I'd probably still be doing some sort of marketing, because it's fun and I'm able to help a lot of people. Now if only I have the intelligence/brains...

What would you do if there was no air? To take part in this exercise here is my 2 cents.
There will always be a medium of exchange like there will always be air as long as people are on the planet.

If money is your motivation you are doing things for all the wrong reasons. People throughout history have chased money only to be disappointed.

I build houses. I love construction and the results it produces as an end product. My love for the process shows in the end results. I sell them to families or rent them.

I grow corn on my farm. For my efforts I want to produce more corn than I plant (yield). I feed it to my chickens and pigs to produce the best meat my family can get.

I sell each with the expectation of profit (yield). My motivation is not the money. Building and farming are my motivation. In exchange for my efforts money is the by product commonly referred to as profit.

There is no such thing as.... Internet Marketing. Marketing is marketing whether online or off. The major difference in how we apply marketing principals is the business model we choose. No matter what you produce marketing will be necessary the same as money ( medium of exchange) and air for survival.

Here's another perspective...

I am a real estate investor. I have money so money is not a motivation to me.

I only do things I love to do and learn how to make a profit doing it. For example: If I loved fishing I would set up a fishing charter service. I would love to take people fishing, show them what to do to catch fish.

My greatest profit would be seeing the smiles on their faces when they caught a cooler full. For this day of fun I would collect my fee. Money or no money... I would make a profit doing what I loved to do. If you do this...YOU WILL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE!

Personally, I love being on my farm.Riding the tractors and messing with the animals. My profit center is letting others hunt on the farm. Talking hunting is a wonderful past time for me.

I will not do anything I don't like to do no many how much money it pays.

Always looking for the best service providers on Warrior Forum.

If money didn't matter, I would not bother doing silly things. I would rather concentrate on spiritual facts and focus on after lives. And make sure I make everyone happy everywhere.

No, not when we could all be living a happy, healthy, well-adjusted life... like those people in Afghanistan. Or North Korea. Or several countries in Africa.

Amazing the mind-games people play with themselves.

If money did matter I would have to figure out a different way to impress the ladies... Just joking... (no but seriously!)


As much as the above statement was a joke, has anybody read Chapter 11 of Think and Grow Rich? I know you have... Just planting the seed for you to think about this from yet another angle.

Its universal truth that everything done by the human being are about 80% for money. A person may drive a taxi, doing a job, business, we are here at IM. so all these are for obtaining money and to fulfill their basic needs which is impossible without money.
May be some people doing activities like charity organization but not all people. I think people should admit that money is necessary and all we are doing is for money.
If we see then love, friendship, relations are also mostly done by the people while keep in mind the position of the partner.
My wording may have harsh someone emotions but its true and should think about it.

If money didn't matter I would still do the Internet Marketing things I do now ... I just wouldn't be as stressed about what 'some' people (non-Intenet Marketers) think about what I do, and about the times when I compare the cost of some marketing methods to the low return rate.

What I got from this video, is that there's more to life than just money. So the question was then asked what if money didn't matter? I say it wouldn't matter if money didn't matter.

Money is simply a tool used to properly distribute the resources that exist. Another system would take the place of money and the same question would arise once again. However to not take the question literally and understand the implications of it, my answer would be there would be no difference.

By removing money or the need of money, you aren't removing the desire to obtain it. And by it I mean power! Power and money is interchangeable for that's whats obtained when it's accumulated.

In this world power is used to obtain resources, by any means applicable. And if death and the sickness of human life is what's needed to obtain it, then so be it. In order for the implication of this video and this question to truly be answered, or rather for such an ideal to be possible, we must change our way of thinking.

We must change the way we feel towards calamity, genocide, starvation, and manifest those feelings into actions toward a solution. If human life is our priority, if the life of your neighbor outweighs the cost of your cell phone bill, then and only then would money not matter.

It is people who matter. In fact, it is life. We instinctively seek power and equate it with money. If we transition what it means to have power from something bad to something good, then obtaining power would be beneficial. What if power dictated, who can save the most lives today? Or who can feed the most hungry? Or who could cure this rare disease first?

