Just one baffling question

If there are so many easy, passive methods/systems, etc to make $20K+ month working 1 hour day/week/month, Why does everyone else work so hard trying to sell to businesses, e-commerce, real businesses e.t.c.?

Shouldn't everyone just be setting those passive money makers up and playing on the beach all day?

Doesn't add up.

    There isn't an easy way to make money online. Any method you choose requires a lot of hard work and effort.

      What you have seen is probably like one in a hundred or a thousand. There are many people who make it online, but there is even more people who are struggling.

        There are skill sets that are required to make it off line...there are different skill sets that are required to be successful online. MOST people do NOT have the discipline, extra money & creativity to make it online. Have you noticed that most of the CEOs of start ups are highly educated. If is a lot of fun, but make no mistake it is WORK. All these gurus that claim you can make thousands working only an hour a day, ruins it for the NOOBS.

          You use the name 'squidface' - post one snarky comment after another....and people are posting serious answers?

          New owners seriously need to get the search and history functions fixed on this forum. Trolls are running rampant.

      hahaha, spot on!

      WSO`s are getting used as a tool to grow a list fast and earn some money on newbies as well.

      After a little research online we learn that they really earn their money on their WSO`s (and their backend), not in the product they are selling... it is sad.

      BUT It does exist WSO`s with great value, remember to always take a backround check of the author

    Doesn't make sense to think too much about it either. Avoid time wasters, like all the nonsense offers out there and you'll be miles ahead.

    Most new internet marketers are taught to sell affiliate programs. I am referring to those ones that pay them a one time commission.

    That is why you see them promote those affiliate programs. That is what their mentor has taught them and that is what they are doing.

    Long term, any affiliate marketer MUST have some sort of a residual income source too in their arsenal.

    I think the marketing of such a method/system, etc. has you confused. It is possible, but it takes time. Owning a real business, regardless of what niche it's in, requires real dedication. Making it look easy, is.. easy.

    The hardest part of making it here is the decision to make it. Nothing more, nothing less. You are right, it doesn't add up! If it did, the WSO section would be just one post.

    The problem is not with the programs (though some are junk) it's with the people.

    Everyone wants big bucks but they are not willing to do anything to achieve it other then buying some "secret." When they find there is more involved then just clicking the buy now button they move on.

    Any type of business takes real hard work and deadication. 99% of the programs/offers are rubbish. But if you have a good work ethic and a proper well thought out business plan you will succeed.

    You've really answered your own question.

    Building any type of business, online or offline, requires dedication, and mastery of a certain skill set that allows you to provide value to another individual/company.

    Anyone who tells you different just wants to take your money.

    Yup, you got that right. There is no easy AND sustainable way to making money. Anyone who tells you that they are making passive income is lying. Either that, or they spent months and years building up a sustainable business model before being able to get a high income.

    Most of the WSOs nowadays promise the world but underdeliver anyway.

    The truth is that life is kind of like fishing.

    Sometimes you're a fisherman... And sometimes you're a big fat juicy trout.

    Ask yourself, and remind yourself of that next time you see a bright shiny object.



    (A lot of people will get mad here and think I'm hating. I'm not. It's truly the cycle of life. Be weary of bright shiny objects... Or next thing you know you might bite something that you hadn't wanted).

    How to combat that? - Only look for things that you personally WANT and NEED. Never "browse" the bookstore so to speak. ONLY seek out a book if there's something you want, or if there's something in particular you'd like to learn.

    Yes. You can tie fishing metaphors into all walks of life. (Love, finance, golfing, chemistry, farming, you name it).

    Stay cool.

    Do you believe everything you read?

    Often attached to those same products are disclaimers such as 'Results NOT Typical' and 'I'm in no way telling you that you will experience what I have experienced"

    Of course, in small barely readable print at the very bottom of the page.

    Don't expect to get rich quickly, easily or with little work on your part. It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of knowledge. And initially, it'll take so much work that you'll wish you'd never started.

    But once you get beyond the first year or so, you'll begin to realise that it's certainly worth while.

    Hmmm this argument has come up before, but let me ask you this. If you could make almost as much selling the how to as you were making from the original passive method would you bypass that extra income.

    Because I can tell you that playing on the beach all day gets boring
