This is something we all desire. We all study hard in school to get into a good college. Once we get to college we work hard to do well and get a good job. Why do we want a Job? Well its quite obvious - that five letter word that makes most of the world tick - M.O.N.E.Y. Don’t get me wrong, there are enough people who don’t care about money and I salute them but for a large portion of the populace, money is priority.
Because of this unique position that money occupies in our world, a large number of scamsters make a living off convincing people that they in fact can make money quickly, Easily and without risk. Is it really that easy? I don’t think so.
Why Money?
People often say that money is the root cause of all problems. Crimes are committed for money. Some statistics, in fact, suggest that the majority of crime in the world is directly or indirectly linked to money. However, this is one view. I believe that money is very important but to the extent that it doesn’t start ruling your life. Don’t feel bad if you like money, because I’m sure there are many like you. I, however, love it. There, I’ve said it!
If you don’t like money, then it will be hard for you to earn it. In business, you have to want something badly in order to get it. The sole purpose of a business is to make money for it’s shareholders. Sure, there are many other motives to do business like self esteem, fame, desire to achieve something etc. but the primary motive is money and if someone tells you otherwise, let me tell you that they are LYING. Also, it is standard practice to judge the success or failure of a business by checking it’s profitability. So go ahead and say it - “I Love Money”.
This brings me to the interesting part of this post i.e. how to “make money easily”.
Free Money?
The time has come for me to reveal to you some of the most closely guarded secrets of the business world. How to make sufficient money, easily and without risk. Sounds unbelievable right? But there are so many things that the Layman does not know. I didn’t either till a few days ago.
I was lucky enough to be invited to this closed secret group, where amazing ways to make easy money were going to be revealed. Wow! What a thrill it was to be sitting in a packed auditorium and a stage filled with several best selling books like ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’. We were all going to be RICH!
Then the lecture started and about 30 minutes into it I heard the lecturer mention the word “PROJECT” for the millionth time. Except, no one had a clue as to what this “project” was, but of course it made tons of money without any investment or risk. This is when I realised that I had been conned into attending the opening exercise of probably the best kept Fraud in the world. I feel sad for those poor, unsuspecting people who were standing in the back row keenly listening like they would be given pots of gold in the end.
This whole event stirred something inside me and has urged me to write this post outside the conventional Layman’s MBA style and subjects.
I want to make sure that You never ever get conned by anyone. In the past, I have come across many such “projects” and “schemes”, so I was lucky to be able to spot this one.
Please remember a few things. There is NO SECRET formula. NO SHORTCUTS to SUCCESS. You and I both have to WORK (hard) to make money. It is never easy. When a person comes to you with a project or schemes that can make you a whole lot of money without risk, be assured that the one person who probably will make money is the scamster himself.
The lure of easy money is extremely powerful. I have fallen prey to such ventures, but all that I have learned in the end was that there is no magic project, no shortcuts, no way to make easy money and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
There is however one secret that works and that I can share with you i.e. think big, think positive and work hard toward achieving what you want. This is a proven and sure shot formula to success.

what an eye-opener.
Which one of us has not been flooded with alerts of staggering amounts of money won as prizes, or no- expense offers for luxury cruises and exotic holidays…
the catch lies there…
nothing comes free…
run for your life if someone offers you means to make a fast quick buck..
good post Yameer!!
I disagree with the claim that the primary motive everyone has for doing business is money. There’s no dearth of people whose primary movive is other things like empire-building, having tons of employess fawn over them, outdoing competitors etc.
Hi Rishab,
Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you think like this. Today, only a handful of people in the world aren’t chasing money through business. It’s this attitude of yours that the world’s entrepreneurs need to adopt, so that success can be more meaningful than just money. Hope to learn a lot more from you.
All the best!

I, since listened about money on internet have seen many a sites inviting people to earn money without any expenditure/free but at last they are linked with some money extracting site, nothing is free or cheap, also their genuineness can not be affirmed. In this scenario Yameer’s article has very successfully revealed such tactics.
Hi Surendrakumar,
You are absolutely correct. Nothing is free or cheap!
Thanks for appreciating my article.
Good Luck!

There is this rather interesting story that I once read.
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs 10.
The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at Rs 10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs 20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs 25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs 50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs 50.”
The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!
Dear Chandrima,
I have read this before. Simply a great story that we can all learn from.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
All the best!
