I was reading some threads here on BHW and I noticed one important thing.
People from 1st tier countries need lots of money to live and some are able to make it in IM. They make like 100$/day and that sounds little to them.
People from 3rd tier countries who needs just a bit of money to live can’t make that bit of money and just thinking of earning that on IM sounds like a dream.

What’s wrong with us ?

I mean, I have a day job, I study at night, and in spare time I try to make some IM.
But I just need to make 10$/day at this point to live confortably and I could even quit my job.

There are people who need to make 100$ a day to live in their country and 100$ sounds little to them.
So, what is wrong with us, people from 2nd and 3rd tier countries ?

Are we lazier than them ?
Are we dumber ?
What is that one thing we have to change to achieve those 10$ a day that would make our life financially easy ?

A lot of people don't really like investing in anything online they prefer seeing what they are investing and also they would tell you they have no control over stuff online
 
As someone from 3rd world country living in Europe, I can answer the question.

I can survive on 20$/day in my country but here, I would need around 100$/day for minimum expenses. Reason being that everything is expensive in 1st world countries.

Now you're looking at it the wrong way - Flip the argument/situation.

People earning 100$/day through offline jobs in 1st world country don't care enough when they need to spend 10$ on a domain, 20$ a month on hosting and 300$ on linkbuilding.. at most, the money will be reimbursed in 1 week right?

Someone from 3rd world country can't invest that much money right off the bat.

The barrier to entry is very high for people from 3rd world countries and the same barrier is quite low for 1st world country.

At the end, only people with money, motivation, skills and hardwork can succeed from 3rd world countries while anyone with a 1000$ to spare (not much in a 1st would country) can have a shot at earning with a relitively small skill set.

I need it has to do with the subconscious mind. We're not dumber/lazier etc it's the system, the surroundings, the social we take part in it, the friends circle etc. If your subconscious mind sees around that 10$ is good, then it will search for ways to make only 10$ per day. If you look around you and see people that do 100$ day and this is the norm, then the subconscious mind will push you to 100$ per day.
 
Sorry, but anyone talking about motivations, expectations and other reasons don't know what they're talking about.

Slaving in a day job is no ones dream - and day jobs in 3rd world countries are NOT COMPARABLE to what they are in 1st world country.

It's all about the barrier of entry.

You(people from third world countries) have less money to invest and are more afraid of losing 200-300$ in testing.

I think thats the main reason.

I think this hits the nail on the head. Paradox of life. Some have food and can not eat, while some can eat but have no food. However there is still a crop of people from third world countries that have food and can eat. Rather than worry about the others (because you cant change them), strive to be in the last group.
 
You can't really compare those numbers, since the cost of living in your country is significantly less.
If anything you have a real advantage, because you're able to generate income online.
This way you could earn in a day what you'd earn in a whole year if you took a "normal" job in your country.
It's easier this way to save money and invest it into different ventures, while only needing a few dollars a month to sustain your lifestyle.

You have said it all
 
The earning capacity differs from country to country. Keeping everything else same, you can earn 10x from tier-1 traffic compared to tier-3 countries. This makes a lot of difference. There are a lot of techies in India and almost all niches are saturated. So, most people target tier-1 traffic to get more income. The problem is more or less same with other industries as well.
 
It's predominantly focus I think.

People in western countries have to target $100 a day to be able to live, so they do. 2nd/3rd countries can live on $10 per day, so they target that.

I said this before and no one seemed to agree with me - if someone who struggles to make $10 p/d did the same things and had the same focus that someone in the West did to make $100 p/d then they would.

There are plenty of guys outside of T1 countries making a lot of money from IM, there's just a lot more who just focus on trying to make $10, which is a huge mistake.
 
Calculate how much it costs to rent a house in a 1st tier country ( or the bills, or the food price, etc ) and you will receive the response. For example, renting a monthly studio apartment in Los Angeles may costs equal or more than a house in a 3rd tier country.
 
I wish this world comes to an end soon. Then there should be a world with out any layer of difference
 
OK, i may sound harsh now, but that`s my observations. From my experience dealing with people from 3rd world countries what usually fails them is lack of work ethic and patience. Lack of work ethics means not delivering in time, slacking, disappearing, lame excuses (just check the shit list here) and so on. This makes people from 1st world country avoiding working with you as plague. This hurt your income possibilities - you have hard time selling your labor and/or services at decent price.

Now patience. A lot and I mean a LOT of people from third world countries are hungry for success.. NOW. This sadly, is not how the world works. Not how the Internet Marketing works. Not how SEO works. Then disappointed that they are not making the huge bucks NOW they start jumping from method to method, from one get rich fast scheme to another. Well, the truth is that there are no shortcuts. The hard works pays off. But you have to put the hard work, you have to prove yourself, you have to grind that success up.

Now of course this is gross generalization, not true for all people from 3rd world countries, nor all people from 1st world countries are flowers, but overall that is what I saw for my time in the Internet marketing business.

You can't blame it on people in 1st world being rich and have money to invest.

It's not a matter of blaming someone for having money. There are always going to be people who succeed from little to no investment other than time.

But the majority would find it a little easier on the nerves to invest about $$$ upfront, compared to their 3rd world counterpart.

This is true. But we're talking about setting goals and not going for bigger ones once the initial goal is achieved.

You see, when people start with IM, their goal is to replace their income.. which comes down to 100$/day in 1st world and 10$/day in 3rd.

What happens once that is achieved is entirely a different argument.
