Ethical Business - does it exist?

I searched for the 'Push-Button Online Money Machine' for years - you know the one that requires no work or effort on your part, but will mysteriously ping commissions to you in return for your bank details? It's blue, shaped like a pig and has wings - that one.

Eventually I stopped buying glittery stuff and started to build my own business - with some help from other people who were already successful. I was shown that our two resources are time and money. If we don't have much money starting out (and who does?) then we have to spend time.

I was shown how to focus down on two or three great traffic methods, become an expert at them and send the traffic to a high-converting sales funnel. And I was shown how to keep on doing this every day until I had a residual income. And guess what - it worked!

My personal opinion is that people have been doing business for thousands of years, and the way they succeed is to build trust, offer their products and find the people who want to buy them. The internet hasn't changed that concept of business at all, it's has just made the market place more accessible to more people. You still have to do the work - just like the people who offer you the amazing business opportunities have done. Each and every one of the people selling this stuff has done the work, learned the skills and put them in to action - just like you will have to do eventually if you want that success.

Some are more ethical than others, but the fact is that your moral standpoint is your affair, you choose how ethical you want to be. Business continues as usual.

I'm an old-fashioned guy and I like to be accountable for what I sell people, but that's just my value system.

I'm sure there are some fast earning schemes out there which will earn some cash in the short term. If you find one please send $1000 to my PayPal account as proof. I'll be waiting.
