    I know this may sound like I'm moaning but I'm not, I'm basically telling people that no matter how you want to make money or sell your product you will always have to do something to get somewhere in life. I see people come on this forum and ask how they make money and expect it to be very easy. Making money can be easy but it takes time and time is something people come on here and expect to find go by fast.

    So I'm just giving a clear warning to anyone who makes a thread saying earn doing nothing each day that it's not true, you have to do something to make the money you're earning.

    And giving a warning to people who come on and expect to find an easy job that will keep them happy, job's are hard. It takes time and knowledge to do mot of the things that are on this forum so I recommend not entering any thread saying that you have to do nothing to earn.

    Thanks.

    I agree.

    And its really sad that we have to educate people about that since everyone should've learned this when they were 5yrs old.

    I agree. Even if you successfully outsource the day-to-day operations of a web business, you still need to be thinking constantly about strategy and the direction of your business as well as giving instructions and tasks to your freelancers -- you're basically managing a team and that's no trivial task.

    And if you go the route of making a "set it and forget it" site, consider this: the easier your site is to build and maintain, the easier it is for a competitor to do the same. You always need to be staying on top of things. A business that you don't think about and constantly improve is doomed to fail.

    Very true. I would say this though. Making money online is easy and once you get things set-up and outsourced properly you don't have to do anywhere as much. That said I found the learning to take the longest. You never stop learning and applying. Also it takes money. Most people seem to forget that this is a business. All businesses take some money to run. This one takes very little though. In the beginning there is a lot of work but that fist payday makes it all worth it.