Money isn't the root of all evil, it's ignorance. By truly understanding what matters, and spreading that knowledge to the people. The world will be in a state of benevolence oppose to malevolence. Thus prioritizing every living soul over money.

Nice post!

In fifteen to twenty years, we could reach a point where money does not matter. Futurists say that by then we will be able to create artificial intelligence more intelligent than the entire human race combined, and a little after that, capable of increasing its own intelligence, or of creating other artificial intelligences more intelligent than itself. This is the point of singularity. If our creation is benign, then it will solve our material needs by creating what NASA used to call the Von Neumann machine, or the Santa Claus machine -- a machine capable of replicating anything including itself.

With material needs solved, the only remaining thing at a premium is creativity.

https://www.facebook.com/v/448877845163126
If money were non existent, then I don't think marketing of any kind would exists so Internet Marketing wouldn't exist.

If money wasn't a problem (i.e. I was already rich) then I would probably spend my time similar to what I was doing in highschool. I would skateboard and/or snowboard a lot, smoke a lot of weed, and try to get laid as much as possible; I would also go to college for fun and take classes I was interested in, and maybe learn computer programming and hacking for fun.

My dream was actually to become a professional skateboarder when I was younger but that never happened. And that is kind of the problem with what he says in the video, to "follow your passion" so to speak. He is suggesting to do what you really love and eventually you will become good enough at it that you will get paid to do it (I think that's what he was said toward the end of the video). But the problem is only very very few people become good enough at what they love that they can make a living at it. For example a lot of kids in highschool dream of becoming a professional basketball player, football player, rapper, or whatever, but only very few actually are talented enough to make a living with it. And that's why most people end up doing something they don't like, or only somewhat like. They realize they aren't going to achieve their dreams from highschool and so they get a normal job. Or even worse, you are doing what you love and are so good you are ahead of your times and don't make any money, like Van Gogh, he only sold one painting in his life and it was to his brother, he struggled to sell his paintings his entire life.

You are really lucky though if your passion is something academic like computer programming, math, or science, or something you can actually get an advanced degree in and get a good paying job in.

I'd still do marketing. I love being able to coach people I've never met and enjoy that, whether its strategy or on specific software like Magic Submitter, Spin Chimp or Market Samurai (it's what I've been doing for a while now). But my main focus would be: Studying Ninjutsu (and one day teaching) as well as Scuba diving and teaching that. Being under the water is just sooo beautiful and peaceful. If I could grow gills I would.

What if Superman Designed The Google Wonderwheel?

Marketing is part of trading whether its online or offline. And trading means exchange of things which could be anything. If there is no money still there would be something to exchange or trade because it's not possible for someone to have everything. Think about a simple example, if there is no food what will you do with your money or any other trading method to get food. Every human being have different things available as per their residential locality and ability. And if you are talking about non existence of trading then i believe, instead of calling ourself Human we would have called us Animals because we would have not exchanged ideas, technology or any other daily life needs. So where there is need there is trading or some sort of exchange that could be with money or without money.

So answer for your questions ends here, as per the scenario you are asking any sort of marketing and WarriorForum would not have existed and you would not have asked this question anywhere.

Can't access the video.

But the way I see it, money is just another tool. Like any tool it's the way we use it. The way we use it is determined by how we understand it.

The economical system has been made complicated so we can't understand it easily, let alone getting rid of it. Meantime, it's setting the rules of most of our lives, and our health. Mind you, a virtual tool... numbers, paper, computers... how disturbing.

I see two questions in the thread's title: What if money didn't matter to you?
and
What if money didn't matter at all?

What if money didn't matter to you: either you have a lot of it, or none at all. You care because you are involved somewhere in the middle.

If money didn't matter at all today, most of the people wouldn't go to their job and we would quickly need to find something else. Pretty much without electricity, transportation, security, health care, you name it. And almost no food or clean water. Society will have to get a new face through a hard crisis, but I'm sure it would be a more... human one

We could learn a lot from these "primitive" tribes that are treated harshly because the way they think and live is not part of money system. Before they get decimated, too.

For every time we spend money -or earn it- we cast a vote for the way we want things to be.
