“You must spend money to make money.”
– Plautus
INTRODUCTION
If you’re after topics on “how do I make money online for free”, I will try my best to offer solutions for that but I can assure you, that you will not succeed and reach very far in your business goals.
I can almost guarantee most of you readers want to learn how to make money online for free.
In one of my older post, I talked about making money online with free and paid methods. But now, I want to talk to you in depth why you should spend money to make money; buying an affiliate program, traffic, email marketing platforms, etc. Tell you what, it’s worth a lot more than you think.
I get this asked a lot
“If you’re so good at what you do and making all this money, why do you put all this effort and time writing this blog for free?
EXPOSITION
Well, writing the blog itself may seem like I’m doing it for free, but putting time writing each article is building trust with my readers. I treat my readers like my readers like customers. And a good customer relationship is a successful business. You see where I am going with this? I had to change my mindset with my financial goals. My goal now in life is not to make money. I got rid of that goal once I started making money.
Once you start to make enough money and start doing the things you want to do, you won’t care about money as much. Most people make money for security and freedom.
I had a goal; a dream I wanted to accomplish. I wanted a Ferrari, a mansion with a huge swimming pool in the back, with a tennis court, etc. I wanted to be able to do whatever I want and buy whatever I want, without having anyone telling me what to do and worry about my account balance.
Hence, I believe the key to happiness is freedom. My blog is mostly about how to make money, but I want you to have the idea of how to you wanted to achieve freedom and separating your time from money.
Now you may be thinking, “…OK, if you don’t care about making money, why is it that I, as the reader, have to buy a web hosting service, email marketing platforms, etc. Why can’t I do the same as you but with a free alternative?”
I do have a blog on, how to make money with no money, you can read here.
YOUR MINDSET
This is the reason why you should spend money to make money:
We buy stuff because it’s easy and saves us time.
Paying for something is like buying yourself something to eat because you’re hungry. Would you go out into the wild, hunt your own food or just buy it? You need to feed yourself so you have energy to work, and energy is making you money.
Same principle; a service is designed to make your life easier.
How are you going to make money online without spending money? Where are you going to get your website name, email address and all your information stored at? Are you going to spend hundreds of hours learning how to do it from scratch? Do you think you will learn everything by yourself when you can already make money by hiring someone else to do it for you?
If you don’t pay for a service, even if it’s worth $10,000 or $1, you not paying for a service means that it’s worth absolutely nothing to you. They cost, because the person running the business created something that is designed to help customers for their own benefit. They need to feed their kids, and pay the bills, etc.
How would they stay alive and continue to develop this amazing service for you, if you didn’t buy their product?
Unsurprisingly, people that gets something for free do not apply themselves to get results; if we get something for free, we aren’t going to take care of it. On the other hand, we spend out hard-earned money to buy this product or service because we value money and your money becomes value, it’s just a different form of value.
CONCLUSION
It’s pretty simple. You need to invest in yourself, whether it’s time or money, to see results.
I can guarantee you that trying your best to spend as little money as possible will take you a long time to reach your financial goals.
