Chapter 1: The Secrets of Income Generation
It's not in my interest to disclose my earnings or methods.
Are you really that naïve?
You can hardly scroll through Medium for even half a minute without encountering an article about someone's lucrative side hustle or income strategy. At first glance, it might seem counterintuitive. If I were to share my approach, you'd likely replicate it. By revealing the keywords I excel in, the niches I dominate, and the revenue channels I've established, you'd become my rival. This isn’t beneficial for me, as my success hinges on offering a unique value proposition that stands apart from the competition.
Consider this analogy: After painstakingly searching for months, you stumble upon a treasure trove of gold. Would you share this discovery with anyone?
Have you ever heard of a gold miner taking out advertisements or putting up billboards to reveal the location of their treasure? Absolutely not.
Even if I chose to explain my methods, the specifics of my situation are unique and cannot be easily duplicated. This is something you should also keep in mind. Therefore, generic advice often misses the mark. As the saying goes, no one steps into the same river twice. Those who boast about their success are often trying to sell you tools instead of revealing the secrets to their success.
Section 1.1: The Fishing Analogy
When I was younger, my father and I would go flounder fishing in South Jersey's bays.
Over time, we observed a curious trend: when one boat started catching fish, others would quickly swarm around them. Before long, a flock of boats would be competing for a dwindling supply of flounder, all following the herd mentality.
Interestingly, the fishing magazines that arrived at our home often showcased enormous catches from party boats—where many people charter a boat for fishing trips. These glamorous photos would entice customers to sign up for charters. However, those who actually went on these trips would tell a different story; the reality was that the big catches were rare. It was all just clever marketing.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Gold Rush Connection
The same principles that apply to gold mining echo in the world of flounder fishing and writing. Those who boast about their success aren’t revealing the location of the gold or the best fishing spots; instead, they’re drawing you into their scheme. I’d wager there's a 100% chance you’re being set up as prey.
If your goal is to cultivate your own income sources and master your chosen fields, you cannot simply mimic others. You need to identify what truly works for you and remain consistent until you find success. Then, it’s wise to keep your achievements under wraps to protect your hard work.
Section 1.2: The Writing Strategy
In essence, you need a sustainable writing strategy that goes beyond fleeting, superficial tactics that yield minimal results.
