Digital Riches, a myth or reality? Look at Google and search engines as a mountain covering a wealth of search results that you need to transform into dollars. First, you have to locate that mountain using a map written in a coded language of tutorials on the topic “How to Earn Online.”. Although it is completely achievable, it is never an easy task. You could liken it to running a marathon through a burning forest, surrounded by signs promising instant wealth.

Before you continue reading, be warned! This article is based on factual truth with two flipsides. Consider it a nuanced piece that will challenge your perception of digital wealth.

The Myth

I make $10,000 in one month, mostly on my pajamas. Did you hear that? That is the myth. If it were true, then where would all of us park our private jets? Probably there would be no farming land, only fancy airports all over the world. Maybe we would be feeding on fuel jets.

The reality is that online business is similar to baking souffle. Despite adhering to the recipe, you often find yourself immersed in a cycle of searching for ingredients on the internet, only to encounter a lack of success.

The Cycle

For beginners, the learning curve for online income is steep, like a cliff. SEO sounds like the name of a fancy coffee brand. Affiliate marketing sounds like an online cult. Drop shipping sounds like being used by strangers. Success comes from learning, failing, and crying. The six figures, if at all it is achieved, take months and years of the cycle.

Reality Check

By the time you start earning your first $0.02, that’s a sign that whatever you are doing, be it a blog, YouTube channel, or freelancing, is promising. You refresh your page every minute expecting a different result, but nothing. That is when you should do something different. Remember, every empire starts small. Don’t give up.

The Sacrifice

Grabbing the digital riches demands time and effort, and it may rob you of your sanity. Your social life changes completely. You lose your sleeping schedule. Everything changes, and there is nothing you can do.

Success

Something magical happens, and it must happen, after years of grinding and you start making the money. Real Money. The first PayPal notification slaps differently. Finally, the fruits of the caffeine overdose and sleepless nights have ripened!

The good news is that, once you start making online money, the momentum builds in an amazing way. The curve suddenly changes into a downhill ride.
