The Magic Income Bullet…
Another Day Another Dollar?
Whilst this expression was featured in Wynn Stewart's Top 40 Hit in 1962, its origins lie a little further back than that.
Back in the 19th century, in the USA, sailors received a dollar a day pay. Naturally long voyages became a very “samey” experience of the same grind, for the same pay.
Whether or not you know the song or the origins, this has become a globally well-worn phrase highlighting unremarkable toil for unremarkable income.
Working for someone, especially in a repetitive task environment, can bring you down and I reckon a good deal of the population are either in that situation now or have been at some point.
Now when your employment doesn’t inspire or reward you in a way that it feels “worthwhile”, we all start to dream of pastures new.
Some of us will apply for another job in the hope that that will fulfil us emotionally and financially. A percentage will seek out a side hustle, something to increase our income and perhaps one day fully replace our bland and unrewarding employment.

The latter segment of the population becomes a target, the people that unscrupulous MMO (Make Money Online) “gurus” love to market.
Offers of untold wealth, the laptop lifestyle and freedom from conventional work are thrown at us on a daily basis via social media and email.
The chance to replace the “Another Day, Another Dollar” environment is tempting when they say it can be done in an hour a day and at the “push of a button”.
When people are on a low income and the economy is driving prices up, people will hope to find the “magic bullet” that solves their pain and naturally, there are those who will capitalise on that.
Now we have AI (Artificial Intelligence) on the scene, jobs are at risk, so what do we do?

As many will know by now, I have been kicking around both business and the internet for many years, well many decades to be honest. I DO make an income from my online business ventures but I have to tell you, you are not going to make your fortune with a $17 down payment…these are basically digital snake oil transactions that line the vendor's pockets.
Let’s be honest here, if you had the secret to making lots of moolah online doing almost nothing, would you sell the system to someone else for $17?
No, you wouldn’t, I think, if anything you would retail it at a much higher ticket than that…some of you savvy readers will know that the $17 payment is the start of a whole sales funnel that pushes you to purchase higher and higher add-ons.
It’s a tough old world in conventional bricks-and-mortar business and in the digital arena, I know it, I operate within both.
I have to tell you, there is NO MAGIC INCOME BULLET…there isn't, unless, of course, you create your very own digital product, with a great sales funnel and good marketing to sell to unsuspecting and desperate people. If that is the route for you, weigh up how that sits with you ethically.
And if you do not know how to create a digital product, do your research, please please please, don’t buy a shiny button that says it will create your products for you.
Whether you choose to offer products or services, make it something you are passionate about and hopefully at least know a bit about.
PLAN the way forward, learn about business, take good advice and understand this…
…It all still takes real WORK.
Systems and software may assist with business processes, but keep in mind you are selling to PEOPLE, not just a social media avatar or email address…well that’s the way I roll.
For those who are interested in how I make money online, I have fingers in several pies. I am a writer, content creator, social media marketer and web developer, those are my “mains”, but I also offer business advice to people either looking to start a business or already have and need a deal of guidance in the ever-shifting landscape.
Finally, if you need someone to bounce your ideas off you know where I am and I won't be pitching Magic Income Bullets! >>GO HERE AND SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OPTION<<
Until Next Time
