Making money online is one of the most misunderstood topics there is.

I saw this question recently:

How do I make money online without spending money?

The most common response was “fill out free surveys and you’ll get paid to do so.” This is how you earn $20 a year online and go broke.

Trying to make money without investing a dollar is stupid

It’s basically asking the question: Can I get something for nothing?

The answer is no. Life doesn’t work like that. It’s lottery thinking, where the odds are a billion to one against you.

Will you win Powerball on Saturday night? No. In the same way you won’t earn 6 or 7 figures online without spending a dollar. It even costs $8 a month now to tweet.

The common trait of 6 and 7-figure creators

I’m surrounded by 6 and 7 figure creators.

My wife thinks I’m weird. “Content, content, content that’s all you talk about.” Yes, honey, that’s right.
