Characteristics of Easy Money Making Ideas That Do Not Work

By David Lim

If a website tells you that it has an easy money making idea, what kind of idea would you expect? You would probably expect an idea that is so easy to do that an idiot can do it. In addition, you would also expect it to rake in a lot of money and be totally hands off. At least, that is what you would expect if you have been reading all the ads.

Well, I have news for you. I have tried all the easy money making ideas and they do not work. Either they require the skills of a rocket scientist, or do not make money, or you need to spend all your time on it, or a number of other reasons, but more often than not, they just do not work.

Some characteristics that identify an easy money making idea include:

* A graphic on the website that has palm trees, beaches, a cool dude or dudette in beach wear in a beach chair with a notebook on his lap.
* A promise that anyone and everyone can do it, in other words, absolutely no skills required.
* Pages and pages on how good their product is, and after reading everything, you still have absolutely no idea what the product is.
* A promise that you can earn a lot of money for work that a 9 year old can easily do.
* If the easy money making idea is a report or a subscription that has to be purchased, there will be many enticements to get you to buy. You may see a countdown timer with only a day or 2 left, or offers of bonus ebooks worth hundreds or thousands of dollars upon purchase, or a limit on the number of purchases allowed. More often than not, you will get all of the above.

Real money making ideas do exist on the Internet. But you do have to navigate through the minefield of "easy money making ideas" before getting to the real stuff.

David Lim is the webmaster of a site about realistic money making ideas, a site that goes into detail about how to implement the various online easy money making ideas featured. Take note that some basic skills, a little ingenuity and hard work will be required for success.
