HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY

I rarely run into someone who tells me they have enough money and do not want more. More often than not, I meet people who tell me they are living from paycheck to paycheck. This is due to inflation, stagnant or significantly few wage increases, economic recession, and many other reasons that can quickly get a person down. During an economic meeting I was fortunate enough to attend, some of the people I spoke with asked me what I thought about passive income and, in their terms ", get-rich-quick scams that people sale." After speaking with them for a while, I quickly realized they were not asking me these questions to be rude or condescending. They wanted to know if there was a way people found where they could make money quicker than working a nine-to-five and climbing the corporate ladder. I'm about to tell you the following things are an extended version of what I told them. I hope you find it useful for you and your family. I want everyone to live in prosperity and not have to worry about where their next meal will come from or how they will pay all of their bills at the end of the month without having to get into more debt.

First, I want to tell you out of the gate that there is no get-rich-quick method I am aware of. I know you may find this upsetting, but if you stick with me, I'll show you how real wealth is created. Chasing a quick buck or trying to do something only once and expecting passive income forever is unrealistic. Sometimes telling people this is hard because it is easy to be fooled by so many people seeming to be successful by just creating a YouTube channel or becoming an influencer on a social media app. I know a few people who have made a decent living doing things like this, but if you were to see how much work goes into these kinds of things, you would quickly realize that you could probably work less at a full-time job and make more money.

A house less than five miles from one of my properties is the YouTube house. This neighborhood is very wooded and peaceful, and there is very little noise for the most part. This house has become known as a YouTube house to the locals because a successful YouTube channel owner owns it, and they use it solely to film YouTube. You always know when they are changing sets because the property becomes filled with construction workers who are changing out the interior.

Based on what you see on TV, you may see these two people and think they just got a phone, some simple lighting, and started filming themselves. However, I can tell you firsthand that they have a crew of over 15 people who help create the show every day. They have writers, producers, editors, sound and film tech, and many others who work together to ensure their performance looks simple yet successful to their demographics. Most people do not see all the work that goes into producing one show. I'm not saying you can become a success with just a phone, good lighting, and some editing software. Still, what your tv show or channel lacks in professional production, it better make up in amazing content that will produce loyal followers that can overlook all the other media provide.

So if I tell you that making quick money is not a sustainable, realistic option, how do I suggest you make more money? I'm glad you asked.

One of my favorite quotes about money comes from Jim Rohn, who said, "You don't get paid by the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hours." Based on this quote, assuming that if I wanted to get paid more, I needed to bring more value would be safe. Value can be very subjective; however, it has an economic measurement, which is how much people will pay for the value you bring. Let me give you some real-life examples.
