"Does this program make any money?"
"If I pay, will I make money before my next month?"
"Does anyone here have proof that this works?"

I could go on and on. The point I'm making here is this: It's okay to ask questions when you are needing help, but don't ask questions that aren't going to get you anywhere. I just wanted to rant a bit about this kind of language is doing nothing but asking people to succeed for you.

In this quick blog, I'm going to be covering each of these examples, and why I feel they are not only not going to help you make any money, but will also hold you back from even making your first dollar. This is going to offend quite a few sensitive people on here, but it needs to be said!

"Does this program make any money?"

For one, I always do my research. Though there is the vague style of "Contrepreneur" lingering around the internet, most times you can find the information you need about a person or business quite easily. Asking people who are doing the work if there are going to be results is fine, but it's useless if you haven't actually done any research yourself.

You're just kind of asking to be a sucker at that point. What if that person told you "yes", would you get mad if they lied to you? To what extent does the skepticism end or begin? My usual thought process when I am not sure about something is to research all I can about it, first.

That being said, it's always quite easy to determine whether or not something is valuable to you by a few factors:

1. Initial investment cost, versus your current budget

2. Knowledgeability on the subject, versus the information you are given; i.e.don't trust an "expert" who can't speak plain English.

3. Effort and willingness towards the intended result with the resources available to you.

If any of these factors seem to be difficult for you, pass on that opportunity, you'll only frustrate yourself. Am I making money right now? No, of course not, it's only been a month. Am I aware of what I'm doing and do I have a set goal to make money? The answer is yes!

At its very core, all this is simple SEO and content creation. Yes, there are monetization avenues, but understand that THIS IS A SKILL YOU NEED TO LEARN. I swear to you, if there are any "gurus" promising "done for you" solutions, it's either going to be shady crap, cost a large amount, or simply a poor representation of yourself.

"If I pay, will I make money before my next month?"

If you are asking questions like this, you didn't read or watch any of the pitches, or your referral should work on their marketing. Kyle's training is very explicit about the timeline. Also, if you understand even a little about websites (again, research), then you would understand that you need visitors to sell anything.

The logistics alone should tell you it'd take longer than a month. Even in those so-called "super funnel" solutions, they're just a short term buck before your site gets blacklisted, along with the shady network. Most experts, such as Neil Patel, will tell you you've got about 12-18 months as an amateur, and 6 months if you know what you're doing.

I'm not going to waste time with exceptionalism, you know this story can vary from person to person, however, be wary of anyone who tells you they made 100k over a month. They very likely are lying. However, even if they somehow did, it's likely they've been running sites for years, busted their butts, and probably even duped a few chumps like you into getting them there and screenshotted the "proof".

Here's the reality: If you don't do it, it doesn't get done, period. Spending $30 dollars on someone's described promise of a "money printer" seems like you're just asking for failure. If you don't put in the work to try and do your best, you cannot get mad if someone you pay to do it for you doesn't deliver.

"Does anyone here have proof that this works?"

The proof isn't going to help you, not without research. Without knowledge, all evidence can be considered circumstantial, at best. That is to say that even if someone showed you to prove it, you're not going to know it's proof. If you knew it was proof, you'd be knowledgable enough to do it yourself... that's usually my rule of thumb, anyways.

Therefore, you are always responsible for the burden of research when it comes to asking for proof. Even if the person making the claim shows you their proof, it is incumbent upon you, the requester to verify this claim with your own research. You can see now how this is more of a loaded question than anything.

Conclusion

So what do you do, then when it comes to finding ways to make money, whether online or in-person? I said it before several times: "research"! It's important for so many reasons, but understanding what you need to do will give you a better idea. If you can't find information about something it's not likely that it's "exclusive" or "secret", especially something in 2020.

It's more likely that it's BS and there is no info about it because that person made it up. Consider this: if someone is selling knowledge, and you can't find even a subject matter related to it on the internet, is there really any way that is possible? Can you sell any information online, such as an e-book without someone sharing it with at least a family member, especially if it's claimed to make "tens of thousands a day" or something like that? Would you?

For those of you who found success in WA, what was the first thing you did? I bet you told people about it! That's what success does. When there are "secrets", it's because no one's talking about it. On the internet, that means it's because of its boring crap.
