Tips that I personally think you should consider before dumping your money.
For ICOs
Always check the whitepaper / development teams background / what does the project does? Unique Point of sales.
Do your research be it it's ICO or any coins you're Keen to invest in.
NEVER EVER LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO ASKS U TO BUY (EXAMPLE COIN)  always research on it and what the future holds for it.
Always check for good and bad reviews and decide yourself.
It's your hard earned money therefore it's up to you to invest or not.
Always keep your private key and other sensitive details to yourself and never share it to people. There are many scammers out there who tries to grab ur money heartlessly.
Enjoy the space and be safe!
