The Truth About Online Profit
We are a herd of sheep, patiently waiting for a new pasture to mangle. For years, we have been squeezing ever single penny out of innocent purchasers and downloaders and companies. For years, we have been trying so hard to make a profit on the internet. Some of us are doing it for extra cash to spend on extraneous items. Some of us are doing it to try and make a living. It's a last ditch effort for some, it's a matter of convenience for others. Regardless, if you are reading this, you've tried, I can guarantee it.
I can also guarantee that you have failed several times. Maybe you still haven't found your method. Maybe you will give up soon, positive that you will never read about the one thing that will make you money for the rest of your life. Regardless of the situation, here comes the secret. Nothing that you will ever read online will make you a large sum of money for an extended period of time. And here is why:
In this day and age, people find working ideas and profitable niches that last for years once in a blue moon. These methods are always whitehat. Blackhat methods are notorious for generating huge streams of cash, and drying up or disintegrating quickly and immediately. They never last long, and those that do typically lead to legal issues once caught. Whitehat includes real business ventures. This is where the profit is currently the most reliable. More on this further down in this article.
Methods are "shared" on internet communities constantly. Where do they come from? Why do people share their methods? They don't, plain and simple. Over half of the time, the methods shared are stolen from other places on the Internet, typically very obscure places, so the new contributor can take the credit without the risk of being eradicated. They steal these methods to either profit themselves from referral links embedded within the method, or to gain credibility with a community.
The other half of the time, the method is legitimate, but either dead as dust or saturated as water. People share them with the best of intentions, after they have stripped the method of every penny that they possibly can, and the time spent implementing does not equal the revenue made from the implementation. But the method simply does not work any more. These methods, more often than not, are shared as ebooks, so that the creator of the method can reap another small profit bubble out of the idea by scattering the ashes to fellow profiteers.
Regardless, no shared method is a method that will work for you for a long period of time, generating enough revenue to equal out the time spent to spin the method and make it their own. It's a simple fact, and it's true 100% of the time. If you can find it online, free or paid, it has been used and abused to the greatest extent, and it's trembling naked in the corner, waiting for the next person to come by and try to give them a wild ride, eventually getting bored and frustrated, leaving impatiently, grumbling about how they were sure that this was the one. It's not, it never is.
So what makes the lasting income? Unique, passive middlemanagement. It's a simple concept. Find a niche that is relatively untapped, and set yourself a home. Find a distributor who is selling a physical item that is of value to a large population for a price lower than they typically pay. Create a site, market the site, and sell the same item for a higher price, buying from one market and selling to another. Keep the profit, outsource the work, get highly ranked on Google, keep the site running, and repeat in a new niche to multiply potential.
It's easy, it's whitehat, it takes time to set up, and it works. Make yourself the sheep that succeeds. Stop searching for new methods that in any way resemble something that won't work for a long period of time. The best way to decide if a method is moral enough to work is to ask yourself this: Is this something you would tell your grandmother about? If not, then move on. With the world in the financial crisis it is in, there is no way to honestly make legitimate coin without investing your own time and money into a project that you can promise yourself will make the income that you deserve and are willing to put forth to make the dream a reality.
Be moral. Be correct, Market to a set of consumers you can relate to. Become an expert on the topic. Advertise your professionalism. Create a following. Profit form selling your following things that they need. When these things work as expected, they will tell their friends, and make you word-of-mouth advertising opportunities. From there, it just grows. Get yourself on the first page in Google searches for the product you are trying to sell, and rake in more money than you can imagine.
But it takes time. And money. And a lot of both. But if you're willing enough to trust someone with a few grand in the stock market, why are you not willing enough to trust yourself with a few grand for an idea that you have researched and are positive that it will make you the money that you have been hoping for?
Nobody is going to show you the magic solution to a debt-free lifestyle. Nobody is going to make money for you until you can make money for yourself and then pay them to make you more money. That's called outsourcing, and it works wonders as well. But you have to get up. You have to get out there. Get off of the forums searching for someone else to make the next big moneymaker, make a few bucks, and then wait for the next one. The world won't wait for you. There's money to be made, and you're missing out! Cut your own path, and be the one that people admire for their creativity and originality.
And for God's sake, don't share it once it dies.
