Make Money Doing Nothing

It is possible but you have to set the foundation first. You work hard in the beginning then bum around in the end.

lol, and i'm sure there are some people that are plenty happy to sell them the dream of "making money doing nothing"... but you're right, unless you're a trust fund baby, doing nothing = no money!

Ha ha i agree it is absolutely ridiculous! However i think perhaps when these people were searching for that phrase "make money doing nothing" they could be thinking about Passive Income and didn't know how else to say it..

Wouldn't we all like to make money doing nothing?

That's one of my targets for my retirement and why
I'm setting up a system that generates as much
passive income as possible.

It's because people are programmed to be greed based. Hence
why people want to get money without providing some sort of
value in return.

That's why they will never make any real money with that type
of mentality. I call it a Greed Based Mentality. How can I Get, Get, Get,
without giving anything in return.

Paris Hilton makes money doing nothing.

The goal of all of us should be to own cash flow streams. Not be working in our business, but having our business working for us.

Your ultimate goal should be to have your online businesses working in such a way that you can walk away for 1 year and come back and your business would be the same size or greater when you get back.

How you achieve that is the issue.

And I'll tell you something that's really interesting - this thread is on Google page #1 for that term!

Some days I do nothing and I still make money. If I did nothing every day that would run out sooner or later.

You need to have so much money that you can't spend the interest to truly make money doing nothing.

Back on topic. I think it's hard for many to make money doing nothing. I know a few that do less than a days work a month. They're mosting either retired multibmillionaires that like to dabble or people that have a large property rental portfolio and pay someone to mange it!

And how many of you went and tried to plug that phrase into your salescopy somewhere?

I always thought that those strange searches were made by affiliates in that particular niche?

Isn't having your money working for you doing nothing?

Doing nothing should not be your goal in life under any
condition. You die quicker.

You can work yourself to death, but you can also idle yourself to death!

-Ray Edwards

That is funny it can't be done, unless when you are starting from scratch no, you need to give something to get something back (money). There is not such thing as a free lunch, you are either investing money or time.

hmmm . . .

Maybe it is one person typing it 3900 times a month

It's already at Google's page 2.

People will probably be always looking for quick fixes.. that's our nature...

Hey people, cash in with that keyword LOL. Write an EzineArticle on it and let these braindead, lazy people know that they have to work for the money.

I bet you ANYTHING that around 90% of that 3900 people are people aged 12-16. They know they don't want that McDonald's job or whatever.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: There is no such thing as automated income. If you can prove me wrong, do it.

People certainly have screwed up perspectives of what it takes to make money, don't they? I agree with Biggy Fat...they are probably all teenagers! Might be worth an ezine article or two to see what the market is like.

I think even a trust fund with a pulse has enough common sense to realize somebody had to work and build the foundation that their money was created on but then again....maybe I am wrong hmmmm

Make money doing nothing but buying lottery tickets, maybe.

In the UK I reckon that approximately 20% of the population make money doing nothing - those of us with jobs lose a huge chunk of our income paying for it.

Just thought I'd let you guys know I decided to give this one a shot. Here's my new site. Let me know what you think ...

Make Money Doing Nothing

The closest you can get to making money doing nothing is to pay people to do the work for you.

For example, pay for someone to do keyword research, create a product, build website, build a list etc.

That's why providing a service can be charged for the most - you do the work so the client doesn't have to.

But why would you want to make money doing nothing?

Doesn't it take away a sense of achievement. How many marketers here value the sense of achievement at least the same as getting money?

If you get money by doing nothing then they will not get a buzz from their first sale. How sad is that.

Call me a dreamer then because I believe you can make money doing nothing....

Considering all the threads here about the power of the mind and your outlook (aka 'platform' etc etc) I'm surprised you're all dissing this notion.

If you think outside the box or come up with something brilliant, surely you will make money doing nothing?....
What about someone who stumbles upon a brilliant invention?
What about a hit song?
What about some website that just goes viral?
People do get lucky or happen to be in the right place at the right time and I'm sure yet others place themselves in the right place at the right time...

I haven't even 'made it' yet (in IM) but I make money doing nothing right now.
I do this in my current job!
*LOL* I'm at work right now, getting paid to sit here and read this fantastic forum *grins*

[EDIT] And to answer you guys who scoff at people who don't want to work for their money, maybe they are like me who would rather play than work.
Let's say I found myself with several million dollars in the bank tomorrow. This wouldn't diminish the value of my life or the pleasure or satisfaction I would have within it. I would travel, I would surf all over the world, I would study, I would read and play computer games, watch and make films.
{By the way I realise that someone is bound to say that inventing something or having a website go crazy overnight etc etc is work but I don't think that's the kind or hard regular work we're discussing here}

Make money doing nothing is like an impossible thing but maybe, if you would really work hard then, there would be no doubt that you would reap what you sow.

