Cryptocurrency investment

Looking for high risk investment programs for quick bucks? Well, you are rather lucky. Cryptocurrency investment is a great source of work from home opportunity in Malaysia.

Plus, cryptocurrency is very popular among the younger generations. For example, I know quite a few Malaysians who earn decently thanks to buying and trading Bitcoins on Luno.

Bitcoin is a good investment but it is one of the riskiest as well. There is no guarantee in how much you can make. So make sure you perform investments smartly.

Forex

Last but not least, forex is something I am very keen on. Forex comes in many forms—forex on mobile apps and international forex investment companies.

Earning money on forex investment is just like investing in crypto. You need to understand the market and prepare for the worst, since you have a high chance of losing the money.

In my personal experience, I invested around RM 2,300 into forex and in under 6 months, I made around RM 4,500 (that’s RM 2,200 in clean profit).

Having a good gasp of the market (and some gut feelings) are important for you to make money with forex (and earn money from home).
