I'm not going to write you an article about "seven guaranteed ways." If they were guaranteed, I wouldn't have failed so many times.

I've joined plenty of websites and tried plenty of ideas. Every couple of weeks I'd find a new one that looked better than the last, drop what I'd started, and begin again from zero. Each time I told myself: this time is different. It wasn't.

The problem was never the websites. I figured that out late. I'd start, then judge the method after a few days, when I hadn't really given it a chance. I was looking for fast results, and fast results in this field are either a lie or luck.

I know this might sound repetitive. But when you fail ten times the same way, you start to believe the problem is you. That's what really wears a person down. Not just the lack of money, but the doubt.

So I made a simple decision: one method, and a real commitment to it.

I'm not promising success, and I honestly don't know if it will work. But I do know that one attempt lasting three months tells me more than ten attempts lasting a week each. At the very least, I'll find out whether the method doesn't work, or whether I was quitting before it had a chance to show results.

I'll write about what happens here, honestly: what works and what doesn't. The internet is full of stories from people who made it, and hardly anyone talks about those who are still somewhere in the middle.

So if you're reading this and you're in my position, trying, stumbling, starting over, I don't have a formula for you. I only have a question: which method did you leave too early, even though deep down you knew it deserved more?
