Two great "AHA!" moments that taste great together...
AHA! moment #1...
Whether something (biz model, tactic, etc.) "makes money" or not, is a very POOR factor when deciding whether to proceed, or not. Yes, of course you want to make money (duh). But there are many other factors that need to be considered BESIDES whether it (whatever) "makes money" or "will make money." Point being, there are many things that "will make money." But one must also consider things like --
will it LAST? -- or is it just a flash in the pan?
What is the "headache per dollar ratio?"
What is the "TIME per dollar ratio?"
Also, just plain ROI (duh).
And many other important factors.
So, proceeding on the mere fact that something will indeed "make money," is NOT a good or complete way of judging the worthiness of the biz model, tactic, etc.

AHA! moment #2...
If LIST BUILDING is not an INTEGRAL part of the biz model, tactic, etc. (before, during, and/or after), then it is probably NOT a good "ladder" to start climbing.
______
When looking at the various 'biz ops' laid out before you in this forum (+ in your biz life, in general) THROUGH the filter(s) shown above, you will see things much more clearly! And, thus, the better path will be much easier to proceed along!
The wheat will separate itself from the chaff!
Cheers.
