Disclaimer: This is not a specific method to make money, it is more of a mystic guide to the way the universe works in terms of wealth. However, I can guarantee that it will earn you money if you apply it properly. So let's begin.
I chose the thread title very carefully, I have stated it a few times in the past and I think somewhere in that sentence lies the key to all success. "Making money is simple". There is no secret to making money, and a lot of people seem to forget that. They try find the quickest and laziest way of getting rich ASAP. That's why pyramid schemes and lotteries are so successful, because people fall into the trap of thinking that they can get something for nothing. We need to get rid of that mindset right now.
Money requires work. The work isn't always easy, but that's your choice. YOLO (For lack of a better word), if you don't like your circumstances then change them.
So how is making money so simple then? Because it is nothing more than a trade. You know, trading silk for pearls like they used to do in the ancient days. Stuff like that. You just need to find something to trade, and someone to trade it with.
I'm not just talking about selling actual physical goods. You might have a website with Adsense on it, you are still doing a trade with your customer. Think of your website as a supermarket. Some people come in and browse your goods and leave without buying anything. Some people come in to your store (Go to your site), find what they want (See the Adsense ad), buy it (Click on it), and leave. You get paid for the trade, and that's that.
Do you see the point I'm trying to make? How do you make money? You find something to trade, and you trade it. That's it. It can be as simple as working at McDonalds, something a lot of you could be doing and actually making money from, instead of asking the same questions all the time in forums.
So why doesn't it always work? You have something to trade, but you aren't making money. Well you need to find the right people to trade with. You need to advertise in the right places. You can't go and set up a lemonade stand in the middle of the jungle, nor can you just hope people find your business randomly out of the blue. Tell people what you have to trade! Make sure they are the right people, know your audience. Don't try sell steak to a vegetarian. You get the point.
Finally, and this is entirely optional but very important to know: Money begets more money. Ever heard of the rich getting richer? If you invest money, the process of making money becomes simpler. You will make MORE money. If you pay someone to do your job for you, and use your free time to start a new business and make more money. You can pay for a banner on a website and bring in more customers than you could possibly have brought in on your own.
So tl;dr?
Here is how you make money:
And here is how you get rich:
