You must have seen videos on You tube or advertisement on Instagram where some influencer or creator is telling you some easy method by which you can earn so much money online quickly. These videos have always thumbnail showing like " Earn $300 per day" , "Earn $100 per hour by working from home, download xyz app" or "Earn $200 by just playing games, app link in the description". And let me tell you almost all of them are fake, scam and cheat. Yes they are scamming you and scamming very badly. Let me explain you in detail how.
What these Online Gurus exactly do
Just use your common sense and calculate. If someone can earn $300 per day from any website or app, then how much he can earn in month. It will 30*300 equal to $9000. Now if this much money can be earned from a single site without much effort then why the scammer himself is not doing it. Why is making videos and telling everyone his money making secrets. There may be two reason for it either the site never pay this much and the scammer is just using this tactic to clickbait and foo the viewer. Or the site is also a scam and it payed the creator to promote its site to his viewers. In either way someone is cheated and got scammed. And that someone is you. You go to that site, install their app or buy their subscription. In any of the way you are either wasting your time or money or both. Most of these sites either don't pay anything or pay penny's. And after loosing your time and money you earn only one thing and that is "Frustration".
How to spot a "Fake" 'make money online' method
If any of the video or advertisement is promising you quick money or easy money, that is fake. If the influencer or creator of the video is not following that method himself then it is definitely fake. I mean to say if some influencer is saying that if he is going you to teach how to blog then he must have created a successful blog. If he has a successful blog himself then he is qualified but if not then he is a scammer.
Why no one is regulating/stopping them from scam
Now, question arises if there are so many scammers scamming people for " online money making" then why anyone is not taking action against them. Why YouTube is not taking their videos down. Why any agency/authority is not taking action against them. Its because they are so many. And many are increasing everyday like mushrooms. You tube is itself earning money from their videos. Also no government agency has time to find and regulate YouTube scammers. They are busy with more serious crimes like online money transfer frauds or hacking etc. Also the users who got scammed by these YouTube scammers are so foolish that they neither report to anyone nor they take any action themselves. And some are even big fools that they are loyal subscribers to these scammers and get scammed again & again in hopes of earning some money online.
Are there any legit methods for actual online earning
Yes there are many including the one that the YouTube scammers doing themselves i.e. making content on You tube. Now I am not saying that you do what they are doing and scam people. But if you have some value to provide to others then you can earn by making videos on YouTube. Also there is long list of genuine methods through which you can earn money online like blogging, affiliate marketing and selling products online. But there is one thing is common in them. You have to work hard and have patience. You need to have patience because no genuine method of online earning will earn you money from day one. It always take some time.
