Russian term

зарабатывайте в России

Non-PRO Russian to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities
Dear Colleagues,

My question has little to do with terminology. Still, I hope that you will help me solve the problem I faced. On the homepage of the website I am currently translating there will be a phrase: зарабатывайте в России. The website is aimed at attracting investors from abroad. Due to its location on the web-site, the phrase is supposed to draw a lot of attention, so it should be translated especially carefully. I thought of the variant: Make Money in Russia, but I'm afraid that it will sound too colloquially and won't be appropriate for a financial organization. I also have some doubts about the verb "earn" - Earn in Russia/Earn Money in Russia because "earn" is associated with being paid for labor and not as a result of investment transactions. Should I write "make profit in Russia" or anything like that then? Or "make money" today sounds neutral for native speakers? I appreciate your advice.

Make money in Russia

As a native English speaker, I think your first instinct is correct. "Make money" in this sense could well be used on the sort of website you describe.

Invest and make money

I don't mind Jack's variant, but I feel there is a need to highlight the fact that this money is earned thorugh investments and not through real labour or office hours. That's why I would rather say:

Invest and make money in Russia or
Invest and make money

Profit from your investments in Russia

Sounds more formal than "make money" and less heavy than "invest and make money". IMHO, naturally.
