Not because you shouldn't want to make money online,
but because the stuff you're going to find by doing that
is going to help you lose money online. Sort of like
asking a casino owner how to make money in Vegas.


Don't pay anyone for simple and proven
instructions on how to achieve this goal.

In particular, don't
pay anyone to teach
you how to write or
sell manuals or ebooks about how to
make money online.


Get rich slow.


Focus on the scarce resource online: ATTENTION.

If you try to invent a
way to take cheap
attention and turn it
into cash, you will fail.


The attention you want isn't cheap, it's difficult
to get via SEO and it rarely scales.


Instead, figure out how to
earn expensive attention.

Don't worry so much
about the 'online' part.
Instead, figure out how
to create value.


The online part will
take care of itself.


Don't quit your day job.


Start evenings and
weekends and figure it
out with small failures.


Build a public
reputation. A
good one, and
be sure that
you deserve it,
and that it will
hold up to
scrutiny.


Obsessively specialize.

No niche is too small if it's yours.


Connect the disconnected.


Lead.


Build an online legacy that
increases in value daily.


Make money offline.


If you can figure out how to create
value face to face, it's a lot easier to
figure out how to do the same digitally.
