The Magic Way to Earning Money Online
How many online resources can you name in one minute that talk about how to make money online? Getting rich quick schemes, membership sites giving you all the details, eBooks giving you pointers on things you actually already know. You already know it’s not that hard to make money online. But of course, the problem is that it takes a lot of work, and if there is something you don’t want to do it’s work hard for your cash right? You want an online income, and you want it yesterday.
And this is your lucky day! In this blogpost I’m going to explain to you exactly how you can do it.
It’s actually magic:
Describe exactly what you need
But of course, if you want something you’d better be sure what it is exactly that you want. It’s just like making a wish. You can’t be vague about it. Have a nice clear image in your mind about the goal you want to reach. Let’s say you want to be earning 1k a month by the end of summer. Imagine yourself checking your bank account and seeing all the money, imagine how it feels. Do your best to get rid of any vagueness. Keep track of the whole and of every single minute detail. Feel it, make it as real in your mind as you possibly can. This actually is essential to the whole process.
Do you have a clear image? Do you know what it is you desire? Wonderful, let’s go on with step two
Use exactly the right words
Now write down what it is you want. If you’ve read older blogposts of mine you’ll know it’s very hard to put to words what you’re thinking. But give it a go anyway. To help you a bit with how specific you need to be here’s a quick mind game: Imagine that the one granting the wish is an evil djinn who will do everything he can to distort your wish into something not so pleasant. Don’t wish what you’ll become 100. Be a bit more exact or you’ll have a beard before sundown. It might take you several pages to describe this, that’s alright obviously because then you’ll have something you could even show others to make your idea clearer to them. If you find that you forgot about some details, go back to step one and try again.
Now you have that piece of paper, an exact representation of what had in mind, put to paper. It’s on to step three
Perform exactly the right rituals
You want to earn money from your blog by selling an eBook or some other product? (Just guessing here) You know what to do don’t you? Select exactly the right niche, write a good product you know will be worth every dollar you charge for it, build your blog audience and make sure people know what you are all about. Build subscriber numbers, search engine traffic, use social media. Do all those things you’ve read bout hundreds of times by now. You know what the rituals are, and if not you can quite easily find everything online. You’re not alone in this obviously, there are thousands if not millions of others trying to do the same thing.
What do you say? That sounds like work? Absolutely not, it’s magic! Or you might call it religion. You go to a house or worship, light a candle or incense and pray to a certain saint to get something. Be sure to light the right incense and use the right words in prayer to the right saint. Get it? It’s magic. You invest some time to get something for -almost- nothing.
The alternative
You might be on to me by now, I sure hope so. You need to do things to get things, there is no such thing as the free lunch after all. But there is one alternative way to make your wondrous wish come true. There is? Yes there is. It’s the simplest way actually, I was saving the best for last:
Hire a wizard who can do it all for you, he’s a magic expert after all right? There is just one tiny draw back: it will cost you.
And now back to the real world. There is no such thing as magic, but there are wizards. They just aren’t the magical kind. These are the people who actually learned how to perform the rituals, who invested time (and money) into learning everything and went out and did it. They could have hired a wizard to do it for them but they wouldn’t be one themselves. Now they are “in the know” and offer there services to anyone willing to pay their steep prices. You can buy eBooks written by them where they teach you how to do what you can find online for free. It’s where they got it.
Because you don’t want to learn how to do it yourself, knowledge is money. Realise this, invest time into learning something other people want to have/know and sell it. You’re the wizard now.
Haha, I was ready for you to write something like this Christiaan. This time around, I completely agree with you. We all know what we need to, but some people continue to purchase e-books and read blog posts in hopes of finding that one magic secret that will do it all NOW. It’s a self-selecting process that the people who end up doing well online are the ones that actually took action and persisted.
I especially like the visualization exercise you added up top.

Thanks Ben ;)
This is hilarious, Christiaan.
Thanks Alan, I do my best to bring a smile :)
(and to point out absurdities in life)
Everything is created twice, first in the mind then in reality. Without doing the right rituals or action for the goals we want, the creation is incomplete. :-)
