Make Money Doing Nothing

[yves]

Hi,

The make money online isn't one of my niches but I just had a look in the google keyword tool to see what keywords were searched for.

The keyword "make money doing nothing" is searched for 3900 (broad match) and 2900 (phrase match) ha ha ha.

I can't believe that many people think it is possible to make money doing nothing??

Maybe it's nice to live in such a fairytale world.

No doubt many of you have come accross this kind of keyword countless times but as someone who doesn't deal in this niche, I was astounded.

[Mark Brian]

It is possible but you have to set the foundation first. You work hard in the beginning then bum around in the end.

[Steve Longoria]

lol, and i'm sure there are some people that are plenty happy to sell them the dream of "making money doing nothing"... but you're right, unless you're a trust fund baby, doing nothing = no money!

[mastermoog]

Ha ha i agree it is absolutely ridiculous! However i think perhaps when these people were searching for that phrase "make money doing nothing" they could be thinking about Passive Income and didn't know how else to say it..

Wouldn't we all like to make money doing nothing?

That's one of my targets for my retirement and why
I'm setting up a system that generates as much
passive income as possible.

i think most of the people out there really think of Making money by doing nothing...but, will it be very boring if we doing nothing all the day??? People just do not understand how boring will it be for all the billionaires out there if they are restricted to do nothing everyday....they will die very soon...haha

Yep, good move.

There's definitely something to be said for the old passive income. And all the hard work is without doubt worth it, especially if you enjoy the work.

But for the poor "make money doing nothing" folk it's gonna be a slaaap in the face that's for sure or perhaps they are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy

lol, yeah you could be right, for some of the searchers anyway

[Daniel E Taylor]

It's because people are programmed to be greed based. Hence
why people want to get money without providing some sort of
value in return.

That's why they will never make any real money with that type
of mentality. I call it a Greed Based Mentality. How can I Get, Get, Get,
without giving anything in return.

Lol, that's true.

Easy pickins when you're a billion dollar heiress

[mastermoog]

Thanks to the greedy the smart people who are working hard make some nice cash

[Chris Drinkwater]

Wordtracker comes up with just 6 searches for that phrase, anyone know why? I'm interested in why there is such a huge difference.

LOL...she's hard at work doing nothing!

The goal of all of us should be to own cash flow streams. Not be working in our business, but having our business working for us.

Your ultimate goal should be to have your online businesses working in such a way that you can walk away for 1 year and come back and your business would be the same size or greater when you get back.

How you achieve that is the issue.

[Will Edwards]

And I'll tell you something that's really interesting - this thread is on Google page #1 for that term!

Some days I do nothing and I still make money. If I did nothing every day that would run out sooner or later.

You need to have so much money that you can't spend the interest to truly make money doing nothing.

Not totally true is it Jon? I mean she screeches a bit, shaves her hair off, gets drunk and flashes her lady area! So noy quite nothing!

[Richard Tunnah]

Back on topic. I think it's hard for many to make money doing nothing. I know a few that do less than a days work a month. They're mosting either retired multibmillionaires that like to dabble or people that have a large property rental portfolio and pay someone to mange it!

So you're saying Bill Gates may get by then?

[InternetMarketingCenter]

And how many of you went and tried to plug that phrase into your salescopy somewhere?

[femkeshe]

I always thought that those strange searches were made by affiliates in that particular niche?

[yezbick99]

Looks like you have the right concept.

Have you read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiysoki.

-hope I spelled that right.

* He talks about the ability to be able to live out of the Rat race. In other words be able to live like you were retired all the time.

I think this is possible for anyone. The hardest part is getting is set up which starts with living on less than what you make and using the remainder to purchase or build cash flow streams.

4 different types of people out there which are discussed in his next book Cash Flow Quadrants.

Employee
Self Employed
Business Owner
Investor.

The object in a whole is to get out of being an employee and become a business owner & investor. Basically increasing the passive income that does not require your personal time or engery to keep it going.

Ha ha, now that's internet marketing at it's best!

Isn't having your money working for you doing nothing?

