    My lungs are on fire from the permanent damage from the virus since I had it last year before it was even big news; I've been switching from writing about programming on Medium to a focus on social issues (first article is up) given the current shit-storm of f***wittery by narcissistic sociopaths and their bald faced LIES about "rights", "socialism", and all the other things they clearly don't understand.

    The endless stream of propaganda based bullshit -- just like that found in the "make money fast bloggin" -- is duping morons, quacks, fools, and tools across the world. I might be just one voice, but the most powerful avalanches can be started from a single pebble. If I can reach even just one person, it's worth the effort.

    Everyone can self proclaimed as successful blogger, but it will depend on the person if they want to fool themselves just to deceived the people and earn money. However, this scheme will not work today because of the rich information online just to prove whether you are credible or not.

    not all the bloggers are faking it, it is a way of marketing you can say. I know a few bloggers who are making more than 50000usd every month.

    I think about 95% are faking it. I don't have any proofs, just a feeling, like something's not right with the things they say and the way they look.

    Some of them fake it for sure, but not all of them. The reality is that there aren't too many successful bloggers out there, as it requires years of working and writing a bunch of articles to be able to generate that kind of money, so it's only possible for more famous examples that are present on the web for quite some time now. Others are just trying to look "cool" and that's why they insist on that kind of a statement, but you can really judge based on their work if they are telling the truth or not.

    I think it depends on the blogger.

    There is something you guys are missing here.
    I do believe only a fraction make $30,000 USD per month.
    Ask yourself why they write $30,000 per month or $1000 a day.
    It is simply baiting. When they get listed among competitors they
    want to draw attention.

    Then the content of these videos is not really for honest education but to lead people to believe they need all the resources to succeed. All resources are of course affiliate products. But the main goal in many cases is the main product where they can do all the up-selling and earn from the high ticket.

    I know that most of you guys look for a quick and simple solution. It is like a drug. This is why these kinds of videos works. This is probably also why you posted the question. You want to believe it is true. But it is really good that you posted it. It means you're careful. I like it.
