Is Internet the new gold rush ?

When you are broke Internet seems to be a good solution to make money when you have no/ little money to invest... Let me share my experience and analysis.

Spoiler alert : There isn't any solution on the Internet to make quick money ( The purpose of my post is to saving you time so you should stop right there if want to ;-) So before losing your time watching 100 videos or beginning an other stage of depression, ask yourself a few question and take a step forward.

Internet in many ways is virtualization of the real life. In the real life to earn money you need to add value, one way or an other you'll need to give something so somebody will give you something in exchange. It's like that since day one !
It's taking efforts to make money, making money by doing nothing is a DREAM.

They try to selling you this dream don't buy it.

Making money on-line is hard, really hard. One of the reason is that you must combine two factors good quality content and the ability to promote your content and for the second most of the time you need money. Making money is time consuming, when you see "automatic revenues" it say in fact that you must create a lot of content, spend a lot of time before having passive revenue.

An other spolier alert: In this story the only person who's making money is the dream seller.

Let's take an example :

Earn 2 $ each 60'. Wow !!!!
Most of the time you telling yourself "Why I didn't think about that before ? ". Those 60 $ per hour will solve many of my problems so let's take a look....
After 13 minutes you think why not ?. Firstly the video has been seen by 168K people it's a good score for the author but does means for you ? That's means that you just make 168k competitors so still motivated to give it a try ? When you surfing on the internet most of the time seeing commercials it's drive you nuts... Do you really want to be a part of this circus ? Is Copy pasting comments ( in order to sell things) under a video is the best definition of add value ?

I spended hours trying to find the best solution win money on-line. My conclusion is the best solution is not any automatic system but creating realy add value content.
