Time
Time is an important factor when it comes to investments. It is commonly said that time is money. Investing the right time is when you will really make a lot of profits. To invest at the right time you have to be very observant. Let's take cryptocurrencies as an example, about a week ago Steem was just around 80 cents, but as I am writing this article it is currently close to 2 dollars. Looking at vertcoin too, it was about 2 dollars a month ago, but currently at about 8 dollars. This how investment works even outside crypto currencies, you have to be observant - monitoring market prices.

If you are not good or do not have time monitoring market prices there is also a way out. You could consult a financial expert, or in terms of crypto, a crypto analyst or trader. You could follow their blogs, discuss with them and invest at the right time.
Another thing about time, is how long you are willing to invest. You do not want to put your money in something that is very risky when you need to money soon, or you will end up making losses.

Where?
This is another point to note. Let's say you have some money lying in the bank and you want to get it busy. You will have to think about where best to put such money. With regards to where, to solely depends on your objective. If you need a short term investment, arbitrage will be okay. For long term investments, you have to look at a market that is abut stable, like real estate, treasury bills or even some cryptocurrencies.

Risk
Most times the higher the risk the higher the the returns for your money. Perhaps a reason why some people end up doing ponzi schemes. I would advise you stay afar from ponzis. Investing in cryptocurrencies is risky, but the returns is really high. So you might think about your risk tolerance. If you do not want to take risks, crptos is not for you. Nothing in life is certain, even life itself is not certain.
I am open to suggestions, I definitely do not know it all. Thanks for reading :)
