Play it Safe, or Shoot for the Moon



One of the dilemmas anyone attempting to make money online will eventually face is whether to play it safe, and make a guaranteed, but tiny amount, or go for the big payout, with the risk of earning absolutely nothing.

"Slow but steady" may indeed win the race, but if your income is only pennies a day, I don't see how you can't help but be overwhelmed by expenses.

At this point I feel obligated to point out that the prudent path in life is to acquire a skill or three people are willing to pay big money for, (said skills are often difficult and time consuming to learn), and then WORK HARD AND LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS.  Ideally then your income will exceed your expenses, and you can blow the excess on wild living place any leftover loot in the stable investments of your choice.  Like they say, it's not rocket surgery.  However, this is a blog about making "easy" online money, so we'll just ignore that sage advice.

So you majored in Art Appreciation or Applied Recreation, and now you're wondering how you're gonna earn a buck or two.  Fear not, unwilling entrepreneur, for the internet just may be the means to your financial salvation.  (Or maybe not, but that's a downer, so let's not dwell on that, okay?)

If you absolutely require your efforts to pay off, you could play with cryptocurrency faucets, or survey sites.

Cryptocurrency faucets are kinda fun, and they are a guaranteed payout.  However, there is a drawback; with cryptocurrency faucets you'll be lucky to earn more than one, (yes, 1!), dollar a day.

Survey sites pay much better.  I've reached the $30.00 minimum and cashed out of inboxdollars multiple times.  Yet survey sites also have their disadvantages, namely, it's pretty easy to get burned out from responding to all those stupid surveys.  

So maybe the wiser thing to do is to aim higher, for the bigger payoff, and hope that somehow you are one of the few who succeed?

Advertising Clickbank products is often offered as a path to the big bucks.  If you want to pursue that route, understand that it will probably take much more work than you anticipate, and that success will NOT come overnight.

It wouldn't hurt to take a Clickbank course or two.

Also, if you think Clickbank is your thing, you might want to initially market products that others have succeeded with, such as the "Cinderella Solution".  (Then again, if you're an old guy like me, you may be irresistibly drawn to "performance enhancement products".)

Finally, you could throw all caution to the wind and leap in with both feet on a "promised path to wealth".  

Or you could just learn to code.
