How do you make money online, actually

Internet is just a tool and the internet doesn’t have any money by itself.

When you work online with content or some other stuff, the goal is to find a client, donor, sponsor or a buyer.

Because the internet can’t do any transactions by itself.

You increase your chances of earning by building a website, a YouTube channel or a catalog of visible offers, services and whatnot.

If you know how to sell something to somebody, the internet will take care of itself, because everybody is always paying somebody.

Being visible can help you a lot when doing internet business. The more eyeballs on your stuff – the better, some of them might be even interested in your stuff.

Free promo

Tomorrow starts my free promo of Kindle eBook “How to not give a fuck”, you can search it up on Kindle.

It will be free from 2026.09.10 – 2026.09.15.

The promotion will run 5 days.

I saw on Goodreads that 150+ people want to read it, so I am giving it free. Hope you like it – leave a review, if you get it.

Free demand

Some things might have a huge free demand and basically no demand when paid.

Not getting paid for your creative work is probably the future, most creators don’t make any money from their creativity.

But free work is still work, and it can be worthwhile – it’s doesn’t matter if it’s free.

There’s a lot of neat things online for free. 🙂

My blog is one of those things!!!

Theoretically and practically

I know business theoretically, I actually have an education but making somebody to pull out their wallet and pay 1€ is a whole another game than education institutions teach.

People can know a lot about business, but knowing business and doing business are two different things and skills.

Sure, I sold some stuff online but I don’t make trillions a year.

Business is really harsh, that’s why most people aren’t businessmen.

It’s damn hard to get that money. Especially with donations and free content. Da game is just ridiculous.

20-30

Just recently I looked up my Kindle lifetime orders, and realized that I’m on Kindle since 2018 and I only sold around 400+ books.

The first year was big, and then it faded away.

So I am selling 20-30 eBooks passively with no marketing – basically set and forget. So that’s pretty neat.

I’m not creating content for profit, though I would like to.

Making content for money is another league.

Doing great

Hello, everybody!

I’m doing great, today I dropped 2 beats onto my YouTube channel, but I’m now thinking actually to abandon my YouTube channel.

Nothing good is happening on YouTube… You really need a lot of content to get some decent views.

So, I am thinking just to write my old good blog. The downside of a blog is that you need to pay for it.

See ya! 🙂

Minimizing risk

The saying high risk – high reward, would be nice, if the rewards were guaranteed.

High risk often means you will lose everything.

So, ideally you want to minimize risk as much as possible.

People often assume that high risk is always equal to high reward.

You really don’t want to lose your money or your life.

That’s why minimizing risk always makes sense.

And if you are into investing always invest money you can afford to lose, as money from investments isn’t some free money made out of thin air.

Everybody can make money with a website, but…

The reality is that anybody can make money with a website, but most people won’t do it as it requires A LOT of upfront work, and when you have to pay bills today, rather than 10 years later, it isn’t so lucrative.

Sure, you might not be the next media company, but you can get some money from the pie.

You don’t need lots of views, but you need some.

Most content websites fail because they don’t have sustained content running throughout the years, and the other thing is, they don’t have meaningful readership because they lack content.

But if you want to get something from a content website, then you need to do A LOT of upfront work, and all of it isn’t guaranteed, so most people aren’t risking it.

Even in a traditional job, you need to work for a month to get paid. Blogging requires more than that, especially if you aren’t running ads and your marketing is lousy.

With these things out of the way – everybody can make money with a website.

Secret to money

Everybody is wondering what the secret to money is, and it’s not work – it’s transactions, because you can work for free and get paid nothing.

That’s what is happening to most blogs.

People keep writing their souls out just to realize nobody is paying for their inventory.

You can’t make money from free content, but it doesn’t mean you aren’t working to produce it.

So work doesn’t mean you are getting paid.

So to sum it up – get transactions, and getting transactions isn’t that difficult when you are surrounded by people who have something to transact, because if you will be surrounded by bums – you won’t get paid.

Many people assume that simply working will produce money, no it won’t, unless you have agreed on the transaction.

So hard work or even smart work is just work.

Content hamster wheel

The amount of content you need to publish as a content creator just to sustain the views is just ridiculous.

Don’t believe anybody saying that content creation is passive work.

It’s real and active work, and most of the time you’re not getting paid anything.

The views you get today – vanish tomorrow.

So you need to keep producing content, it’s just ridiculous work, but I don’t have any other options…
