I constantly get emails from Losers wondering how they can start making money on the internet. They’re either begging me to do the work for them and just “hand over” the money, or they’re calling me out and demanding that I “prove” to them that it can be done.
The problem with both these scenarios is (besides these people being full-on retards) that both types of people reek of desperation.
They are constantly running around, desperately looking for something – ANYTHING – to make them money.
As soon as some new guru comes out with a product promising to make them a bajillion dollars, they jump all over it. And as soon as the next product comes out, they jump on that too.
In sort - they aren’t bothering to focus on anything.
And if there’s one thing ol’ RJ has learned, its that the key to success in any field is FOCUS.
For instance, I built my empire by focusing all my time and efforts on search engine optimization. I got really good at that stuff, and built up assets that I was able to sell for large sums of money.
Then, I got really good at buying media. Make no mistake about it – the Rich Jerk company isn’t successful because I’m awesome (though that’s definitely part of it). It’s the multi-million dollar money-maker it is because I know how to get people to my website. Period.
So instead of running around desperately trying to find something to make you cash – STOP. Stop wasting your time. Stop wasting your energy. Stop wasting your money. Focus on just ONE THING you want to get good at, and get freakin’ good at it.
Period.
I would suggest getting good at Google Adwords. Seriously. Knowing how to buy traffic is the quickest and easiest way to make money online. It will help you in more ways than you know possible, and Google is by far the easiest way to get started.
And if you’re not good at it at first – DON’T GIVE UP. Take your time, and learn. Losers always quit. Winners never give up. So if you want to start making some cash, learn to master the skill of buying website traffic. Not only is this something you can use to make money as an affiliate, it’s also a skill you can use to market yourself to other people who are too lazy or stupid to accomplish what you have.
Understand that the internet is always changing, but the fundamentals don’t. No matter what “web 2.0″ B.S. gets vomited out, people will always respond to advertising.
But if you want to be the type of people who become experts at using sites like Facebook, Myspace, Squidoo, etc. to get traffic and make money, then by all means – do that! Be that guy! But focus on it. Don’t try it for a while and then jump ship.
I understand the idea of quick money on the internet is appealing, and lord knows there’s enough of it out there. But there is also something to be said about taking your time, paying your dues, and being in it for the LONG HAUL.
So if you’re struggling, stop wasting your time. Buckle down and get serious.
Oh yeah, and buy my stuff.
Later Loser,
-RJ
