The Necessary Unpleasantness: Narrative of Attempts to Make Money – Report With Insights Picked up in the Process (in English)

Synopsis "The Necessary Unpleasantness: Narrative of Attempts to Make Money – Report With Insights Picked up in the Process (in English)"
WHAT IS THIS COLLECTION OF NOTES ABOUT? Part narrative of a roughly 20-year period when I grappled with what I regarded as the “necessary unpleasantness” of trying to make money, and partly a report with insights I picked up along the way. * * * On Sunday, 7 December 2014, I wrote: A strange thought recently occurred to me: to position myself as someone who gives advice on the subject of making money from home. I even thought of building up, like hundreds of other so-called internet marketers, a mailing list of people to contact every time I write a new piece on the subject, or when a new product comes on the market that might be useful to my readers. Why shouldn’t I do it? Because it is a tainted subject? Because some sellers of information on how to make money from home are common criminals? Okay, it’s not really a complex matter. If someone had asked me ten years ago if I would like to one day be in a position to give practical advice to people on how to make a little extra money, I would have delivered a monologue in the living room without a moment’s delay on how much better the world would be as a result. I don’t even have to make money with it – 99% of the time it can just be my contribution to helping other people. I mean, don’t I already have many years of personal experience? Have I not gained a truckload of knowledge, enough to do something like this? Why should I stand on the sideline if I can provide advice to people on this topic – or warn then what not to do, or serve as an example of how to not go about doing things? WHO IS THE WRITER?
