But what is high yield investing?

Do you really need to make 2% daily? The banks give you 3%-4% yearly - up to 5% - 6% at best cases. The mutual funds rare can achieve more than 20% per annum. Everything above this is pretty high yield.
If you can achieve 50% - 100% per year or 5% - 8% per month, you already have found the perfect high yield investment. And if you want to share it with the others, you can create the perfect real HYIP.
Achieving such figures is possible.
The range between 20% - 100% per year or 3% - 8% per month is enough to motivate you to look for other people's money AND to attract those money / investors. Such rates should be the target of the realistic high yield investor. And there are only few steps from investing yourself to leveraging your profits by creating an investment club.
