What Kind of Investment Do You Have?

Correction please: Not all investment is money or money-related. Investment is defined as an asset or item that is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in value at some point in the future. Real estate is an investment and so is your house. Of course, we can include jewelry, gold and silver, cryptocurrency, art, antiques, paintings, private business, stocks, money markets, certificates of deposits, annuities, money markets, government bonds, and mutual funds.

An investment that is not money related and doesn't need you to buy anything is Time.  Investing time is a good judgment call and that includes defining specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives that an individual aims to achieve. When you're committed to achieving specific goals, you'll focus your efforts on what's important and avoid wasting your precious time. Investing your time means engaging in activities that are calculated to bring you meaningful rewards. 

If your specific goal is to be with family (quality-wise or quantity-wise) then you are a step in the right direction. Spending time with family allows you to develop valuable life skills such as family fidelity, obedience, commitment, and good communication. Children can build healthy self-esteem and learn communication skills and problem-solving and communication skills from their parents.

Blogging is another big investment time-wise (you don't need any purchase) but it can bring you some good rewards. It can take anywhere from 12 months to 2 years before your blog gets monetized and you clearly see any significant results or earnings.  If you expect to make a blog and you expect to earn monetary rewards right away... you are in for a big disappointment.

Owning a website is another investment that uses time ... and can reap profits. Millions of websites generate revenue every day. The rule of thumb is .... in order for the website to become successful ... is to have it earn some revenue or get monetized ... and the secret to achieving that is TRAFFIC.   

Traffic refers to web users or visitors coming to your website from social networks and social media platforms. For example, a person who clicks on a tweet or a Facebook post and then arrives on your brand's website will be counted in your digital analytics reports as social traffic. The more visitors you have the more income opportunities will be presented to you.

Another investment is Website Flipping (investing in websites that are already making money, then you improve them either by increasing the amount of traffic that visits the website or making more money from the same amount of website visitors (or both), then selling the website for a profit.
