HI, Yes, making money is such a hard thing to do and everyone is wondering why it is so hard in the first place. As for me, I have been struggling very hard to earn a living, and so far I have not been very successful in getting enough money to support my monthly expenses. I write articles and sometimes I am able to earn more. Some other times my earnings are small and I have to think twice before spending on anything. I learn to appreciate the value of money and will never spend on something which I consider as luxurious and wasteful. Some people are very creative and some people are just lucky. Some of them are able to earn a lot of money even though their ebook are not proven to make them money if put to use. However, it all depends on us the user, whether we want to believe it or not.

Have you thought making money through selling something that tells the others how to make money?

Well, talking about money. It's hard to make money because it is like mining. Before you reach the gold inside that mountain, you need to dig first and spend a lot of time to reach the gold inside. You need endurance in order for you to make money by your own because if you don't have, nothing will happen. Making money is not easy just like eating banana or drinking water. You need to work and work for you to have money. You need keep in mind the essence of hard working and apply it to your work. So, that's how hard making money.

Um no. Most do not make money. Making money is hard depends on what you mean. The basic plan to make money is very simple. Go out, get a job, work the job, earn money. Doing it is the hard part. People tend to want a quick easy 'three step program' to make money. That doesn't work. Making money involves getting up the in morning. Going to a job. Working at the job. Getting a pay check. It requires work, effort, time. It's not easy, and there is no three easy steps. It is a little more difficult to get a job in China, than here in the US. But the basics are pretty much the same. Find something to do that provides a wanted service, or valuable product, for other people to buy. That is exactly what people from China do when they come here. They open a store, or learn a skill, or a restaurant and sell food people love. Again, the concept is easy. But actually running a store, or learning a skill, that's difficult.

Firstly pretty much everybody is trying to get money, so trying to make money inherently puts into a competition with others. Wages seem to be falling behind the cost of living. It used to be that a man could work a normal job and afford to keep a wife who didn't have a job, raise a couple of kids and save for retirement. Now a couple can both work long hours but still not be able to feed themselves let-alone raise children or save. Why is this? Something is obviously wrong somewhere! What really annoys me is that there is pretty much nothing you can do to make money that doesn't involve either persuading people to buy something or persuading somebody to hire you (or maybe both). What can you just go out and do and get paid for without somebody being able to stop you by simply saying "no"? Bottle picking is the only thing I can think of. Designing websites and putting adverts on them, maybe. It makes it extremely difficult for certain people with little persuasive ability to make money. The work ladder is discontinuous. It's hard going from being unemployed to a low level job. Employers are overly fussy about who they hire. They only seem to want people who did the exact same job the week before! Laboring jobs are the easiest to get but they lead nowhere. You can't get hired to unload trucks and then work your way up to the boardroom! Going from being unemployed or laboring to being a computer operator or a lab technician is basically impossible. Then there are a lot of rules about running companies and who can work at what. Some make sense but some don't. For example there's a shortage of nurses in Canada. However, nursing qualifications from other provinces and territories aren't recognized, forcing nurses who've moved to different provinces or territories to either take expensive exams or leave the profession. Why? This just seems utter insanity as far as I can tell! There are many doctors working menial jobs because Canada won't recognize their qualifications. In some cases, I can understand this but in most it's just stupidity!

I think it so hard to make money because we have to work something to earn something. If you're spoon fed with silver spoons already, then that won't be a problem. But for those who aren't, it is hard because of the limited opportunities available. It is only fitting that how we get to enjoy the hard earned money we receive because of how we did our jobs to earn it.

I totally agree with you. I have no idea why making money is sooo hard. I mean, I really need it, but it's just hard to earn just enough for my expenses. I have not tried buying books yet, cause I'm not sure whether they would help or not. I think I would try the online earnings first, before I delve into the books thing.

Yeah! Why? I also ask the same question. I tried to get a job and discovered that my earnings in my primary job is not enough so I looked for another part time job. I also have online earnings and I also feel like its not enough. Sometimes I think that the problem isnt about money, the problem is me because I am not satisfied with it.

Hi, Llbo. You brought forward a realistic topic. That's definitely true. It is not easy to make money without effort. The bestsellers in the bookstores are just others' tools to make their own money, right?! If he know all these effective ways of earn money, he needn't to write books about the theories of money making. Theories are theories, reality is reality. That's different. Happy mylotting!

Its all in our mind. when we think our mind starts creating waves and we attract things. Let me share my experience. I satrted a job with a salary of 4000(indian rupees). Then i joined another company for 6000. then i moved to another city where i got 12,000 and then i went to UK. I made some money came back and got married. First year things were fine, then started the problem. My salary never increased from 15,000. I changed jobs but my salary remained the same. This is bcos i was thinking of what i lacked and the universe said i have nothing to give you. Now i have started to thank for what i have and now i earn 40000 and i know it will double in a years time. "When our mind concieves and our heart believes, we know we will get it."

Money is not the biggest problem.The biggest one is how to balance our needs of spirit and material wealth. Many people can make big money,but they are not really happy in the world.They struggle and even fight against many risistance power on the way of wealth.It is easy for them to lose balance in heart among various conflicted forces,and become repressed and unhappy. Without love between people,money means very little for happiness. In order to persue something we really love in the world and for our lifetime,we explore the truth in the darkness of spirit,and miss many chances to earn money.But we will gain more happiness when we finally find the truth of love and life which money cannot bring or produce.

It is not hard to make some money, but to make lots of money tend to be hard. Besides salary money, that is. If you are talking about online earnings, to get the right kind of programs are hard for sure. I know about some e-books, but have yet to really read one. I think reading articles might be a good start, to gain some insight, if you are really keen.

Every guy on this world needs money to survive. Earning money can be an easy thing or a hard one, depending on the idea that you had in your mind. You can work hard to earn just a few dollars, or you can work less to earn much more. It`s depending on your luck and your head. You can work hard to have money, but in the same time, you can think how you can make easier money.

Its not so hard to earn or make money online, you're in a social network so all you have to do is ask.

I've never read these books, but what I do know is that there is no easy way to become rich-if you want to earn money you need to work for it. If it was easy to earn money, then everyone would be rich.
