Financial Freedom Tips: How To Earn Money, Not Make It

Out of all the business advice I have received in the past few years as an entrepreneur, the BEST suggestion has been to “Earn money, not make it!”

Seems like a simple sentence but if you think about it, this can be a profound statement that can change your life. a lot of people think that earning money is the same as making more money. They’re WRONG.

Either you can understand and implement the difference or continue to struggle with a home based business that fails to give you financial freedom. Most people in the world have the capability to make money but only a select few actually earn it. That’s what makes them successful in the long term.

The question is…which of the two are you doing?
Just picking any money making scheme on the web and running after “get rich” schemes with a high commission will not get you anywhere near accomplishing your financial goals.
The key is to think about what exactly you want to do and where you want to reach. Earning money requires you to evaluate the different business opportunities and analyzing them for being lucrative or not.

Most people start with affiliate programs as the first step towards financial freedom. it won’t be hard to make money by promoting the top selling products without having any idea about their suitability for the buyer.

To earn money, you will have to recommend the best product for the buyer and his family. You will have to understand his desires and see the bigger picture. Earning money is about looking beyond the cash register and counting the number of dollars you make as commission.

Similarly, people who give useful, relevant information through their websites will see high-quality traffic of brand loyalists. For websites that depend on attracting user attention with flashy, cheap offers can make a quick buck but that’s not what financial freedom is about, not at all.

Obviously, people prefer the easier way out. Making money is just doing what millions of other people are doing. To earn money, you will have to be different, be ready to work hard and be willing to try new and innovative ideas.

Making money will definitely require lesser time and efforts but when you actually earn money, the financial freedom will be much more valuable and satisfying than anything else.
