Be wary of advisors. Many get commissions for getting customers to banks and investment agencies.
The % you get in a savings account is low, but it's pretty safe. If you're going to invest without making investing your primary business, you might want to go with a plan that guarantees you will never lose your initial profits. Especially right now - the markets are somewhat instable at the moment, and a wrong move could easily lose you loads of money in the near future.
