In other words, I whole heartedly believe what my grandmother always said.
Yes but we are in 2013, lots has changed !

The problem comes in when people don't want to do it. There is the problem, NO will.
We both agree there......But that does not apply to everyone. There is a difference between not WANTING
and not being able to for many reasons outside your control for reasons I mentioned in my long post.
I'm sure most people in life don't want to fail and want to succeed. IT IS TRUE that some people don't
work hard and expect things to fall from the sky, I agree, but that is not the case for everyone, Valerie,
I think it's important to look at this in a fair manner, looking at both sides of the coin, not just one.

There are those times in life that 'fate' seems to be the only logic to why things turn out the way they do.
I'll agree with you on that aspect.
Oh thank Almighty God on that one !
You would have a lot of backing up and explanations to do otherwise. I mean I am convinced that you and many have come across situations in life where you have seen people the least deserving, get jobs, win money, get strings of good luck and succeed and yet the kindest people, most giving and charitable, most skilled and talented and most outgoing, positive, getting nothing,
falling flat, getting ill, going nowhere in life and being rejected........ If you said "no I haven't" then I would
not believe you, or I would say you were living in a different universe ! lol.

There's people all over the world online, well almost all over the world, that have and are making very
good money.
You stated FACT, we both agree on this. Now, again, given your experience and presence online for so many years, you do know which type of people are making good money online, how and why....... See below:

There was a gal from China many years ago that worked online in the free to earn industry. She was
a teacher in China and taught English. She was in fact Chinese tho but obviously educated enough to
teach English. She started online in a PTR's and before you know it, she had a huge following online.
No skill, no trade, no talent, no capital to invest online, you are very limited in what you can earn !
by PTR I assume you mean Paid to Refer, yes, even that requires skill to get the maximum benefits,
but you can do it regardless, yes this is aligned with my comment in my post, that earning from referrals / referring would be an alternative to those without the skill/talents. Keep in mind also that for maximum
potential you would need to ADVERTISE, and that costs money. Still a gamble because you might
spend hundreds of $ advertising only to get referrals that inactive for the most part or don't recover
your ad campaign, and this is where skill comes into play.
Quote:
As far as I know, she never did any paid type programs. It was all free to earn stuff. She always had
the largest referral count in everything she was in. It wasn't long and she retired from teaching and
only worked online in the free industry. Eventually, she retired from that too after some years. Maybe
one of her skills was being able to understand English well and relay information to her Chinese speaking
organizations but she also had large followings from various countries, not just China.
Circumstances, niche, money, time, there are too many parameters there. Just because she did it does
not mean that all Chinese teachers can do it even if they tried to copy what she did.
Some people succeed because they are in the right environment, are skilled, talented, have enough start up capital to cover expenses for the venues they are working on, and good networking skills. I am sure you are familiar with that Valerie, how networking is a major role in your success, both online and offline. If you've
done MLM, you know exactly what I mean and how well it applies
Some people are average Joe's who wake up in the morning go to work, earn and go back home,
watch TV, eat, sleep, who are looking for additional income online. If it was that obvious, then
everyone would be earning and making money - no poverty, no unemployment, general happiness.
There are too many considerations beyond one's control and too many things that need to be perfectly
aligned with one another to earn online. Not saying it is impossible, again, very limited.

He was a natural in that people liked him. I don't know why or how but they did.
He had a huge following online and I don't have any idea how he accumulated the huge following. He
was not very online biz savy.
It didn't come from thin air Valerie, they probably had something going with them, a good asset,
good connections, a good social network, luck, skill, brains, all that combined.
There are key things that help !
- BELIEVING in what you are doing / promoting / working on, etc.
- Having a social network, meeting people, discussing online, etc.
(PERFECT example of this, Valerie, online forums ! There are thousands of online earning forums where you can exchange with others and learn tips and tricks and get to know online opportunities you did not know exists.
That's how I found out about neobux, and through neobux, clixsense, and through online chats and message boards I learned about other earning online........ That's your NETWORKING, and that helps you with earning online just as much as it helps you get jobs!
- Liking what you do
- Being skilled or acquiring skill in popular high demand niches
-Being lucky and having the right DNA (I guess some people are born with failure genes, maybe that explains why some fail regardless of what they do.......) Can't fight fate, but you can make the best of what you have, and for most people, it will be slaving 9 to 5 jobs and earning a few pennies online clicking ads.
-You can have social and networking skills, but outside PTC/GPT and earn free opportunities, if you don't have the capital to invest, forget it. Skill-Know-how / Talent / Money / Research are tied together.
Sure you can do some PTR and PTP and rely strictly on spamming forums and social networks or free web pages, but you are competing against so many other users spamming the same popular sites......so in the end
you are going to get mixed results. Why do the top HYIPs spend thousands on the most popular monitors instead of just spamming their links on forums and social network ? There is a reason for that.
No money no candy. Some people just have been in environments or circumstances in life where they could not acquire a lot of money, NOT because they are not willing or bad people.
