I’ve been getting a few emails lately from people asking me about how they can ‘make money.’ This is an impossible question to answer since I don’t know their motivations, interests, personality, work history, and so on.

There are just so many variables and decisions that exist, making it impossible to tell someone how they should or could make money.

For some, starting an online shop will be a fun and profitable adventure. For others, providing a desirable skill to help others will be a fulfilling and highly rewarding experience.

So, I’m not sure how to explain this so that it applies to you — but — I’ll do my best.

The Basics of Buying

Think about all the ways money exchanges in the world. Forget about investing and bitcoin and gambling — you won’t find any help here. Focus on all the day-to-day interactions where you give your money to another person or business.

Now, ask yourself — why did you give away your money? And, what made you pay the price that was asked?

Money has two functions:

  1. To satisfy a need or desire
  2. To solve a problem
