If you are generation digital you are faced with some many temptation, all of them promising to earn you loads of bucks, fame or fun. 100 ways how I didn’t earn a fortune is my take on this whole make money online world.

Let’s face it, earning money usually is hard work, no matter what you do. Some people are gifted, others have to do a lot to keep up with those, but an old saying is, “No matter how gifted you are, you will always be kicked in the butt by someone who works his ass off.” This saying is so against the 4 hour workweek, or whichever propaganda you will read. No matter how people make money, most of them work hard. It takes time and effort to do something, it takes ideas and it takes dedication.

Maybe 20% of the action lead to 80% of the results, but, and that’s a big BUT, you have to take action.

Now I have been talking about temptations, snowball systems, online gambling, affiliate marketing for whack products, there are plenty of big markets, and there is money to be made, there is only one thing you have to understand, whatever sums you may make with marketing some fad diet product, or playing poker for a few hundreds or thousands of bucks, it’s not you who is winning, it’s not buyer or loser who is winning, it’s the company offering the products. Those companies. Those guys are making the money while you have to put in the effort.

I am not saying this is bad or wrong, it’s just that this is not really for me. I dislike people who sell some whack diet stuff, or get people addicted Casino games in their gambling rooms. That’s why those ways are not for me, and why I choose the creative, giving route to earning a living online.

100 Things that did not earn me a fortune will be a series about all the things I have been trying online, examining their money making potential and giving a radical and honest opinion on them. Don’t buy into everything you read, not everything will make you rich in a short amount of time. To get rich quick, you have to be lucky, that’s all.