Doing nothing should not be your goal in life under any
condition. You die quicker.

You can work yourself to death, but you can also idle yourself to death!

-Ray Edwards

[jeremiasmunn]

That is funny it can't be done, unless when you are starting from scratch no, you need to give something to get something back (money). There is not such thing as a free lunch, you are either investing money or time.

That's totally different. Building an automated/passive income business
isn't doing nothing.

And I'm willing to bet people who are searching for "Make money doing nothing"
aren't talking about building a business that allows them to be hands off.

That requires work and doing something.

[Runner26]

I believe there are far too many people who would do a search for that term seriously. Combine one or more of the following and there are lots of suckers/dreamers/clueless/naive people out there. We all want to believe that the "too good to be true" statement could have an exception. Some samples:
- "I'm a good person so I deserve it"
- MLM - Network Marketing parties give rah-rah stuff about how anybody can be a millionaire
- people still expect all kinds of 'free stuff' on the internet
- some people think the government should provide for all they need
- some believe they should get a free ride since their parents dealt with hardships

But these people are our customers too. We need to educate them that you have to invest time, money or both for real value.

hmmm . . .

Maybe it is one person typing it 3900 times a month

No, because that would be doing something.

Who wants to fund my research study on making money doing nothing?

Make Money Doing Nothing

It's already at Google's page 2.

[AfteraDream]

People will probably be always looking for quick fixes.. that's our nature...

[honestbizpro]

It really is our nature, or at least to become as close to automatic as possible.

I think once we have all our strategies in place with some good management tools and employees working for us we really will come as close as we can to achieve it without a big inheritance.

[Biggy Fat]

Hey people, cash in with that keyword LOL. Write an EzineArticle on it and let these braindead, lazy people know that they have to work for the money.

I bet you ANYTHING that around 90% of that 3900 people are people aged 12-16. They know they don't want that McDonald's job or whatever.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: There is no such thing as automated income. If you can prove me wrong, do it.

[MelissaChurch]

People certainly have screwed up perspectives of what it takes to make money, don't they? I agree with Biggy Fat...they are probably all teenagers! Might be worth an ezine article or two to see what the market is like.

Yes, maybe that'd get the matter sorted tout de suite!

I think this thread might do the trick with its increasing rankings.

[JaniG]

and i bet there are people out there selling prodcts that claim to make them money doing nothing..

and people actually buy it

There's 25000 competeing pages so it must be a reasonably lucrative term

Really? LOL...

[StageREM]

I think even a trust fund with a pulse has enough common sense to realize somebody had to work and build the foundation that their money was created on but then again....maybe I am wrong hmmmm

Make money doing nothing but buying lottery tickets, maybe.

LOL! I had already done that before even reading this far into the thread!

There is no such thing as an 'instant automated income', unless of course you win the lottery and chose to take the yearly installments...but on a serious note, there is such a thing as an 'automated income'...Just think of every Fast Food Franchise OWNER..they're making an automated income from the initial investment and work done years earlier and are now just kicking back.

As for the comment about being able to 'idle yourself to death'...if I was some rich ass lottery winner, I can assure you I'd be off doing a whole lot of nothing and thoroughly enjoying myself!

In the UK I reckon that approximately 20% of the population make money doing nothing - those of us with jobs lose a huge chunk of our income paying for it.

Andy, you are absolutely right. i can't believe I didn't think of that one!

Just thought I'd let you guys know I decided to give this one a shot. Here's my new site. Let me know what you think ...

The closest you can get to making money doing nothing is to pay people to do the work for you.

For example, pay for someone to do keyword research, create a product, build website, build a list etc.

That's why providing a service can be charged for the most - you do the work so the client doesn't have to.

But why would you want to make money doing nothing?

Doesn't it take away a sense of achievement. How many marketers here value the sense of achievement at least the same as getting money?

If you get money by doing nothing then they will not get a buzz from their first sale. How sad is that.

Believe me when I tell you some people actually want their life to be like that... And they'd be happy. For them, work is like a tragedy. An inevitably of life. They have no desire to create anything, to change anything, to influence anything.
