Russian term or phrase: зарабатывайте в России

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.

Explanation:
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.

Asker: Thank you very much.

15 hrs confidence:

Invest and make money

Explanation:
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

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