Online earning Scams - Selling like Hot cakes

Click Bait Images used very often

The way "Online Celebrities" have started marketing the ease in becoming successful by starting any online business has grown rapidly from the last couple of years. The Ultimate promise which everyone makes is "Financial Freedom", "Live life on your own terms", "Travel and earn", "Earn while you sleep" etc. I can list down several of such catchy phrases. What they aim at, is to create an image of how easy it is to start earning online.
The bitter truth is starting, struggling and becoming succesful online is more like this.....

Messy desk

What these "Gurus" are selling is either an online course, a physical product or a digital product. Which can be through direrct selling or indirect selling (affliate, sales funnel etc). The final result is the same, naive people fall into the trap and someone is sipping his drink sitting on a beach side (that person is definitely not you, trust me).
Upon analyzing why this all of a sudden spike in people selling online course and what not, I came to the conclusion that what they are selling is a dream. So the strategy they are using is more of a psychological one.
Every one who is searching ways to make money online is strugling some way or the other (you wouldn't expect a millionaire to search for a quick way to make money online) and that's when they hit when the iron is hot.

A quick glance at their Instagram page will be full of photos of international trips, supercars, swanky houses, expensive toys.
This is all to play a psychological game with their prospective client (stop thinking, it is YOU). It works like a funnel, but in a broader way. 

Now, I am not saying all of these self proclaimed gurus and experts are fooling you. There are legitimate experts who want to teach others and get on the side tracks by earning through these classes and put a stop to whatever startegy they were using to earn an income online, but unfortunately the number is very low.

So, whatever is it that you want to start online, there are plenty of free study material available online. You just have to trust yourself enough and have a perseverance mindset that even if you do make mistakes along the way, you will succeed. 

Financial freedom is a long and slow process, but it will be worth it. You will learn a lot of things along the way. Don't take quick shortcuts as these will only lead to pitfalls. Read a lot and not just related to your field but all the good books about business, finance, psychology, writing and whatever you are interested in.

You are only limited by your thoughts.
