the business you're going to invest requires much time be sure that the income will be big because if not you're time will be wasted because instead of doing other things(job or work) you will just focus on something that is not worth the price.
When it comes to prices, I'm making sure that the business is legit. Many businesses online offers a small investment but a high return rate to trick people. Sometimes I put a leap of faith first before I invest because even I don't know if these business is going to last. What important is that I always learn something along the way.

The track record structure financial statements, accounting records viewing the business in person.
There are a lot of means to viewing if the business is worth investing in for developed companies.
It is start-ups that are much more challenging as people make money but can also drain money from a business, sometimes negative capital exists because they have large scale investment costs they are recouping etc which is why start-ups tend to be looked at from a growth metric point of view but sell that on the Dragons Den and they will kick you out if you want a loan.
In the end investing comes down to preference your appetite for risk and what your looking for in the long run for yourself and the investment.

i think continuous study and analysis can make you know about your business that either it is on right side or not. i think you need to do analysis continuously.

Yeah, you can easily find some reviews on some website that is giving you the option of investing in, but making the decision of investing in new small business is the hard part because they could be scams and take your money, but websites like btcjam offers a platform for investors to find legit business.

I can say that Im investing on the right business first Ive done with thorough research and analyzation about the whole business Id like to invest in. If this business will make profit and continuous gives earnings that will return your whole capital or funds. This things I can say that Im in the right business.

progress, profitability, worthwhile and legality. Investing is right if we see that we are making steady progress in it. Progress speak in volume to our investment decision senses many people are investing into a ponzi business today without measures the progress of those business and at the end of the day lose their investment.

I guess, research on the site will be the best thing you can do to secure the legality of your investing place.

Unless it's an innovation that has a HIGH potential, there's no reason to invest in a new business. You should analyze first, and then invest if it all looks 100% good. Even if it looks great as an investment and even if it's the safest one you've done, never hold your money in just a place. I learned this from my father and it has a good logic.

You can't just find which investment is the best and go with all your funds. As I said, you have to analyze before taking any step. Any investment has the risk of failure, and although it might be even 1% or less, it's still possible to happen and you can never know if it will or not. Look at the billionaires - they're always buying stocks for many companies, not just one. If they knew one company has no risk of failure, they would put all their money in just a stock.

Taking these steps without any analysis and simply from your prediction is exactly like gambling.

Reasearch and i think you have to have interest where you're investing on becausenit would be a lot easier for you to do research if you already have skme information about your potential investments.

When your income exceeds your expenses and you can afford to realize all your material desires. You sleep peacefully and do not worry about your business.

Research is important since that is the most basic and the first step in doing an investment and we call it background check. After doing some background check the next thing to do is to evaluate your skills and resources over the business system so you can gauge if you can really go on with the business with your capacity. Next thing is to check the return of investment, we need to do this so we can be assured that we dont waste our time over business that has low ROI. The last thing is the after effect, after doing the three steps it is always necessary that after some time that you are doing the business you are having a good profit and having a good time, if it missed one aspect then its better to find some alternative ways to earn.

You can answer this question with your own commonsense since you would really see that you are profiting specially on longer runs already then you can tell that you are on a right business but be still prepared anytime on the possible circumstances might happen ahead because we do all know business do really experience problems.

Not all people are knowledgeable about investments.  There are people who are excel certain aspect but actually have no idea about invetment and right company for the investments. 

I would say that if ever a person wants to have a legit investment, he should have done a thorough research.  The company should have all the necessary legal documents and are abiding the law of the government about investments ventures. This will guarantee that the company will not run with your money and be able to give you the profit they promised in their TOS.

If you want to verify or to know that you are investing on the right business then look for background informations of the company especially the team behind it and also look for people's or investor's feedback for that site if that site helps them a lot and also check if they are saying good feedbacks or not, because of that you will know if it is a good business.

Research is one thing but trading sometimes can be more like educate guessing. There were many crypto projects with great promise which in the end failed miserably.
I feel pity for everyone who invested in project like DAO or PayCoin. DogeCoin is considered a fail too, sometimes you need more than a research to succeed.

True, looking for information on place or company is a great way to know that we will be investing in the right business. In addition, usually a place or company that can be used for investment and can make a profit is that has stood for a long time (usually more than 5 years) because the place already survived a long time certainly has experienced the ups and downs and can handle it, it indicates that this place has a good performance and worth for investment.

One sure source of information that I have discovered is the community as this is the whole conglomeration of any information that have to do with online community. The moment the community is going towards a direction about a particular investment, then its worth looking into not to invest out rightly but to do analysis on and decide whether to go forward with it or not.

that is what internet is for :)
you use google or any other similar search engine to find more information about the investment you are about to make. as you said in the second part "research" about them and if you find some good reviews you go to the next step and if you found something shady you stop at that point.
there are also experts that are giving consultation to others about investment.

Yes, there were many people who were victims of ponzi schemes, and loses their money. OP you better research on the background of the place you are going to invest on. Do not be mesmerize with their high exchange on small amount of you investment most likely they are the one who are scammers.

All you have to do is to research. Not just from once source, but try to get more about the history of a company that you are investing. The you have a conclusion to put investment there or not. Because at the end of the day, your investigation and legitimacy about a company would be the best source of facts to help you establish your conclusion. So before investing your money, you have to invest as well on doing a proper research.
