Making Money Online Is Not For Everyone

  • Sharebar

So as I am writing this post, I have remembered how many of my friends were so much fascinated about creating a blog and living a majestic life out of it. And of course like many people, they were disappointed to see that the money isn’t really easy. I admit that I even thought it would also work that way and feel I can get rich online. Btw, this is not my first blog. I have a basketball site that I am really writing a lot because I’m a big fan of basketball.

So getting back to making money online, I think it’s quite simple. It’s NOT for everyone. That’s the bitter truth. When I started the venture of making money online, the first thing I did was the adsense thing. So, literally I became impatient. I clicked my ads, encourage my friends to do it thinking that the best search engine won’t caught me. I got $136 and was banned even before getting it. That’s just one of the super duper many things that have flopped so bad for me.

Right now, I’m making money through affiliate marketing. Not really big just about $200 a month. And looking back to the past, I’ve realized many things. That’s why making money online is not for everyone. Sure you’ll find stuffs there that says “build a blog and make money” or “get rich quick”, but the truth is most people just sell those craps to make money themselves. Just put my case here, I am a great basketball player (at least that’s what i think) and I believe I can be successful someday. So why its not for me? Simple, because I’m a weak man physically and the world is just so competitive that I can’t even get the opportunity.

How about you? Do you think you can succeed with what you’re doin/dreaming?

      Well for me, it was easy. It takes some time though ans I’m anyone can do it if they are provided with the tools on how to make money online. Clicking your own ads is a form of cheating and cheaters will be punished.
