let's discuss future proof money methods.

honestly if we are talking about 10-20 years range nothing is future proof. Not even real estate. Just ask your dad if 20 years ago he would have predicted smartphone/tablet would make PC sales decline. Nobody would have predicted that 20 years ago. Nobody even predicted all trading activities would be online (stock, forex, etc.) 20 years ago back in 1993. Maybe the safest bet is to build a real product brand and as your franchise go bigger it'll stay big.

Look at mcdonalds, KFC, whatever. but then this is not just about online world. It requires much more than that.

and about real estate while it's true in long run it's safe but in some countries it might be not. Housing bubbles can happen especially in developing countries where property prices are currently booming. Even those who are really fall in love can break up 10 years later. This is just an analogy but I hope you get my point. 10-20 years is way too far, there are always lots of changes.

I think the only way you can remain profitable on the internet and look to have lifetime earnings from it is to learn code.
 
There aren't any future proof money methods. The world we live in is not static, it's super complex and anything can change dramatically tomorrow morning.

Real estate as a longterm investment can evaporate in one night by the new Japanese low cost homes or a new social trend where people decide to not spend as much or from new technological discoveries like 3d printed homes etc.

Weight loss industry can disappear in 3 years from now if some science team discovers a low cost diet pill that actually works etc.

I think the only real longterm investment/business you can make is improving your brain (knowledge/wisdom/skills/experience). As long as we live in capitalism the only thing that will work is your ability to adapt to this system.

Since i hate to sound theoretical and your posts have helped me to start taking action into this industry i ll just tell you what i am planing to do:

1.Authority site business (brand name) with content creation in one of my many areas of expertise as a basis to attract visitors (without any SEO) and convert them to sales. This is my method of choice because i currently can't raise capital for massive PPC ventures.

2.Scale and improve this business and move to other business ventures for diversification (online or offline).

3.Raise capital for investments (300k-1m) that create true passive income at a ROI of 10%+ year with 0% risk (not even inflation). These could be stock market, real estate or whatever (only thing it matters is the knowledge to help me adapt).

4.Live in a country where cost of living is low and quality of life is high.

5.Retire and enjoy life with family/friends.

The fundamental principle in capitalism is to provide value as product/service provider (need knowledge and capital) in order to receive value (income). As long as capitalism exists and you obey this principle you are going to have some kind of "future proof money method".
 
Invest in BDC stocks.
Make online store
Acquire small businesses (capital needed)

that was an awesome post. gave me much to think about. thanks
 
If you want future proof, stay away from asense, they can ruin you in one day, stick with rev share for forex or gambling, if your sites get hit and you have been doing it for time, you get months and months of money to get you back on track before you lose it all, not like adsense where one day can take everything.

Yes you can always switch, but you will start from fresh, it is good to have a couple of years worth of rev share behind you.
 
Currently I am investing into Real Estate and some bonds which are giving me good returns already.

Offline Marketing: Along with that I guess it will be a better idea to start an offline digital marketing company. You like in Poland, so you can start one in your city and provide services like Web Designing, SEO, Brand marketing, Reputation Management. These services won't die for sure. That's where you should tap in and if you hire the right people then you can turn it into a million dollar business.

Email marketing is another thing which will last for long. People won't stop using email anytime soon. I read on Viperchill about something called "Email Blogging" which means providing content just through email. That is also a great idea to try along with your authority sites

PPC/Media buying : This is also long term. Online advertising will never die and we all know that. People will keep spending on advertising until the Internet survives. So you should try investing in this.

On the whole noone really knows what will happen in next 20 years. We as IMers should learn to adapt. Things change very fast on Internet but some of the basic things/concepts still live.