Well, I don't see how possible that is without first investing your time and effort into a lot of hard work after which you can recline and enjoy the benefits of "doing nothing" while your money works for you.

nothing gets you nothing, while something gets you something. common sense

Not sure who is searching for those kind of terms, especially the exact search terms,

Mostly people who are searching for those terms may not really want to achieve it but trying to see if other people are searching for this kind of solutions or not.

If somebody is seriously searching for this kind of solutions, my answer would be to deposit a huge amount of cash for a fixed investment purpose and let money do the work rather than some human body doing the work.
My answer is it is not impossible but only very few people can achieve in their life

Hope I am making sense to you all.

passive income is another story...
thats something worth pursuing

Very nice title for a post and it is a real attention-grabber. Here we are in a flaming folder! There must be a way to make money with that phrase...ethically!

I just did a Google search for the exact phrase, but alas, this thread is not on page one in my data center right now. Further down I read that it was...

even paris hilton needs to shop, so paparazzi could stalk her around, and i think she gets money indirectly from all of these publicity.
i think the phrase " make money from home" also gets searched a lot.:-)
everyone is just finding ways to work from home.

Do nothing - get nothing.That´s how it works and will work.It´s funny how people think that just because something is online it would be any easier.It´s hard work to make a living online.Those who now make $100K per month have built a site, a huge mailing list over time and now they are reaping the rewards.

That would actually be pretty boring...doing nothing that is. Putting in the hard work in the beginning is why most people are broke.

Dang, you know I could market this idea as a physical product. I just wonder how many people would pay good money for it ... at least if I told them up front I was just going to sell them a dirty piece of cardboard with "Why lie? I need a beer!" written on the front?

Just my two cents

Wow, Will.
You are fast, aren't you.
An action taker.

While others were talking about this topic.
You went ahead and built a site. Awesome man.
Hats off to you.

First you have to be famous.

Then you can make money doing nothing as you can collect royalty from song records, patent products, etc.

So, once you are famous, your name will generate income doing nothing ...

Maybe they aren't thinking that it is possible, but are rather wishing it to happen by typing it into Google

Well, I am making money doing nothing

The key should be to work really hard in your first years, to setup several streams of passive income...

So there will be a time in your life when you do "nothing" and money keeps flowing in...

And/Or develop your mind until you can hit a lottery jackpot...

(No joke, I personally know 2 guys who did that)


: )

The entire IM business is built on the "make money doing sh!t" premise... or at least that's what many newbies believe. Just take a look at the WSO section or at Clickbank marketplace: "Make $34,943.93 while scratching your balls with this super duper secret. Buy Now for $37"

The truth is that 99% of the people who make it big have actually busted their asses in order to get there. There's no such a thing as a free meal.

I love threads like this... lol too funny...

had a quick look at Google and I didn't find this post on the first page of Google...
Maybe because I'm from Canada?

Oh well, carry on...

How many views and replys has this had?!!

I like this thread...this shows how lazy the general common wealthy is getting.
Truth is if you work hard you sleep well,
If you work smart you'll live well.

Few could make money doing nothing. But lots can make money doing a lot!

I think we need to keep the keyword density high on this one to make the thread hit the top of the serps. So to make money doing nothing, you need to setup a system that will allow you to make money doing nothing. Such a system that allows you to make money doing nothing must operate passively, otherwise your dream to make money doing nothing will not come true. I currently make money doing nothing because I have a system that allows me to make money doing nothing. That's all I'm saying

TomG.

Tom, in order to make money online doing nothing, you need to do something first, before you can make money online doing nothing. Once you have the processes set up, it is easy to make money online doing nothing.

Btw, any news on that design project lol?

"Make money doing nothing" in IM can be more accurately described as:

Work an hour now and get paid a CEO's wage for that in daily micro-payments over 10-15 years. That's why this is a hard business for some - it takes massive foresight.

I have a site that I have literally not touched in over a year that was an experiment that still make me adsense money. I am just totally surprised every day to see that people just keep searching and clicking.

Actually, those numbers are way high. There aren't that many monthly Google searches for that term. Probably closer to about 400-500.

i guess these kind of people that are doing the searches, are pretty tired working that they are ready to do nothing , and yet still making money.
overworked....

The best way to make money doing nothing is to hope to inherit a LARGE sum of money,then invest it WISELY in the stock market or in real estate. If only we were ALL so lucky! :-(

Most of us have to work REALLY hard for 1-3 years (or longer) and then sit back and let our money or online businesses work for us.

I think the only way to make money doing nothing is to have made money doing something, and built up an awesome residual income base. It's also interesting how many ads you see that make this sort of promise.

Well I'll tell ya guys, I have been working on the Internet for years and I'd hardly call this work, its more like a challenge to me. Would I call it money for nothing? No but when you are doing something you love, it doesn't seem like work. Now for the people searching the phrase "Make Money Doing Nothing" I'd be willing to bet that half are people like you and me doing research. I search phrases like that all the time looking for a product to sell and checking the competition. That's how I get ideas on what to market, what keywords to target, how my sales page should look and so on.
