For some time now, on and off, we have been looking at passive income sites and work from home sites and all the other names and terms for the same niche.
The reason for this post is that they all seem to have the same ideas and the same advice and content. It’s like thousands upon thousands of websites all following the same script. A title like “stock photography” and a little blurb about what it is and a site or two where you can do it.
The issue we see, is that none of it really tells you a real process on making money or a guideline or path to follow. It’s just a list of possibilities or suggestions where many would make you little or no money at all for the time you have to put in to them. People would say it is more than you had, but spending hours online to make a few cents for hours of work is not a plan we’d suggest to anyone.
We don’t want to be negative, we want to understand why these sites get so much traffic when you aren’t really learning much in terms of valuable information to progress towards a true passive income. We, and many others, could put a list together of things that one could do to save money or make money. But where’s the substance?!
One might compare it to those “self made millionaire” advertisements and marketing pieces where someone tells you a high level backstory about how they’re a millionaire and if one is to subscribe to their blog or newsletter or online channel, they could be a millionaire as well. However, they never truly walk you through steps or a course or “the secret”. Even if their claim to be millionaires is valid, other than hard work, we would be highly suspect of any secret that would get someone there. Reason being, if it was that simple, everyone would do it.
We’re not saying that there aren’t steps and techniques and courses that would help because guidance could very well help one understand more about a subject and, also, why reinvent the wheel as the saying goes. It; however, seems that the substance is truly lacking in ninety-nine percent of the websites claiming to get you the passive income.
True help is out there and can be obtained. This post was only to serve as a cautionary tale to do your due diligence when looking to get where you want to be so that you don’t waste your money and, just as important, your time that you cannot get back. A thought would be to find a source that has other validated success stories that have come out of it and give that a more meticulous investigation.
Good luck on your endeavors and we hope you find your desired success!!!
