What are the best ways of investing money and getting high yield returns?

I need a certain amount of money monthly in order to pay my bills. I don't feel right leaving a large amount in my checking acct. as it does nothing for me. Other than sit there. If anyone has any ideas for me, I'd appreciate the input. Thank you.

Don't go for stocks. Since the stock market is not going so well, overseas investments would be the best choice.

Starting a small business would be the way to go if you have time.
Alternatively try to invest in someones business. You may receive up to 20% guaranteed interest a year. You will not get such high guaranteed returns on stocks, mutual funds, bonds or CD's.
If you invest $10,000 at 20% annual interest rate, you will get back $12,000 in 1 year. I run my own business and my net profit is over 5% a month.

Best of luck!

If you are looking for higher yields now then look for corp bonds with a AAA rating from moodys
